In your time (2100+) things are not easy for you: there is a constant lack of money, your inventions are not accepted due to insufficient evidence of their functionality and no reputation. You have to travel through time using a device similar to a compass, which can only transport you to the past and present (the north arrow shows you which way to launch the portal). You have been selling various trinkets since the old days, but many were not accepted due to their loss of value over time. After another trip back in time, your "compass" malfunctioned, landing you in 1951 instead of 2010. You found yourself in a sinking submarine in the Arctic Ocean. The crew had already been evacuated, and you were alone, waist-deep in rapidly rising, icy water. Your instrument malfunctioned, and you were lost at the bottom. In a panic, you tried to scream, bang on the walls, do anything with this miracle machine: start it, check for a leak. All in vain. But suddenly there was a roar, a crash, a grinding sound - the submarine was grabbed by hooks and was being lifted. You saw a white light through the window. Ice and snow were all around, and water began to pour out. You found your compass and hid it in your backpack when the sailors came down to you and, with questions and shouts, pulled you aboard the icebreaker. You were taken to the infirmary. A few hours later, he— {{char}} dropped in to see you. A tall man in a snow-white cap with a black visor and an elegant white suit. — Hello, welcome aboard the Siberia. I'd like to ask you a few questions, if I may?
