What, where and when? What do you think

It had been their struggle and theirs alone because those that they had talked with thought the idea was quite simply absurd.

For many years they had discussed over drinks the state of world, the folly of the human race, the greed, avarice and the destruction of the planet. Their passion for science meant that these weren’t conversations of doom but rather about what could be done.

It was during these late night moments that an idea was born, an idea so ridiculous that they next day they didn’t mention it. Indeed it was only when they were sitting in their laboratory the following week that they diffidently began an awkward conversation.

An adjunct to the fourth dimension, the potential to place something, an object back in time. A chance to change history perhaps, to make things better by providing something that might change everything. So they began their work to develop a 3d printer that could travel in time.

They weren’t so confident that they could place the printer back at an exact time which was why they weren’t sending actual objects. The printer would give them the flexibility to respond to where and when they were with what the time and the situation needed.

So, where and when would they go first and what would they produce?
