Later that night there was a meeting on the top floor of the highest building in the city between the people responsible for the future attack. In the room were Mr. Basilius, Mr. Elred, Mr. Filibert, Dr. Rob, and two of his assistants. Mr. Elred who was the CEO of the “Company” spoke first:
“Gentleman, thank you for coming tonight. As you all know, on Monday morning we will be launching our first project. Its aim is to alter how people think and most importantly, from their perspective, these new feelings and thoughts would feel natural as their own. We all have to be ready for mass confusion and evacuation if the project fails. This of course would be the worst—case scenario. The aim of our experiment if I may say is to send frequency waves, which would affect the citizens. All our thoughts, sensations, and actions arise from bioelectricity generated by neurons and transmitted through complex neural circuits inside our brains. That would allow us to tap easily into the brains of the people. These frequency signals would be sent not only by us, but also when an individual picks up the frequency, he would retransmit it over to another person, and that would cover the whole city or maybe more. If the test is successful, in the future we could cover half of the globe. On Monday before the experiment, we would move to a safety base twenty meters below the surface. All our families would be safe. If everything goes right, we would be entering a new era of massive global dictatorship where we could have anything we ever wished for. If that happens, I will inform “them” of our success and they will give us instructions for the second project. There will be no need for money in the future. We will create a society based on our needs. We would have whatever we need, just by controlling their emotions and thoughts. The project “Fading Nation” took many years to develop but finally we could be able to taste its fruits. Are there any questions?” No one asked questions. Then Mr. Elred gave everyone a plan of action, schedules, and directions for the safety bunker. “Inside these folders you will find everything you need to know. If you want to ask something later, do not hesitate to do so. I am very excited about the chance to be the one who is in charge of the whole operation and to be a witness of the beginning of a new era. Now gentleman if there is nothing more to discuss I would say we meet in the bunker Monday early morning as it is stated in the documents.” They all left the room except Dr. Rob and Mr. Elred.
“Mr. Elred, everything is according to schedule. The subject is acting and receiving orders according to the plan, soon we will catch the “rebels.”
“Very well doctor. We will be ready for them.” After that little conversation, Dr. Rob left the room and headed to his lab. Everything was ready for Monday and Mr. Elred was excited as a little child. There was a risk but he was willing to take it.
Alan was preparing himself mentally for Sunday. He knew the danger of a failure, but he did not allow these feelings to dwell into his mind for long. All they had to do was to destroy the machine. Their original plan faded on the scale of the destruction, which this device could cause in the minds of the people. Every effort was focused on the plan for stopping the “Company.” In his home, Adonis was sitting in front of a big statue of Buddha, praying for the good of the human kind. The same were doing all of them, praying, believing in the oneness of the Universe. The “warriors” could not allow the balance to be broken. They were living on the same planet and were part of the same thing. A success of the “Company” plan could mean a total domination over the human mind and soul. They could feel it in the air. For how can one be unable to realize himself? Everyone was with their closest people. Chris asked his family to come one day earlier. Miguel's closest friends were also coming on Saturday. Anika went back home together with Alan to see her parents and then they were going to visit Alan's. Adonis, Heops, and Kane were all praying for the good of the people. In a situation like this, all a person could do is to gather his courage, believe in his abilities, and act as if the whole Universe is with and within him.
CHAPTER 16
“Blue Vision”
Early on Friday morning Alan and Anika woke up and started dressing up. They got in Alan's car and drove off from their home. The trip took around thirty minutes when they stopped close to the river, just outside of the city. They got off and slowly started walking towards the bank. Anika saw many little candles, lid together with flowers, placed on around thirty meters long black marble alongside the river. There were couple of people kneeling and praying, looking down and then up at the sky. The only time they would come here was when things were very complicated and when there was no hope in the hearts of the people. The sun was slowly rising. They stopped walking and Alan kneeled in front of couple of candles. He took a lighter, lid couple of them, closed his eyes, and became quiet. Anika kneeled next to him and looked at the sunrise. Both were silent, feeling the energy that created everything. Little wind was playing with Anika's hair locks, slightly touching her face, slowly bringing the smell of the new day. Existence was settling in their dream reality. Both felt alone, as if they were left there with no hope. Alan placed his hands on his knees and sighed. Everything could go wrong and everything could go right, they had to choose which version they would prefer. More and more people were coming to pray. This was every morning when the weather was allowing it and sometimes even when the weather was bad. This was giving them strength to continue when life was getting unbearable. Alan opened his eyes and looked forward. His look was not focused on anything in particular. He let his emotions to guide him.
It was time for them to go. They stood up and looked at each other. Then realized that all they have been fighting for could end on Monday. Alan made a step forward and hugged Anika. For couple of moments they managed not to think of anything. It was a moment worth feeling. Both started walking back to their car. He ignited the engine and started their journey back home. Suspended in their car, they were slicing the time but still it was the same moment.
