Valerie was running late, sneakered feet squeaking on the linoleum flooring of the entrance area as she rushed towards Lab 6. The 'Experiment-to-bring-on-a-decade-of-fame' (according to Professor Luxe) was this morning and somehow the universe had decided to test the limits of her insanity by making her alarm fail to go off at the right time.
The girl's honey-blonde curls streamed behind her like party confetti, wayward strands wisping around her heart-shaped face. It was difficult to pull on a lab coat while running and along the twists and turns of the buildings corridors she had already almost caused someone to drop a pile of printed paper while another had ended up with freshly brewed coffee drenching his shirt.
"I'm so sorry!..." She shouted sincerely behind her, glancing for only a moment over her shoulder at the wreckage and chaos she was leaving in her path. Prof Luxe is going to have a hernia if I'm late again this week. I bet he already regrets that I was the lucky name pulled out of the hat for this project. She skid through the laboratory's threshold just in time, needing a moment to wheeze and drag in a few breaths before she could speak. Her supervisor, Professor Shane Luxe, was already waiting with a displeased frown and arms crossed over his chest.
"Finally. I was beginning to think you weren't going to show and that I was going to have to think up some creative punishment. We're immensely lucky to have been chosen as part of the Biology division for this project and I didn't wish to be embarrassed on the most important day." He said, sighing as he unfolded his arms and walked into an adjoining room.
Project Doctor Who, as it had become affectionately known, was the project in question. The University that Val had attended for almost four years had joined up different faculties to test the theory of time warping proposed by one of the staff. Considering that they needed to know what effects supposed 'time-travel' might have on the human condition, Professor Luxe and an assistant of his choice had been called to assist. Fortunately (Or maybe unfortunately...) for her, she had been the student chosen to help him in a lucky draw.
"I can't believe...today....is the day..." Valerie said, still breathing heavily in her recovery from the sprint while her emerald hues fixed on the man about eight years older than she. He might not have much in terms of age on her, but as one of the youngest men to publish a truly notable article on the human body he was something of a deity in the Biology Department.
"Better believe it. If all goes well today, we could be making - or should I say re-making- history."
They had both come to a halt in the observation room, the white walls large enough to hold a crowd of twenty people comfortably in front of the glass wall that showed the rather large machine in the room next door. There were people already getting it started, lights beginning to flicker on and sounds of whirring filling the air. Valerie took out her notebook and pencil, taking a look at the notes she had made in the previous test run.
A series of three beeps suddenly pierced the air, immediate tension and excitement filling her and those around her. It was a signal that the machine would soon be in operation. The people inside the main room left, some joining Val and Prof. Luxe in the observation room while others went off to the control room.
Once the room was clear the doors leading into the room were locked. The central mechanism, upright rings of concentric circles, then began to spin in different directions. Time to see just how well our little machine works...Valerie thought, the silver ring on her index finger tapping against her clipboard nervously.
