My true love got us trapped here with my own time machine.
Not really her fault - or I hoped, anyway.
You see, she's brilliant, powerful - and a shapeshifting cat who rules Ancient Egypt.

She brought me here with my own machine. And, then it disappeared. Stolen. And, now we're marooned. But, that doesn't matter....

My only problem was finding them. And, if they weren't still alive, they had relatives.
