In the underground of a big city is hidden a secret laboratory. In it, scientists are working on advanced technologies that are not made public yet. No one really knows who is funding the research in it.
One of the biggest technological advances made in the previous month is a very special machine. It has been designed to alter the probability of certain events happening.
It can work if it focuses on an object, for example the scientists have been focusing the machine on a six-face dice. They ask the machine to double the probability of the dice to fall on six.
The control panel is simple. The machine only requires three data to work : the subject, the event and the probability multiplier. It is presented as such :
Subject = [Dice]
Event = [Falling on 6]
Probability = [X2]
While the scientists, are testing it, one of them increases the probability from X2 to X1,000,000,000. From this moment, the dice falls every time on six.
The main issue the scientists have now is that the machine can focus on an object but not on a person. Only one word can be put in the subject line and then the machine finds automatically the subject. But it has trouble finding people, they try writing names, and then descriptive keywords like "Tall", "White", "Researcher" or "Woman". With no success.
They decide to let the machine run while they go work on something else.
Suddenly, the machine is able to pick a subject by itself, a young man named James, detected in the city right above.
Now that it has a subject, it needs an event to change the probability of. The value being blank, it fills in the last entered word "Woman". As for the probability value, it also keeps the last entered one.
The result is :
Subject = [James]
Event = [Woman]
Probability = [X1,000,000,000]
The machine starts working toward its purpose : increasing massively the probability of James to become a woman.
Meanwhile, the scientists who are working on other subjects are completely unaware that the machine started working.
