Don't doubt my scienceness!

"Don’t doubt my scienceness!"

If you are curious about the story leading up to this scene (ie, why the storyline is titled "Little Bacon Bots" or why they are in an underground lab or who the dude in the helmet is or why they are debating the ultimate food) you could always go back to the beginning of the story. However, that might raise even more questions, like: why is Torg drawing a nose on his friend in the first place? In that case, you might end up trying to take in the entire archive, which stretches back over 10 years. I did it when there were about 7 years worth of archives... that’s one week of my life I can’t get back, but it was worth it. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you!
