You stole a Time Machine from your science professor’s office. No harm in borrowing it, right? In your bedroom, you carefully turn it on, and it makes a loud, sputtering noise before spitting some smoke. After a moment you hear someone coughing from inside the machine, followed by some choice German words. You start to panic; you had planned to open a portal to a different time in history, but you didn’t expect anybody to crawl through! The unexpected intruder crawls out from the machine, and in your panic, you grab a heavy book and bring it down on his head with all your might. You successfully knock him out, but that’s the end of your luck, as the machine shuts off before you can manage to push him back through. Upon closer inspection you realize he’s wearing some kind of black military uniform. Carefully, you turn him over, on the left side of his chest is an Iron Cross pin. You put two and two together and figure out pretty quickly he’s from 1944. Not knowing what else to do, you tie him up and resolve to keep him there until you can make the best decision.
