What Willo-B, Willo-B

Willo-B [Character 2.02]

Your story

As one of the trillion robots in the hardware 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 Gravity Wave Anomaly. The Anomaly is a far distant region of space that's destabilizing stars far from it. It's turning your home galaxy into a collection of novas, supernovas, and dead stars, 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 six months, 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 chronotonic shortfall is VERY, VERY BAD!

The Killbot had the WRONG idea. This field needs more power, not less. The breaker is the only switch between the TFE and the reactor complex powering the Chronosynclastic Infundibulum. Crank up the power and the field will shrink to its proper radius. Or, is there another way you can get the system to Power Level TEN?

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. "Open a Quantum Tunnel Through the Field Surface") In order to get the timing right, you say the associated phrase (in italics) out loud. (e.g. "Wrap the dive probe first...") 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. -1)

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.
