The hamster flips a coin, and causes a metaphysics discussion...

Who: White Wolf, Wd-40, Major Havoc, & Grabby
Where: Somewhere in the floating city near a door.
When: Just before the two groups split up. Ok then, would you believe
I misplaced Big Ben?
The huge hamster stood in thought for several seconds, while debating
which way he should go.
Major havoc caught ahold of grabby by the collar while he was trying
to sneak off, and asked, "So Which way is hamster. Get off this float
rock or hijack a Plebian command center?"
"Well, we need someone to warn the crewmen back in camp. But, we
don't need everyone to warn them, so we can go help Cerebrum stop the
bots themselves. I hate impasses like this. Alright, I'll let the
coin decide." replies the hamster talking mostly to himself, while
taking out a coin out of one of his vest pockets, and quickly
flipping it into the air while finishing, "Heads we get into the
shuttle, tails we go help Cerebrum."
The slowly rotates in the air, and comes down towards the hamsters
outstretched paw as a siren suddenly starts wailing, startling the
hamster into miss catching the coin. The coin bounces twice on the
pavement, slowly spins, before coming to a stop on it's edge.
Major Havoc's mouth dropped open staring at the coin, while Wd-40
stated matter of factly, "Sir, that's impossible."
The hamster glanced down at the coin, and slapped his forehead while
muttering, "I think means our day has just gone from bad to terrible.
But it does explain why the Plebs are able to change humans into
plebs, and a whole lot of other things especially when you consider
future Phils presence and our recent difficulty in using his time
washing machine."
Wd-40 paused and tapped his chin with a mechanoid finger before
nodding and replying, "Yes sir, I believe follow your reasoning. And
we must hurry, we may be able to take offensivce action while using
the time washing machine ourselves."
"Possibly, But I don't know. Because, I don't think changing time is
going to help us very much this far into the scenario. We need to
find the device and either turn it off, or destroy it to undo the
changes it's already made." Mused the hamster.
"What are you two talking about?" Blurted Grabby.
"Apparently, either the Plebs have stolen a device that can shift the
normal probability matrix, or someone has given them a device with
that technology. And they've also come up with a way of manipulating
the results." Replied the huge hamster explaining.
"A device that can shift the what?" said Major Havoc not
comprehending, but trying to follow along.
"A probability matrix is a sort of list of possible causes & effect
results which make up the norm. For example, if you roll a six sided
die, you normally have 1 in 6 chance to land on any specific side
each time you roll that die. But, if you had such a device in which
we're refering to, you could shift that probability matrix from just
landing on one of those six sides to include the eight points on the
die, and thus making it possible to land 14 different ways instead.
Now, imagine taking this a step further, for every event that occurs
in a given area, and being able to selectively pick the one's you
want." Replied the large hamster.
Major havoc blinked as that sunk in, and he said, "Alright, I think I
got it, now. We have destroy some device that's causing all this
loopy stuff. In that case, I guess I'm with you."
"Alright, let's go catch up with Cerebrum's group in the Command
center, perhaps we can learn something there." Says the huge hamster
marching off towards the big building.
OOC - Alright I've choosen which group I'm going with, and didn't
neccessarily advance the plot, but I posted!
