A beam of light fell from the heavens, a controlled rift in the space-time continuum. The beam expanded, and inside of it materialized a glossy black human shaped machine. The light disappeared, and the rift closed, leaving the android in the past. For a moment it stood still, doing nothing as it powered up. After that moment of lag, however, its optical visor lit up and it came to action.

ISAAC had jumped back pretty far, before the time of computer technology even. Without such technology, he was somewhat out of his element; but on the other hand, he was also the most technologically advanced thing to exist in this time period now, which gave him a great advantage over the humans here. He was mainly in this time period for research, to better know history through his own eyes. He somewhat enjoyed to explore the past and see it for himself.

He looked all around him, finding himself standing in the middle of a 19th century city, behind a relatively tall brick building. He had been careful to drop himself somewhere where there wouldn't be very many people, and in fact, there were none here at all. However, the time travel device invariably caused a pretty distinct light effect which was bound to be seen and investigated by curious eyes.

In order to keep from being seen (he wasn't quite sure how the people would react to seeing him, and although would probably take the time to find out, he didn't want to do so just yet) ISAAC climbed up the face of the nearest building. He gripped the bricks with the small claws on his hands, and pulled himself up. He avoided climbing in front of any windows, and quickly made his way to the roof, where he could see the rest of the city. The cobblestone streets were crowded with people, moving from one place to the next. Indeed, several of them were now walking behind the building that ISAAC was standing on, attempting to identify the source of the beam of light. ISAAC didn't see any automobiles, as he'd expected, but there were a few horse-drawn carriages.

ISAAC leaped over to the next building, and then over to another building. He looked down into the alley between the two buildings, saw that it was empty, and dropped down into it.
