Time Vortices or Wormholes are rips in the space-time continuum. These wormholes appear in the ground in areas across the FusionFall world in both the Past and Future. Plumber Jim who is stationed in Sector V, states that messages come from the future through them. Some Dexbots , Plumbers , Urban Rangers , and Monkey Minions have been assigned the task to watch over the portals in various locations in The Suburbs . Most of the vortices have items such as chairs, poles, and pipes embedded in them.
