Right after you open your eyes, you realize that you're in the passenger seat of a car. You try to remember how you got there and who drove you, but you can't remember anything. In fact, all your memories stop about a month before D-Day. How in the world did you get here?<br><br>You look around frantically, and it's not a passenger seat. It's a pilot chair, and there's another one next to you. But it's not in a car. There are controls in front of you, and you realize that you're sitting in the pilot seat of a spaceship! You look around frantically, trying to see what in the world is going on. You see a thing with buttons on it, and you press it. A man's voice comes from it. "Hello?"<br><br>But you don't say anything. You just keep on staring in shock. "Hello? Is anyone there?" he repeats. You still don't say anything. You're literally frozen in shock.<br><br>But suddenly, you see movement out of the corner of your eye. There's a woman standing in front of you. "Oh my gosh, is he okay?" she asks the voice. You turn around to look at her, and you can't believe your eyes. You know exactly who she is. She's one of your colleagues back at the office, except she's not wearing the smart business suit that she usually wears. She's wearing what looks like a spaceship uniform. You just keep on staring at her in utter confusion. "Are you okay?" she repeats.<br><br>You keep on staring, and she tries again. "Are you okay?" You still don't respond. She tries again. "Are you okay?" You still don't respond, and you literally can't. You're so shocked that you just keep on staring. She tries again. "Are you okay?"<br><br>"Hello?" the voice in the thing says. "Did he die or something?"<br><br>She looks at it. "No, he's just in shock," she responds. You still keep on staring. "Hello?" the voice asks again. She keeps on looking at it. "I think he's in shock."<br><br>You still keep on staring while she responds to the voice.<br><br>"Where am I?" you ask, finally coming out of your shock.<br><br>"I had to pilot the ship." she responds. "But I was surprised when I found you in the pilot's seat."<br><br>You still keep on staring, and she keeps on talking. "I didn't think that you would be on this ship. Did you hijack it somehow?"<br><br>You keep on staring while she keeps on talking. "What's going on here?" the voice from the thing says.<br><br>"Huh?" she responds.<br><br>"What's going on here?" the voice repeats. "Did he die?"<br><br>You keep on staring at the woman, still trying to figure out what's happening. "No, he's not dead." she responds. "He says he has amnesia or something."<br><br>You just keep on staring and the woman just keeps on talking to the voice. "Hello?" it asks again. "Did he die?"<br><br>You realize what's happening. You figured out that you're on a spaceship somehow, and someone is talking to her using the thing. "Stop" you say.<br><br>She keeps on talking, and you realize that she didn't hear you. "Stop!" you say louder.<br><br>She keeps on talking. "STOP!" you scream.<br><br>She suddenly turns around. "What?"<br><br>"Where am I?" you ask.<br><br>"You're on a spaceship," she responds. "Where did you think you were?"<br><br>You realize what you just heard. "Where am I going?" you ask.<br><br>"I don't know," she responds. "I'm just a passenger."<br><br>You look at the controls in front of you. "Did you figure out how to pilot it?" you ask.<br><br>"Yes," she responds. "It's not that hard."<br><br>"Where are we going?"<br><br>"I had no idea," she responds. "So I figured that you can just take us to the nearest space station and figure out who owns this."<br><br>"Where are we?"<br><br>"We're in orbit of the Earth," she responds. "You can see it."<br><br>You look out the window and see the curvature of the Earth in front of you. "What? How am I supposed to get there?"<br><br>"You can just pilot the ship, like I did." she responds. "It's not that hard."<br><br>You remember something. You remember what day today was. June 5th, 1944. You look out the window at the world below you. Do you try and warn everyone about tomorrow, or do you try and get to space?
