The year was 2001. In a small hotel room in New York, a man was sleeping in the bed in the room. He had red hair and a piercing set of blue eyes. He was wearing a black AC/DC shirt and blue jeans. He rolled over in his sleep and continued to sleep peacefully. If one looked around the room, they'd see school books littered across the coffee table and a backpack hanging from a hook by the door of the hotel room. The papers were about the theory of time travel and the fake claims that have been reported over the years. Looking at a freshly laid down paper, you could see the name James Rogers printed on the top. At that moment, the phone rang and the man awoke. Grabbing the phone he heard the words, "James, it's me Professor Cambridge, get to my facility or else I fail you." James then nodded at this remark and sat up. Quickly, he packed up his room and sprinted out of the hotel onto the busy street. After walking about 10 blocks, he entered a building called the "Ice sculptors." Though this building looked like a place where ice statutes were made, it actually housed a secret project that very few people knew about including James and today was the day he'd find out about this project from his friend and professor Dr. Cambridge.

Meanwhile, some kids -- orphans -- were getting up to mischief nearby. Two boys and a girl stood in a circle, wondering what activity they'd end up doing next. First, the blonde boy spoke. "Hey Izzy, see this place? Dare ya to sneak in and break a sculpture." There was another dark-skinned boy that he was talking to. "Pft. Really, Brad? Easy challenge. I'll break two sculptures!" Now it was the girl's turn to speak. "Izzy, I'm not sure you should do that. Breaking stuff is bad." "Claire, don't be such a grown-up. We're just having fun and stuff." With that, Izzy, the dark-skinned boy, stood up straight and searched for an entrance into the building. Well, he eventually did get in, and began sniffing around. Coming in through a back entrance, everything was dark and dusty. Izzy figured he was in some kind of back room storage area. "It's stuffy in here."

After he arrived at the plant, James walked through the main service door. Through the main door was a consultant room. There was a small table in the center of the room with one chair at each side of the table. There were books of ice designs laying on the table and there was even one sculpture of a dragon sitting behind a display case. There was a door with a frozen over window to make it look like this was an ice sculpture shop. James walked over to the door and knocked seven times, the traditional knock he used when he visited with Cambridge. After a few seconds of waiting a short, plump man walked out. The man, who was about six inches shorter than James, had on round wireframe glasses and was starting to get some gray in his brown hair. The man was wearing the traditional ivory white labcoat, buttoned all the way up, and was carrying a clipboard. This man also had on some traditional loafers that though they made him look slightly taller, didn't really add to his height. Coughing slightly, he set down his clipboard on a nearby counter. "James my good friend it's been so long" the man said speaking with a heavy British accent from the Liverpool area. James then wrapped the man in an embrace. "Yes, it's been far too long. How've you been Professor Cambridge" James said after a moment. "I've been wonderful" he said. "Come, come we mustn't dally, I want to show you the future of everything. What I'm going to show you today will change history and I want you to test it for the world. Come on." James then followed Cambridge through the door to discover an elevator. Once they were in, the door closed and they rode down in silence to whatever it was they were going to see.

Izzy fumbled around the dark, dusty room, careful not to trip over or break anything. A streak of light shone through to his left, and when he looked in that direction, he would see a double door. Still mindful of the darkness, the young child made his way to it. He peered through the door instead of bursting through it, and caught a glimpse of two figures, and a table. And and ice dragon sculpture. "Score!" Izzy quietly entered through the double doors, making his way closer to the ice dragon yet staying out of James and the Professor's sight. Not seeing anything nearby that would shatter ice, he decided to search for a block of some sort. Surely there was one lying around, in an old place like this. He managed to get within earshot of the two just as Cambridge mentioned something that would "change history". Forget about the ice sculpture -- Izzy had to see what this was! So he tailed the duo until they stopped at an elevator. "Hm. Going down I guess!" He would be on the next one down as soon as it returned to the proper floor. Izzy was an orphan, but no stranger to the outside world thanks to his adventurous nature. Whatever this world-changing invention was, he was going to see it.
