Personal timeline: 25th year, 281st day
Funding, shelter, and range. These first of all.
Some carefully planned investments in the recent past should do for the first. Must be careful not to use any money that has not yet been minted.
The second... a warehouse or two, perhaps. I must find a base of operations that remains unchanged and unattended for as long as possible.
The third is vital. My Machine can travel through time yet has no provision for moving through the lesser three dimensions. I cannot remain confined to London. It might be possible to unfix the Machine's field from the mass of Earth's gravity, but at this stage I lack any means to direct its course... such an attempt would no doubt leave me asphyxiating in the void of space.
Conventional means will suffice for now. I shall purchase one of Daimler's motorcars and transfer the vital components of the Machine into its chassis. This will allow three-dimensional transit and disguise my creation in one stroke.
