The Impossible Scientist!
A = MAJOR SPOILER. B = Possible spoiler that probably only a few will get. C = MAJOR SPOILER.

Congratulations! You managed to pick the possible spoiler answer!




B. Thank him

Nervously, you shake the mans hand and thank him for saving your life. "It's not a problem, honestly! I wasn't exactly going to let you get killed now, was I?" he says, smiling. "Now, I am afraid I will have to ask you to take a seat, as I need to start the demonstration". You as you head off the stage with Mark, you hear the man call "By the way, that was a nice flying leap you took from the slide!"

Feeling embarrassed, you sit down next to Leanne. "Seriously? It was YOU who took the flying leap onto him?!?!" She laughs. "Yeah, knocked him straight into the road too!" Mark informs her, and starts laughing as well. Burying your face in your hands, you start screaming in your head.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! TIME IN THE PARK IS NOW STARTING! SORRY FOR THE DELAY!!!"

Looking up, you see the man smiling. "Thank you computer. Now, is everything ready for me?" he asks the scientists, confidently. "The co-ordinates have been set so you will re-appear at 3:15, doctor". Clapping his hands together, the man sighs, and turns to face the audience. "EXCELLENT! Now, Ladies and Gentlemen...And fat-cats" He jokes, receiving laughs from the front row "I shall now make history, and become a legend! I, ladies and gentlemen...and fat-cats, am about to become the first man to travel through time!"

The reaction to this was mixed. A part of the audience was talking amoungst itself, obviously shocked at this statement. Another portion was clapping, though obviously confused and curious. The front row and half the scientists were clapping, the other half looking on in disbelief as the man opens the door, and steps into the machine. Everyone sits there for what feels like an eternity, before the Computer speaks.

"STARTING TIME DRIVES"

Slowly, the pistons on top speed up, and the gears being to spin. The liquid in the tube starts flowing rapidly, and changes the colour of the pistons smoke. You can see the edges of the machine start to fade, as the gears and pistons speed up even more. A few people have stood up, and a few of the scientist look like they might cry with joy. You smile, knowing this is a great day for science. But the joy is suddenly cut short by a voice.

"WARNING!!! WARNING!!! DESIGNATED CO-ORDINATES OCCUPIED BY THE SAME MACHINE!!! ABORT!!! ABORT!!!"

Your mouth goes bone dry, and you see a look of horror on other scientists faces as the machine begins to rock, and the gears and pistons go out of control. You watch, as the machine starts to appear in the same place it was leaving. "Oh my god! Computer! What's happening!" "TIME SET FOR REAPPEARANCE: 3:15PM. TIME OF DEPARTURE: 3:15PM. PARADOX DETECTED!!! WARNING!!! WARN-" the Computer starts, but is cut short as part of the machine explodes.

Everyone start screaming, and climbing over each other to get away. You stare in horror as another explosion blows the tube open, and the liquid sprays over the audience, altering anything it touches. There is another explosion, and the door flies off, bathing the front row in an eerie, but strong, blue light. You look away, and hear more screams. There is a final explosion, and the gears are blown clear into the air, crashing down a few feet away from you. Finally, the machine stops, with a strange groaning, creaking sound, like it was screaming in pain, before collapsing in on itself.

Looking round at the devastation, you can see a few people crying over loved ones, and people with looks of shear horror as they realise they have either aged drastically, or have been regressed to their youth. The members on the front row have disappeared, either replaced by dust, or leaving no trace at all. You see a few people running up to the machine, and pulling the rubble away, and wonder if you should help.

A. Help them move the rubble
B. Stand and watch

A, of course, you're not a jerk! Unless, of course, this is the origins of Retro and Lad from Crossroads. Either that, or Doctor Who, I was thinking one of those.