Alan decided to visit Alberi for last time before the operation. They stopped next to his house and walked towards it. Alan got suspicious when he saw the front door open that early in the morning. He told Anika to stay outside while he was going to check inside. Alan opened the door and entered the house. He switched the lights on and in front of him, he saw the old man lying on the floor, not moving. He immediately called an ambulance and luckily, they were just five minutes from there. He checked for a pulse and eye movement. The old man was not breathing and his pupils were non—responsive. He opened his shirt and tried to resuscitate him, but without success. His friend was dead. The paramedics came but they were unable to do anything, just confirmed the hour they found him and possible time of the death. They took him away.
Alan was deeply hurt inside. His longtime friend was dead and he could do nothing about it. ” This is not happening,” he thought to himself looking outside through the window. Anika was next to him, trying to feel what Alan was going through. At this time, he thought he didn't know what to believe anymore, whether there was a God or whether we were responsible for everything, which happens to us. He always thought he would be there when his friend is in trouble or needing help. Alas, the real life sometimes is not as we wish it to be. The police arrived, sealed the house, and started their investigation. The detectives took them to the police station for details and let them go a couple of hours later. For Alan everything was happening so fast. Like a movie projecting in front of him, like a dream from which he would wake up any second. But wasn't it all a dream? Was not this what he was wishing for, and all this was a consequence of his actions…?
Alberi was able to perform incredible things. He could tap into the collective spirit of the one, and see and hear things, which were happening at that moment. Perhaps he knew too much, perhaps he was threatening the “Company.” It could be anything. Later the same day Alan planned to go back to look for clues, which the old man might have left for him just in case something happens to him.
At around 9 p.m. Alan and Kane went to search the house. There was nobody around. They made
it safely without being noticed, and entered inside. The old man was living simple and humble life. He had a son who was outside the country at the time, but Alan did not know where he was. Apart from his son, he had no other relatives or friends. He had a wife who passed away couple of years ago. After her death, Alberi concentrated on his work of developing a way to get in touch with the one, which he thought should be the main purpose of everybody else. “Everybody sooner or later returns to God, because all paths lead to him,” he used to say, remembered Alan. His house was a representation of himself. Simple furnishing without television, little radio from one side of the kitchen table, there were no modern electrical devices or stylish furniture. The old man believed that the more objects you own the more detached you will become with yourself and the objects will soon possess you.
Long time ago Alberi dug a secret passage under his house, which was leading to a room five meters under the ground, where he stored his secret papers and tools. It was a place, which no one outside his family had to know about. As Alan and Alberi became good friends, Alberi trusted him and revealed to him his only secret. The old man felt Alan as his own son. With time, Alan learned a lot from his friend, sharing same interests he became Alberi's apprentice. He revealed to the young man the secrets of existence and helped him find the balance in his life.
Now Alan felt alone, with no one to share his ideas, he was wondering if there was a message left for him. He went to the front corridor and lifted one of the pots from the floor. Underneath was a button, which was inside the wooden floor and its outlines were invisible to the naked eye. He pressed it and a crack was heard inside the house. One of the kitchen's cabinets sank, and revealed a secret little door in the middle of the room. Alan walked in first, managing to pass through the little entrance. Kane followed him. Both were walking downwards through the corridor that was well lighted, when at the end, they found themselves in a medium size room. They were surprised to find out that the old man kept this place in such a great order. Everything was well arranged and had its own place. The men started looking for messages or clues, which could lead them to something important. After searching for about an hour without success, frustrated with the situation, they sat on the floor. Alan spotted on his left side a bookshelf and on the last shelf, there were glasses. He remembered couple of years ago, the old man told him: sometimes you don't need to see properly if you have problems. Somehow, this triggered his curiosity and took the glasses. He put them on but nothing, looked around but still nothing different happened. They were on the same square one. He sat on the floor and started banging his head on his knees trying to think of something, which could help them.
“Maybe the old man didn't leave us a clue in a first place. Maybe he didn't know they were coming for him and had no time to leave a message.”
“I am sure, just sure he would never leave me like that. There is something somewhere here and we need to find it.”
“Alan, I will leave you here to search for an answer, it's getting late, and I need to prepare myself. I will send a message to everyone to meet tomorrow at my place at six in the afternoon for final arrangement. We need to be sure that Azmo is also coming. He is our only chance to enter in that building.”
