Author's Note: This isn't my first Time Travel story on this side. The other one was the one with Dr Gander. The reason why I'm making a new one is because I've since realised that those are somewhat not branching enough. As in the transformation just happens straight away without much room for exploration. This story aims to rectify that by being different and having changes happen progressively. I really like this site and hope it continues on for a very long time, writing these stories is a nice way to relax. Also decided to take a note out of Isekai's book and label these.

The TimelineMorpher Alpha had been the marketed to investors as the creates scientific achievement. A tool allowing them to travel through the very fabric of time itself. Unfortunately test after test render negative results. The universal timestream wasn't something to be altered lightly and the machine was often experience inconsistent direction and anything sent through time would be simply alter by the universe to repair the timeline.
'The Out of Time Effect' is what the scientists referred to it as. The universe doesn't like it when an entity foreign to the time period arrived. It would also take steps to repair it, in some fashion.
Unable to overcome these challenges and with more and more money being wasted on failed tests, the project has been scrapped and soon the machine itself will be transported for disposal.
Which is where a young intern comes in. You. Barley out of High School you'd taken the first internship you could find in order to get you some experience and possibly help you with college. And now with many of the actual scientists now moved onto 'more productive projects' as the investors put it, you were stuck cleaning their belongings they've left scattered around the TimelineMorpher Alpha lab.
"Shame that thing never worked properly..." you comment dejectedly as you glance over at the device, sitting there waiting to be turned into scrap metal by the technicians.
After throwing an old half eaten meal in the bin you walk slowly over to the device and run your hand over it.
"Would've loved to travel through time" you say chuckling to yourself mildly at the thought. As if. This was just another half-cooked idea by the scientists of this crazy company. Serves you right for getting an internship at DataBling.
However as you said that the machine suddenly shot to life, startling you and causing you to jump back, but before you could an energy began beaming from it, pulling you in as a robotic voice originates from it.
"REQUEST RECIEVED. BEGINNING TIMELINE MORPH. WE WISH YOU A DATABLING DAY"
"WAIT WAIT NO!" you shout in panic, but its too late as you're shot through time in a blink.
