Not exactly. There's something you'll need to do first -- that is, if you're willing to do it. There is a Bill here from another barge, one where he still has all his powers. He's been trying to resurrect himself in Stan's home universe, which he can do simply by making contact with him.

I have a way to contain this Bill, but I can't do it alone. Will you help me?

[Luke frowns as he reads the message. He's not sure this is his jurisdiction--Bill is his responsibility, yes, but his Bill. Is he supposed to interfere in another version of that being?

Then again, aren't they all interfering in universes that aren't their own? Metaphysical morals aren't really Luke's forte.]

Let me understand this first. You want me to help stop another Bill from interfering in another universe. What about his warden?

If he has one, they're incompetent or out of their league. My guess is he hasn't been paired with a warden yet.

I guess even if it's not our Barge, we shouldn't let that happen. But what's my Bill doing?

At the moment, nothing. He's been drained of his powers and turned to stone, but he's still alive. I think the other Bill is responsible, but I can't be sure.

[This, Luke thinks, is probably something he should have known about, and if not prevented, at least done something about.]

Either way, my inmate's been harmed and I need to check on him. What are you thinking of?

You know how you said trapping Bill was the worst thing for him?

Well, I'm going to do just that. Until we figure out what to do with him and can stop him from turning this Stan's universe into a chaotic nightmare anyway. I've hidden components of the trap in the New York Public Library in Thomas Edison's biographies. (No one needs THAT many biographies, especially not a hack like him!) I've asked several others to bring them to my location. My warden will be tracking me. When they're all in the same place, Tesla will activate them, forming an energy field that will suck Bill into a containment unit.

Our Bill is in the L. L. Diner, inert in the freezer. But if you go, DON'T MENTION HIM TO STANLEY. It's VERY IMPORTANT that NOTHING makes Stan Pines think of Bill. I'll explain it all later.

[Luke understands like a third of what Ford is saying.]

But Bill--my Bill--he won't be involved?

You understand, I'm trying to do the least possible harm to his progress while agreeing that we can't allow worlds to be ruined.

Actually, I do.

He won't be involved.

Then, I guess, I'll help as much as I can.

Thank you.

Get a node and bring it to where I'll be fighting Bill. I don't have to win, just keep him distracted long enough for all of you to get into position. And KEEP IT CASUAL. You know his powers. Assume he has eyes on you at all times. Don't talk about any of this out loud.

[Luke is uneasy about this. He doesn't want to go behind Bill's back. But he also knows that Bill's capable of all kinds of things--and he is sure that letting him manipulate another universe to his own gain is not a step forward.

He'll have to deal with his Bill later, though, it seems.]

Okay. If you're sure. I'll be there.
