Add new trope Phlebotinum Proof Robot
Added DiffLines:
* PhlebotinumProofRobot: Because Data is an android he perceives time different from organics and can therefore handle the effects better than the others. He's sent to fix the device. Even when it splits him into three versions from three slightly offset timeframes, he can figure out which version is the only one that can fix the device.
