The year was 1985, and the scientific community was buzzing with excitement as the Evenbir Foundation announced the successful creation of a functioning time machine. The team of scientists and researchers had spent years pouring their hearts and souls into the project, and now, finally, their hard work had paid off. The time machine was a marvel of modern technology, a sleek and futuristic-looking device that promised to unlock the mysteries of time travel.

As the team gathered around the time machine, they felt a sense of anticipation and wonder. It was a momentous occasion, one that would change the course of history forever. With a flick of a switch, the time machine hummed to life, its sleek metal exterior glowing with a soft, ethereal light. The team members donned their goggles and protective gear, ready to embark on a journey through time.

At first, there was nothing but blank space, a void of nothingness that seemed to stretch on into infinity. The team members felt a sense of disorientation as the world around them blurred and swirled. Suddenly, with a bright flash of light, they found themselves standing in a strange and unfamiliar room.

The room was dimly lit, with buzzing lights overhead and a musty smell that filled the air. The floor was covered in a thick, damp carpet that squelched underfoot. The team members looked around in confusion, wondering where they were and how they had arrived in this strange place.

Determined to find out more, the team decided to explore the room further. They donned their Mk4 Hazmat suits, a necessary precaution in case of any unknown dangers. As they ventured deeper into the room, they realized that it seemed to be a never-ending loop, a strange and disorienting space that seemed to defy all logic.

But as they delved further into the room, disaster struck. One by one, the team members began to disappear, vanishing into thin air without a trace. Panic set in as the remaining members struggled to make sense of what was happening. Where were their colleagues going?
