Mind tricks

"This is interesting," Derek muttered with raised brows, before him stood a strange machine, magnificent in its way. On the wide platform in the middle of this cave-like place, a ring-like structure exuded such an old and awe-inspiring aura, the rings were massive much bigger than a human and they were three, crossed against each other and there was a space in the middle with a smaller machine which glowed with dim blue light running along its ceramic ivory surface.

"Take off your top and go there, please hurry," the man said as he walked to the table and took a pad, with some taps, the machine came alive giving low hums which reverberated through the cave.

Walking to the middle of the machine, Derek lay on the ivory surface and a deep blue glass covered him, from the outside view it was like Derek was soaked in water.
