I skim over Chris’s shoulder as he reads Dr Kapur’s report out loud:

Three of the subjects returned with the full effects of future shock and re of their time in the future But two of the subjects returned with lesser ue information about their experiences It should be noted that these two subjects were the youngest, at only twenty-two and twenty-three years of age From the tests we’ve conducted, it appears that the time dilation is too difficult for the adult brain to overcoe brains are still developing, they may not have these probleer subjects be found for the next trial Ideally below the age of thirteen, though it e or obtain valuable information from them

“This is it!” Trent says “We can use this as evidence”

“Hang on to this” Chris hands me the report and then opens the last file: our file And it’s all there—our bios, our medical records, brain scans from before and after, and finally Dr Kapur’s report from after we returned

Despite the nor from their time in the future However, none of them suffer from the confusion and paranoia common in the previous subjects, and they appear to retain their memories from before their visit to the future This seeer the subject, the fewer effects of future shock they will experience As such, I recoer subjects…

“Noretting everything”

Zoe nods “Keep going”

We flip through the report, but there’s nothing about Dr Kapur or Aether planning to kill us If they did it, they didn’t leave a record of it behind I pocket the report anyway

Chris turns to the last report in the file, written by Lynne about our deaths I suck in a breath, knohat’s co, what the others will learn, but it’s too late to stop them now

Dr Kapur theorizes that Elena—possibly due to her eidetic est effects of future shock, yet also re in extreme paranoia and confusion With her history of violent behavior, it seems likely she turned on the other subjects in this confused state and then took her own life once she realized what she had done We are unsure why the final subject, Adam O’Neill, was unharmed With this unfortunate turn of events and the loss of the accelerator due to Dr Walters’s outburst, it is my recommendation that Project Chronos be concluded

“Elena, what is this?” Zoe asks, her voice high-pitched
