Overture from Origins by M-Opus

Narrator Speaks:
“The year was 2187. We had already established thriving colonies on the Moon and Mars, on space stations and orbiting facilities, when a new discovery revolutionised everything; consumer-level superconducting power. Call it free-flowing energy. A decade of huge progress and excess.
Amongst the billions of users, three young scientists were trying to make their own breakthrough in Bournemouth Labs Mexico.”

Then we hear Miller McKee’s voice. He’s an Irish scientist, late 20s, working on an American project to invent teleportation. His colleagues Dr. Violet Vicefield and Dr. Jonah Ephgrave, late 20s, are both American. He records a spoken word report:

Miller:
“OK, Ministry Of Off-World Developments Teleport Research program here at Bournemouth Labs, this is report number 416, present are team lead Dr. Violet Vicefield, engineer Dr Jonah Ephgrave, and me, designer Mr. Miller McKee. I also enjoy long walks and watching the sunset while masturbating.

Today is Sequence 20, it’s the big one folks, it’s April Fool’s Day 2187, but this is no prank. This evening, we make our first attempt to teleport a live human test subject directly from one discrete point to another, in this case, from the Teleport Gate Platform to the parking lot.

So let’s hear it for our test subject, it’s the engineer himself, Dr. Jonah Ephgrave (mouths crowd noise), hailing from Hartford Connecticut, he steps up to the plate, a hush descends on the crowd, Jonah’s lover and esteemed team leader, Violet, bites my nails.”

Violet:
“Miller, come on!?”

Miller:
“Alright, keep your knickers on. Honestly, you would think we're making history here or something. OK, Violet, console 2 ready. Jonah, you all set?

Jonah:
“All set, Miller.”

Miller:
“Naked dwarves with trays of cocaine on their head ready? Let’s beat the speed of light folks and I’ll pop the champagne. See you on the other side, pal.”

We hear a machine going into overdrive, the sound of panic, screaming and then silence.
