The HHW Time Machine

== Prologue ==
Many older HHW users are nostalgic for an older time. A time machine has been invented, and it's now HHW's chance to go back to simpler times. 
== Chapter 1 == 
SM: Alright kids, it's time. Time to go back to 2016. 
Bob: I can't wait for the nostalgia! This is going to be fun. We're even going to get to talk to our past selves! 
Gied: I can finally be an old hag! And I can tell 2016 people about Technoblade! 
SM: Gied pls, Technoblade is irrelevant. 
Bob: I can even tell 2016 Bob that the Atlantic is heading for an epic era! 
Hype: I'm going to go tell 2016 Hype to work somewhere else. 
Dane: I'm going to tell 2016 Dane to not be a jerk. 
Nuri: This is going to be fun! 
Sandy: Agreed. I can't wait to go back to 2016! 
Chris: Gied and I can go back to 2016 and bring Lithuanians to HHW at a time when they didn't exist! 
SM: Ok, I'm setting the date to September 30, 2016, we are going back in time. Get ready! You're going to feel a big thump. It's going to be rough. You may pass out for a bit! 
Port: 2016? I wasn't even on the wiki then. 
Suddenly, everyone in the time machine blacked out. It was suddenly dark, and everyone lost consciousness. The time machine was moving back in time at a rate of 1 year a minute. Eventually, the crew regains consciousness. 
Hype: So...where am I? 
Bob: I don't know. But apparently my phone says the date is September 30, 2016. I'm not sure what happened. 
Hype: Hmm...perhaps I should check on HHW Discord and find out what's going on.
Hype pulls up the server...except he finds out the server was extremely dead with no posts within the past month. 
Bob: Hype...we need to go to the wiki chat. That's where everyone is! 
Hype: Oh, right! 
Gied: Wikia chat? What's that? I'm typing hypotheticalhurricanes.fandom.com and it's not coming up.
Bob: Just pull up hypotheticalhurricanes.WIKIA.com. This is 2016, it's still called Wikia! 
Gied: Oh, okay! 
Hype then pulled up the wiki chat...except there were 6 people in it: Hurricane Layten, NunoLava1998, Bobnekaro, CycloneRyne94, MasterGarfield, and Hypercane himself. 
Bob: This is weird...I'm already in chat. 
Hype: Because it's 2016! No wonder! You are existing twice in this world. 
SM: Silly kids, it's 2016! I need to make sure I stop myself from spreading words like kek and sad before it's too late.
Gied tries to join the chat, but for some reason, his account was not found.
Dane: I wasn't able to get into my CycloneNkechinyer account, so I made a new Nkechinyer account instead. 
Hype: Gied, you may have to make a new account. Same to you, Chris, Nuri, and Port. 
Chris: Okay, that's right, it is 2016 after all. 
Gied, Chris, Nuri, and Port all also make accounts and join the chat.
== Chapter 2 ==
The HHW users, who traveled the time machine in person, decide to join the chat to talk to the 2016 HHW staff. The date was now September 30, 2016, and the time was 11:00 a.m. EDT. 
2016 Bob: Matthew is a major! 115 mph! ...MATTHEW STRENGTHENS TO A MAJOR HURRICANE WHILE MOVING WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD OVER THE CARIBBEAN SEA...
2016 MH: Yay, Matthew is strengthening! 
2016 Garf: Maybe it will become a C4 
Bob: Garf, you're going to be right, trust me. 
2016 Garf: Why are you calling me Garf Bob? My name is MasterGarfield! 
Hype: Silly Bobbeh, Matthew is a Category 5! 
Bob: Maybe, if you trust SFMRs which have been determined to have a high bias at extreme intensities.
2016 SM: Silly kids, Matthew is just another failicia! 
SM: Silly past self, Matthew is a Category 5 hurricane! 
2016 Sass: Tbh, the Atlantic isn't doing so great. This La Nina is doing nothing. I doubt Matthew will get much stronger than it is now. I mean 2 majors in late September? 
2016 Bob: To be honest I think Matthew will be the last major of the season. We're lagging behind in the ACE department. 2016 has only become marginally less disappointing with its second major. NHC expects Matthew to just level off at 115 mph, so we'll see what it does. 
Hype: Sass please, Matthew will be a Category 5! 
Bob: Hype please, Matthew was NOT a Category 5! 
2016 Bob: Am I being hacked? Why am I typing, and speaking in past tense? 
Bob: I come from the future! 
2016 Bob: Um I think I'm going to have to change my password. 
Bob: Don't! I swear this is me! I time traveled from 2021! 
