"Do I know you?" He replied with a confused look on his face.

"I'm Lyn," I replied.

"Lyn, are you okay?" asked Elvira.

He was supposed to be dead, how did he end up here? No, I'm not thinking about this, I need to control myself. If I let this take over me, then I'll lose everything to Dyrlisia. Get your shit together, Lyn.

"Let's start the experiment, shall we?" I asked.

"We shall." Replied Elvira.

"Get him in the booth," I said as I made eye contact with him.

"I'm on it, Mr Lyn." Said the guy that works for Dyrlisia.

I just hope this experiment goes well, and that it doesn't cause any damages. Control yourself, Lyn, you've been so good at this. They got Jay in the booth. He looked terrified. I handed them the device and the earphones that were supposed to be plugged into the device.

"Did you prepare the video?" I whispered to Elvira.

"Yeah, the video should be displayed on the screen of the device, if you did everything correctly." She replied.

"Great."

The guy helped Jay put the earphones into his ears and gave him the device. A video should be displayed on the screen of the device, and he should be able to hear the sounds through the earphones. We attached a heart rate monitor to his hand and a blood pressure monitor on his biceps. So that we know what happens to his body when he sees the video. Wires were also attached to his brain so that we know what his thought process throughout the video.

We started the experiment by playing the video on the screen. It worked! The video was right in front of him. Great! Now on to the next part. The video is about how the rich society hates the poor society, more like a conspiracy theory video. The purpose was to see his reaction to the video and his thinking process, then we'll let him search for anything he wants. We checked his blood pressure, it was rising. His heart rate was almost normal. That means that the video has an effect on him. The project is working, my heart was pounding like a drum from happiness.

His heart rate was increasing when the death part of the video was displayed on the screen. If the video is working on the device, then the device is a success. The coding was correct, the circuits and the transistors are working.

At the end of the first experiment, his blood pressure was at 140. He had a pretty high blood pressure. We gave him a break to drink water before we start with the second experiment. He was shaking after what he saw in the video. The experiment was a success.

"Good job Lyn, it's a success." Said Elvira congratulating me.

"Thank you, I hope you're satisfied," I replied with a smile.

"I'm impressed. What I saw was the future."

"Thank you."

"No problem, there are a few other experiments that need to be held before we wrap the project up and announce it."

"Yeah, we'll be done with all the experiments today hopefully."

"Yeah, let's continue."

"The device that you are now holding is a smart device, you can choose from the four applications that are right in front of you. In the first one, you can access pictures that other people in your town post about their life or situations that they've been through. The second one is an application that is used to contact people that you care about through texting or calling, you can also see them through the camera. The third application is an application that will inform you about all the news that happens in your town in just a matter of seconds. The fourth application allows you to express all your feelings, you can say anything. Plus, you can see what other people feel or talk about. So, which one do you want to access first?" I asked as I explained.

"W...wow. I would like to access the third application, the one that deals with all the news." Replied Jay.

"Good choice."

"It's the red application that's called NIS. Which stands for, news in seconds."

"How do I access it?"

"You can access it by simply pressing on it."

"I can touch the screen?"

"Yes, by touching the screen you can go to wherever you want."

"This is amazing."

He opened the application, and his reaction was priceless. He was astounded. All the news that I created were right in front of him. They were all fake news that I made up about Trinel and Branklin. There was terrible news about Trinel, but great news about Branklin. So that he is convinced that Trinel is a terrible place and that it's not safe, and that Branklin is growing to become a rich city. It couldn't be further from the truth, but it was to test how he'll feel about it.

"Wow, is this true?" He asked.

"Everything you read is 100% true, it comes from a local newspaper company," I replied.

"I don't know what to say. This is genius."

"Do you love living in Branklin or do you wish to come live here?"

"I hate living in Branklin, but I can wait till it becomes a developed place to live in."

"So, you won't live in Trinel if you were offered to come here."

"After reading what I read of course not. I feel bad for the people living in Trinel."

"Why?"

"Because have you seen the percentage of the crime rates, the rape, and the other awful things that are happening. The city is going down."

"Yeah, I know, it's terrible."

"Oh god."

"Do you want to access the other applications?"

"Of course, I want to."

"Go ahead."

"I'll access the first one."

"All yours."

"This is incredible." He said as he scrolled through the application.

"I'm glad you liked it," I replied.

This application is supposed to make people believe what they read by seeing it in pictures. When they see different people in their community posting about something that they read about, people will believe it. In front of him were pictures and videos of people being burned to death, people suiciding, people being raped. He was amazed. He couldn't believe his eyes. I took a couple of pictures and videos that Dyrlisia had access to in his community, and I edited them using an application. This application might be the most powerful one since the viewer actually witnesses the news visually which makes it much more believable.

"I know these people, are they famous or something?" He asked.

"No, they're not, but once this application is launched, they will be," I replied.

"So, you can make yourself famous?"

"Exactly."

"And post pictures about your life and different situations that you go through?"

"Yup."

"Wow, this is so cool."

"It is. Do you want to try the other apps or you're good?"

"Are you kidding? Of course, I want to check them out."

"Nice, which one do you want to try?"

"The second one."

"For this one, I'll just tell you how to use it because no one knows about it now, so you won't have anyone to text with."

