When I was small, I believed my granduncles' old tub was a time machine. This was partially their fault; sometimes, after I exited, they would dress up as historical figures and have high tea with me and then insist I take another dip to clean off my face... And lo, I would be back to the present, with my granduncles wondering where I'd been.
Turns out it's the transport pod to their spaceship and suddenly my gills made sense.
