[ WP ] The world wasnt always in colour . In fact , it was black and white before the 1930s and now someone is uncovering hints of a conspiracy .

`` James, take a look at this.'' A mousy haired woman with thick glasses called out. None of her co-workers would call her particularly attractive, but that is only because they had n't seen her outside of the lab. She was bent over a microscope. 
 
 James, a middle aged man who had lost the majority of his hair already, rolled his chair over. Sasha shot a quick glance of judgement his way, always frustrated with his cavalier attitude. It would n't be a problem, except just last week he had knocked over one of only two samples doing the same thing. 
 
 James, as always oblivious to social cues when he was absorbed in his work, took over Sasha's spot and looked at the sample. His breath caught sharply as he looked up. 
 
 `` It's true.'' 
 
 Sasha smiled. `` It seems so.'' 
 
 James leaned back in his chair, his fingers interlaced behind his head. His eyes stared at the ceiling as his mind started to put all of the details in order. After a minute he turned back to Sasha. `` A world without color. It really was black and white.'' 
 
 `` Well, not quite,'' Sasha quipped. 
 
 James smirked. `` Alright, then to be correct, we saw it that way. Might as well be the same. The thing is, who changed it?'' 
 
 Sasha shrugged. `` I do n't know. I do n't even know why.'' 
 
 James bit his lip. `` At this point, it does n't matter. The fact is, humans at one point, only saw black and white. And someone introduced a virus that mutated our DNA to add cones.'' James looked worriedly at Sasha. `` What else can they do?'' 
 
 Sasha shook her head. `` The real question is, what else have they done.''
