We walked to the other end of the hallway, which was about 100 meters long, passing a set of doors on each side about every 10 meters. The hallway ended at another glass door. A larger room was on the other side of the door; inside of it were arrays of monitors, strange, vintage-looking dials, keyboards inlayed into an expansive desktop/workspace, and most notably, a large glass observatory window. I couldn't see what the observatory window looked out upon from the hallway.

"We wanted you to see just how big this facility is, first," the woman told me. "There is a lot of international money tied into Synchro Systems research, regardless of what you might have read in the press."

"What's your name?" I asked her.

She paused, looking at me as if I were stupid.

"Here's our door," she said, instead of answering, opening the door immediately behind her instead of the glass door that led to the observatory and controls room. We stepped into a small office. Inside, it was set up quite similarly to a physician's exam room. The kinds of things you'd find inside of an exam room were in there, anyway, and it appeared that there were medical supplies of some sort behind the translucent cabinet doors inside of the room. "Have a seat," she said, nodding her head towards the exam bench.

"I'll stand," I answered.

Can the past be changed?
