What Willo-B, Willo-B

Willo-B [Character 2.01]

Your story

As one of the billions of androids in the software civilization of the Predestined to Fall, your goal is to find a way to go back in time. That will allow the Predestined to Fall to make a complete set of complex cosmological observations of the Immense Spew. The Spew is a far distant region of space that's pushing everything away from it. It's accelerating your home galaxy into a collision with a neighbor, a chaotic catastrophe of cosmic consequences.

Why does the Time Field Emitter Display Map refer to a "Great Attractor?"

Your calculations and computations say you've gone back a month, to when you turned on the Time Field Emitter. (TFE) The pulsars used to determine your location are in the completely wrong places. This Time Field Emitter has some odd widgets, but they don't explain what's happening. The glowing field, clearly a chronicollapsar destability is VERY, VERY BAD!

The Killbot had the right idea. This field has to power down, and the breaker is the answer. It's the only switch between the TFE and the reactor complex powering the Chronosynclastic Infundibulum. Or is there another way to bring the power down to Power Level ZERO?

You know some Relevant Physics and Clever Math

You have three possible choices of action. You must use Your Manipulator (a household prop of your choosing) to perform the listed action on The Manipulated (another household prop of your choosing). (e.g. "Insert the Meson Damper Through the Field Boundary") In order to get the timing right, you say the associated phrase (in italics) out loud. (e.g. "Magnetic Monopole charges — reductive?") The action takes exactly the time it takes to recite the phrase. It's a personal quirk, but it works. When done, the power is changed by the amount specified for the action. (e.g. -7)

The solution requires five actions, one from each participant, performed in the correct sequence. (The Action numbers play NO ROLE in this.) It should be readily apparent if the answer is correct and the action succeeds.
