Teleporter

I arrive to a large testing room with a gigantic glowing pad on the floor. There is a large terminal hooked up to it where Ming Zhao is typing away. She smiles as she sees me.

"Good! You're here! I present to you my teleportation device! A machine that can instantly transport a person from one end of the world to the next!"

I can hardly believe what I'm hearing. "You made a real teleporter?"

"Of course!" She says. "Can you imagine how this will revolutionize transportation for the world? People traveling or shipping supplies? It'll be a marvel!"

I stop for a minute. "So what do you need my help for?"

"Well, I need to properly test a human subject. So far, mice and boxes work great."

"Where will I be going?" I ask.

She waves her hand in dismissal. "A few blocks away, that's it."

I shrug and step on the pad. She works the buttons as the pad glows and hums.

"This won't turn out like "The Fly," will it?" I ask.

"I sincerely doubt it," she says.

I am unable to ask another question before she presses the final button.
