Hello there! Welcome to our digital castle.

Welcome back! We're getting close to the end of the first season and approaching the first playoffs pretty soon here and we have another player made quest, the second one by @bashadow this season to be incorporated. His first was a word game that was wildly popular and now.. A time travel quest!
I have a feeling this one will be great too! :) I'll let bashadow take it over from here!

Time Travel Question

Time travel is a tricky subject, for the purpose of this contest here is how time travel works.

It is a one way trip.
No fears of landing in a tree or mountain.
From whatever time you land history is unwritten moving forward from that point in time, however past history is still alive and valid. If you time traveled back to the christian inquisition and suddenly appeared in the middle of a church, odds are you would be burned as a demon or witch. Likewise if you took a stack of newspapers and expect to get rich off of lottery numbers, not gonna happen because the future has been unwritten. While the yankees in your pre-time travel time may have won the world series they may not even be in the series or it may have been canceled. The future from where you jumped back to is unknowable.

If you choose to travel forward in time, then the past history is gone, you may think you know what happened in the year 2014, but that history is gone, no longer a part of the timeline you are on.
Because of the way this version of time travel works, there is no "You killed your grandfather so you were not born" paradox. Also there is no other you in the time you travel to.
Okay so that is how Time Travel works for this challenge.

Time Travel Contest
Pick a time, you should be as specific as possible. As in year, month and day.
Pick a place, once again be as specific as possible. If you just say Rome, the judges could just figure you landed in the middle of a gladiatorial arena during a match.
Pick 8 things you would take with you to the past or future, (these could be kits, tool box excetera).
Write a short paragraph, or a couple of sentences for each Item you chose and why.
Your can only take things that would fit in a four by four space on the floor around you.
They can be anything, living, inanimate, tools, books, electronics, all rules of physics still work at when you went.
Then bring it all together in a very short story of your initial arrival.

Judging:
This is where being specific comes in, Remember if they went back to the Spanish Inquisition you could assume that they landed in the middle of a church service. Did the items the person chose to take fit with the time selection and were they practical? Did they justify the use of their picked items in a valid and realistic manner in the short bring it together story. Did they take the history up to their selected time into account or the lack of history into account if they went forward? Did they make it all seem plausible?

How and what criteria a judge uses to vote is their choice, I just put out something to maybe help them.

How an entry might look:
The eight Items I would take:

1:My wife and her backpack
2:A medical book with the entire Foxfire series
3:A top of the line axe. (unbreakable handle)
4:A top of the line cutlery set, (Knives, forks, spoon, standard carving knife set included)
5:Professional emergency first aid/doctor kit. (Military footlocker type field hospital kit)
6:Fully outfitted 2 week 50 mile hike camping backpack
7:A set of professional grade wood cutting saws.
8:Fido.

Justifications

Ben was ready, he had gone over the list at least thirty times, Sara kept telling him it would have to do, That they just could not wait any longer. Ben and Sara had already decided on a when and where, Clarksville Tennessee, May 1st 230,000 years ago. The two fully packed backpacks for a long trek would help a lot having everything one would need for a one week outing in the woods.

The military hospital in a footlocker would come in handy in the event it was ever needed in the next five years, that unfortunately is the life/shelf expectancy of the medications. The axe and professional tools were going to be the biggest payoff, with them they will be able to build shelter and protection. And Fido, though she may be young for a Husky Hybrid mix, she would be more than a pet or a companion, she would be a help with keeping watch, and helping to hunt, maybe even finding a wild mate. With the foxfire series of book and the medical book, they felt they were well prepared to start a new life.

After doing a lot of research Ben thought that area central northern tennessee/kentucky border area would be a good place to start. Four seasons pretty much evenly spaced with out to drastic of a temperature change. Fertile ground, and water nearby, along with a few areas of cave systems. Valleys and pasture areas in the present, and according to what Ben could determine no significant changes in the past 230,000 years.

Short arrival story

As the haze of the time jump faded, Ben quickly did three hundred and sixty degree survey around, looking for any signs of danger. Then with a big smile on his face he turned to his wife and gave her a big hug and kiss, "we made it babe, we are here, we get to choose where and how we live from this moment forward it is us and survival." Fido started jumping up at both of them also wanting some attention.

"Okay big guy, where do you think we should build, this area here does not seem to bad, we are in a small glade, there are trees over there and I can hear water running, so all we need now is for you to get chopping with that new axe." Sara said with a silly happy smile, "and while you are doing that I'll get camp set up over by that fallen log." "Fido , you are with me, and stay out of trouble girl." Sara said as she ruffled Fido neck hairs gently.

Also not a sponsor, though @iexplore has taken a huge workload directly off of my shoulders and is now doing the "catch up" rounds, those should be posted on the @ifc page.. And I suggest giving him a follow and some support as well if you appreciate the work as he is doing an amazingly helpful and important job! Oh and he usually posts the catch up rounds on Sunday the day after I post mine on Saturday.

For this challenge.. If there's a tie.. We will do another round to see who wins.

The winner will be decided by whoever gets the most votes.
The only people who can vote in a qualifying sense are myself and the judges I've selected and we will vote by leaving a comment on the submission that we like the most and say something like.. "I vote for this one" and a reason why we voted would be good too, but is not mandatory.

You have until this challenges post payout ends to submit your post. Though we do accept late entries if you get it in before all the judges vote.

The challenge will finish after 7 days when the post ends and provides its payout cycle and unless there is a tie, the winner will gain the steem, the XP and have a point to go towards their long term win. (minus the 25% for curation)
