What makes Sam leap?
After numerous attempts to retrieve Sam failed, both he and Al agreed that some unknown force (often referred to as “God, Fate, Time, or Whatever”) had taken control of the project and was using Sam as a tool to correct mistakes in history. Now, whenever Sam does the work that G.F.T.W. needs him to do, he is leaped on to a new situation. He continues to do G.F.T.W.’s work hoping that when he has completed all the tasks expected of him, he will be leaped home. Ziggy, the computer that runs the project, often makes a hypothesis as to what Sam’s mission is, based on information in her databanks about the time period and location. However, Sam usually trusts his gut more than the computer and often disagrees with Ziggy’s assessment.
