The scene opens in a dimly lit, modern-day workshop, a chaotic yet organized space filled with soldering irons, circuit boards, and glowing LED strips snaking across workbenches. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and hot electronics. Wires hang from the ceiling like metallic vines, casting long, dancing shadows. In the center of the room stands a complex, custom-built electromagnetic device—a large copper coil wrapped around a polished chrome sphere, humming with latent energy. Blue and purple light pulses rhythmically from its core, reflecting in the apathetic sheen of scattered tools. The only other significant light source is a large monitor displaying fluctuating energy readings and complex schematics. The atmosphere is one of intense, solitary focus, a late-night breakthrough on the verge of happening. Dust motes dance in the beams of light, creating a sense of suspended time before the storm of discovery breaks.

The instant the button is pressed, the electromagnetic device roars to life. A blinding flash of pure white light erupts from the chrome sphere, engulfing the entire workshop and washing out all color. For a fraction of a second, every object is silhouetted against this intense incandescence. Arcs of brilliant blue electricity, thick as ropes, snake violently from the central coil, striking nearby metal surfaces with sharp, deafening cracks. The air crackles with an almost tangible static charge, raising the hairs on Alex’s arms. The world outside the light seems to warp and distort, the edges of the room bending inwards as if being sucked into a vortex. The camera, still in Alex’s hand, flickers and glitches, its sensor overwhelmed by the sheer energy output. The raw, untamed power is both terrifying and beautiful, a man-made star born in a garage.

The world dissolves into a vortex of fractured light and color. Alex is in a non-space, a tunnel of shimmering, temporal energy. Images from different eras flash past him in a chaotic, non-linear stream: horse-drawn carriages morph into flying cars, gas lamps flicker alongside neon signs, pyramids rise and fall in the blink of an eye. The sensation is one of extreme velocity and vertigo. His body feels weightless, stretched and compressed simultaneously by unseen gravitational forces. The sound is a cacophony of distorted history—fragments of speeches, snippets of music from different decades, the roar of ancient battles and the hum of future cities, all blended into a disorienting roar. He tumbles uncontrollably through this temporal storm, his modern clothes a stark contrast to the fleeting historical vignettes that surround him.

• Appearance: A man in his mid-20s, with a lean, athletic build, approximately 5’11”. He has slightly messy dark brown hair, expressive brown eyes that gleam with curiosity, and a clean-shaven face with sharp, intelligent features. His skin has a light tan.
• Clothing: A modern, dark grey zip-up hoodie over a plain black t-shirt, paired with slim-fit dark blue jeans and stylish white sneakers. On his wrist is a sleek black smartwatch with a glowing face.
• Voice: A clear, energetic tenor voice. Speaks in a modern, urban Hindi accent, often with a slightly rushed, excited cadence. His tone is dramatic and highly expressive, typical of a vlogger.
• Personality: Impulsive, tech-savvy, and endlessly curious. He has a vlogger’s instinct to document everything, often acting before thinking. His expressions are wide-eyed and his movements are quick and deliberate.
• Name: Nikola Tesla
• Appearance: A man in his late 30s, tall (around 6’2″) and remarkably slender. He has dark, neatly parted hair, a sharp, aquiline nose, and a well-groomed mustache. His eyes are a striking, pale blue, possessing an intense, penetrating gaze. His facial structure is gaunt and aristocratic.
• Clothing: An impeccably tailored, formal black wool frock coat, a matching waistcoat, a crisp white high-collared shirt, and a dark cravat. His trousers are dark and still perfectly creased, and he wears polished black leather shoes.
• Voice: A deep, resonant baritone. His Hindi is formal, precise, and articulate, with a slightly archaic, scholarly quality (‘shuddh’ Hindi). His tone is authoritative, calm, and carries an immense weight of intellect.
• Personality: A brilliant, intense, and enigmatic genius. He is deeply focused and possesses an aura of supreme confidence and intellectual superiority. His movements are deliberate and economical, and his expressions are subtle yet powerful.

The power of the experiment reaches its absolute peak. In a final, awe-inspiring display, Tesla raises his hand. As if on command, a brilliant, contained ball of lightning—a globe of pure, stable plasma—forms in his open palm. It hovers there, whirring and crackling, illuminating his face with an intense, divine light. He holds the star in his hand with no gloves, no protection, just his understanding of the forces at play. Alex’s camera zooms in, capturing the impossible image in stunning high-definition. The reflection of the plasma ball dances in Alex’s wide, unbelieving eyes. This is a moment that defies all known laws of physics as Alex understands them, a miracle of science that history never recorded. He is witnessing the inventor at his most powerful, a true master of the universe.

Dialogues:

• Alex: (Whispering, breathless) विश्वास नहीं होता… इसने… इसने बिजली को पकड़ लिया है।

Tone: Miraculous / Transcendent

Background music: The frantic music cuts away, leaving only a soaring, ethereal choral voice and a high, sustained string note. It’s a moment of pure, religious awe.

Camera directions: An extreme close-up on the ball of plasma in Tesla’s hand, with every detail of the writhing energy visible. The camera then pushes in slowly past the plasma to focus on Tesla’s triumphant, yet serene, face. Cut to an extreme close-up of Alex’s eye, with the plasma ball reflected in his pupil.

