The Latest Invention

Capsule Corporation has a new invention coming out, but they need someone to put it through the testing stages with. They are willing to pay whomever is willing to become a lab-rat for them a hefty sum, but they warn that the side-effects could be deadly. Is the risk worth the reward?

It was a hot day. Then again, every day was hot in the desert. This day, however, was particularly hot. Normally Enzeru would be in her tent on a day like this but she felt they were close to a discovery of epic proportions. The day before they had lifted a boulder the side of a truck and found a small gold earring.

Even a find as small as this meant a great deal to the crew. After years of searching for treasure they finally found something. They were sad when the archeological society took it away to their home museum but Lisa and Enzeru both assured everyone, including each other, that their find would be well cared for.

“Bring that crane over this way,” Enzeru called out to the man driving the crane.

The neck of the crane swung around so fast Enzeru had to duck to avid being hit.

“Carefully!” She added.

The man driving the crane pulled a lever and a net dropped. Enzeru waved the watching workers over and they began shoveling, lifting, and pushing rocks into the net. She watched as two men tried to push a large boulder on to the net.

Enzeru laughed and walked over, “Let me get that.” She positioned herself just so before lifting the boulder off the ground. Enzeru stumbled and fell, the boulder landed just out of the net. She pushed it in and sat down.

“Are you alright?” One of the workers asked her.

“Yeah, thankfully I’m able to lift more than I used to. That martial arts training is really paying off.” Enzeru laughed and relaxed. “How about we take a rest for water?”

There were mumbles of agreement before everyone headed for the main tent. Lisa was waiting with a cooler full of large water bottles.

“Alright, everyone take on and take a seat.” Lisa said as the group filed in.

Enzeru came in last and Lisa handed her a bottle of water.

“You’re not as young as you used to be. Take it easy.”

“Well, I’m stronger than I ever was. They need me out there to reduce the risk of injury or worse. It’s a proven fact me doing the heavier lifting keeps everyone safe.” Enzeru opened her water and gulped down half the bottle. “But this heat is brutal. Even I can’t beat it.”

“You’ll be happy when I make my announcement then.” Lisa began as she approached the group of guys sitting around the room. “I’ve got some good news. Capsule Corp is testing a new device here today. It seems they are quite impressed with our leader’s hobby of helping people. Anyway, we have to choose someone to be here to turn it on.”

“Thank you Miss Lisa, I’ll take it from here.” A man in a suit walked into the tent carrying a briefcase. “As Lisa said, we at Capsule Corp are very impressed with Enzeru’s exploits and have chosen this site to test a new device that would be very helpful to you all.”

“What is it?” Someone asked from the back.

“It’s a weather control machine. And like Lisa said, someone has to turn in on manually. If it doesn’t work it will explode and either cause whoever is near to explode with it or it will cause rapid changes in the person’s body likely but not limited to thunder storms, tornadoes, extreme temperatures, you know, weather stuff.”

“That’s a little bit too harsh for me to risk my crew and my location. I understand what you are trying to do but I do not want my people risking their lives.” Enzeru crossed her arms and glared.

“I understand that you are worried but I assure you that the site will be fine. We believe that all of the bugs are out of the system. The chances that we missed something are a hundred to one against.”

“But there is still a chance,” Enzeru replied.

“This invention could change the entire world for the better if you would just allow us to test here. Think about it, millions of lives spared because famines will be ended. There will no longer be hunger.”

“That many people huh?” Enzeru sighed, she hated it when her conscience did this to her. “Fine. But I’ll be the one to flip the switch. Everyone else can have the day off while I do this.”

“Oh, and there is some monetary compensation for your cooperation and risk.” The man handed Enzeru a piece of paper. “Also, you will get a copy of the device free for your site.”

“Then it’s settled. I shall go in and turn on the machine. You guys take the rest of the day off. If anything happens to me Lisa will take over. Don’t worry.”

“How the hell are we supposed to not worry when we could be sending you off to your death?” One of the diggers asked.

“Simple, think of it as me sending you on holiday to spend some alone time here. After all, there are times when I need to be alone to think and you never seem to have a problem with that.”

“But this is your life boss, we can’t just let you…”

“That’s enough. I have made my decision. Quit trying to change my mind.”

“Well, I for one ain’t goin no where.” An equipment operator growled.

There were replies of here here and mumbles of agreement.

“Then I expect you all to wait here by the tent. Do not try and join me, am I clear?” Enzeru’s order was indeed clear.

The cries of ‘Yes mam’ were heard throughout the dig site. Enzeru knew her employees would never let her down. For not only did they work for her, they were her friends.

