Walter's impromptu experiment.

    by: Mr. George Author IconMail Icon
Professor Walter Williams was working in his lab. A device that might revolutionise communication, and boost empathy. The brainalizer was tuned to the frequency of his thoughts, and could tune into those of another individual, allowing a kind of electronically boosted telepathy.

The early lab experiments with dogs, and chimps had shown some degree of shared thoughts, and understanding of a different perspective, in solving mazes, and in sharing food.

Now, he was sure it was time for human trials. However, the threshold for the university to allow them to proceed was frustratingly high. With the board blocking even the least invasive experiment on grounds of safety.

It left him with too low a power level, and looking like a mad scientist who'd fantasized their results. With the academic budget being reviewed, and his lack of results in an expensive field. Walter worried about being a foot-note in the scientific literature. The also-ran who lacked the courage of his convictions.

Taking a deep breath to steady his nerves. Walter thought about Tim, providing him with stability, with financial security and a legacy.

Flicking the safeties aside, Walter felt the connection form between him and the device. His consciousness expanding. The empathy, the curiosity of everyone on the university grounds was an open book to him. It was heart-warming...

However, he needed to hone in on one mind, to give them a message. Get the categoric proof that he'd spoken through the ether, and with the weight of the breakthrough behind him. Well, then any scientific irregularities could be overlooked, and polished away.
