Chapter 59 - Trip to the other side (1/2)

Arriving at the research facility, Susan presented the members of the team.

Susan :” This is Dr.Reed Richard the head of the project.”

Eliana:” Nice to see you again Dr.Richards. ”

Reed felt shivers run down his spine seeing the smile on Eliana's face. He always thought she was scary. He had no idea how right he was.

Reed:” Ah Miss Eliana Welcome.”

Eliana:” Mr. Müller and Dr.Banner would like to see the development of the project. Please inform us.”

Reed nodded and began presenting the progress on his quantum teleporter.

Reed shows the quantum gate he's working on :” This gate would be able to transport individuals to other planets where cosmic energy is abundant.It will be possible for us to study cosmic energy and its effect on the universe. ”

Banner looked over the designs and calculations:” When will it be available to use?”

Reed:” The project is almost over. We can begin the testing phase.”

Banner:” Bring a chimpanzee and send it to the other side. We want to see the test.”

Reed and the others were surprised for the immediate ok and went to bring a chimpanzee from Sue's lab.

The chimpanzee was then equipped with special suit and a probing camera and energy scanners to film what's on the other side.

They put it inside a pod and soon the machine was activated under the watching gaze of all people present.

A light enveloped the chimpanzee and disappeared.

Reed:” Try to bring out the feeds and energy readings.”

Victor began typing and soon the feed came up on the screen showing where the chimpanzee landed.

Elijah and company observed the screen and saw the planet which has different atmosphere as well the presence of different sources of energy. The planet looked deserted.

Reed:” This is marvellous. It's a success. Could you please show me the energy readings?”

Victor:” wait as second.”

Victor brought the energy readings on the screen.

Reed thought for a while and began his calculations. After a while he said:”There will be a cosmic storm in 3 days. This is amazing we can study it.”

After experimenting for a while, the chimpanzee was brought back signifying the success of the return mechanism.

The quintet celebrated while the Haven committee looked unimpressed.

The quintet began to discuss how to plan the trip in three days to study the storm.

Michael (NASA guy):” You can't go. This has become a national security issue. We will send trained astronauts under the supervision of the government.”

Reed:” You can't do that . This is our project.”

Johnny:” Fuck man are you serious?”

An argument broke out while Elijah and the others didn't care until Elijah coughed three times and everybody went quiet.

Michael:” Mr.Müller this project will be taken over by the government. I don't think you want to antagonise us.”

Elijah looked at Eliana and said:” get rid of the annoyance.”

In front of everyone Eliana disappeared and a bone cracking sound was heard. The next thing everyone saw was Michael dropping to the ground with a broken neck.

Everyone went pale faced and scared seeing a man dead in a matter of seconds.

Elijah stood up and said:” Now that we have got rid of the annoyance. Let's return to the issue at hand.”

Banner joined him and said to the still scared quintet :” Your machine works pretty well but it need more adjustments. Work on it.”

Elijah looked at them and erased the scene they saw of the NASA guy getting killed from their memories while destroying the body.

Elijah said while leaving:” work on it. If you finish the last adjustment we can discuss the trip to the other side”

Elijah left the building with the others.

Eliana:” If they try to go to the other side in secret . What do we do?”
