A Harder World

Build 1

You've probably heard the story before. Scientist conducting experiment, scientist performing experiment – oh, no, what a surprise, something awful happens! It's a plot that's been repeated more times than anyone could count, and I thought that it was something that only happened in bad movies.

Until it happened to me.

Okay, let's start at the beginning.

I work for a company called Arraytor Inc, and our primary source of income is defense contracts and obscure government observation experiments – basically, more and more outlandish ways to spy on people. I can't say that I was really satisfied with the work we did, but, let me tell you, there's not many applications of a doctorate in Applied Transdimensional Interactions. It's a little niche, as you might guess.

So, anyway, there was me, your average 30-something reasonably attractive nerd-girl doctor. Okay, maybe not that average! Anyway. In my particular department, there was me, and then there was Genny, my assistant. Officially, she was just my assistant, but, really, she was my partner. I couldn't get anything done without her.

"Good morning, Dr. Moran," she said with a small smile.

"Good morning, Dr. White," I said back to her.

"How're the preparations coming?" I asked, walking up to the chamber. Beyond were a collection of lasers, transmitters, and transponders that had taken me and Genny months to work out the calculations for. The parts themselves weren't all the specialized – most were only slightly better than consumer electronics – but it was all the combination that had taken us so long to work out.

"They're good," Genny said, looking down her PDA and flicking throught some pages. "I ran a preliminary systems battery, and we got green across the board." She looked up from her PDA, and her eyes shone with excitement. "Are you ready?"

I grinned like a maniac. "Of course I'm ready! It's everything we've been working for."

She nodded, and we both went to our stations.

"30 seconds," I said, and then I keyed in the ignition sequence. The unmistakable sound of the fusion generator keying up pierced the whole station with its sweet, shrill song. The indicators flicked on one at a time, and there weren't any problems.

"Just 10 seconds away from looking at another world," I whispered, my heart fluttering in my chest. The excitement was burning through my veins, and it was all I could do to not jump and down. This would allow us to see all sorts of developments that we had never made, to reverse engineer advances that our world had never seen!

"5 seconds to field generation," Genny said, double-checking the streams of figures going by on her monitors. The sound of the generator was like music to my ears, and it got louder by the moment, going from sounding like just one person to sounding like a whole choir.

"Here it comes . . ." And then, the sound of generator leveled out, and the message I had been waiting for all along came onto the screen –

"SYSTEM READY."

With no small amount of glee, I pushed the enter key. The sounds grew louder, the main view monitor flickered on, and both Genny and I waited with baited breath –

And nothing.

The screen was blank. We weren't seeing anything. Not another world where China ruled the whole globe, not a place where dinosaurs had evolved into humans place. Nothing!

". . . is there something wrong?" I asked.

"No?" Genny flicked through the settings, double-checking her figures and data. "We're getting data, and we should be getting visual." She turned back to the main monitor, but there was nothing going on. Just a white screen.

"Maybe there's just something wrong with translating software, then," I said, going back to my console, but then some movement on the screen caught my eye. I spun to look, but there was nothing but a screen of white. I dismissed and then went through all the programming I could think of.

It took the rest of the workday, but Genny and I went through practically all of it. It was all working perfectly within expected parameters, but we still weren't seeing anything.

"Sarah," Genny said, rubbing her eyes. "We might as well call it a night. All the code's starting to run together."

I looked at my monitor and nursed my coffee. "Yeah, I know what you mean." Rather than beat myself over the head with it, I just flicked off my monitor and powered down the generator. "C'mon, let's head out."

We both made a quick stop by the employee kitchen, took care of our drinks, and then chatted on our way out.

"Blah, Eric was even worse than Tim," she said as we stepped into the elevator.

"Really? But I thought you said he had potential."

"I thought he did." She grimaced and shifted her weight. "But he was just looking to get into my pants. Once I made it clear that I w
