➡️ Teleport to a time and place - Where is it and why.
He did one last walk around, he had to make sure all was set and ready to go, that nothing was left to chance.
It looked good, the Galenkapod was ready, batteries charged, solar charger set and packed, and the beer cooler was full. A last minute check on the pull-along faithful trailer and he was sure he was ready to go. He would have a place to sleep if there was no other shelter.
Things just were not looking good for the future, the world had gone into some sort of fanatical lock down because of a germ. People were scared, or angry. There did not seem to be any middle calming ground. So he decided it was time to see how it all turned out. If things worked right he could come back or stay. he would not know till he got to the future.
He sat in the cockpit feeling area of his galenkapod, mirrors retracted, trailer stabilizer bars engaged, no telling how rough it would get. Transdimensional drive engines set for minimum ten year hops. He looked over the console, everything was in the green. His thumb hovered over the ignition switch momentarily before pressing it.
The air shimmered around the galenkapod, he sat mesmerized by the flow of time, no real sensation of movement as it should have been, he was not going anywhere, time was traveling around him. A hill where there was none before, trees in the distance growing falling dying, and being reborn.
His timer said two thousand years, he turned the ignition to off, and felt a little bit of vertigo as he did so, outside time catching up with inside time. No bumps, no bruises, He had arrived into the future. Further ahead than he had planned. What would he find? Did mankind survive the madness, was it all a hoax? did something else happen?
He opened the door, the air smelled sweetly of salt water, this should not have been as he had started well away from the ocean in another time, same place, different time. Time to explore, he adjusted the trailer stabilizers to road travel, checked the cooler and grabbed a beer.
Southwest was the direction he needed to travel, but there seemed to be an issue with that, the compass was showing Southwest was not Southwest, poles must have moved. Still he knew which way was to town, three days and he would know if there was still a town.
Did mankind survive the virus? Three days and he would know if mankind not only survived it but all the other hazards of life on Earth. Earth was still here, so at least we did not blow it up in the last two thousand years.
He sipped his beer as he drove away from the hilltop.
I chose to go to the future, the plan was only for a 500 year jump, well things went a little bit awry. There was a remnant of a town, the ruins looked old, real old. He would have his search for what happened cut out for him, there was no sign of people.
Awesome response!!! Now we need a part two, to find out if we survived - and maybe learned our lesson?
!PIZZA and !ALIVE
$PIZZA@bashadow! I sent you a slice of on behalf of @wrestlingdesires.
Did you know PIZZA has a very active community Discord? (8/10)
Thank you, most story starts I do hardly ever get a part two, the brain just runs out of energy to soon for me.
You should try it :) they can be fun♥️
This is bloody awesome! Thanks for getting involved and having some fun.
2000 years huh? Hmm, well I'll be honest and say human kind won't last that long, but it's good to know that your expedition revealed that the Earth did!
I could think of worse things than moving about in a galenkapod checking out the future, beer in hand. No people around? Legit awesome. I hope only to obtain one of these galenkapod's and have the chance to get out and about as well!
Your little truck and trailer were the inspiration.
There were a lot of comments, I did not get through very many of them at all, but the moon and mars teleporting sounded like fun.
The cool thing about how some of the users respond to my topics is that they respond in so many different ways; some straight-up and others just let loose! I love it. So many knuckleheads out there and all welcome on my topics! 😁
Oh, my friend, you've done it. That is magnificent.
Were you around here when you started? The ocean might return in 2000 years so southwest wouldn't be an option no matter what the compass said. I'd be interested if there had been an actual polar swap of if it was just an oscillation. You will have to stick around a while to find out I guess.
He did try to find a safe spot to park, just in case of sea level rise. Inconclusive if there was a pole swap, or if Australia made a jump northward like India did a real long time ago, and twisted a little bit throwing the compass needle off.
I'd guess those two conditions would be hard to diagnose from 'on the ground'.
Awesome story! I do wonder what it'll be like 500 or 2000 years in the future, too. Hopefully the beer that he brought with him isn't going to be the last one!

Thank you but I rarely go into discord or other chat systems anymore.
This is on chain and not on Discord.
I will look the page and post over. I thought it was an invite to a discord group. Thank you for the clarification.
