A problem

"Call Gabriel back" came from the scientist's mouth.

The movement Gabriel was called back, the visual went off. Valentine took off the VR glasses he was wearing.

Scientist George thought that he may have aroused some interest in Valentine towards his invention, of course, he is still a young boy, he could still arouse Valentine's liking towards his invention thought the scientist George to himself.

He explained some of the rules to Valentine about his invention, "There is one thing. A person could not stay in a time period for more than an hour and will be sent back here after the time interval by default. It is more because of the system which gets overloaded. Even though we are equipped with the latest machineries, supercomputers”, there was a disappointment in his voice as he continued after every word he spoke.

"It's like the path of making this has been revealed before humanity could prepare itself for this" the assistant sighed.

" So what do you expect me to say" Valentine asked, "Is there a reason to be saying all this right now when I asked you to show me another time travel for me to believe it".

George said, "Yes, there are still ten more minutes before the machine could cool down itself to come to its initial state. It gives a really huge load for even the supercomputers to handle"

The scientist further explained, "For a single person it can make the maximum time travel period to an hour but when you double the amount of time a person travels, its limit halves to thirty minutes. If four people, the time limit comes down to fifteen minutes. Even though the time said isn't exact but approximate, it still won't make much of a difference"

"Did you try increasing the amount of processor?" came an obvious question from Valentine.

"Yes but it only ended up crashing because of the instability from so many processes running all together" came the reply. Synchronizing many processors isn't that hard but maintaining the balance as per the input is the real problem. Only if, even a bigger and much powerful processor could be made available than the already available most powerful processor.

"Sir, the teleporter machine is back to its initial position" came a voice from far.

"Gabriel, go stand there" the scientist asked and Gabriel did the same.

Valentine puts on the glasses once again, fixing it to his eye level ready to see where it goes next.

"5000 BCE, Mesopotamia" came from the scientist's order.

The same noise~

This time Gabriel was teleported to a building with ancient carvings. Exposed bricks from some places, the bricks were unbaked and things used were of clay and they were marvellous looking but poorly refined stones. Gabriel hid behind a pole which in itself has carvings on it, loud voices started coming from a bunch of people standing outside the temple, who came to make the offering to their god. The language they spoke wasn't known to any of them but one could make out from the scene what was happening. Valentine was good in studies and remembered studying about Mesopotamia, the carvings on the building walls were too similar to what he had studied from the photos of the clay steeples.

Scientist asked Valentine with amusement , looking into what Valentine was staring at on his big screen, " What do you say, Young Crimson?"

Valentine took off his glasses and Gabriel was called back.

"Yes there's no denying to your time machine or what you call it 'Teleporter Science'. It has worked out and I am willing to give it a shot but don't send me in a very old time period, make it somewhere recent or in future" Valentine said with a very slight interest.

Scientist though he was happy to have raised the slight interest, he wasn't happy with the word 'future'.

"I have to apologize to you, Young Crimson but time traveling to the future isn't possible right now. I could only succeed in cracking down the code to the past but the future is still to be achieved" came the disappointed reply from the scientist.

"Then why call it a Time machine but instead it should be a past travel machine." Valentine joked and the Scientist laughed along even though not liking him constantly joking about his invention.

"Young Master Valentine, why don't you give it a try. I will set the time to seven years back from today, 2015 January." Scientist George looked at the young Valentine, to which Valentine gave a slight nod.

"Keep the place of time travel to my current home. I don't wanna time travel to a place where people don't understand what I speak and label me as ‘crazy naked’ " he laughed, " I know Mr. Henderson would be able to handle the future me as he knows you are already planning this for over 10 years."

Valentine walked to where Gabriel stood earlier.

Scientists gave him a smile and set the time period to seven years ago, to 2015 January.

Valentine hoped to be in his home seven years before from the current time but he heard a clack sound from near the scientist which was highly pitched and it wasn't made in any of the before time travels.

Scientist shouted from where he stood towards Valentine who was disappearing slowly, "Mr. Crimson, please keep calm and safe there for at least an ho-" and he completely disappeared from there, unable to hear what else the scientist had to say.

This made Valentine realize that there has been a problem with the device.

He knew his clothes won't travel with him so he wished that he would land on his home only, some difference in time won't matter as long as he opens his eyes in his home.

But when he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a GIRL'S ROOM.