“Good then. Whenever you are ready please follow me.” The Capsule Corp man told Enzeru before leaving the tent.

“If anyone has anything to say to me say it now.” Enzeru told the crowd that was gathering around her.

“Why say anything? We know it’s going to work, right guys?” Lisa laughed uneasily.

A few guys replied with ‘yeah’ and ‘right’.

“Good then. But if something does go wrong, get my journal, find my father and tell him what happened.” Enzeru said before leaving the tent.

She retired her hair where it would be out of her face. The sun beat down on everything like a fist. If this would help people live through situations they would normally not live through then it had to be done.

Enzeru had never faced something she could not physically fight. This was something so new, so different, so frightening it was enough to make someone want to turn and run. But she couldn’t run, they’d just get someone else to do it.

Slowly Enzeru made her way to the center of the dig site. The capsule corp man was standing by a strange device.

“This is it. When I get back to the save zone, the tents, all you have to do is flip this switch right here.” The man pointed to a switch and grinned. “Any questions?”

“Do you have any procedures you can follow if something goes wrong?”

“No, but we would be willing to notify your next of kin.”

“Well, I will hold you to that. Talk to Lisa if you must notify my next of kin of anything.”

“I will do that. Good luck Miss Enzeru. If anyone can endure this test, it’s you.” The man offered to shake her hand.

Enzeru smirked and laughed before shaking his hand. “You are acting like this is good bye or something. No worries, this is nothing but a flip of the switch.”

The man walked away and carefully positioned himself behind Enzeru’s blue, green, and white tent.

The dig site staff stood outside the tent watching. Some of them looked a little frightened while others had a smug look of coolness plastered all over their faces.

Enzeru looked back at her friends and took a deep breath. She turned to face the device. She could turn and run now, it wasn’t too late yet. No, that was stupid, turning and running would mean she was a chicken.

“I’m not a chicken,” Enzeru whispered to herself.

She took one last deep breath, closed her eyes, and flipped the switch. Enzeru felt something cold land on her cheek. She opened her eyes and looked up. White flakes of snow were falling all around her.

Everyone gasped and whispered.

“Wow, this is amazing.” Enzeru sat down and looked around as the melting snow began to dampen the dirt around her.

Cheers erupted from behind her as her crew rushed to her.

“I got to hand it to you, you are one lucky woman,” Lisa laughed as she caught a snowflake in her hand, her blonde hair now spotted with snow.

“Miss Enzeru. As for our agreement here is the zeni I agreed to,” The Capsule Corp man handed her a check.

“Thank you sir. This device is amazing. Could it be altered to do other things?”

“Of course, it is a very easily altered program.”

“I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks again.”

“No, mam, thank you.” The man turned, got in his car, and left.

“Well, I guess dinner is on me tonight.” Enzeru said as she stood up and smiled. This was a frightening yet rewarding experience.

It was put to a vote that they would have a grill out for dinner complete with beer. Enzeru sent out a guy to place the order to be delivered directly to the camp. In three hours they had everything they needed. Lisa took charge of the grill while Enzeru told the workers about some of her adventures.

“So there I was, sitting in the void. It was dark, quiet, and I was alone, or so I thought. Just when I thought all was well a blast of energy flew by my head, barely missing my ear.”

“What was it?”

“It was a strong blue fighter. Later on he told me he was dead.”

“How could someone dead fire energy, aren’t dead people just whisps?”

“Actually if you’re strong enough you get to keep your body in the after life.”

There were murmurs of surprise and delight.

“Anyway, he wasn’t the only fighter I encountered between minds. I encountered a strong saiyan man that decided he wanted to lecture me. After reading my mother’s journal I strongly suspect he is my father.”

“What’s he like?”

“He’s strong, wise, and stubborn.”

“Just like our leader.”

Everyone laughed.

“Yeah, laugh it up.” Enzeru smirked and crossed her arms.

“Hey, are you guys gonna talk about fake impossible stuff all day or eat something?” Lisa yelled from the grill.

“You know it’s all real, you just don’t want to admit it.” Enzeru laughed as she grabbed a burger and a seat.

“Why don’t you ever drink beer?” One of the guys asked Enzeru.

“Because it effects me in a bad way. Go eat a burger.” Enzeru bit into her burger, hoping this would end the conversation.

Luckily for her it did.

Later on everyone gathered around for more stories about undead minions and biker gangs. There were lots of laughs and memories made. This was indeed the best life threatening risk she had ever taken.