"Oh." He said as he touched the screen.

"So, when you first open the app you'll find all the chats that you previously had, and if you swipe to the left you can call anyone in your contacts."

"W...wow, I don't know what to say. This is the best creation I've ever experienced."

"I appreciate your opinion."

"Can I try the last app?"

"Yeah, sure."

"I'm so excited."

"When you first open this app, you'll see all the things that different people wrote about. If you swipe to the left you can see what is popular in your area. If you swipe right you can write your own stuff, and post it for the world to see."

"Who are all these people? How did they begin writing if it wasn't launched yet?"

"This was a trial, I programmed different accounts and wrote different stuff to try it out."

"Oh."

"Try writing your own thing. Swipe to the right, and start writing. You'll be the first one to ever write on this app."

"This is awesome."

"It is the future, Jay."

"How do I write? There's no keyboard."

"Press on the blank white space and the keyboard will appear automatically."

"Oh. My. God. This can't be real life."

He started pressing different buttons to try how the writing on the app looks like. He was impressed by the device and the applications on it. I was proud of myself. It worked, it finally did. I didn't expect it to work without any flaws. This is amazing.

"So, what do you think of the device after all? Would you buy it?" I asked.

"Are you serious? Of course, I'll buy it even if I didn't have the money for it. I'll take a debt from someone, but I need to get it."

"Nice."

"This was the best experience of my entire existence."

"The experiment is done."

"Thank you for having me. I enjoyed every second of trying this."

"No problem, it's a pleasure."

"Thank you for coming, Jay." Said Elvira as she thanked him.

"My pleasure, Ms Elvira." He replied.

"Wil." Called Elvira the guy that was helping her.

"Yes, ma'am." He replied.

"You can take him back to Branklin, we're done." She said.

"Sure, follow me Mr Jay." He said.

"Alright." Replied Jay as he followed him.

The oxygen in the lab was just shared by Elvira and me now. I knew that she wanted to talk to me about it. I was waiting for her feedback, I wanted to know how she feels about it. I know that it's going to be a positive feedback, but I don't know what she'll say though.

"I'm very proud of you, Lyn." She said.

"I'm just so happy that everything worked out, and your vision came to life," I replied.

"That was impressive. It was mind-blowing, I didn't expect that."

"Thank you. I'm so glad that you liked it, and that it worked with no flaws or glitches."

"I love how you're brainwashing them but in a secretive way. This is incredible. Both societies are in our hands now. Once we launch this device with the applications, both Trinel and Branklin will be controlled. Can you just simplify the idea of the apps? So that I know what we're dealing with."

"Yeah, sure. So, first someone reads the news from the News In Seconds app, then they see it in pictures and videos in the Witness Me app which will make them believe the news even more. Then they will go and talk about it and share it with their friends and family in the Talk To Me app, which will make the news spread even more. Then, they will start writing about it in the Talk Of Townapp which will make them 100% believe the news. In this way, we can control what they talk and read about. Plus, the news will be fully controlled by us. So, yeah that's about it."

"That's brilliant, Lyn. That's exactly what I wanted from you."

"I was so nervous, but now I'm confident that this is the future."

"Did you do the thing where you limit their access to information?"

"Yeah, to each society there's a limit, that's why when I give them to you to launch them, each one will have a different sign on it."

"Perfect."

"Yeah."

"We need to start creating the news and the different situations that we need buzz on for people to believe that their society is the best out there."

"Yeah, that's the only thing that is left to do before the official launch."

"Tomorrow at 1, I'll meet you here in the lab so we can finish it, so that it's ready for its launch. Rumors started spreading around town, that there's something that will be announced soon, but they don't know what it is yet. So, we need to announce it sooner than later."

"But, what about Jay? Do you trust him?"

"Oh, don't worry about him. He won't say anything about it, not a single word."

"How are you so sure about it?"

"Because I made him sign on an agreement. If he violates the agreement he'll be gone."

"Oh, that's good."

"Yeah, we need to host a launch party in your mansion. It will be fully sponsored by Dyrlisia, it needs to be a huge event, everyone should be impressed by how good and huge it is, then we can launch it. That's for good publicity."

"Yeah, I agree."

"I'll make my calls, and I'll let you know when the party will be hosted."

"Perfect."

"See you."

"See you."

"Oh and Lyn." She said as she turned around.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"We've been transferring you money ever since you signed the contract, I don't think you're aware of that."

"Oh really? Yeah, I'm not aware of that."

"Check with the receptionist, if you don't know your bank account number and all those details."

"Yeah, okay. I will."

"Great."

"Thank you for your generosity."

"Are you kidding? That's just a small gift."

"Thanks again."

"No worries."

She left the lab. She was impressed by the devices, I've never seen her this surprised. I was in a happy state, I didn't expect the success of this device, especially that I made it from the knowledge that I gained over the years, not from my bioengineer degree. I left the lab happily. I went to the receptionist and got all the information needed for me to get access to the money that they transferred to my account. I guess I'm rich now. That wasn't on my mind, the device was. There was only one thing left to do for this program to be launched, it is the news and the things that we need to create for people to talk about, and believe. Tomorrow at 1 everything will be ready.
