Rastun sighs in exasperation yet again, but if he was being honest with himself, he never expected good news in the first place.  To top off Sideways's escape, there was whatever data Brainwave wanted him to look at.  As he examines it, Rastun realizes that it's as bad as he feared.  Several hundred timelines and dimensions were merged in that location, similar to the universe he came from.  They needed to find the cause of this second anomaly as soon as possible.  The more immediate problem is Sideways though, and he's probably connected to the anomaly somehow anyway.

"So, how many cities are we going to decimate in our second attempt at catching Sideways?  I assume you have an idea how to start this off."

However, Rastun takes the first step and takes out his bottle of aspirin, gulping down two pills.
