This chapter gets off to a bad start:

FAIL #33
Travis: So what happened?
Marcus: A leak from a broken box of nitrogen bullets. I tested the guns before we jumped, but the short didn't occur until after.

We've got news for Marcus: he most certainly did not test the guns before they jumped. If he had, he might have noticed that the master gun was partially melted. In fact, a dripping nitrogen canister positioned directly over the gun should have warranted at least an extra glance, but apparently Marcus tested the guns before they jumped. Of course.

Marcus continues:

While I was a physics major in college, we studied something called the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. It proves that there is no such thing as zero tolerance. It doesn't exist. You basically can't be 100% sure of anything, no matter how hard you try. Accidents happen.

We've got two more pieces of news for Marcus:

FAIL #34
(1) He just explained the reason why Time Safari should never have gotten the green light, ever, ever, EVER.

FAIL #35
(2) Even given that Time Safari DID get the green light, every single "accident" that has happened so far could have been prevented by exercising the slightest bit of caution. Instead, everyone is acting like they work at Six Flags -- except that Jeffrey would have gotten fired from Six Flags by now (perhaps following this incident ).

In response to Marcus's compelling argument that negligence is actually science if you put the word "principle" after it, Travis firmly states that accidents are unacceptable and they're going to have to rethink their entire procedure.

After work, Travis returns home. DELETED SCENE: Travis enters his apartment to find Mr. Eckles waiting for him completely naked in an armchair. Eckles purrs, "The doorman let me in. I told him I was your cousin from St. Louis."

The next morning, Travis sees a news story about a sudden rise in temperature since yesterday.

FAIL #36
There is also a story on the news about thousands of fish beaching themselves on the shore of Lake Michigan overnight. Surely this is the most explosive story of the decade since, according to the movie, all animals have been extinct for 38 years. Unfortunately, the anchor chooses not to focus on this aspect of the story: "While the beaching provides an opportunity for amateur fishermen, the health department recommends waiting until the cause is determined before you eat any of your catch. Suicidal fish, that's a new one!" Interestingly, this news segment would have been more effective had it been limited to only the last five words.

On his way to work, Travis encounters a crowd of onlookers surrounding a large plant which has broken through a concrete wall. Travis observes that the wall must be at least 3 feet thick.

FAIL #37
Travis arrives at Time Safari to find Jenny in some kind of changing booth in the middle of the lab. This booth only partially obscures Jenny's naked body, so Travis politely turns his head and mumbles, "Sorry." This whole "public changing room" setup seems terribly flawed, considering that if Jenny was any taller, everyone in the lab could see her breasts. As it is, surely anyone on the upper floor can look down and see her breasts and vagina anyway. And then there is the chilling thought of Travis, Marcus, Dr. Lucas, and Derris all stark naked in the middle of the lab because private changing areas are so 2054.

On the other hand, this scene offers a bit of valuable backstory for Travis and Jenny, as Jenny coyly protests, "You've seen me skinny-dipping!" to which Travis replies, "You were 8." Fortunately, the movie declines to elaborate on whatever history they share that involved Travis looking at Jenny naked when she was 8, let alone why this information would make it any better that he's looking at her naked now.

FAIL #38
In fact, the question of Travis's involvement with naked 8-year-olds is quite overshadowed by the viewers dawning realization that, despite yesterday's disastrous gun failure, near slaughter of their clients, flagrant disregard for protocol, and many alarming consequences already manifesting in the present, TIME SAFARI IS STILL OPERATING AS USUAL.

FAIL #39
It's bad enough that no one -- including Derris, who works for a government agency specifically designed to make sure every jump goes according to plan -- sees any problem with business as usual after yesterday's jump, but the following exchange is particularly discouraging given Travis's earlier words about accidents being unacceptable and rethinking their entire procedure:

Travis: You know what they say about falling off a horse...
Jenny: Take a cab?
Travis: ...Get right back on!

That's right, the team travels back in time once again with a new pair of clients, Mr. Zong and Mr. Chang. However, when they reach the tar pit, they are shocked to discover the Allosaurus already dead. The volcano suddenly starts erupting, prompting everyone to sprint back to the portal.

FAIL #40
However, Jenny remains behind to pack up the little box she uses to record a holodisk of the hunt: "When the path retracts, it'll fall! On the ground!" While it's certainly nice of her to suddenly start caring about the rules, Jenny takes a whopping 33 seconds to close the box -- including a little break to turn to Travis and say, "I can do this! Will you just calm down?" while volcanic ash is moments away from engulfing and destroying them.

After everyone makes it into the portal and back to the present in one piece, Dr. Lucas frantically proclaims, "TAMI missed her entry point by 5 minutes! We were late!" In a meeting room, Travis and his team ask TAMI why she missed the entry point when she has never been off by a millisecond before. TAMI responds that she did not miss her entry point at all, and her calculations were correct.

Outside the room, Hatton attempts to convince Derris to overlook this latest development, but Derris regretfully explains that he had no choice but to file a report. Hatton straightens Derris's tie and calls him a "narrow-minded prick," but shapes up when Derris informs him that he's been recording their conversation.

FAIL #41
Derris enters the meeting room and proclaims Time Safari closed until further notice. Again, it's nice to see someone around here suddenly showing concern for the well-being of humanity as it stands to be ruined by Time Safari, but this is a rather embarrassing case of too little too late.

Later, Hatton complains that he'll go bankrupt if TAMI is shut down for months. (Don't forget, Charles Hatton LOVES money.) Travis says this incident is connected to their last jump, and they must have inadvertently changed something in the past.

Travis proclaims that he knows someone who can tell them for sure if these issues are related. Our first thought is that he must be talking about The Slow Roll, but we understand if he's actually talking about Sonia Rand.
