Sci-fi Story - The Time Engineer - Part 2

Part 1

Part 2

Time trips are carried out under the supervision of the Time Sciences Supervisory Board. After three months in prison for my unauthorized time travel, committee members sympathetic to my political views granted me conditional release. They thought my nose was rubbed and hoped I took a lesson. On my second attempt, in addition to the journey without committee permission, I was also charged with unauthorized use of the time machine. This time the time cops followed me with another time machine and caught me before I could prevent my mother's accident and brought me to nominal time.
When they put me in prison, they probably didn't think I'd be able to escape from the cell I was locked up in. Inside the toothpaste tube, I took to prison an experimental drug that speeds up time for the person using it. Within seconds after the guard entering my cell, I swallowed the medicine and began to experience the time eighty times faster than any other. Compared to the speed I reached, prison officers seemed to freeze up where they were. I walked out of prison with ease, lost my mark, and came to this secret house no one knew where it is.

I have never fallen for a delusion like the one I could have achieved alone in my attempt to make time travel open to the public. I think I know my limits. My priority here is to save my mother and, in this way, maybe inspire people. Although it is not yet widely known, I have saved the lives of hundreds of cancer patients, and I think this is important.

Why do members of the board and those who appoint them block developments that are obvious to the good of humanity? It is possible to talk about a few trends that the public is considering. Unfortunately, often, the interests of those who hold power do not overlap with the public interest. Many people want to reunite with their dead relatives, of course, and they, like me, want to take advantage of the blessings of time travel. However, it is difficult to say that there is widespread awareness of this issue in the community. The majority of people think that an extraordinarily costly event like time travel can't be realized. Also, the broad masses do not care about changing things that have happened in the past because of their belief in Destiny.

The planet's elites, on the other hand, can be handled in two groups. Sponsors who benefit commercially from expeditions to the past do not want to lose their privileged position on time technologies. Other sovereigns who have nothing to do with this work are concerned that tampering with history could damage their current status.

Since I am ten days behind the time wall, I must have traveled to the past once more, right?

Two hours after escaping from prison, an air vehicle landed in the balcony of the house where I had been. Trying to escape would not be meaningful, so I continued to read poems from the screen in front of me. A man too old to be a policeman approached the door of my house that opened to the terrace and took me to an underground hangar.

The old man first took out a little time radio from his coat pocket and handed it to me, and then asked me to go inside the device that stood in front of me, saying, “If you go back, they'll find you harder.” I took the time radio and put it in my pocket and went into the device I thought was an experimental time machine. My intention was actually to go back to the day my mother had the accident, at any cost. After studying the device for a while, I realized it was a time-tunnel cabinet. I activated the device by pressing the single button on the control screen. It didn't take me a minute to get through the time warp and reach the other side. I looked at my watch after I got out of the carrier cabin; I had gone back ten days in time. This means that the time tunnel has not been built for a long time since such devices are only used to reach a single point in time.

The broadcast of time radio is used to convey veiled messages to dissidents like myself, who have been placed in the past. These messages mainly contained information obtained through the time viewer tool. Looking back from nominal time, they detected what was coming to us and used the time radio to transmit this information to us.

Why am I writing these lines instead of taking action hence I know what's going to happen to me? If the time radio broadcast last night, I would have gone to the exit of the time tunnel on our side and tried to get in touch with other opponents. Now that the broadcast has been cut, such an action will not work.

At this stage, I can return to the topic of the widespread use of time science technologies. Why is it inconvenient to get information from the future? Although we don't know for sure what might happen in the future, we can predict many things. For example, we know that one day we will die, what could be more important?
