Free Experiment by Adam Moon Page A

part of The Enrichment program.  The program not only ensured a better world population, but a smaller population because genetically engineering a human took many years to perfect.
    It was almost a perfect science, but occasionally an engineered human would exhibit undesirable traits which had not been programmed. Scientists wrestled with this anomaly for decades but eventually they were forced to factor the variables into their calculations. For this very reason, all humans were raised in special camps where they were exposed to the most individually beneficial environment for their specific traits. In these camps they were under constant supervision in case they acted out of the ordinary. These oddball children were promptly eliminated from society before they could spread their corrupt influence.
    James was lucky in that he' d been programmed with greater intelligence than any other person living today because he had secrets that took all of his ingenuity to keep hidden.
    He' d felt different his entire life. Everyone was programmed to have little or no sexual urges, but from a young age he felt a strong desire toward the opposite sex. He also felt a strong urge to rebel against societal constraints. Because of his intelligence, however, he was able to hide his unnatural tendencies from the world.

James approached his laboratory. He was the head of experimental sciences. His employees would arrive at exactly 8am. By arriving at 7am he would normally have ample time to organize the day for his staff but for the past two years he'd been using this time for something other than planning the day's work schedules.
    His latest design was a machine for the corporation that could instantaneously transport anything non-organic to anywhere in the universe. There could be multiple applications for such a transporter but the main use would hopefully be to transport a high powered telescope across vast distances of space to view far reaches of the universe. The strongest telescope was powerful enough to see perfectly across any given distance; its clarity was infinite, and that very telescope was now an important part of James’ experiment.
    T elescopes were flawed in that they could not show things as they are in their present state; this was a light-speed barrier problem that until now, no one was able to avoid. With the transporter, however, the telescope could bypass the light-speed barrier problem altogether and therefore not only see the entire universe close up, but also in real time, as it is now.
    The telescope would then return to earth where the images could be ev aluated by the scientific team (all viewing had to be conducted from earth because it was impossible to transport organic material).
    The transporter had been in Beta testing for over two years. It had just passed all testing phases and James was ready to pitch the idea to the corporate board members. There were enormous amounts of energy required to power his transporter when it was sent across vast distances and he worried that the cost alone might be enough to shut down the project.
    He had a 10am appointment with the board later in the morning to address the issues and to see if the project would go forward or not.
    He needed to get approval if he were to continue with his early morning experiments; experiments that were never divulged to the b oard or even to his technicians; experiments that were technically illegal.
    His first unsanctioned experiment with the transporter would have warranted little more than a warning had he been caught. These latest endeavors, however, were what posed the greatest risk to him.
    The transporter had been operational for just a few weeks and wasn’t even in Beta testing when James hit upon a new use for it. He theorized that he might be able to see into the earths past with it. If he sent the telescope out, say, fifty million light years, he could zoom back in and see the earth as it was fifty million years ago. If he
