More of a Zor than You
In this scenario, you wake on an old abandoned chair in a small cops of trees in an area of old fashioned style farmland. You are wearing a late 19th century style suit with a bowler hat and a black backpack with sixteen MREs, a canteen, a Zippo, a compass, a pair of binoculars, a bowie knife, a pair of galoshes and an extra suit folded up nice and neat. But things are weird beyond that. In front of you is a dirt road with a wooden sign saying that Harrisburg is three miles west on which an abandoned horse drawn wagon with abandoned luggage and a broken wheel that has been recently abandoned. There is also a strange red plant with cactus like fronts growing up sides of trees. You also hear indistinct yelling and see a trio of men running across the field. They are in the uniform of US Marines and are armed with old fashioned looking rifles and are yelling at each other and shooting. What they are shooting at is this...
A thirty meter tall Tripod striding over the landscape which takes notice of the marines and casually responds to by bringing a camera like device to bear which projects a Heat Ray on them, causing all three men to quickly be engulfed in fire and their rifles to explode. Soon enough they're dead and the Fighting Machine continues to stride over the landscape along it's course, the pests that troubled it effectively dealt with. As it marches away from you it exalts with a loud mechanical cry of "Ulla!"
Afterwards you see on the chair two things: a newspaper and a note.
The Newspaper is The Patriot and is marked at being from the 15th of August, 1898. It's headline speaks of several Cylinders which have landed near Altoona Pennsylvania as well as Somerset and Huntingdon and are believed to be from Mars, massacres which happened nearby these areas. Army forces which were incinerated attempting to repulse the invaders, or wiped out a deadly gaesous weapon. But most importantly it says that the invaders were marching on Washington DC. It advises anyone who sees these machines to run or flee and to seek US Government assistance.
The second is a card. It reads as follows...
