UnGames:Make it to Ketchikan/Finno-Korean Hyperwar
Suddenly, the mammoth drops unconscious and collapses, although moments later, it begins to levitate and its eyes reopen with a blinding glow. It seems as if the soul of a god had entered the creature. The beast, or possibly whatever has possessed it, now speaks:
"First of all, human, before thou gainest the ability to grasp the tactics and manner of such an ancient war, thou must a thing or two about time be taught. Time is not a linear path. The progress of matter through time is ever-so-slightly chaotic, non-linear and self-modifying. It is relatively rare for more than mere atoms to be sent back and forth through time, and these rarely travel more than a few Earth days into the past or the future. But on the occasion, much larger objects may be transported over much vaster periods of time, sometimes millennia."
"Have you ever encountered a rock or a lamppost almost certainly wasn't there yesterday, one that seemingly materialized out of nothing? That object could have easily experienced natural time travel. Have you ever had strong, sincere memories of an event that nobody else that you know remembers? Well, in that case, you may have experienced a time warp yourself."
"During the Finno-Korean Hyperwar, of which the Hwan Empire was one of the two major belligerents, it was common for soldiers to send mammoths and other wargoing beasts into deep space, thus corrupting time around such creatures via time dilation. This would make the mammoths far more likely to be warped by the random nature of space-time. It was believed that making mammoths aware of time's chaotic nature would cause them to become more agile, fearless creatures, although there was never scientific evidence to back up this notion. It did, however, make it far more likely for such beasts to be sent into the distant past or the far future, which seems to be the case for the mammoth whose body I have captured."
The mammoth then falls to the ground, regains consciousness, freaks out and runs off as fast as it can.
