Step 1: Locate the Wheel
Find the wheel in its current iteration. This may involve searching ancient civilizations, visiting distant planets, or scouring the dusty recesses of a local thrift store.
When you've located the wheel, take note of its current design and functionality. Is it still a simple wheel? Has it evolved into a hub-and-spoke system? The answers to these questions will be crucial in your journey.
As you examine the wheel, be aware of any local time-traveling authorities or creatures that may be watching your every move.
