The images before her on the screen seemed familiar to Charu. The mysterious ladder went deep underground to almost the center of the earth. She knew she had been there but everything seemed lost scrambled up in her brain. She found difficulty in consolidating her thought process. The building itself looked mysterious with a single door and no windows. It looked as if it was built in pieces and assembled right there out of an inevitable outcome. Charu kept repeating to herself,” Come on, you know it “, as she cracked her knuckles in frustration. She lit a cigar and slowly allowed the burning sensation to engulf her. She navigated to the next file which was a text file.

“Mind control rays”?, Charu exclaimed looking at the laptop screen before her. ” Thinking belongs to the subconscious part of the mind, but mind control techniques can control a tiny part of the subconscious thoughts”, it went on. Further, it mentioned symptoms that one might experience when their mind was being controlled.

Charu was astonished as she experienced most of the symptoms that were mentioned. The feeling of guilt, the thought not to see her loved ones, a feeling of being intimidated, highly fluctuating emotions, she could relate to them. More suspense awaited her as she started navigating through the contents on the pen drive.


Before: (Charu) (At the hospital)

Charu didn’t remember how long she was kept sedated in the hospital bed. She felt that something was wrong with the way she was treated. She was normal, hale, and healthy but she found herself at the hospital every time she escaped back home, persuaded by her father. Charu tried convincing her father but in vain. She could understand that her father loved her so much and can’t bear if anything happens to her. She had a suspicion about Dr.Abbass but she couldn’t speak it out. Their family had known him since her birth.

After she got admitted she felt her memories being erased or rather they were forced to be forgotten. She struggled to remember things and it was her secret diary that helped her remember things. That particular day she decided to escape from the hospital. She remembered the satellite device that Sheryl gave the first time she met her. Again she had inhibitions on what would actually happen. The last time when she tried it she met Uncle Vincent and now he remained at the top of her suspicion list. Also, she knew he was away in Egypt. Charu decided to try herself and escape from the hospital.

Yuvaan before his death:

After giving the blueprints to Charu, Yuvaan started thinking about the entire story. He felt that the villa was the bridge to connect the other missing pieces. After hearing from Charu about the incidents at the villa, he was sure that the activities there had a direct clue on the entire puzzle. Yuvaan had made a remote-controlled nanobot that can record audio and video. It was so small that it would remain hidden to the naked eye and will camoufage with the surroundings. He drove to the villa and had the nanobot placed inside the villa.

Yuvaan got to know many secrets from what his nanobot recorded. It was before he could drive to Charu’s place he received a call. As he expected the voice on the other side of the line was familiar but the tone was entirely different. It sounded stern and it sent a spine-chilling fear in Yuvaan. The person on the call told him that if Yuvaan wanted his life, to come and meet him at the warehouse nearby and hand over the evidence.

Yuvaan knew that the end was inevitable. He tried reaching out to Charu but she didn’t pick the call. He decided to secure the evidence and leave a clue to Charu in case he couldn’t manage to survive. He put the pen drive with the video recording, written material that he had collected, and the map in a wooden box. He also placed another wireless storage drive that would record his live streaming from his button camera. He drove to a distant place 20 km away from his place and dug the wooden box in a clearing in the forest.

Evil:

He was a psychologist who held a doctorate in radiology and he was the director of the “All well” group of hospitals. It was his years of tireless research that led him to create ‘mind rays’, a name he coined for his creation. It was radiation of a specific frequency which he extracted from the nuclear subjugation process. This particular radiation applied to a person on defined limits allowed their minds to be influenced. He had greater plans with this idea and as a pilot project, he was researching it on certain subjects. It was something that he had stolen from one of Vincent’s wormhole creation process that coincidentally succeeded his research. He also had the sword with him which had the RFID key to authenticate the frequency of the radiation. All he needed was another two weeks for his subjects to stabilize to turn them into his mind slaves.

Vincent:

Vincent knew who had his sword and his intentions behind it. He also knew that he needed to save Charu but his mind was in tantrums. Vincent trusted him blindly and the way he had deceived him made Vincent outraged. It was Abyss who had deceived him.

Vincent was thinking about his technology that created people in dimensions. Humans evolving into animals and animals into combat-oriented forms. He would bring back the etlean race in its mighty form once he gets his hands on the sword. Also, he needs Charu to spearhead the etlean race.

The human specimens in his laboratory were successfully injected with fox genomes and they have inherited fox characteristics. Now if he kickstarted the signature radiations, he could create the wormhole and transport them into a nuclear-subjugated dimension. These signature radiations were like the fuel for the engine.

These wormholes are flexible bands with alternate arrangements of positive and negative energies. To the world it was inexistent but to him, it would be his priceless creation.

Present- Charu’s house:

After managing a fight with the securities she rushed home. The hospital was actually so desolated that day so she had less struggle moving out. Charu started playing the events from the very start. The book she bought in the market, how her unpublished story was there in the book. Then the way she met the girl from the book, the powers she had, troubled her. Her thoughts were struck at one point, the portrait image of the girl on the book which on a closer look revealed her own face that was there at uncle Vincent’s house. Is uncle Vincent related to her, that was running over her mind.

She took out the wooden box that was left behind by Yuvaan and looked inside. She found a pen drive, wireless storage, and a map. She connected the pen drive and it had images that represented a mysterious building. After having looked at the Pendrive she came for the wireless storage. The pen drive had things that were beyond her apprehension, about mind rays and some images. Despite her sincere efforts to recollect the place on the images, she failed in doing so.

The wireless storage had a video, which she played. The video was of very low resolution that she was unable to see anything but the audio was clear. She heard a car coming to an abrupt halt. She heard boots thumping past the cement pavement into Yuvaan’s house. Slowly the camera began to focus on the face of the person. What she saw made Charu drop the cigar in her hand and she stared at the screen in utter dismay and shock.


Vincent:

It was Abyss to him. People know him as Dr.Abbass, Vincent remembered how close they used to be talking all about krypton and uranium. Those sweet moments are long gone and now there was anger in Vincent’s eyes.

Charu saw Dr. Abbass with a pistol in his hand…..Evil?… Thoughts overwhelmed her. So, nothing was a dream….

She never had any delusional syndrome…Sheryl was real, Vincent was real, Yuvaan was real….

She could see everything before her eyes while she was wide awake… Her head started to spin wildly….
