Dr. Steven Martin's eyes were filled with the bright gleam of excitement as he spoke into the camera that Jake, his lab assistant, was holding. "This is Dr. Steven Martin, and I'm very excited to tell you that today is the day when I will test the device I detailed in video log numbers 111 and 112. As I said before, due to certain variables inherent in the equations used to create this device, I'm still not entirely certain what it will do once activated. I have however been able to determine that the device poses no discernible threat to myself, my assistant Jake, or to the greater Los Angeles area. My current theory is that the device will prove to either be a gravity distortion device, or a time dilation device. Needless to say either of these two outcomes would have far reaching effects on well....everything. So, without further wasting of time I'm going to begin activation procedures and we're gonna see just what this thing does!"<br/><br/>With that Steven turned around and began flicking switches on a small control panel standing next to a large machine which appeared to be made of a single circular metal tube connected to several large capacitors. As he continued to work the control's Steven kept talking to the camera. "Now the machine in-front of me is merely to provide the initial surge of power needed to jump start the device I've built. The device itself is roughly the size of an old model cellular phone and can be seen currently on the table to my right." Steven pointed to the device (http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/7223/dsc02185r.jpg) as he said this last part. Making it evident that he wanted Jake to get a shot of it. "So far, all of my calculations point to the device being able to tap into naturally occurring fluctuations in the ambient energy levels around it in order to activate and either alter gravity...or time.  That having been said I've also worked in a small enough capacitor to allow the device to manually activate after a preset amount of time, in this case that amount is 20 minutes. Manual activation of the device at any sooner time could potentially damage it in ways that I cannot predict at this time... It should be activating any second now"<br/><br/>A few seconds later the devise on the table sprang to life, it's controls and display lit up, and it activated. Creating a vortex in front of Steven and Jake. This would have been the fist tentative steps in an entirely undocumented branch of science that had only once before ever been tapped into on their earth. Sadly, fate had other plans. A faulty part within one of the capacitors caused the power levels flowing to the generator to become unstable. The increase in power flow caused two very adverse and unpredicted side effects. The first was that not one, but several vortexes now appeared, and the second was that these vortexes possessed their own small gravity wells, causing them to forcibly pull objects around them inside of them with a force that could not be resisted.<br/><br/>The first person to experience this was Steven, given how close he was to original vortex. He had less than few seconds to realize what was happening, just enough time to utter "oh shit!" before he was pulled into the portal with the timer being sucked in right behind him<br/><br/>
