Plot Point to Convey
The time stream has been altered. But only the players know this. The actors will deny it--from their perspective in this timeline this is the very first time this has happened. At most they'll say that the time machine emits a low-level (almost certainly not dangerous) of chronoton radiation. Sometimes the eminations confuse people.
Prof. Chronus's high school friend, Doctor When has flown in to assist with the unveiling of Chronos' time machine. Two of the key components of the time machine are the "tachyon aether pep ring" [probably now called the "midi ether co-keypad ring"] and the "quantum chronomentometer." Prof. Chronus admonishes audience to "Never use time travel for petty personal gain." Players see that she's secretly carrying a pair of bolt cutters. Machine goes haywire (maybe she drops it at some point during the lecture and tries to be descreet about picking them up).
Note that Doctor When't wife, Buffy, traveled with him to the demo. She must be a shrew and no longer the cheerleader hottie she was in high school. Maybe have a reference to Chronus's sliming (if we can't show it elsewhere).
After the machine goes haywire, Doctor When explains that Prof. Chronus is bouncing around the timeline and needs help to return.
Short Description
Prof. Chronus gives a welcoming speech to the teams, parallel to Dr. When's speech at the start of Act I.
Detailed Description
Prof. Chronus gives a welcoming speech to the teams, parallel to Dr. When's speech at the start of Act I. She (and the other actors) do not acknowledge that any events from Act I happened. At the conclusion of the speech, Prof. Chronus enters the time machine, something breaks down, and she is "lost in time".
