Circumstances Unknown

       DISCLAIMER:  all characters not Jonny are not mine.

            PROLOGUE: obviously.

            Eckhart sat patiently watching the latest of technology be activated.  This machine was, he was told, to have the power to distort time and space, maybe even give a person the ability to travel through time.  If this were true, he thought, then he would b able to stop the genetic experiments before they started, before the accident.

            He waited now, his heart raced as the rest of the enormous machine was turned on.  Now all there was to do was to "flick the switch" sort of speak. 

            His hand almost quivered, but his face still showed no emotions.

            "Ready?"  asked the professor of the project.

            All Mason could do was nod.  He wasn't sure if his lips would quiver.

            The whole room stood still, and held their breath. 

            The switch was flicked.
