TIMELAPSE! #4: The Options Unconsidered!
It's been three days since we last had a discussion about Esper. That night when we last had the discussion, we cut it at those questions and left home. The future me returned back to his time and said he'd be back after three days. In short, we had three days to find an answer to two important questions:
Is Esper here now, in the present? If so, how is he coming back?
How do we stop Esper from corrupting the brains of foetuses and how is he doing it?
We already had a clue about how he might be doing it. We suspected that Esper might have another Timelapse device, as he stole it while his creation.
Three days later, we met. My future self made it in time for the meeting. But he seemed down about something. I was about to ask him but Cat prompted me to get started with the theory she thought I had come up with, regarding the current problem.
"Honestly, I don't know."[J: frowning]
"What do you mean you don't know? You did so much research right?" [Cat and Fuuta: totally mad at me]
"He's right. I couldn't find evidence in my time too. In fact, I met Mr Esper."[Future J: almost making no sense at all]
"What?"[J, Cat and Fuuta: in chorus, mind-blown]
"It might not make sense but, I met the CEO of Esper Inc. Mr Esper himself. He came to recruit me as the head of R&D in the Genomics and Immunology division of Esper Inc. He offered me a salary of 2.5 lakh per month."[future J: confused whether to be happy or sad]
"Good for you. But then, all that we discussed up until now doesn't make sense anymore, does it?"[J: totally lost]
"Yeah, we're back to square one in the problem. But then, Cerebral Re-mapping seemed so valid. Where did we go wrong?[Cat]
"There is one more problem."[Future J: interrupting]
"What is it?"[Fuuta]
"Someone else came with me back to the past today. Someone grabbed me but the hand while I was teleporting back in time. Once we landed here, he stole the Timelapse device from me. From what I saw, he looked like a school student."[Future J: completely sad]
"Great. That's what we want. More problems!"[J: frustrated about the...
