entire body of the rat was being reflected in the huge screen right in front of him. And once it was all set, the first thing that the good doctor had to check was none other than the brain activity of the rodent.
And just like that, Dr. Greene realized that the rodent was indeed in some deep sleep, which had been happening for a while now. That was very odd since rats never had to sleep that long. And it was at that moment that Dr. Greene realized that the rat wasn’t asleep, it was just hibernating, which was odd indeed.
What could cause the rat to hibernate when it's not one of its common habitual characteristics? Dr. Greene kept on asking himself, trying as much as possible not to cage himself in a box. He wanted to embrace the impossible since it was the only way that he could get to understand that freak of nature that popped out of his time machine. He knew that there must be a very valid explanation for it and even though it was just speculation, it was worth looking into at the time.
He then checked out the time and place that he had sent the rodent; it was a decade back and in his place. Then if the rat had traveled through time and gotten back, why did it have the characteristics that it, wait a damn minute!!!
And just like that, it seemed as though a very brilliant idea had popped into his head and the good doctor couldn’t help but smile.
“Limbo.” He said with a smile on his face.
The rodent might have been injected with a lot more serum that the good doctor had anticipated. And as a result of that, the rat might have disintegrated and got lost in time. That explained virtually everything!!
Chapter 3:
-The unusual materials-
After taking sick leave for almost a week, Dr. Greene was back at work. And from the look of things, it seemed as though nobody had missed him. But either way, that was one thing that didn’t seem to bother him at all. If anything, the only thing that would seem to matter at the time was nothing other than his invention.
The kind of progress that he was making was tremendous, and it had gotten to a point where he just didn’t care whether the people liked him or not, all that matter was his time machine. Even though it hadn’t gotten to the point where he could have human trials, the most important thing was that teleportation wasn’t a myth any longer. And it went without saying that he was at the center of the whole discovery.
Another thing that the good doctor found to be amusing was the fact that this time round, he was most definitely going to be given the right recognition for something that he had done. And that said, he just couldn’t get that evil smirk wiped off his face. It was something that was out of this world.
Richardson, his boss, seemed to be in the conference room with the other scientists listening to some of the young scientists doing their presentations. Dr. Greene didn’t understand why he wasn’t bothered that Richardson didn’t bother telling him that there was going to be a presentation. Usually, Dr. Greene always took pride in being on of the top scientists in the company. But at the moment, titles, as well as favors, didn’t matter to him no matter how hard he tried.
If anything, the only thing that would have made some sense at the time would have been just to ensure that he was in a position to get some material from the company and get to steal them, taking them back to his home.
One thing about Richardson’s company was that it had billions worth of government funding and so they had virtually everything that they needed. And to put his conscious at ease, it wasn’t as though Dr. Greene was the only scientist who stole raw materials from the company. Heck, the stealing was so bad to the point that the company gave circulars, telling the scientists that the management was aware that they were stealing, but they weren’t mad at all.