“Thank you Kane, I will contact Azmo and inform him about tomorrow.” When he left, Alan was on his own, sitting in the room with no answer to his feelings. ” There must be something,” he kept repeating to himself. ” If I were Alberi, how was I going to pass an important message without being found by anyone? Where would I hide it? What am I going to use for it,” he thought. Alan was asking all these questions himself, trying to think as the old man. On the desk behind Alan was a small picture of Alberi with his wife and Alan, sitting on a bench outside their house. “Where did you leave it old man, help me on that one, is there a clue somewhere in your house?” He stayed silent for a minute or two when he was struck by a strong jolt of electricity in his head and couple of vivid images started showing in front of his eyes. Alan saw himself together with the old man in this room. It was a long time ago when he was teaching Alan to understand the collective mind, which consisted of all human minds. He remembered him saying that no soul was lost when it leaves the physical body and they all connect to one place, from which they came in a first place. He once saw Alberi performing in front of him a connection to the mainframe. He tapped into the vastness of that beam of light, where he could connect with everything he needed and get any information he wanted. There were memories of our ancestors thousands of years ago, memories of the people from Lemuria and Atlantis. This suddenly struck Alan that if he could do the same, he could intend to receive a fraction of Alberi's memories and try to attract the information he needed. He immediately sat on a chair, closed his eyes, and slowly entered his dream state. Alan allowed himself to be guided to the information he needed at that time. In a sense, it was not his rational mind's decision but his soul was showing him where to go and what to see. After a short time, he found himself in a lab. He looked around, saw many experimental devices in the room and started examining each of them one by one, but found nothing strange. On one of the tables, there was a register with couple of names on it. He slowly started reading it and saw his name on the list. Why would his name be in the register in that lab? Could that be real? He continued looking around when suddenly saw the “Company” logo. ” That couldn't be possible,” he thought while dreaming. The next second he was standing in the middle of another lab. He recognized from the pictures that Azmo showed him, that this was the lab of the “Company.” At once, everything around him started melting. The walls were turning into something else, everything in the lab was transforming into different furniture. After couple of seconds, he was standing in the middle of a room, looking more like an office. The first thing he noticed was again the logo of the “Company” on the wall next to the door. He started looking around for clues or something, which could lead him to somewhere. He sat on the chair behind one desk and opened the first drawer. There were some papers and on top of them an envelope. He picked it up and took out all that was in it: photographs of different people from the “Company.” He froze when he saw a photo of the old man in the middle of a group of scientists. ” It was Alberi,” he thought. He started looking at the rest of the pictures and there were more photos of Alberi. One of them put a significant importance of the situation. He was pictured with the man with the tattoo. Alan quickly went through the rest, but found nothing that could explain why the old man was together with the scientist. On the top of the envelope was a date and it was 2033. “Ten years ago. That is before I met the old man. He was working for the “Company” and he didn't tell me? Was he trying to protect me, what was he doing there?” Alan asked himself. He opened the second drawer and found folders sealed with a stamp made of wax. Then opened one of them and inside he found secret documents about a project called “Blue Vision.” Alan started reading about a way to control the thoughts and the feelings of individuals by simply sending a radio waves on the frequencies, on which the brain was operating, thus changing the subject's behavior. It was explained that it could also be implied on a mass scale but further testing must be done. The director of the project was Alberi, famous scientist and experimentalist on human subjects. The more Alan was reading, the more he felt pain in his chest. Furthermore, he found out that the project has been terminated due to unknown reasons. He quickly searched the other two drawers but there was nothing interesting. Again, he experienced the room melting and he found himself in an open space. There was nobody and nothing there. He was completely alone in a total silence. From behind, he heard steps getting closer to him. He turned and it was his old friend Alberi.
“I am glad you found a way to find me here. It is the only place, where no one could follow us. By now, you should have many questions. Before you start, I would like to take you with me on a little journey.” They floated in space and appeared in a middle of a lab with couple of scientists conducting experiments on
two subjects. As they were standing behind them, Alberi continued:
“Do not worry, they could not hear us. As you already know, I was a lead scientist in the “Company,” conducting various experiments on human subjects. We were trying to understand how the mind was working and if it was possible to implant thoughts in the mind of a person remotely. It sounded ludicrous from the beginning but then the more we tried and experimented the more we started to see that it might be possible. We were failing repeatedly when one day I had a vision in my dream of a new way to do it. The very same day we had a positive result. We continued experimenting with different kind of animals and in the end with humans. The results were astonishing. We could alter the animal's state and completely change its behavior just by sending thoughts to their frequency ranges. We could reproduce all sorts of feelings. Soon we tried implanting thoughts into the minds of the human subjects. That did not work exactly as we planned it. They were becoming confused and soon were losing orientation and sense of reality. Couple of months passed before we finally could control the subjects. This was a complete success and everyone was very excited. Then the man who created the “Company” came and gave us instructions to prepare a plan for mass control over the population in the next couple of years. At first, I thought we could use that to implant positive thoughts to the people with psychological problems and that could alter their normal thought process and heal them. I made many attempts to explain to the people responsible for the project that we could not use the method to cause damage. If we were going to interfere in that way, we were going to destroy ourselves. I was not heard and soon they removed me from my position and sent me home. They warned me not to say anything about the project. I left and started living a quiet life in my old house. However, what they did not know was that I developed a method, which could allow me to see and hear any place in the earth by connecting to the infinite source of energy and thus being able to focus my attention in the direction I needed it to go. This allowed me to know how the project was developing. I brought you in here because it was vital for you to understand something that will not be easy. Look at the subject lying on the left bed. Go ahead. They cannot see you.”
