"And here, Miss Brown, is my latest invention: Professor Wong's very own Time Machine. It might look a little cheesy like this but I couldn't find a DeLorean on the market and I had to install these bright lights to alert the locals upon arrival; the last thing you want to do is spook them. Under the hood is a temporal field capacitor powered by a little radioactive cell. Inside here is the dashboard where one enters the time and location of their destinations. Because of the small screen size, I devised a system to enter them in a compressed format. Here are the ones I programmed:
