"Okay," she says turning towards him. "Since this is a serious talk now, we're just going to have to ignore my bubbles for the time being. So. Let's start with Mobebius. Moebius was kind of what you'd call an anomaly, at least in the kind of Jaunts we usually run. We send you into hairy situations, yeah, but they're mostly not extreme. Okay, yeah, sure, there was Harrogate, but honestly, that's 'cause Astræa has a bone to pick with the Elder Goobers and kind of overestimated your competency.
"I mean sure, Moebius' world was in our pool of worlds to send you to, but there's all kinds of Jaunts we've got in our pool that we've never bothered to send you to yet and we probably never will, like that extreme sports one. And we didn't send you there lightly either. You'd all thoroughly earned the trip. And since Morty and Malbolge were the ones you caused the trouble for, they were in charge of the consequences. Morty decided he wanted to put you through that whole Groundhog's Day reset thing. I mean, cycles kind of are his thing, so I figure that was his idea of a good punishment." She shrugs. "Possibly he was even inspired by the movie. He likes comedies.
"Anyway, Morty set the first term, then Malbolge set the second, which was that it needed to have pain and futility, and then we checked our list and there was Moebius, which suited both terms. So they sent you there. The memory stuff wasn't a side effect we'd planned on, but it was probably for the best. And hey, you guys took down some people who really needed to be taken down."
