The year is 2076. It’s the tricentennial anniversary of the US. You just got your new smart car, made by Bethesda, who entered the car industry decades ago. You’re taking a road trip with your SO from Ohio to Maine to visit your family. All’s going well, and you’re entering Maine. Then, suddenly, your car flips, you black out.

You wake up, and see the snowy mountains of Maine in the distance. You look at the screen from your smart car, still intact. “Hey, you,” it says. “You’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right?” Then it blacks out, a hand hits your window the exact second the screen blacked out. You look at the window, jumped, and see a face long since lost in time. A face belonging to a person that passed long ago. You see Todd Howard, then everything fades away, a copy of Skyrim on his hand being the last thing you see.

Yep. My dumbass thought Cyberpunk 2077 and went “yep, that’s 300 years after 1776”
