Time Traveller
Carefully, you enter the values into the time machine's internal computer, double-checking the dials and swtiches are in the right positions and that you are securely strapped in. Satisfied, you activate the machine and hold on as your stomach does acrobatics. The device lurches and spins as it bypasses the probability matrix and slips along the eternity pathways.
Eventually, the machine lands with a bone-jarring thump and your stomach lands a few seconda after it. Taking a moment to get your breath, you throw open the door and step outside and immediately come to a shocked halt.
Instead of the lab's clinically-white test chamber, you are standing in the lab's canteen, and everyone who was eating their lunch or drinking coffee is now staring at you in stunned disbelief. Obviously, something you did back in time altered the position of the test chamber and the canteen. Luckily, nothing else seems to have been seriously changed.
The crowd stares at you for a few moments, mouths open, and then one person begins to clap, and suddenly everyone is clapping and cheering. You are the first human being to ever travel through time.
You are a hero.
