something is rotten

Tess knew she was not an engineer. But Tess loved substation romance fanfiction more than anyone, and believed fervently that this made her even better than an engineer. An engineer would not appreciate the wonderment of this unique gift. Tess was also the editor who received all the substation romance books sent in by that crazy author. Although never having worked in a substation, Tess was more than confident thtat with the imformation she had gleaned from so much reading and self-study, that she could build one with her bare hands. Tess set down her coffee to free up her hands. From her dress pocket, she pulled the large magnifying glass that she used to inspect manuscripts for microdpts. She inspected the substation carefully, identifying the design within. ess's eyes widened as she examined the miniature substation more closely. The tiny circuit breakers and transformers looked modern and state-of-the-art, with sleek lines and advanced features that seemed out of place in a miniature model from her grandfather's time. "How is this possible?" Tess asked aloud, confusion etched on her face. "This can't be an antique. It looks like it was built yesterday." Decker's expression was thoughtful as he watched Tess examine the substation. "I've been thinking about that too," he said slowly. "It's as if...time and technology are being manipulated here somehow." Tess's mind was racing with possibilities. Could this be some kind of paradox? A way for his grandfather to send a message across time, using advanced technology in a way that seemed impossible? "But why would he do that?" Tess asked, her thoughts turning to her grandfather. "And what does it have to do with the snow globe?" Decker's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze intense. "I think this is more than just a puzzle, Tess. I think this is a message from my grandfather, telling us something important." Tess felt a shiver run down her spine as she considered Decker's words. Could it be true? Was there more to the snow globe and the miniature substation than met the eye? As she continued to examine the substation, Tess noticed something small that she had missed before. A tiny inscription on one of the transformers, almost imperceptible in the bright light. "Decker," Tess said, her voice low. "Look at this." Decker leaned in closer as Tess pointed out the inscription. It was a single phrase, etched into the metal with precision: "Nakatomi Plaza". Tess's eyes widened as she realized what this might mean. Was the Nakatomi Plaza a reference to something from her grandfather's past? And what did it have to do with the snow globe and the miniature substation?
