DREAM: Projector Protector

DREAM: Projector Protector

I was in a middle school. Perhaps High school. My classmates and I were having a grand time in the pool. The teachers were not around. It was a high tech indoor pool with lots of fountains and little pools shaped sort of like a amphitheater with the swimming areas facing a stage. Presumably where the the teachers would be if they had been there. There were lots of boys and lots of girls and things being what they were we all decided to go skinny dipping. We were frolicking and playing when our quad copters warned us that the teachers were coming.

Now, our quad-copters were our baby sitters and police guards. They were there to make sure that we didn't do anything wrong or evil. They had powerful projectors built in to their hovering forms and they were forever projecting lessons or rules on the walls and pavements or other students to keep us in line. Well, until I hacked into their systems and made them our obedient slaves. Now they warned us of approaching peril. But too late !! We would never have time to get our bathing suits on in time..... unless. I ordered the circling quad-copters to use their 3D projecting powers to make it look like I was wearing a swim suit. Instantly my torso was clad down to my lower thigh in what was apparently black swim shorts. The door was opening !! I order the copters to cloth the rest of my classmates (1 piece modesty for the young ladies). Of course, all of the frivolity had stopped and everyone was pretending to be practicing when the teachers came fully in to the room. They looked a little surprised, but then they looked proud and they told us how wonderful we were and that we should take the afternoon off for being so trustworthy.

Well. We all went back to our dorms now clad in our real clothing. But I got to thinking, what could this projecting power really do. I mean what could it REALLY do? Could it.... make us invisible? My friends and I snuck out of the dorm and I ordered the every present quad-copters to project onto us the perfect views of the surrounding landscape. Rendering us invisible. It worked better than I could imagine. Suddenly I could not see my friends. Why, I couldn't even see my own legs !! So we started out across the campus. And quickly came afoul of each other because.... well... because we were invisible. This is never going to work.

My best friend suggested we should get underneath a sheet and let the copters project on that. Then we could see each other (and our feet). We did this and it worked great. I cold see my friend, I could see my feet, and the light through the sheet was enough to navigate by.

We ran into some teachers at one time, but we just knelt in the grass being invisible until they passed by. Good old quad-copters!
