Description

What would it take for the entire world to decide the death penalty was the only appro-priate response to murder? Quite without meaning to, high energy physicists discovered the answer three years ago with the discovery of the Elysium Chamber. An offshoot of clean energy research, the chamber was designed to be the most humane system of execution possible, instantly dissociating the convict's constituent cells at a molecular level. The first execution was preformed in Iraq in 2013; the world hardly took notice as the chamber simply vanished the man in a haze of electrons, but disinterest turned to shock when every person he had ever murdered reappeared, naked and confused in the hills outside Basra at precisely the instant he was executed...

That was three years ago; since then the world has adapted and changed, and now hunt-ing down murderers is the prime focus of law enforcement and reality TV worldwide. Too often, however, there's not enough evidence to convict. In such cases, knowing reunion is only a blast of protons and a bribe away, how far would you go in a desperate attempt to bring back the ones you love?