2016 Hype: 2016 will fail at 14-5-2. Matthew will dissipate in the Caribbean Sea. 
2016 Garf: I'm starting to get concerned about Haiti...
2016 MH: Idk, we'll see, it's only a Category 3 right now. But it has several days over the warm Caribbean. 
Port: Idk what you are all talking about, Matthew is going to start a new era for the Atlantic. 
2016 Sass: A new era? What era? You mean, near average seasons instead of shitty below-average ones? 
2016 Hype: Sass, no cursing. It's against the rules.
Gied: Just wait until 2020. It's going to be an epic season. 5 majors after September. 
2016 Bob: What are you talking about Giedriusforcat5? 5 majors after September in one year? We'll be lucky to have 5 majors in the next 3 years. 
Gied: The season ends on...Iota too! 
2016 SM: Hmm, this Giedrius kid seems to be trolling. He is saying he's coming from the future and. What do you think we should do, permaban him?
Gied: I was born in 2005! And we beat that season! 
2016 Bob: Ok, time to ban. He's only 11. 
Hype: Don't ban him! We're time travelers! 
2016 Hype: This is just bizarre. I swear I must be getting hacked. 
2016 Layten: To be honest Matthew might be a violent five...I'm worried... 
2016 Garf: Levi Cowan says dry air from South America is going to weaken Matthew. 
Bob: He's wrong. Matthew is not going to weaken. 
2016 Bob: Ok, something very suspicious is going on. 
Gied: Sus! 
2016 Hype: Yeah, I think we're under a hack or something. Time to close down chat. 
Hype: Don't close it down, we're just visiting!
== Chapter 3 ==
After taking a brief break, Gied finds that he was banned for being underage. Chris, who also lives in Lithuania, decides to get on HHW wikia chat and defend Gied.
Chris: Gied is not underage, it's...complicated. He's actually 16, but he was born in 2005. But that's because we come from 2021, not 2016.
2016 Bob: Well, I'm sorry but we don't make exceptions.
2016 Hype: "Bobbeh DM, maybe we can resolve this matter.
Bob: Past self, trust me, he's 16.
The 2016 incarnations of Hype and Bob discuss in DM to immediately lift Gied's ban. He is subsequently allowed to return to the chat.
2016 MH: Time travel? k den, that's fake news.
2016 Garf: Bob, do Hilda's track.
Bob: A shame you're going to leave us for Block Wars in 3 years.
2016 Garf: Block Wars? Huh, what's that? I think Bob is being hacked.
2016 Bob: Yeah I think I am being hacked. 
Bob: No, it's not a hack, I swear! 
Port: I was actually born in 2007, but I'm 14. 
2016 Bob: Ok, after the decision not to ban Gied we won't ban you. I'm still perplexed at the whole situation though. 
2016 SM: Do you have any proof that you actually did time travel?
Bob: Yes, I do. Matthew is going to be a 140 mph Category 4 at 5:00 p.m. with a minimum pressure of 949 millibars. And the advisory will be ...MATTHEW RAPIDLY STRENGTHENS TO A POWERFUL CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE... ...HURRICANE WATCH ISSUED FOR JAMAICA...
2016 Sass: That's pretty bold to be honest, considering there's been no evidence of Category 4 force winds yet.
2016 Dane: Yeah, I think it's a pretty generic advisory anyway. And Matthew is going to be the last storm of the season, the EPAC will dominate October! 
Dane: 2016 Dane, please stop with the random downcasting. 
2016 Bob: The advisory that the "hacker" posted on my account looks rather generic and realistic, so we'll see what actually happens come the 5pm advisory. 
Gied, who was unbanned, rejoins the chat.
Gied: I must tell everyone, watch out for a coronavirus pandemic in 2019-21 starting in Wuhan. It's going to lead to widespread lockdowns and everyone going to online school. 
2016 Sass: Nah, no way that happens. Random pandemic fearmongering. 
2016 Garf: Here is the track to Fred 2021, one of the driest hurricanes in the Atlantic! 
2016 Hype: Garfield, this is not a time to talk about tracks. We have a serious situation here. Also, be sure to attend our admins meeting today. We have a very important matter to discuss. 
CycloneRyne94 joins the chat.
2016 Ryne: hi buddies, how is everyone doing? i made a new gift season for good ol' Sass. Also, i see Matthew is 115 mph. 
