Your name is Alex Tully, an 18 year old High School student with brown hair and average build who rather desperately needed a job for the summer. Which is how you’ve ended up as a intern of Dr Barnaby Gander, your area’s resident mad scientist. It’s an okay job all things considered, you hand the doctor his tools and get him coffee. All and all it was a fine way to get some money.
You were just collecting some sone scattered parts and tools to put back onto the shelf when suddenly the doctor calls you.
“Alex! Come here, I need you for something!”
Putting down the parts you quickly walk into the room which the voice originated from to see Dr Gander working on his long time project. A large booth attached to a complex series of wires, poles and computers, all hooked up in ways you can’t understand.
Dr Gsnder, an older man with wild unkept hair who looks like the archetypical mad scientist, quickly gets up and pulls you over once he notices your arrival “Ah! Good you’re here. I’ve finally finished my greatest game invention! A fully functional time machine”
He ushers your attention back to your machine as confusion and shock washes over you
A time machine seems abused, yet you have seen him build some very crazy stuff. Not knowing what to say you simply go “That’s great Dr Gander.”
He nods excitedly “indeed it is. And you’re going to be the one to test it!”
As he walks over to the control panel you look at him in shock “What?! Test that...!?”
The doctor seems to disregard your concerns “Oh, you’ll be, I’ve done every calculation, I am so confident I would test it myself if it weren’t for the fact I needed to operate it here” seeing that your doubts are still present in your face, he continues “and.... if you test it, not only will I ensure you are known as the first time traveller.. I will also give you a massive bonus, help you with a new car and college, the works!”
Well.. you do suppose this isn’t the first time you’ve tested his inventions in the months you’ve worked for him. Plus the bonus would be nice, you do need to money. Fame is an added plus as well.
“Alright... I’ll do it.” You say reluctantly, causing the doctor to grin.
“Brilliant! Here” he says handing you some kind of fancy remote or tablet thing “take this, it’s a temporal device which will allow me to communicate you and pull you back to the present. It will also scan your location and camouflage you and itself to suit your current location and time period. Now hop in and let’s get this thing going.”
“Huh, neat” you say, eyeing the device as you climb into the chamber while the doctor activates the machine.
“So where.. we when am I going anyway?” You ask as devices power up all around you.
“Why where’s the fun in spoiling the surprise” says the doctor before suddenly pulling a massive switch, sending a massive energy into your chamber.
The energy aborsbs you, sending you flying... somewhere... but where will you end up?
