Misconceptions are every where.
Preconceived ideas, prejudices and biases lead us to them. For instance many people around the world who haven't been to , suppose that people in India still travel on elephants. In turn many people in India believe that people in London still live in palaces. The whole world shares this image for African forests - the tribes paint their faces weird, catch a prey and do the weird habuda habuda dance around the feather crowned king.
Even the men of science, are not very misconception-proof . Having seen star wars and star trek and having read innumerable science fiction novels, they believe that teleporters, if possible would be as easy as press a button and whoosh!.
Of the many thoughts that crossed Mine's mind, none was even remotely close to " Could I have been a guinea pig for a teleportation project,which assumed that I would teleport from point init to point fin (which were located in the same laboratory room )in a fraction of a second." "But the predictions got all wrong and it took an hour instead.This in turn left me in the jungles of Africa. In the absence of the receiving team to stabilize me , I could have fallen into coma, and now I may be dying."
It was Kid, who, even though never yet wrong, had not become complacent. He had remembered to put the tag right in Mine's brain before the teleporting .
They were happy that they found Mine, but afraid because they found him almost dead.
