In the future world of 2136, someone got unexplained power and then
rebelled against oligarchs. Then in the past world of 1857, he had to
fight his way through the United States Civil War to make his way back
to 2024! ... And so Powernaut 2024 continues.

Hacker
Oh, you have a techno-telepathic network in this era to communicate
against me? I have hacked it!
Vice-Principal Powernaut
Oh, good luck with that.
Coach Powernaut
How did you become a Victorian gentleman in *Kansas*?
Hacker
First I fought in the Civil War. In Kansas 1857, people didn't care
about my "skin condition", they merely cared that I could fight. After
the war, I gained success in Topeka and founded my Tomorrow Institute.
The rest is history.
Director Powernaut
If you and your tower were both banished from the future, how did you
wind up in Kansas and it wind up here?
Hacker
The mage who banished the tower cast that curse upon it, so as to
separate me from it for over a hundred years. I had no way to get to it,
except to survive. But this body of mine is excellent at surviving.
Professor Powernaut
What happened to everyone else on the tower when it got banished?
Hacker
You fool, the people who attacked the tower evacuated it beforehand.
Coach Powernaut
Wait, you hired my friend Mel the bus driver?
Director Powernaut
Wait, your telepath is an alien nymphomaniac? And she got that way on Earth?
Professor Powernaut
Professor
Well, at least your minions have fashion sense.
Hacker
Enough! (delete) (block)
