From 2136

 

Aditya Teja's private workstation buzzed with signal fluctuation. 

"Maya, please relay the live signal map," he said, to his self-trained virtual assistant. 

He could see the signal strength increasing. 

"Maya measures the angle and tells me the exact coordinates where this signal is hitting the ground and in how much time," he said in a hurried hush. 

"The signal is touching the ground in 87 seconds at a distance of 10 meters and an angle of 7 degrees from the radar," responded Maya. 

"Maya, set up live telecast on our social media channels with Vyom's periphery and live data feed and relay it only if Vyom begins to destroy," said Aditya in a nervous tone. 

Maya beeped a yes. 

"Activate all insulation levels to highest" trembled Aditya, as he saw 67 seconds on the signal screen. 

"Maya, activate the communication channel and send out this message in all codes in all frequencies. Message start Welcome to Vyom. How can I help you? Message end." said Aditya, taking a deep breath. 

"Maya, get Ruka ready to drive" After saying that, Aditya took his tablet and got onto Ruka, his AI-driven bike. 

"Ruka, take me to the city at your fastest" saying, he jumped on to Ruka. Ruka closed a glass shell on Aditya and fastened a seat belt on him and took off, while Aditya pulled out his tablet and looked at it. Without a blink, he switched his gaze towards the sky and returned to his tablet. His tablet showed exactly what relayed on his screen in his private workstation, that he named Vyom. The time now read, 31 seconds. Vyom is located on the cliff of a rock mountain. This is 100 kilometers away from the bustling city of Mumbai. Ruka takes him to Vyom every weekend. 

At 10 seconds, he saw a steep turn in the direction of the incoming radiation. "Ruka stop. Follow this signal" saying this he connected his tablet to Ruka. "Stop," he said again when he read 0 seconds on his tablet. The distance showed 5.2 Kilometers. He focused his gaze and silenced his mind to hear anything unusual, but nothing changed. "Maya how far is the signal landing coordinates from Vyom," he said. "10.8 Kilometers" came Maya's voice from his tablet. "Any change in the visuals, or sounds?" "No," said Maya. "Vyom received a message from the position of the radiation coordinates. Message start Thank you Mr. Aditya Teja, but the radiation is unwelcoming. Message end. "What code was the message input?" asked Aditya. "English" replied Maya. Aditya leaned back on Ruka and stared up for a while. He quickly straightened up and said "Maya, turn off the insulation and send this message. Message start.  The radiation is turned off and Vyom is open for you. Message end." 

"Message received. Message start. Thank you, I will be there in 10 seconds. Message end," said Maya. 

"Maya adds the footage of all cameras on my screen," said Aditya, as he eased his posture. He looked at his screen with a cold gaze, as he saw a woman walk into Vyom. She walked right into the center of Vyom and turned a full round, with firm feet, examining the interiors. As Aditya saw her gazing silently, he heard from Maya. "Message received. Message start. I have arrived Message end" Aditya blinked and said "Maya send a message. Message start May I know who you are? Message end. As the woman continued to stare silently, Maya spoke again "Message received. Message start. My name is Saira. I am from the year 2136. Message end" 

Aditya calmly said "Ruka, go to Vyom" 

He arrived in a minute, got off Ruka. "Hello Ms. Saira" he said calmly, as he entered Vyom. 

"it's a fortune to meet you Mr. Aditya Teja" gleamed Saira. 

"Really! What's the fortune about?" asked Aditya in a curious smile. 

"Oh, that I will tell you on the way" 

"On the way?" Aditya interrupted. "Am I going somewhere with you?" he asked, staring straight into Saira's eyes.