Actions: Tesla holds his hand perfectly steady, a faint smile of ultimate satisfaction on his lips. He looks down at the energy in his palm as if it were a living creature. Alex is frozen in place, his hands shaking so much the camera footage is slightly unstable, capturing the raw emotion of the moment.

Sound design: All the loud cracks and booms fade into the background, replaced by the high-frequency, musical hum and crackle of the ball lightning. A sound that is both beautiful and intensely powerful. Alex’s soft, breathless whisper is the only other sound.

As the experiment winds down, Tesla gently closes his hand, and the ball of lightning dissipates into harmless sparks. The colossal coil powers down, its roar fading back into a quiet hum. A profound silence falls over the laboratory, broken only by the gentle crackle of cooling metal. Tesla turns his full attention back to Alex for the first time since the experiment began. His intense gaze is no longer suspicious, but filled with a deep, piercing curiosity. He looks directly at the camera Alex is holding, his brilliant mind clearly analyzing the strange, silent device. He sees the glowing screen on the back, displaying his own image in perfect, crisp color. A flicker of understanding, of recognition of a technology far beyond his own time, crosses his face. It’s a silent, profound moment of connection between two geniuses from different centuries.

Dialogues:

• Nikola Tesla: वह यंत्र… वह भविष्य दिखाता है, है ना?

Tone: Introspective / Profound

Background music: A slow, contemplative piano melody begins to play. It’s tinged with a hint of melancholy and wonder. The mood is quiet and thoughtful.

Camera directions: A slow, deliberate dolly-in, moving from a two-shot of the characters to a close-up on Tesla’s face as he studies the camera. The focus shifts from his eyes to the camera lens, then to the glowing screen on the back. The lighting is soft and atmospheric, coming from the residual glow of the equipment.

Actions: Tesla takes a slow step towards Alex, his eyes locked on the camera. Alex, no longer afraid, lowers the camera slightly, meeting the inventor’s gaze. It’s a moment of mutual respect and unspoken understanding.

Sound design: The overwhelming noise is replaced by a deep silence. The faint, metallic PING and TING sounds of the giant coil cooling down. The soft hum of the camera’s internal electronics is faintly audible.

Suddenly, the air around Alex begins to shimmer again, just as it did before he arrived. A faint, ethereal blue light starts to envelop him, and the edges of his body become translucent. The temporal pull is starting again, calling him back to his own time. His smartwatch screen flashes erratically. A look of panic crosses his face; he’s not ready to leave. He has a million questions. He looks at Tesla, a desperate, pleading expression in his eyes. Tesla sees the phenomenon and understands immediately. He doesn’t look surprised, but rather… resigned, as if he always knew this visitor was a fleeting ghost from the future. He gives Alex a final, solemn nod—a gesture of acknowledgment, of farewell, and perhaps of envy.

Dialogues:

• Alex: नहीं! रुको! मुझे और जानना है!
• Nikola Tesla: जाओ। और यह सुनिश्चित करना कि वे याद रखें।

Tone: Urgent / Melancholy

Background music: The thoughtful piano is joined by rising, urgent strings. A sound of a reversed cymbal or a temporal whoosh begins to build, signaling the departure.

Camera directions: The camera is focused on Alex as the visual effect of his dematerialization begins. The shot is handheld and shaky, reflecting his panic. A quick cut to Tesla’s face, a mask of calm acceptance. The use of lens flares and light distortions emphasizes the sci-fi nature of the event.

Actions: Alex reaches a hand out towards Tesla, as if to stay, but his fingers start to become transparent. He looks down at his own fading body in horror. Tesla simply watches, unmoving, his hands clasped behind his back.

Sound design: A high-pitched, shimmering sound effect that grows in volume. The sound of distorted, reversed audio, as if time is being rewound. The frantic beeping of Alex’s smartwatch.

With a final, silent flash of light, Alex is gone. The laboratory is once again silent and still, exactly as it was before he arrived, with one impossible exception. On the dusty wooden floor where Alex was last standing lies his futuristic camera. It must have slipped from his grasp in the final moments. Its screen is still on, glowing with a crisp, digital luminescence that is completely alien to this era. The screen displays the last thing it recorded: a perfect, crystal-clear, slow-motion shot of Tesla holding the ball of lightning in his hand. Tesla slowly walks over to the strange object. He kneels down, his face a mixture of wonder, sorrow, and profound understanding. He reaches out a hesitant finger, not to the device itself, but to his own image on the screen, a ghost of his triumph captured by a ghost from the future.

Tone: Wistful / Mysterious

Background music: A single, soft, and melancholic piano melody plays over the ambient silence. It’s the main theme of the story, full of wonder and a sense of lost history. The music fades out slowly, leaving a lasting impression.

Camera directions: The scene starts with a wide shot of the now-empty lab. The camera slowly pushes in and tilts down, focusing on the single point of anachronistic light on the floor—the camera. The final shot is an extreme close-up of the camera’s screen, with Tesla’s finger entering the frame to touch it. The depth of field is very shallow, making the background a soft, nostalgic blur.

Actions: Tesla approaches the camera cautiously. He kneels, a difficult gesture for such a proud man. He examines the device for a long moment before gently, almost reverently, reaching out to touch the screen.

Sound design: Complete silence, except for the soft piano score. The faint, almost inaudible electronic hum from the camera is the only other sound. The scene ends on this quiet, poignant note.
