Tesla's move to America

After working at Strassburg for a year Tesla finally decided he wanted to immigrate to America. Though as a man hard-pressed for cash he had barely enough to scrape by where he was now. In knowing this when he told his employers at Strassburg he wanted out they at first offereed him no money in exchange for the incredible contributions he made to the company. Tesla having barely enough money to feed himself was in no financial state to immigrate anywhere. his employers now realizing they needed to pay him some compensation for all the work he did offered him a meager $1000. Tesla as a man hard-pressed for money took it immediately even though he really should have gotten close to 25 times the amount of money he actually recieved. After paying Tesla off one of the administrators at his old company suggested Tesla make the move to America and work with Thomas Edison. Tesla a week later decided to do just that and bought himslef a ticket on a train that would take him to the steamship that would eventually land him in America. Though no move can be that easy so while he was waiting for his train he stepped away from his luggage for a mere second when someone stole his luggage which contained all of his money amd most importantly his ticket aboard the steamship. Luckily Tesla had enough spare mchange in his pockets to pay for the train ride but once he got to the steamship what would he do? Well he explained to the steamship's wary captain his situation although the captain may not have believed him when no one else showed up for Tesla'a reservation he let him aboard anyway. With that Tesla was off to America in hopes to work with the other great electrical engineer Thomas Edison.