2016 Sass: Thank you Ryne! 
2016 Ryne: Also i must say, why did you demote me on Hypothetical Tsunamis? This is STUPID and REASONLESS! 
2016 Bob: Ryne, please be mature. You hadn't edited in 3 months. 
Gied: Oh hi Ryne, nice to meet you. Do you like Technoblade? 
Port: Hi Ryne, nice to meet you. 
2016 Ryne: i am contemplating retirement at this point. 
Bob: A shame you are going to disappear forever in 2018. 
2016 Ryne: 2018? How about right now. 
2016 Sass: Ryne, please drop the topic. 
Ryne leaves the chat.
== Chapter 4 ==
Kiko and Minecraft8369, who had previously not traveled with the main party, decided to travel back to 2016. Minecraft8369 had been on the wiki in 2016, while Kiko had not. Kiko was lonely without their boyfriend Gied, who had traveled back to 2016 with the HHW party, and decided to meet back up with him. 
2016 Bob: Kiko Snowe? Who is this user?
2016 SM: Hmm. Maybe he is some snow leopard enthusiast from Canada? All these cringe failicias. It's a shame we haven't had a good user since Brick. 
Kiko: No, I am not from Canada. I'm from Washington State, and I'm in the 8-14 age group. Also, SM, use they or she, not he. 
2016 SM: Sorry, Kiko Snowe. And you say you are in the 8-14 age group? Well, we don't allow users under the age of 13 here if they reveal themselves to be under 13. 
Kiko: yo mama is underage
2016 SM: Please do not be disrespectful, Kiko. Consider this your first warning.
Gied: SM, please do not punish Kiko, I love them. They are just being ironic. 
2016 Hype: Ok, this is bizarre, administration meeting NOW. And yes, that includes you Garfield. You need to step up your participation in meetings. 
2016 Bob: Alright Hype. I think we should really consider shutting down chat. It's a shame this has to happen when there's a notable hurricane undergoing rapid intensification. Also, I have to take the SAT tomorrow. 
Bob: I come from 2021, I swear! 
The 2016 incarnations of Hype, Bob, SM, Garfield, and MH decide to meet up. Sass, who had only just returned from his retirement, did not attend. The 2016 version of Minecraft8369, who had been inactive for unknown reasons, joins the chat.
2016 Minecraft8369: Hi! I can't wait to turn 17 in December! 
2016 Bob: Wait, I thought you were turning 18. 
Minecraft8369: No, I was actually turning 13. I lied. 
2016 MH: What the hell is going on? 
2016 Bob: WAIT...Matthew is 125 mph. And it seems the NOAA recon is doing loops, interesting. 
== Chapter 5 == 
DarrenDude joins the chat. 
2016 Darren: Hi, what's up with Matthew?
Hype: It's going to become a Category 5. 
2016 Hype: No it won't! It will fail! And why am I typing when I am not actually typing?
2016 Darren: Seems weird. 
SM: Darren, don't do Discordgate please. 
2016 Darren: Discordgate? What's that?
SM: It's a coup! Basically, Darren, I come from the future and you try to install Brick as the head bureaucrat and demote Hype-
2016 Hype: Nobody who does a coup will be allowed to be staff on this wiki. Ever. 
2016 Darren: Well I won't do that, I plan to retire in June of next year anyway. But what's going on? Why do we have users claiming to be from the future? And who is this Giedriusforcat5 person? Is he just some kid who wants to be a bureaucrat?
Bob: I come from 2021. Let's just say you're going to have a really fun night tonight, and then years down the line you'll find out it was all for nothing. Just wait until 2020, it gets worse, you won't like that one iota! 
2016 Bob: Perhaps I should just go study for the SAT tomorrow. I don't want to risk being hacked, anyway! 
2016 Bob disappears, while 2021 Bob stays in the chat.
Bob: I swear, it's not a hack! I legitimately time traveled using 2021 technology! And the proof is coming soon. Just wait for the 5pm advisory. I already told you what it would be. 
2016 Hype: Hmm...we'll see. I can't just ban the Bobnekaro account because I think this might actually be you. It doesn't seem like what a hacker would say. And we already decided to let the Giedriusforcat5 guy stay. 
Gied: Matthew is going to be a Category 5 tonight~ 
2016 Sass: I certainly hope so, Giedriusforcat5. The Atlantic hasn't had a Category 5 since 2007, but I don't think Matthew will be the one to end the drought. Also, we have Haiti to worry about in a few days, but at least right now it isn't imminently affecting land. 
2016 Garf: Here is my track for Fred! 
Gied: Oh nice track Garf, also you're going to become a Minecraft PvP god one day. 
