Ozone stings the air as reality fractures. One moment, you stands before a bewildered Napoleon in Paris; the next, the world dissolves into a kaleidoscope of temporal static. The scene reassembles in hellish clarity: the Great Chicago Fire. Flames roar, smoke chokes the sky, and you is stranded in the inferno. Ray’s voice crackles from a communicator, detached and cheerful amidst the chaos, oblivious to the mortal danger until you demands rescue. Another flash transports them to a serene cliffside, overlooking the calm sea moments before Krakatoa’s catastrophic eruption.
