MAHOGANY TOWN
DAY 24/11. 00:12.

Three scientists were either too few or too many to handle this machine. They were all in a great mood; any difficulties that arose didn’t have to do with anything regarding the opposite. While each of them would carry out any Admin order with fearful respect (and okay, two of them with glee, too) this was the first job in ages that either of them had actually been excited for.

Because this machine was practically a legendary thing, massive in ability if nothing else, although the actual size of it was no laughing matter either. It controlled time and space in a way no one understood. And ultimately that reverence was something the higher-ups hadn’t taken into consideration, not to mention the curiosity these people possessed (and were the reason they’d been put on a payroll to begin with). So as the scientists crowded around the machine just to look, to investigate this technical wonder, it kind of turned into a scuffle.

Not because they wanted to mess things up. Not even because they didn’t like each other. In fact they were all friendly, which maybe made what followed just a little bit worse.

“Hey, move over, will you?”

“I was here first- wow, just look at this …”

“Is that-- dude, seriously, cut it out.”

They didn’t mean to, of course, but everything in life is an accident, at least according to … well, someone. So when one of them gave the machine a loving pat on the steel casing and another reached over him and someone somehow brushed against a button and something happened, well.

It wasn’t their fault. Really.

Hey there! I'm thinking about tagging Ondurus' post, but first, I was wondering where it takes place. If there's no set location, that's cool, I'm just trying to keep everything straight in my head in case I post to other threads.

It can take place anywhere you want! They're kind of casually blipping around, mentally noting how this all is going down, too busy being a monsterpile to worry too much. Pick a route any route.
