Debriefing[]
“Your runaway reaction days are over, Jane! You’re going on ice at ACME!” -- Ivan Idea
“Dream on, detectives! You’ve got me under control for now, but there’s a meltdown coming soon and her name is Carmen Sandiego!” -- Jane Reaction
"Way to go! You put the chains on Jane Reaction, mastered the printing press, and got Gutenberg back in the biblical book-making business.
Thanks to you, the printed word will carry the world's wisdom to bookshelves throughout history. Librarians everywhere thank you!
Work like that deserves a reward. Hey, can you handle a promotion? Good! Because now you're a Time Detective! And if you want to try your title on for size, there's another case brewing. Can you start working on it?" -- The Chief
