Detective Peter Pux had always been fascinated by the concept of time travel. As a child, he had read countless science fiction novels and watched every movie and TV show that featured time travel. He had always dreamed of building a time machine of his own, and now, as an adult and a seasoned detective, he finally had the resources and knowledge to make that dream a reality.

The first step in building a time machine was research. Pux spent months poring over scientific journals and books, studying the theories of time travel and trying to understand the complex physics behind it. He consulted with some of the brightest minds in the field, including physicists and mathematicians, who helped him to refine his understanding of the science behind time travel.

With a solid grasp of the fundamentals, Pux began to design his time machine. He decided to use a wormhole as the basis for his machine, as it offered the most promising method for traveling through time. He spent months working on the design, making sure that every detail was perfect. He consulted with engineers and technicians to ensure that the machine would be safe and reliable.

Finally, after years of work, Pux's time machine was ready. He climbed into the cockpit and set the coordinates for a time in the future, where he hoped to meet a Time Lord. He flipped the switch, and the machine whirred to life. Pux felt a strange sensation in his stomach as the machine began to travel through time.

As the machine emerged from the wormhole, Pux found himself in a strange, unfamiliar place. He stepped out of the machine and looked around, trying to make sense of the strange surroundings. Suddenly, he heard a voice.

"Welcome, Detective Pux," said the voice. "I am the Time Lord."

Pux turned around to see an alien standing in front of him. The Time Lord was tall and slender, with long, pointed ears and deep-set eyes. Pux stared in awe, unable to believe that he was actually standing in front of an alien from another time.

"I have been expecting you," the Time Lord said. "I have been watching your progress, and I believe that you have much to teach us about the nature of time."

Over the next few days, Pux had many conversations with the Time Lord, learning everything he could about time travel and the nature of time itself. The Time Lord showed him many wonders of the universe and Pux returned to his own time, a changed man. He was now able to enjoy the present and look forward to the future with a new perspective. He had not only fulfilled his dream, but he had also been able to learn something new and exciting. Pux knew that this experience would stay with him for the rest of his life and he decided to keep the time machine a secret from the world, using it for his own personal explorations and adventures.
