A going away gift

Cerebrum and Cain were just closing up the starbug when the huge hamster
taps Cain on the shoulder, "Hi there, Grouchie! Did ya forget that I'd
agreed on delivering a live bug to ya? And you better take good care of that
egg your holding... Cain, meet Mommy. Mommy, meet Cain."
Cerebrum looked at Cain, then at the large slavering alien queen. "Is this a
routine thing you have to deal with in your department?" he asked, as Cain
pulled a tranquillzer gun and pumped a dozen armor piercing anti-alien
knock-out darts into it.
"Phil your going to have to finish this last bit, as I can't stand to eat
another CNO flavored bite of this stupid jerky that the Archivers made for
correcting the fouled up time stream!" Said the huge hamster thrusting the
Temporal jumping 'Slim Jim' in his face.
At this point, the Queen had been contained and the starbug had left the
ship. Cerebrum noted that the time stream appeared to be fixed, given that
he had stayed in the present for over thirty minutes now. While Cain was
busy securing the queen, Cerebrum punched up a comm to Phil.
"I see that the time hopping has been solved," he said. "I'm going to be
leaving the ship-"
Cerebrum drummed his fingers on the console, waiting for the cheering to
stop
"For a short while. I will be back," he finished, abrutly ending the
cheering. "By the way, I notice from this sensor reading that the ship, as a
result of cascade, is 500 meters away from where it should be. Where are
you?"
"The command deck, why?"
"Oh, well, you'll want to evacuate the command deck then, in about a
minute."
"Why?"
Cerebrum told him. The command deck was empty in thirty seconds.
In five seperate time periods, protected by chronoton emiters, Cerebrum's
meson cannon rotated and fired a four-dimensional shot, a very impressive
piece of shooting. The beams curved in time, met and headed towards the
target. The target was supposed to be the black hole, in order to knock it
inside out and sent temporal waves through the time stream, destroying the
cause of the chaos.
Unfortunately, the command deck was now located where the black hole had
been before the cascade reaction destroyed it.
After the beam hit, Cerebrum looked out the window of the Starbug at the
large, smoldering hole where the command deck used to be. He shrugged. "Oh
well, you win some, you lose some."
