The Deadliest Alien Artifacts (Story Collection) by V Bertolaccini

really a supernatural entity? Could something go wrong?
    Something at one point seemed to be
happening and there were great alterations in the being and energy
bubble and the scientists began swiftly studying it everywhere.
    Then one morning Bryson received a message
to go immediately there as there was something occurring, and he
knew straightaway that the conclusion to something was about to
occur, and on the way there he realized that it had been doing
something and taken all the time since its appearance to do it, and
he was sure it would have normally have done it instantly and that
it had trouble doing it!
    Once he saw the
being ’ s
formation and its thick denseness and the artifact and energy field
going crazy he turned silent and observed everything he could with
Merton and Mortimer, and the other major scientists there, from
behind a protection screen.
    A sudden swift flash exploded out at the
center of the artifact and temporally blinded them, having them all
covering their eyes, and some made sure cameras were observing it
in the brightness, and Bryson saw what was occurring by shading his
eyes.
    The energy in the artifact was colossal and
the technology behind it fascinated everyone! It would be worth
billions if they could recreate it!
    Bryson gasped when he saw the reactions of
Mortimer and other scientists when the brightness and activity
began vanishing and he wondered why, and saw they were waiting for
something, and the outcome of everything there to come to a
conclusion!
    Then the figure of a man walked out of the
bright light, and he suddenly staggered about, and walked up to the
protection screen and knocked on it as hard as he could!
    The scientists removed the entrance gate and
helped him out as though wondering how he had been left inside the
confined region without them noticing.
    Nobody knew him or had seen him before, and
Bryson wondered if it had copied the human looks from someone? But
he could not recognize anything and the man looked altered somehow.
He looked like a more advanced version of a human! Like a
genetically altered human! He wondered if he was now a new form of
species of human?
    The man spoke strangely and with some
trouble, and showed that he had some bad disability.
    “ Who are you? ” Merton asked him, first.
    “ What year is this? ” he replied, holding himself
upright in pain.
    When Merton told him he was stunned and
collapsed across the floor, and sounded as though he was dieing,
and the scientists started helping him and phoning for medical
support.
    Many studied his body and found what they
believe was improvements to it, and he had been altered into a more
advanced human, but even with his improvements they knew he was
about to die, and they saw the artifact and that it had been
destroyed.
    After seeing everything, and knowing the
outcome, Mortimer swiftly began questioning him, trying to get as
much as he could from him. All their work could be meaningless if
they never got answers to what had occurred and where he had come
from!

    The Time Traveler
     
    The time
traveler launched and vanished into the past leaving all the people
at the launch site gasping from the pure magnitude of the forces
and explosive exit, and it became clear to everyone that the
colossal expense, time and trouble, and vast dangers to the time
traveler would end time travel.
    The world’s
first time machines were time probes and were original used to
probe the near future, where they were recovered within days, and
had their accuracy and recordings checked. Most vanished
completely, and the ones that were recovered showed why they were
only random lucky arrivals, and many that appeared were detected at
sites all over the world, with the majority damaged in
collisions.
    The time
traveler and time machine mission had taken many years of work, and
a great deal of information also had to be accumulated as they had
been trying to discover a time disturbance that had been
