The Big Laboratory 8

The Big Laboratory 8

Mar 20, 2024

 Abed finishes and Daphne turns down the volume of the music, Adam is still paralyzed, he remembers khedr's remark about how he will get corona, and realized this is all a real life simulation, Adam remembers the poem and how al halaj asked god to forgive the ones who want to kill him and that is the antidote to forgive, and so Adam could move again and his paralyses halted, and finally Lilith comes into the room. Lilith says " He said the poem again didnt he ?" Lucy answers " Yea and it worked with the music this time" Lilith then says to Adam " Im glad you made it, chocolate brownies are in the oven" Daphne says to Lucy " You know Corona came from bats" Lucy then says " And I came from a monkey" Daphne then says " But you did come from monkeys its called evolution, stop it close the topic" Adam asks " Whats with the dead plants ?" Lilith sits down and stays silent for a bit Abed intervenes “It’s Lilith's superpower” Lilith then speaks “It’s not really my superpower it’s my curse" Lilith continues " When I was a child I was extremely ugly and people started to notice that the more they hate me the more there plants bloomed and the more they loved me the plants died" Abed says “That’s my plant dead over there" Lilith gets a nice bonsai tree and says " My dad sends me a tree every year and writes a note on it saying I hope they die, I grew to live with it and all the dead trees are people who loved me but there are many living trees out there and that's the way it should be" Abed then cuts in again " So that’s Lilith’s superpower what is yours, Adam ?" Adam replies " I like to write and I conjure realities with my mind" Abed then says " Share with us some of your writings for I have shared a poem of a Sufi and this is what I like to do, now it is your turn share" with all eyes on Adam he gets nervous and a bit fidgety trying to remember the whole passage in his head, he hopes for the best and starts " A lost man looked in the eye that sees everything and saw the layers of hell and heaven and love between them. To find himself he looked into his actions and saw he was not in control but he was the one responsible. He then looked at himself and saw his memories controlling him, so he looked into the memories and saw stories already written. The eye showed him how the past will happen again in the future... he asked is there no hope? Will life only repeat itself? The eye showed him beauty, he asked for more and beauty turned to ugliness and the eye stopped answering his questions." Adam was amazed by his ability to recite it, given that this passage had been stuck in his head since childhood but only now had it resurfaced from the depth of his memories. The moment Adam finished the oven clock went off and Lilith said " Well the brownies are done" Abed remarked on the passage" It’s nice I liked it, but do you understand it ?" Adam a bit unhinged says " What do you mean do I understand it" Lilith brings in the chocolate brownies and goes to Adam first and offers him one, Abed says " You shouldn't ask for more you should eat" Adam thinks for a moment and says " No" and the moment Adam says no the doorbell rings Lilith says "Here comes Zaza, come on Adam have a piece" Adam still refused and Lucy opens the door for Zaza.

Zaza comes in, he is an average-built guy wearing a leather jacket one of his eyes turns to another direction than it should and he has tattoos all over his body, he comes in and directly eats the browny that was supposed to be for Adam, sits and puts his legs up on the table and as Zaza lifts up his sleeves Adam notices a serpent tattoo, the same one he saw on the sticker when he left university that day. Zaza says “I’m bored, aren't you bored? Let’s go out" Abed sighs and says “Here we go let’s see what he got in store for us" Zaza replies " Don't be a party pooper Abed I just want us to have some fun" Lucy gets excited and readies herself, and so they went out while Lilith stayed behind. As they were going out Lilith stopped Zaza and in an angry subdued tone, she said” You killed Anna didn’t you? This is not God’s way !” Zaza smirked and said “God has forgotten about us” and Zaza went outside.  They stopped and got beer on the way, Adam restrained from getting a beer, Abed didn't want to but after a stare-down from Zaza he got one, and then they parked their car downtown and went out. Zaza got spray cans for everyone to spray on a wall that had graffiti drawn on it. Abed and Adam sit back and talk. " So you are a Sufi that drinks and smokes weed,” Adam says. Abed takes a gulp of beer and replies “This is just sugar, and weed is for fighting cancer, everything you do has consequences, my friend, whether in this world or the next one, and I will soon pay for my sins, but the difference between you and me is that you live up on the tree while I live down in the roots with the demons and worms and the dead, you reach god when you’re looking at the sun, I reach god when I look into the abyss we are all the same but different. You refusing to live and forgetting your gifts have unearthed your demons and let them live on the top, when you refuse to eat we stop living in your world" Adam asks " And which world do you live in ?" Abed points to Zaza who is spraying his name over a beautifully made revolution graffiti, Abed says to Adam “ The beginning of doubt in god, in the universe, is the beginning of certainty” Adam remembers moiety " The reason you live in his world is because he has more serotonin than me, and serotonin is what makes us live in hierarchies" Abed didn't really understand but says “ serotonin? That’s what you got from me? Whatever floats your boat I guess ”. Adam leaves Abed and goes to Zaza, Zaza greets him and says " Adam! Here take this you can spray over the peace sign over there" Adam takes the canister and sprays the letter A on the back of his leather jacket. Zaza yells “What the hell are you doing are you crazy" Adam says “It’s not nice spraying over other people’s work" Everyone gets amused even Lucy gets a chuckle out of what happened Abed says “It looks like an anarchy sign" Zaza wanted to kill Adam he loved his leather jacket but really he had other plans for him, he wanted to make him sin so that his overlords can extract oil from his world, and so he pulls him close and tells him " Its only a jacket don't worry about it, now you want to know a secret? now that you are one of us you can know the secret " Adam says sure Zaza continues “The secret is that everything in this world is yours for the taking there is no right and wrong and there is no god now tell me Adam do you want to be a man? Adam didn't reply "Adam do you want to be a man" Zaza insisted and Adam hesitantly said yes “Okay you just said you want to be a man come with me I have a surprise for you" so Zaza rounded up everybody and they went to his place.

