5.2 billion years ago

there was a gathering of dinosaurs. gallimimus. they were huddled around a half built machine, placing parts here and there, chattering indistinctly as they go. and then-- the machine stood up. it looked vaguely humanoid.

TRANSLATION FROM THE GALLIMIMUS LANGUAGE---
"the Sartorius Bot 300 Is Almost Completed." one of them exclaimed.
"We Shall Send Him too The FUture to befriend and give us a Transmission On What Life Is Like For Dinosaurs In The Future."
hint: they don't know that they go extinct.
but one of the dinosaurs was fake. a robot. a shapeshifter. as the other gallimimus gathered round and launched the machine to the future, the robot shapeshifter broke away from the group. and hid in some bushes behind a rock.

the robot turned into a human form of jacob sartorius. and his robot stomach opened and out hopped me. Giada.
"it's ok, hon, keep munching. everything will be ok." sartorius said.
"thanks for the lift," I say.

we had just fled from the military, cornered against a tree. but Jacob saved us. he opened his stomach compartment used for storing food crums and I climbed in. I had no idea that he was a time machine send from the past by dinosaurs as a scout.

as we discussed the plan to escape back to our time (Jacob didn't have enough fuel to get us back so we have to find prehistoric eucalyptus koala food to feed to my baby sartorius.
a large dinosaur sniffed us, and roared, scattering the gallimimus gathering, and me and Jacob. it chased us through these scary woods THt looked similar to the woods. our feet made sounds on the leaves as we ran: [munch m unch CRUNCH!]
the spinosaurus that was chasing us was gaining speed. it opened it mouth.
and tried to swallow us.
