Ken belonged to a group of researchers in his college who were given an assignment to make a tiny tracker that could be attached to the human hair. Blux is the leader of the group and he was very ambitious.
Few weeks into the research and laboratory test, Blux started receiving calls and mails from politicians and businessmen over some pieces of the tracker.
Mayor Hassan was one of the people on queue to get some of the tracker from him. Blux did not carry any of the members of the research group on these numerous requests. He wanted to take all profits for his personal use.
All the while, the research was still on to perfect the tracker because the radar to be traced needed some microbe electrons for visibility and Ken was more knowledgeable in creating electronic radar.
On the eve of concluding the electronic microbe, Ken dabbled on Blux's computer and found the several mail and the replies he gave to the intending business partners. He left the laboratory in the bid to discontinue working with the group.
He was so angry that other members of the group noticed that his countenance had changed, questioned him as to the reason why he doesn't look happy but Ken just kept mute, marked his belongings and walked towards the door.
They stopped him because they knew he had the knowledge of other components of the tracker. His leaving could hamper the success of the project. Good or bad, they have to complete this together. While they were still appealing for him to stay, Blux came in and met the scene.
Instantly, he knew that Ken had seen something on his PC. He shouted on top of his voice:
Ken!!! Why didn't you respect my privacy? Whatever you see there is personal stuff and does not affect whatever we do as a group ok.
Blux was able to calm Ken. Everyone got back to work except Ken who decided never to tongue his hundred percent knowing that Blux was just using the group to enrich himself.
The project was completed but the radar could not be seen after a hundred kilometres away from the control tower. So, the project can't be referred to as completed so to say.
Reddington College called stakeholders in the automobile industry, and other organisations that are interested in buying a tracking device. They made a lot of money from the presale and Reddington college became the talk of the town for producing a software tracker device for mobile phones and motor vehicles.
After the launching, Ken asked his parents to withdraw him from Reddington. It is the worst request Ken ever made to his parents.
Why do you want to leave at this time the school is on the billboard. And your inputs are part of the success story.
His parents did not consent to his plea.
One morning, Ken refused to open the door to his room because he was trying to play truant or deviant to resuming at Reddington.
Now, they saw that he was determined not to resume at Reddington. His mother, Theresa softly spoke through the door to his room telling him he would get what he wanted.
Barely one month after the launch of the tracker, people who used the device started returning it to the marketers stating that it didn't meet up with the demands they posted before they purchased the device.
Trouble is looming.
The news was all over the town that the Reddington tracker project was a failure. And Ken, who ought to design an electronic microbe that could be tracked from thousands of miles away from the control tower, had left Reddington.
It has become a tough time for the students and staff of the college. Some members of the group came together and decided to visit Ken and plead with him to come back to the research group.
He wanted to save Reddington from the disgrace. With the consent of his parents, Ken decided to meet with the principal and management of the college before he would agree to join the research group again.
At the board meeting, Ken requested that the perfection needed for the tracker is a simple application but he wanted it to be televised and under strict security. He was of the opinion that the project is a matter of intellectual property and must not be hijacked by any single individual.
All parties agreed and the concluding session of the project was televised and followed by the world. Ken became prominent and the Reddington college fave was saved from shame.
Blux never had the opportunity to get rich from the collective effort of the group. And Ken never returned to Reddington because he felt Blux could do something dangerous to him.