Lilith goes to Al-Botrs’s room, “they killed Anna” Lilith exclaimed, but Al-Botrs stayed silent. “You knew this was going to happen !” Lilith yelled. Al-Botrs breaks his silence “Yes I knew this was her fate, but we still need her to what is coming ahead, it seems the forces of evil will not rest” Lilith says : “ she is dead how can she help us again ?” Al-Botrs says : “ She is dead in this reality but there are many worlds where she is still alive and still with Karim, our only hope that Karim in this world doesn’t turn bitter and evil after the loss he encountered and the evil that has touched him. Our only hope that Karim stays strong and believes in the machine and maybe god. “

Lilith exclaimed “But you still didnt answer my question how could Anna help us ?” 

Al-Botrs then said “ Anna is like Karim’s immune system, but manifested in real life. As her name implies she ANA or anti nuclear antibodies. Before, she was giving Karim the pills that where delaying the truth in Karim’s mind, not knowing that she was subduing neurogenesis in his mind, our bodies sometimes do that, it attacks itself thinking it is doing the right thing. In other realities this is still happening, Anna is still insisting on Karim taking the pill, which is fine, but the problem is that Karim, Khaled and Adam are connected even through multiple realities. What is coming next we need Karim to not take his pills so that Khaled can have a DMT trip “

Lilith says “ What does that have to do with in anything how are they connected ?” 

Al-Botrs replied “ You see the pill blocks certain receptors in Karim’s mind, but at this moment he takes the pill he will be reading a very important paper on physics that will effect Khaled writing the machine, we need Karim to actually understand it with the full force of his brain so that Khaled and Adam can overcome what is coming later” 

Lilith then says “ How can we do that ?”

Al-Botrs “ Well its simple this room allows me to do things Unknown to human kind, like travel realities, and go to another world. And this is exactly what I will do”

Al-Botrs opens the door and disappears to another reality, he wakes up in the form of Al-Botrs but in the other reality where his right eye has the patch on it not the left. 

The other world is exactly like ours with minor differences, to the architecture and to the cars, he reaches a park and sees Anna walking, he blocks her way from moving forward and says “ I told you this was not the last time I do this to you” Al-Botrs  puts his finger on Anna’s forehead and Anna in flashing scenes remembers everything that happened to her in the alternate reality, until she reaches her death. “He shot me, he shot me “ Anna yells with everybody staring at her. Then she quickly calms down and says to people “ just a joke, just a joke” and takes Al-Botrs and talks to him on the side. “ I died ! What happened to Karim ? “ Al-Botrs then says “ He saw your death and he is very traumatized” 

Al-Botrs then says “Karim in this reality is understanding core theory in physics which is essential to Khaled, you see Khaled, Karim and Adam are connected that way through multiple dimensions. And you and Lilith affect them.”

Anna says “ What is needed from me “

Al-Botrs replies “ The medication block 5ht2a and Dopamine d2 receptor in Karim’s brain, but those receptors are responsible for the hallucinogenic  effect of DMT.” 

“But Karim is not the one taking DMT” Anna interrupts Al-Botrs then says “ Yes for khaled who is taking the DMT not to die. Karim must allow his receptors to work, so khaled can see the full picture. Look we are in the abstract now, where nothing makes sense, but you need to trust me on this You are not living in real life you are now living in the quantum world in the big laboratory , I have given you a bacteria that will allow you to communicate with our world through your brain, you dont have to speak you just have to think. I know that you are going to meet Karim to watch a movie, escort him back to his house and let him read the papers it is very important.” 

Anna agrees and they part ways, Anna goes to meet Karim who is excited to see the new avengers movie but with completely different actors than we have in our world. Anna approaches him and after a small greeting Anna says “ I dont feel like watching the movie can we go back home? “ Karim agrees and off they went 

Al-Botrs and Lilith are communicating with Anna through the bacteria Al-Botrs gave her. Lilith says “ Okay so its going to be a bumpy ride back home, the forces of evil aren’t so happy we changed the coarse of history.”
