[ WP ] A neuroscientist finds data stored in human DNA . When it 's deciphered , it appears to be a file named README.txt

I knew it would n't be long until I was done for the night, but another hour poking around someone's brain meant another hundred dollars in my wallet. Working in an organ transplant lab was never my intent when I was younger, but hey, it pays the bills! The lab was empty, and as everyone else was packing up and heading home for the weekend, while I was patiently waiting for that last living brain that would be carted into my office. What would be wrong with this one I thought - Cancer? A tumor? You never really can tell until those tests come back, like winning a lottery, a lottery of life and death for someone else. 
 
 I waited a good twenty minutes, until the brain was finally carted in. *'' Finally'' * I thought, as I hooked up the brain to the neuro-bands and started the preliminary scan. After about 10 minutes, with a loud *'' BEEP*'' from the speakers at my station, my scan was done. I did n't see anything odd at first, until I looked at the inner-core scan. I peered at the coding on the screen and saw something quite peculiar near the end of the DNA strand code... 
 
 *''... aaatccREADME.txt'' * 
 
 Was this a mistake in the scan? Did my machine malfunction? I had no idea what to think at this point, and there was no one else that would be able to help me out if this was a malfunction. I decided it would be best to just mouse over the text to manually delete it from the scan, and then I would just call it a night. However, when I moused over it, the README.txt line of code was able to be clicked on! As my index finger trembled over the left-click of my computer mouse for a good 2 minutes, I finally decided to give it a go. I pressed down on my mouse, and firmly gave it a *Click*, as a window popped open on my screen, and a few lines of text started to type, all on its own... 
 
 *'' Thank you for accessing the MZ-3024 - external memory video database. `` * 
 
 *'' Compiling internal storage...'' * 
 
 *'' Initiating files for playback...'' * 
 
 *'' Coding years 3000 through 3100...'' * 
 
 I looked at the screen, eyes wide open - I could n't believe what I was seeing. Did someone find a way to compile visual memories into a brain? A brain chip?... that was from the future?! The year was only 2035, with the year 3000 still being over nine-hundred years away. My screen had tons of code processing up and down the screen for a good five minutes, as I watched in confusion and awe. The scanning process finally stopped and all I saw on the black screen were the words: 
 
 *'' Playback files ready... would you like to proceed? [ Y/N ]'' *. 
 
 I hovered my mouse pointer over the `` Y'', then the `` N'', and back to the `` Y'' again. I did n't know what to do... what consequences would unfold from the wrong decision... what would happen if I chose to open this file... My index finger trembled over my the left-click of my computer mouse. Finally after about five minutes of processing this all through my head, and moving my mouse pointer back and fourth like a madman... I pressed down on the left side of my mouse, and firmly gave it a *Click*.
