Great Men of Science

So things didnt go the way they were supposed to for Albert Malfort. Since his project didnt win the college-capping science fair -- he propelled a teacup pig five minutes through time -- he didnt land a fancy R&D job at Gray Labs a think tank and retail juggernaut nor did he escape the shadow of his father an insane pariah of science and former Gray Labs employee who badmouthed the boss. Of course thats all because the smug and wealthy Magnus Riptide destroyed Alberts project; his project proved the charisma reservoir in his brain allowed him to get away with anything. Albert wound up working as a lackey at Gray Labs until they wronged him so he stole a bunch of equipment and conducted another time travel experiment that opened up an intern-swallowing time rift. Reduced to making weaponized robots in his garage for rogue tyrants Albert gets the opportunity to put his life back on track when hes visited by Magnus who needs his help. It would seem that Magnus after accidentally winning a Nobel Prize discovering a new number and starring on the hit crime-drama The Scientist made a miniature evil clone of Thomas Edison who traveled back to 1931 (via Alberts time rift) to steal every patent that ever existed. Will Albert and Magnus find a way to stop Edison from ruining science for everybody? Or will they actually work together and become you know Great Men of Science (and maybe friends)?
