The huge thing is the battleship.

I doubt it'd be the Green Sun. That would be pretty absurd, considering the amount of mangrit needed to pick that up.

When Jake says 20th century I think he's just confusing the time travel issue. That was when their grandparents were alive, so he's assuming that when he's sending the bunny to Jade he's sending it to the early 20th. He apparently has no idea that he's sending it to a doomed universe to an entirely different version of Jade. Which is why his machine eats up so much energy, but he doesn't realize that because he still thinks he's just sending it to the past of his own universe, not the past of a completely separate universe.

EDIT: Whatever the huge thing is, there's basically no way it isn't getting prototyped.

I'm pretty sure that thing's the same as WV's Appearifier.

Also yeah unless that huge thing is Lord English's Cairo Overcoat then its most likely getting prototyped.

That Fetch Modus is bullshit. At least it doesn't delete your poo poo when you get it lined up, like a full row in Tetris.

Of course, I'd probably use a Purse Modus, which has a couple of pockets for the most frequently used, but everything else is just jumbled in there and requires a lot of digging around and cursing. Maybe then I could update to a Messenger Bag Modus, which is exactly the same but with a greater capacity.

Seriously though, maybe it's the planets that Jade had from the pre-scratch session and she gave them to Jake for some reason?

Unlikely. He said he's been syncing up his letter such that he and Jade are running parallel in time. So the Jade he's been talking to up to this point is pre- April 13th, 2009 Jade. (He's about to send her the package, which Jade then then mail to John the normal way in time to get to his house by his birthday on 4/13)

I think the Prospitians, or at least WQ, are aware that there's no way to get out of Prospit losing the war, but that's about the extent of it.
