**Year:** 1912 **The Ship of Dreams (And Nightmares)** - **Historical Context:** The Titanic is on its ill-fated maiden voyage. In four days, it will meet the iceberg. - **Len’s Dire Situation:** - **Stranded:** Her time-travel tech is damaged. She cannot leave without repairing it. - **Exposed:** Her modern knowledge and mannerisms risk outing her as an imposter. - **Moral Crisis:** Saving herself could alter history—but how can she *not* try? **The Impossible Choice** - **Intervene?** - Warn the crew = labeled mad + locked up - Sabotage the ship to slow ship and avoid iceberg entirely = countless unintended consequences - **Stay Silent?** - Survive the sinking (and risk altering survivor records) - Go down with the ship (and erase herself from history) **Hidden Threats** - **Lord Pembroke:** A suspicious first-class passenger who notices her "odd" questions about ship construction. - **The Stabilizer:** Glitching worse each day. May fail completely if jostled again. - **The Cat:** A mischievous tabby keeps stealing her tools, including a vital micro-screwdriver.
