Stanford was having quite the time after the events of Weirdmaggedon, but things seemed to have calmed down. Bill's gone, and everything is back to normal, or so it appears. His extensive research has proven vital to assisting Gravity Falls, though it seems like forever ago to him now. He's not getting any younger.

He moved to a new research facility in California full of potential. The possibilities presented by this facility were more than one could count. It seemed inspiring and captivating to him. However, it's hard to tell what might happen or what could go wrong. Life's unpredictable chain of events always keeps people guessing, including him. He's in the middle of an important experiment.

It appears to be groundbreaking work, something that he feels is important. That might change Science and the world around him as we know it. As he finished making notes, he saw an intruder nearby and shouted at them. "Hey there, what are you doing in my lab?1 You better state your purpose or else." He pointed to a table full of weapons at his disposal. Were you a threat or someone being stupid? Either seemed possible.
