EGG's Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Family Time - Chapter 2

After tallying the scores from this blog page and our Kuzoa Page (www.kuzoa.com/EGG) it is unanimous that Jamba says a big yes to Dr. Chuck's experiment to travel in time. Shall we continue with the story, you adventuresome kids? Alrighty...

"I'm ready to travel through time!" Jamba tells Dr. Chuck.
"Good," the white-haired man relies. He punches some numbers into the computer keyboard. The computer starts to hum. The square doorway between the clock and the computer fills with a strange, shimmering glow. "The Chronoport is almost ready," the scientist says, pointing to the frame. "I only need to adjust --"
But before he can continue, Jamba hears pounding footsteps. Jamba turns to see Mamba racing toward him.
"MAMBA!" Jamba cries. Mamba heads straight for the Chronoport. "You can't go in there!"
"You're not the boss of me!" Mamba yells. He runs straight through the glowing frame. There's a soft pop before he disappears completely.
"Oh, Shizz!" Dr. Chuck cries. "He went before I made the final settings! If you don't bring him back within 2 hours of real time, he'll disappear into timelessness forever!"
"What?" Jamba cries. He stares at Dr. Chuck. Erik & Gene are going to ground Jamba for life if he loses Mamba (for some odd reason).
"You'll have to travel in time to find him," Dr. Chuck tells Jamba. "I'd better make those adjustments to the Chronoport so you don't disappear into timelessness, too!"
Jamba continues his vacant stare at Dr. Chuck as he fiddles with the time machine. Jamba can't believe it -- this guy is serious!
"When you find that shaggy-looking kid," Dr. Chuck goes on, "you must be touching each other (ew) before you can use the Chronometer. Otherwise, the device will only bring one of you back."
"No problem," Jamba says, snapping out of his unwarranted trance. "But where did Mamba go? The future or the past?"
"There's no way of knowing whether he has gone to forward in time -- or back," Dr. Chuck replies, looking slightly amused. "You'll have to guess."
Jamba touches the Chronometer around his neck. It begins to measure real time the moment Mamba disappeared. Already the seconds are ticking by.

Now, you have to make a decision, Listeners: Is Jamba more likely to find Mamba in the past or in the future? Time to vote!!

1) Send Jamba to the future.
2) Send Jamba to the past.
