Development
“Thank you. Sorry to make you all worried.”“No need to mention. We all had done what the friends should be.”“Mr. President, may I remind you that he is still recovering . I would suggest minimizing his workload for the mean time.”“Yes, Doctor Zyne.” Playing along with her.“Did something happen that I need to know? ”Mr. Scarface toying with us.“No. I mean nothing.” Avoiding Zyne, sharp look.“I think that I need to go now. My big boss is already here. So, I need to bid goodbye for now.” Addressing Zyne.“And I wish that I will not see you again here." Zyne smiled in Mr. Scarface's direction, dismissing my presence.As my reaction to Zyne, I came out first from the room without saying anything to her.Mr. Scarface slowly followed my lead. “I am very much like the development of your relationship.”“Who ar
SURPRISE GUEST
“That’s good to hear. Can I ask, what's bothering you? I am telling you you cannot lie to me.” She steps forward at my side. “Come on. I am willing to listen. We are here to help you.”“I know, and I greatly appreciate it. I know that but…”“Come on. You know that I am not talkative like my brother," as she is trying to cheer me up."Well... I am just surprised about how visionaries trusted me. We all know that I am not an original member of your group, not to mention that I am a former member of Atheos.”She just smiles and touches my shoulder. “You still do not realize. It is the main reason they trusted you this much. For the reason that you are the one who can understand them. You've been betrayed by friends and colleagues. Abandoned by the society that you served. Then now, you are still asking why? ” “Hearing those words from you. Yes, you are right I am just t
The prisoner
My answer makes him smile. “Avoiding a serious talk. It seems that you are worried about something that goes beyond "visionaries."Hearing how he can easily read me did not surprise me. He had a long experience of being one of the best investigators in Atheos. No wonder.I release a deep sigh. "Sorry, but I think it is not the right place to talk about it.”“Hmmm. Oh! I already know. It is about Zyne.”“How could you? I could not continue my words; I felt that I fell into his trap.“You cannot keep any secrets from me anymore. Your brother was my long-time colleague. That is the reason why I can easily spot the difference between the two of you.”“And what is the connection? ”Giving him an intense look."It's your first time to experience this kind of emotion. Am I right? ”“I have no idea what you are talking about. ”“To be accountable to oth
THE SECRET OF THE PAST
“I am grateful He excitedly showing us the results of his investigation of the information from Gen. Lerant.We are sitting encircling the table.Mr. Scarface suddenly stood up. “ What is this?! A Genetic manipulation?”“ Research for possible genetic manipulation. They use the children of the doers as subjects of their experiment.”I fell silent in what I am hearing.“Reginald Regerry uses this experiment to gain immortality. What the heck? What is he thinking? Using the innocent lives for his selfish desire.”I can see sense the hatred in Mr. Scarface’s trembling voice.“Yes. Since it goes for a long time. You can imagine how many lives are being wasted. How many families are suffering because of him?”“You can still call him, human?” Mr. Scarface are now looking for me.“He is a monster! He had no reason to live!”“We need
WHERE THE TRUE POWER
“Maybe you are right. I need to talk to Dean. We need to plan how we can use this information against Atheos.”“Do not worry about Dean. You know that he is impulsive sometimes. But you can deny the fact that he is willing to sacrifice all for the sake of visionaries."“That is the reason that makes me afraid, sometimes. They are so passionate about their cause.”“Oh. Are you talking about Zyne? Let me guess, you are wondering how she would treat you if she discovered the truth about you.“No. I am already preparing for that, and I know it will happen. A reality that I cannot escape."“How am I wishing that it will never happen? ”I just smile at him.“We should now start in the preparation in facing the council."“Yes, I know.”A moment later.I am here standing at the front of Dean’s office. Even though there is something in me trying
SECRET ALLIANCE
Just a little bit, I am in my limitation. “So, you are suggesting launching an attack on the very center of Atheos? Then what will happen? Our complete annihilation because we do not have the same machinery and number of combatants. Also not mentioning getting the attention of the Galactic Empire of the Colonies. May I remind everyone here of the main reason that we are here still alive? They treated us like bandits. They are thinking we do not have the capability to overthrow the government. They just see us as slaves rebelling against our owners.”They all fell silent.“Showing them our true capability also means asking the empire for support for the Atheos. The loss of our cause and wasting all the sacrifices of all the people who lost their lives.”They are now thinking.“Yes, that's right. As your main strategist, I also share the same view as our leader. Knowing better than anyone here the true military capability of At
Prelude
“I could not hide the participation of my father in the research of Gen. Lerant.”“So, it will be easier for me to explain what I found out about Doctor Inno. Your father.”“Yes. You have nothing to worry about my connection in the research.”“Technically, you do not have anything to do with the research except being the son of the main researcher.”I am trying to know what information he had in his hand. “Yes, but I do not want to add any colors to your investigation.”What do you mean by that? ”“I know the reason why you are here. You wanted to know my reaction about what you discovered.”“Are you sure of that? I will share it with the council. It can be used against you. You already know that you have secret enemies within the Visionaries.”"Yes, you are right. But I do not want to use my position to protect me or my family. It is a fo
Complexities
“Is this about my sister? Do not take it personally. I tried to explain to her. But it is of no avail. She is saddened because of our personal experience. Like you already know, our parents were also executed because my father slept on his duty. Thankfully, Mr. Mechanic rescued us.”“I needed to admit she has a point. I want to also rescue them, but the situation is dangerous.”“I know. I understand you. Not mentioning that you had a problem that needed your attention.”“Did Mr. Scarface already tell you? ”“About Dr. Inno, your father. Yes, he already told me that you do not have any idea about his works.”Mr. Scarface is trying to protect my secret. I am thankful that he is, but I know that I need to face it. Not for now, but for the near future.“No. Not about it. But his recent discovery about his excellency Reginald Regerry.”“About Atheos?! I do not ha
Who are you?
“You are a product of genetic modification. You and your brother Ishvah, here lies your father’s secret. I did not find out about it easily because it is in another storage. But here it is," Dean said, showing me the material.“Okay. What are you planning to do now? To whom will you give me? Atheos or the council? ”“Your reaction is telling me that you already know about this.” Dean could not contain his disbelief."Let's see that I already had the suspicion that you are not normal.”“But it is not enough. Wait. I remember your brother. Hence, if you are a product of genetic modification, how could he become a doer? It means he tricks the system? ”Mr. Scarface did not say anything. He's just watching us.“Yes, you are right. And my family knows about this.”“Thinking about your brother. “He is more dangerous than Regerry Reginald. I am saddened that he is
The Ghost from The Past
“Are you asking me to punish you? It is clear to me that you are not my enemy. What could happen to our group if we are the ones punishing each other? The law that we chose to follow was made to protect, not to punish.”“I remember someone because of your words.”“Are you convinced now that I am someone you can trust? ”There is a hint of playfulness in her voice.“Oh! Now, I understand the intention behind this conversation. You are here to gain my trust? ”“Not only that. I need to admit as a doctor I am not only concerned about your physical well-being. I am also concerned about your mental health. I deeply understand how important your decision is. I want to make sure that you are capable of making sound decisions."She smiles at me. I can sense her genuine care.“I appreciate your concern. You have nothing to worry about. There are people around me, which includes you, that alwa
