SECOND CHANCES

THE FALLOUT

                          It is 9:20 am and delegates from The Planetary Commission are starting to take their seats in the main conference hall to be briefed on Sun Chun Si's unauthorized activities by the Secretary. Many members were in transport from their home planets or preparing for this meeting at their Earth residence's during the eight-month 6-hour time loop and all attributed it to just a feeling of Deja Vu including the Secretary.

                              At 9:30 when the meeting was about to be called to order everyone's phones and tablets began buzzing with each member's science and technology wing sending classified messages on what has been happening for the last eight months with their only real proof being the paper trail left at the end of each loop during that 30 second window. Though the meeting was to discuss Sun Chun's activities this latest information required the Secretary to learn more and present a plan of action to the Commission. She postponed the meeting for 24 hours.

                                She met with her principles in the Homeland Security and Technology Department's. Everyone agreed Sun Chun had to be reined in but that would be a difficult and lengthy project. She had rights as a citizen of earth. We just could not invade her moon without the due process of the law.

                                  Earth's tech people now armed with the classified material on Sun Chun's experiments explained to the Secretary that if Sun's team somehow integrated her experimental time travel tech with her experimental warp bubble/black hole stuff her team could theoretically open a door to alternative universes by introducing only a slight variation in their calculations whether on purpose or by mistake which would make the last eight months seem like a cake walk. Something must be done now.

                                  Sun's security is beyond ridiculous, we will never get access so the Secretary decides on a covert mission involving the genetically engineered clone, Chad. Our people have perfected a pattern simulator that can be implanted to either render him invisible to any electronic surveillance or pass through a security check point by mimicking an authorized person's signature. The Secretary shouts "Get on it, I want him on that moon tomorrow"! Now all she must do is stall the other member planets because they will surely want to take the moon by force just to get at the tech.
