"I'm going to have to what?"

"I only wanted to shut down the Mega Collider because there were some funny readings in the chronoton monitor."
“Yes, about that. We think it would be better if you reported that the day before yesterday.”
“But then I’d be reporting it before I ever saw… Wait, what happened?”
“Something we don’t want to happen, sir.”
