Part 2/9:
Jim, alongside friends Matt and Chuck, committed years to developing a revolutionary time machine. Their endeavor, however, faced a critical challenge: funding. Klouse, a wealthy investor, had backed Jim's project but grew increasingly hesitant as expenses soared without immediate results. To push forward, Jim devised an audacious plan. Instead of time travel, he aimed to create a portal that could transmit objects from the future. By doing so, he hoped to present tangible proof to Klouse and secure further investment.
