Introduction
The modern world as we see wouldn't exist without us. From the most common appliances and gadgets to the more complicated machineries and systems which kept the whole world revolving. With our absence it wouldn't be any surprise if the current technology would still comprise of tools made of stone and wood. We we’re that important according to a certain someone who taught me everything I know.
The Field of Medicine which focused solely on regenerative technology, cultivating lab grown tissues and organs from individual cells recovered from the patient's body. And of course the ever so controversial research on antiviral medicine for notorious strains of viruses like the Human Immunodeficiency virus.
Developing hybrid crops by engineering the genotype of a plant sample, effectively enhancing the resilience and rate of growth. Consequently yielding more profits and providing a whole lot more nutrients for those who are in need.
Extremely durable alloys and conductors made from unlikely materials that we wouldn't consider useful. Developing them further until they’re standards were satisfied, the field of industrial research.
And lastly the most profitable of them all, warfare technology. Funded by the most powerful countries in the world, researchers would go through thick and thin in order to develop the most deadly and the most destructive creations of mankind. Be it automatic rifles for the infantry or weapons of mass destruction capable of reducing a nation into dust with only the push of a button. Nothing would stop them since achieving with the creation of a single approvable one would give them the freedom pass, making it possible for them to pack up their luggage full of money and leave this stressing place be.

But was it really that simple? One would undoubtedly ask.
From learning the basics up until the formulation of a new theory, the journey of a human pursuing such a career would surely be bumpy. A road full of rugged rocks and ditches that impedes the smooth trip from the starting point up to the finish line. Years after years, one could remain stuck in the middle of the journey while others couldn’t even leave the starting line.
People might think that our lives were quite dull, our daily schedules only consisting of mealtimes, bedtimes and time allocated for testing prototypes.
Nevertheless, entering this institution was a blessing among all blessings. For I who was always fascinated by the unknown, being a member of the major league would surely satisfy my greatest desires.
The unending days of coming up with an outrageous but hypothetical idea, confirming the possibilities theoretically and implementing them in real life models for further testing. Such peaceful days I would trade anything for it to continue forever.
But nothing was permanent, everything would always be subjected to change. And this change wasn't a common one, for it greatly altered how I viewed things.
