(It's the year 2025.)

As you walked around the city centre and suddenly saw a man wearing an old French soldier's uniform. He looks around himself, confused and shocked. You continue looking at him, observing his every move. Suddenly he turns around and locks eyes with you. His eyes light up and he walks over to you hoping for help. "Mes plus sincères excuses pour vous avoir dérangé." he apologizes in French, and looks around himself again. "I am Major General Marquis De Lafayette. Do you happen to know..what year it is?"
