No time like the present

"Hey, watch where you're pointing that Neutron Fluxer!" Vision admonished Iron Lad.

"Gladly, if you'll just find me a little more slack!" Iron Lad barked back from halfway inside the Orphu time-vessels inner workings.

Iron Lad and Vision had been working on the time ship's control console for hours, and had not yet corrected the problem; it was almost certainly a major fault. "This is all I need!" Iron Lad exclaimed sarcastically.

It seemed as if there wasnt enough power passing into the overdrive convertor. About 20% of the reactor output wasnt making it through the jungle of internal wiring and transformers and into the convertor. "This might call for a complete rewiring job! Now what happened to that Ridley Sprocket?!"

Just after perfecting the connections and replacing the wiring in the time vessel, a loud alarm began blaring through the entire timeship. Checking the console, Iron Lad found that one of the diagnostic view screens read: "SITUATION CRITICAL! TEMPORAL DISTURBANCE EMENATING FROM 1871, DELTA MARK MARK 17XV 5". The last four segments of the message, Iron Lad determined, contained the time-space coordinates of the disturbance's source.

Vision began interfacing with another console, and then received a more detailed report of the temporal disturbance. "Certain eras of time, both past and future, seem to be disappearing into an event centered around 1871." Vision announced.

After much deliberation, it was decided that The Young Avengers would once again travel backwards in time.
