Daryl prepared for the first-ever time jump by packing an RRTHG—resuscitation, replication, teleportation, holographic projecting, anti-gravitational—survival kit.

"Where to Daryl?" asked Bob, his partner.

"Good question! Not sure. Probably some time within humanity's existence."

Stolen novel; please report.

"The dawn of humankind?"

"No, they wouldn't answer my question."

"Which is?"

"Why us?"

"Why us? Oh!" Bob chuckled. "I forgot you're a mystic. So you want to meet him?"

Daryl nodded.

"Well, a word of warning …"

"Yes?" Daryl raised an eyebrow.

"Be sure people don't mistake you for him with that survival kit you packed."

"Oh, god!" Daryl gasped.

"Exactly!"—Bob laughed.
