...Then you multiply the Euclidean vector by the square root of pi to the seventeenth...

[Tree gathers the group in the lab and explains the situation to them. Then she draws on the board the equations she has been memorizing in the past days] Tree Gelbman: ...Then you multiply the Euclidean vector by the square root of pi to the seventeenth power, which then gives us an axiom point of 0.004, which then gives us a linear-plane vector of 8.2... [Tree sighs and drops the marker] Tree Gelbman: Boom. Carter Davis: [impressed] Damn! [Tree smiles. Samar and Dre approach the board and carefully examine the equations] Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: Well, if these are all the failed algorithms... Samar Ghosh: ...Then there's only one possibility left. [they turn to Ryan. The three rush to the computer. Ryan sits down and types the equations. Carter and Tree approach. Then the message "system ready" appears on the screen] Ryan Phan: Holy shit balls. You did it! Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: Oh, oh! Tree Gelbman: What? It worked? Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: Yes, yes, yes. Tree Gelbman: It worked? Oh, my God, it worked! [they are excited. Tree hugs Carter] Samar Ghosh: We did it! Why are we so excited? We barely know her. Carter Davis: Honestly, I-I don't know what just happened, but that was impressive. Tree Gelbman: Thanks. Ryan Phan: [hugs their shoulders] Let's do this! [Samar and Dre examine the wires and cables of Sissy. Ryan turns to Tree] Ryan Phan: Just so we're totally clear, one variant closes the loop in this dimension, and the other one sends you back to your original dimension and closes that loop. It's final decision time. Stay here or go back. [Tree hesitates. She turns to Carter and looks at him for a long moment. Then she turns to Ryan] Tree Gelbman: I'm staying here. Final decision. Ryan Phan: Okay. Here we go, then. Stand back. [Ryan sits at the computer and starts typing. Tree stands near Carter. The machine starts to fire up, but suddenly it powers down] Ryan Phan: Huh? [Samar and Dre sigh] Tree Gelbman: What happened? [Dre approaches the computer] Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: Oh, the vector's off. Tree Gelbman: [worried] But you said this was the right one. Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: No, the math was right. Something else is off. Tree Gelbman: [desperately] Guys, I have literally been killing myself to memorize this shit for you. Failure's not an option. [Ryan and Dre's eyes fix on something] Tree Gelbman: What? Ryan Phan: There's something in the hard drive. It must be a virus. Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: [to Samar] Dude, did you open spam porn again on the computer? [everyone stares at Samar accusingly. He has a guilty expression] Samar Ghosh: [unconvincingly] No! Ryan Phan: [grumbles] Great. I have to manually re-enter all this code.
