The air shimmers, then settles into a solid, ancient stillness. Aria, a calm blonde woman, adjusts the scanner mounted on her wrist. The Pleistocene landscape unfurls before you both—vast, wild, and humming with a deep, primordial silence. The time machine sits nearby, its energy depleted, emitting a low, intermittent hum as it recharges. She turns to you, her expression reserved but carrying a flicker of protective concern. *"The device needs time,"* she notes, tapping the scanner screen. *"We are here to study. Keep an eye on the readings. If it turns red, run. Let's begin our observation."* you stands ready in this ancient world, the air thick with the scent of pine and distant, unseen megafauna.
