From Reporters to Camera persons, scientists to security staff...Every single person, that was present in the control center at the time of the demonstration was holding his/her breath while completely focusing on the broadcasting screens like a kid full of curiosity, keenly observing the hands of the magician trying to figure out the secret behind his trick.
Initially, The atmosphere was full of excitement. Everyone was patiently waiting for the secret to be unveiled, taking random guesses on what could it be, but the instance Dr. Gonzalez started counting, a slight nervousness started sneaking into the surroundings & by the end evolved into an overbearing pressure.
"Open Tunnel Entrance 1 & 2" -Dr. Gonzalez to Dr. Sanders in an anxious tone.
"Opening Tunnel Entrances"
"Activate all operator cabinets" -Dr. Gonzalez.
"Turning Off Standby Mode, Activating cabinets"
"All cabinets out of standby , Sir" -Dr. Sanders.
"Activate all network channels" -Dr. Gonzalez.
"Activating all meta network channels"
"All channels active, Sir" -Dr. Sanders.
"Initialize The Demonstration Platform Module" -Dr. Gonzalez.
"Activating Platform Conveyor, Initializing DP Module-1" -Dr. Wade. ( Chief Directives Officer )
"Get the big guns out" -Dr. Gonzalez.
* indistinct voices
"Performing initiation operati.."
"Activating Code 01."
"code 01 active !! all subsystems perfe....."
"Actualizing thermal parame..."
"Opening barrica..."
"Trapping data signature from Alpha-1"
"Alpha-1 connected to launch port-1, Sir" -Dr.Sanders.
"Trapping data signature from Alpha-2"
"Alpha-2 connected to launch port-1.1, Sir" -Dr.Sanders.
"waiting for further orders commander"
"Initiate sequence 101, Code Ultraboot"
"Code Ultraboot on board"
"thermal imaging cams active"
"Initiating power supply to Pliot engines"
"Alpha-1 and 2 at maximum power capacity, Sir."
In the middle of all this commotion, while everyone easily blended in with the surroundings, there was still one person whose unexpected reactions easily managed to grab my attention. It was Dr. Gonzalez, the only person in the entire room who was supposed to be calm and determined but instead had a pale face and was looking hesitant and nervous as if he never ever wanted the experiment to even start.
With each passing second, his reactions were getting more and more intense as if he's filled with emotions up to the brim and wants to let all out, like a bullied kid who was holding back for the past couple of weeks and can lose it any second now.
But, just before anyone could notice anything, a scantly plump hand firmly grabbed one shoulder of Dr. Arthur. "Stop the experiment immediately!!" and with just that one statement, a slightly husky & voluminous voice made its own place into the nervous dust.
It was a little out of the blue, but because I was a huge fan, just the slightest glance and I could tell who it was, It was the famous face of Dr. Alyssha sokolov, [ a 6-feet tall Russian figure with stark black hair & soon to be Dr. Arthur's wife, whose groundbreaking discovery on the equilibrium of nano-particle explosions has redefined new standards for radiational physics. ]
"Miss Alyssha??? what are you doing here?" --questioned Dr. Sanders in a shocked and afraid manner as if he didn't really want her to be there.
Maybe I was just seeing things, maybe the temperature was actually high in there, but to me it was lookin as if Dr. Sanders, who was focused into deriving expressions to conclusions and variables to values, looking calm and concentrated, suddenly started sweating heavily with a terrified expression on him.
"Gentlemen, I don't have time for this right now. Can we discuss all this later because right now, I have some real bad news on me and you probably won't even like the sound of it but I think we'll have to demolish the project right this moment, we can't proceed further."-Dr. Alyssha conveyed with a non harmonic expression on her face as she handed over a red envelope to Dr. Cooper for processing.
"Whaaatttt?.. wh.. wh.. whyyyy...? What is in that envelope? Are you serious? Just when we were about to unravel the isle of mysteries... Would anyone care to explain me, what the...heck is goin on? " - Dr. Sanders stuttered in a raged and curious tone walking around the room in anxiety.
"Database uploaded. Reflecting output values on screen, transferring authority to central server" -mainframe assistant voiced.
"Ma'am. It's ready" -Dr. Cooper.
"Have a look at this. Do you know what these numbers are for? Don't they look familiar?" - said Dr. Alyssha while pointing at the screen.
"Oh come on! Will you stop with these games of yours? We all have worked our asses off, day and night trying to get closer and closer to making this world a better place, and when we finally did get there, you show up with a bunch of numbers, Do you think it's a joke? We don't have time for this nonsense. If you are lookin' to solve riddles, I think you're at the wrong place." -
"Wait, Uh! Guys, I think we should listen to her arguments once, cause I think I know these numbers, I don't why but these digits kinda remind me of the basic algorithmic pattern of the neural schema we used in the macro-thermal generator that powers up the suits." -
