Wake Up And Run

Common Ground

Calm down, calm down. I repeated that to myself a few times, doing my best to calm myself, but waaaaaaw that is really awesome. Yes, that was the only thing that came to my mind, and I almost said it aloud, but luckily I didn't. Although it was apparent on my face, I came back to reality and out of my fascination when I heard Emika ask me, "Are you alright?" "I can understand you. How is that possible? ", surprised that within a few minutes I was able to overcome the biggest obstacle I was facing.

Instead of getting an answer from Emika, the AI in my head answered, "I have transferred Angariya's common language to your memory. That is why you can understand it. I transferred it to Broca's area, so you can speak it also. The next thing I heard was coming from Emika, saying, "Great, the chip we implemented was responsible for that. Being able to communicate was the reason we did it, and it can do many more. I believe it's already talking to you, and it can answer any questions you may have in the future." When she said that, she smiled at me for the first time.

A beautiful smile, it was in fact, "Let's get back to your room first and then we can talk." Then, she guided me back to the room we came from.

On the way, we were all silent, and I was thinking hard about everything that had happened so far, and so many questions were roaming in my mind, wondering where to start from. Officiously, I am not on earth.

The advancement of technology here was far and beyond what humans on Earth were capable of. It was only in science fiction movies and books, and apparently it is a common thing here, so the question is, where is it here? And how did I come here? Who brought me? And why? Will I get an answer to these questions?

Emika felt happy with her achievement and the success of the implementation they did for Aden. She hoped to get answers about his origin and how he came to this country. There was no need to question him about that, because all the information in his mind and memory was scanned and uploaded to the central intelligence center, which is the main frame where all the chips implemented in everything are collected and stored.

Of course, it is confidential and no one can access it without a proper cause and special authorization, but she is the head of security in the capital, so she has the proper authorization needed to fulfill her duties without so much red tape or obstacles. As soon as the chip in his head collected the information, she had immediate access to it.

The most strange thing was his memories, which included a lot of information about his original world, which fascinated her. Though technically they were far behind her world, all of his personal life was erased meticulously and precisely. Even though they didn't reach that type of technology, and what she saw in his world from his memory, they were not that advanced at all.

It was apparent that there was a third party involved, but who were they and why did they do that? That is a mystery that needs to be solved. From all aspects, he doesn't seem harmful by any means. Physically, he is weaker than the average human on this planet. She can't figure out his exact age, but his mental development and his physical appearance don't match at all.

That was also another issue that confused her a lot. As per the estimate of the chip, his brain development was around 14 years old, but his physical growth put him at around 18, as he grew up only physically in a rapid way and suddenly, and there is no technology that is capable of that she is aware of available on this planet.

She sent all the information she gathered, within the past few minutes to the council while she was taking him to his room. All she thought about doing was asking him what he knew. At least she knew that he was not aware that she already knew whatever he knew. So she could determine his honesty, and accordingly, she could figure out the next step of what to do.

When we reached the room, the first question that popped into my mind was, "My mind seems to be much clearer than before after the chip was implanted. Strangely enough, Any thought I think of comes to me without any effort or thinking hard.

My memory seems filled with all the information I have accumulated in my whole lifetime. Whatever is seen, read, or watched, everything is there on the tip of my head. The only thing that is missing is my personal life. It seems totally blank, with nothing at all. Who am I? How did I come here? Who brought me here and why?.

Now all I know is that I came from a planet called Earth. Back on Earth, most of us didn't believe that there was another alien life form in the galaxy. It was only fantasy and science fiction that brought us the concept for our only entertainment, though some of us, who are a minority, believed in aliens and UFOs, claiming they saw them, even some going as far as saying they had been abducted and being experimented on.

And the aliens were always creatures that came to invade earth, and mostly kill or eat humans. Now I am on a planet, and whomever I saw so far looked like a normal human to me. I don't know what lies beyond this gate of this city, though I wondered what the huge wall surrounding the city is preventing them from. That will be my next question.

As soon as we sat down on the sofas, I started asking. The list of the questions that were in mind was not in any order, even not one by one as common sense indicates, but I asked her all the questions at once.

She started laughing and laughing. I don't know what was funny in my questions, but that was not the response I was expecting from her, and it did make me confused. I had ased agia this only one question:

"What's so funny in my questions that made you laugh that much?"

My apologies, but the way you threw all these questions at me at once, and I had the same questions in my mind to ask you, that is what made me laugh.

"So you mean we both have the same questions, and none of us have answers."

"I regret to say so. "You are a mystery to all of us, and this is the first time such things have happened on this continent."

"At least tell me where I am."

"That I can answer for you, although you can now access all that information from the chip in your head." With a surprised look on his face, he asked, "You mean all the information about this land is in my head?"

Emika couldn't help but laugh once more. She started laughing, but she controlled herself and said, "Simply yes, not just this land but this whole planet's information is stored in a main station and you can access it through the chip in your brain." Of course, except the calcified information, anything else you can, that is again, of course, if you earn our trust. "

But let me give you some answers about this planet without bothering you with unnecessary information. This planet is called "Kyriagi."There are five major continents and a few islands. This continent is called Aldunina and on it there are three major kingdoms, a few other countries, and some independent settlements. " After pausing for a few seconds Emika continued explaining.

This kingdom is called Angariya, so welcome, and this is the capital city of the kingdom. Abjadiya.

You are currently a guest in the Tower, which is a city within the city where all the government facilities are. It's too early to explain everything at once, but for any more information, I would like to ask for your permission to scan and study all of your memories. About your life that you can't remember, your world, cultures, languages, and everything else. Aden, who couldn't hold himself, interrupted her, "Can you really do that?" "Can you find out what happened to me?"

Emika chuckled and told him, "Please don't get too excited. You couldn't even remember your own name, so I will be frank with you. Your memory has been tempered with, so there are a lot of things that have been erased, by whom or why. We have to figure out that together." Still, we can get a lot of information from whatever memories you have.

But I can't remember anything. I tried hard, but nothing came up. Aden, wondering how she could get out of memories that he doesn't have, smiled like she read his mind emika and said, "Excluding what's been erased, everything else is still there and the chip can access it. From whatever we collect, it will be shared with you and will be restored to you. That way, at least you will get part of the things that you can't even remember now." "So do we have your permission?"

A small light of hope came to Aden, and he agreed immediately, "Don't worry, whatever we find out, we will not use it without your permission, and it will not be used against you," assured him Emika. "I am not worried simply because I don't have anything to hide," replied Aden to Emika, excited that he may find something that can shed light on what is going on with him.

And there is this feeling he has been having, that there is something very important missing, that shouldn't be missing, something he should have had to take care of. He can't remember what it is, but the feeling is there and he is unable to shake it off.

...................

Suddenly, Emma had the same feeling Aden was having at the same time. There is something important she is missing. That feeling suddenly popped up in her mind, and she decided to make it her mission to find out what it is.
