*EDIT* The science part of this chapter isn't exactly on par on what I'd like so expect lots of updates on this chapter. The vibrating photons bit makes no sense at all. I'll probably keep the vibration part but change the photons as the vibrating material. I'll also try to add a more in depth explanation. Right, now on with the chapter!

********************
I rolled my wheelchair down the hallowed halls of one of the most prestigious school's in all of the country. MIT had wanted me to attend the unveiling of a new technology that they said would 'revolutionize transport and travel'. I suppose that my invitation was to persuade me to attend MIT. I had my doubts about the school but decided to attend the demonstration regardless of that. What can I say? The proposal intrigued me.A young blonde woman came down the hall. She was somewhere in her early twenties. She looked at me with awe and admiration. I can't say that I blame her. It's not everyday that you meet a genius of my caliber.
I was one of the most brilliant minds on the planet. I had been IQ tested nearly a year ago, but needless to say that no one was surprised when I got a score of 195. At the age of 10, I had already graduated high school with perfect scores in every test that I was given. Now I was 15 and I was finally getting around to getting my college doctorate degrees in engineering, theoretical physics, organic chemistry, etc. When it came time to choose a college, all of them started to try to recruit me. This demonstration was probably MIT's weak attempt to convince me to attend here.
The young woman came to stop in front of me. "Mr. Wright?"
I nodded my head. Who else would I be? I mean there weren't very many fifteen year old cripples at MIT.
She smiled, allowing her pearly white teeth to show. "Mr. Wright, will you please follow me this way?" She extended her arm down a hallway to my left.
"Lead the way." I said.
She led me down the passage towards the west part of the building. The building itself was a grand building. The front had great columns that caused me to remember the Supreme Court building in D.C. The dome over the top of the building made it also similar to the Capitol building. Inside, I'd been surprised to find the place bustling with activity. People rushed all over, as if it were the end of the world.
"Sorry about all the ruckus. It's just that we've never had a project this big before." The woman told me.
"It's not a problem." I said.
Truth be told, it's kind of hard to move around in a wheelchair when there are people everywhere. I swiveled and turned trying to follow the woman through the thick mass of people . I wondered what the project was. The amount of people working on it was numerous.
We finally were able to get through the sea of people and she led me down another hallway.
She turned to talk to me. "Once we see the yellow line across the hallway, just know that I won't be able to lead you all the way to the labs. This project is of high priority and secrecy, so the security is tight. I was told to instruct you to follow the yellow line to wherever it leads to."
Sure enough, we encountered the yellow line. Maybe the project really was revolutionary. After all, obviously not many people were privy to whatever was going on.
I nodded at the lady and followed the yellow line down the hallway. The line led me down a labyrinth of additional halls and directly to a red door. There was a sign to the left of it that read: Dr. Levi. I pushed opened the door without hesitation and rolled into a bright white room. All around the room was various pieces of machinery. There were no windows so all the light came from large hanging fixtures on the ceiling. It was really sort of empty; there was no evidence of anyone working here.