2016 Garf: Huh? A PvP god, I rarely play Minecraft these days. And why is everyone shortening my name? 
Bob: I tell you, Gied is right. I couldn't beat him no matter what. He rarely plays Minecraft with us anymore, but he was a tough out when we did play. 
2016 MH: Huh, why is everyone still talking like it's the future k den 
2016 SM: Idk kek 
The chat then abruptly turns into a spamfest. MH, Darren and Sass, being part of the Edit-Farmers Union, decide to let the spamfest continue on. SM starts to get frustrated with the spam. 
2016 SM: Please stop. 
2016 SM: Please stop. I swear I'm not anti=spam, but I just don't like spamming!
2016 Garf: Please stop spamming so I can discuss my latest season.
2016 SM: Ok, two admin rule. This spamfest is over. 
The spamfest eventually ends. It's near 5:00 p.m. in the eastern United States, which meant that the new NHC advisory was out.
2016 Sass: WAIT BOB WAS RIGHT?? MATTHEW IS 140/949! AND THE ADVISORY IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT HE SAID! 
2016 Hype: Wait what? Maybe time travel is real! 
Bob: I told you. Just wait until tonight. You are headed for a moment you'll never forget. 
2016 Sass: Is this a sign? Is the Category 5 drought ending tonight? 
2016 Garf: To be honest I don't think so, Matthew's eye is still clouded, and Levi said dry air would weaken it. 
2016 Hype: The EPAC must DIE IN FIRE in 2017! 
Bob: It's going to die soon. Not so much in 2017, and absolutely not in 2018, but wait until 2020. The Atlantic comeback starts today. You heard me first. 
2016 Sass: Is the moment we've all been waiting for finally here? 
2016 Hype: Matthew is going to fail. 
Gied: No it's not. I swear, it's going to be Category 5! Also, I should go try to play Athens. 
2016 Hype: Hmm...Giedriusforcat5, what is Athens? 
Gied: It's a great creative Minecraft server you host. 
2016 Hype: Minecraft? I've never played that game. 
2016 SM: Silly kids, why are you talking about dead games such as Mainecroft?
2016 Darren: To be honest that sounds really cool. How can I join this Athens server? Nuno started a server a few weeks ago, but it died. 
Gied posts the IP in chat. It doesn't work. 
Gied: Oh wait, Athens isn't being created until 2019! 
2016 SM: I'm still super confused as to what is going on. 
SM: I honestly am too, past self. 
2016 SM: I need to change my password.
2016 Sass: But I swear, Bob who claimed to be from 2021 got the advisory text exactly right! 
2016 Darren: To be honest, that's just a coincidence. 
== Chapter 6 ==
After attending a high school football game, 2016 Bob returns to chat and rejoins. For a brief time, the time travelers leave chat and take a break. The 2016 staff decide to discuss what is going on. 
2016 Bob: Hey
2016 Hype: Hi Bob, we have a very important matter to discuss.
2016 SM: Yeah, we do. But first, I must do a rigged election! 
2016 Hype: SM please, this is not a time for rigged elections.
2016 Sass: Honestly, I think the way that "2021 Bob" got the advisory exactly right was...very suspicious. I think the chances of that being 100% accurate are less than a fraction of one percent. 
2016 Bob: Yeah I must admit, I wonder if I have time traveled in the future and thought I was being hacked when I really wasn't. 
2016 Hype: To be honest, we should not shut down chat, because I wonder what the 2021 users have to say. If anything, it makes me optimistic for HHW that most of us will still be around in 2021.
2016 Sass: Yeah, to be honest it really does, if it does happen to be true.
2016 Garf: Here's my latest season, the 2048 Atlantic! 
2016 Hype: Garfield, not the time. 
2016 SM: So I also was wondering, what should we do about the upcoming bureaucrat vacancy? Collin just got banned and we need to fill it.
2016 Bob: Hmm, maybe we can hold a bureaucrat election between Darren and MH. 
2016 Odile: I'm running too 
2016 Sass: Odile, you are not qualified to run. 
2016 MH: A bureaucrat election? Sounds fun 
2016 Darren: I will run for bureaucrat to KEEP HHW GREAT! 
2016 Bob: 
Jdcomix joins the chat. 
2016 Jd: To be honest, the situation with Matthew is very bad, I think it'll be a Category 5 at this rate.
2016 Sass: At this rate, it's definitely possible. 140 mph? It was a low-end Category 2 this morning! 
2016 Bob: We'll have to wait what recon finds tonight. Maybe they will find enough evidence for our first Category 5 since 2007...
