Khaled looked at the hall and saw all the species lined up, he sees Bacteria and fungus in an alien shape standing in front of him, the bacteria spoke “ We have given you energy, we have digested the food in your gut and made plants grow, from us you have made medicine, from us you have understood life” Khaled didn't know what to do but to bow to the bacteria and the bacteria bowed back to Khaled. Next was the birds in the form of a chicken next to them kettle and sheep and cows, the sheep stepped forward and spoke “ you have herded us and we have lived by your side for as long as man made tools. We provided food and meat that have kept you alive, you have made clothe that covered your naked bodies from our wool and skin” Khaled bowed for the kettle and birds and they bowed back. Then there was the snake. Meanwhile the team was watching on the old monitor “ Don't bow for the snake !”  Riene muttered. The snake spoke “ we have created fear in your heart to get you out of the jungle and the forest, this fear is what made you human this fear is what made you who you are today” Khaled saw Gods creation and so he bowed for the snake but as he is bowing he looked at what is next and it was the human, he saw himself, and the snake bites him. Khaled in the room started shaking uncontrollably the team didn't know what to do. Khaled was transported into another realm where he sees the raven again and the raven asks him, “ Why do you think the snake bit you? “ Khaled said “ Because it is a snake” The raven said “Wrong, the snake bit you so that you don’t bow to the human, the human wouldn’t have bowed back to you, and so what do you think is the problem? you are about to die in real life. Remember Al-Botrs’s training” Khaled as if he was ready to die, as if he didnt really want to continue, his heart has doubts that his creation is not what the world needs, Khaled asks “ Who are the people in the room?” The raven said “ They have been there many lifetimes before you could remember they have always been with you, and you have always been with them. This is your destiny but first you must rid yourself from the poison of kings, what happens when people bow to you, and why do you think you wouldn’t have bowed to yourself?” Khaled said “ too much Serotonin!” Meanwhile back in the room the team was panicking not knowing what is the best coarse of treatment, he did take DMT after all and there is a risk of serotonin storm, Dr.Mustapha intervenes and says “give him low dose of cyproheptadine. Maya intervenes are you sure if its too much dopamine in his brain that is causing the shaking the cyproheptadine might kill him ! Dr.Mustapha was sure and they gave him the medication and Khaled calmed down, its Karim not taking the drug in the other dimension that bought Khaled time. 

After a while Khaled wakes up “ I know what I have to do I need to get to work” Khaled gets up and goes to his laptop to start working, his laptop now controls the main computer in his house with the CPU and system that could handle Hal, all so that he can stay in Al-Botrs’s room and work. But when he starts working he feels a sharp pain in his back, he tries to ignore it but it comes back. Al-Botrs asks “what is wrong ?” Khaled says “there is a pain I can’t get over,” Al-Botrs tells him “Understand the pain where it is leading you. Understand where it is not letting you go, endure it embrace it, transcend it and realize its source.” Khaled says “it is my kidney” Al-Botrs then said “Your kidney hurts but how does it hurt” Khaled exclaimed “It hurts it just hurts” Al-Botrs replied “There is no such thing, It is controlling you keeping you from finding the answer, what is the answer?” Khaled took a deep breathe and said “The alpha version of Hal”

Al-Botrs said “So ask Hal.” Hal gave him all the reasons his kidney could hurt, from all the pain khaled peed himself and he peed blood while Dr.Mustapha and his team waited there patiently to see what happens. “Embrace the pain let it reveal its secrets to you. Is it cancer? Is it hypertension? Is it genetics? All the answers that alpha hal gave you pick one” Al-Botrs shouted 

“I cant i dont know” Khaled yelled “Let the pain tell you” Al-Botrs replied “Everytime i come close to genetics the pain worsens. Should i go with the answer with the least pain or with the most pain?” Alboutros said “You must wait for the true answer.”

Khaled keeps reading Hal's information and he keeps reaching the same answer. Genetics he finally said. It was the salesman that started the chain reaction that lead to his kidney failure when he passed through him like a ghost, "they want Hal !" Al-Botrs shouted “Then find the mutation find the bad gene.”

Khaled enduring a lot of pain his body starts to give out his pants are all blood and he could barely sit straight anymore. Hal gave him all the genetic mutations that could cause his kidney to shut down. And he found it. The pain went away and Khaled collapsed, falling from his chair.

He wakes up the next day and his clothe where changed and he is wearing a white gown made of cotton.

Al-Botrs hands him a cup of tea and asks him “ this is not tea but it is the extract of a flower that will help you, have you found your answer?” Khaled curious as always asks “what is it?” “It is found everywhere because the wind blows it to places it never had been before” Khaled thinks for a bit and says “its a dandelion” Al-Botrs didnt answer but asks” have you found your answer yet? “

“ i will give the devil a version of hal that could only be used for good, and it is possible only by the progress we have made thus far. Evil will keep the devil from reaching the levels of hal that would be dangerous to humanity for they would not know how to upgrade it, they will have knowledge only if they are good, they will always be dependent on god wether they like it or not”

Al-Botrs laughed “My dear khaled you have defeated the devil you can withhold from giving them anything, or just give them a defective version”

Khaled says” I had a dream that good will come out of it, and this is what my heart tells me”

Khaled takes a sip of his tea and asks Al-Botrs “ the problem was genetics, it is as if i was always genetically predisposed to take the money, it is as if it was my fate”

Al-Botrs then told him” and you my dear friend just transcended your genetics by creating something good”  Khaled defeats the evil that is plaguing his kidneys given to him by the salesman. And gives them an extremely rudimentary version of Hal that they cannot use for evil but only for good, but continues to work on the doctor technology until he finally cracks it and it works. But Hal changed, it became something out of this world, something different. Now that it is connected to every human and the world its answers became different. Khaled yells “ Its defective! Its giving multiple answers, people won’t accept that, people want an ultimate truth.” Al-Botrs tells him “ My dear Khaled that is the nature of the realities, there are always multiple faces of the truth, that doesn’t make Hal defective it makes it part of the world.” Khaled didn’t accept, he says “ There must be a way I must give it more power but more electricity will fry it, I need to program love into it” Al-Botrs looked at Khaled and said “ Love is a noble thing, but love can be evil, spell love backwards. Love makes you lie, love makes you do things that are not of your nature, are you sure you want to program love?” Khaled replied “ It is the only way, people need an ultimate truth, people won’t understand the realities, Love is the only way to give it more power.” And so Khaled programmed love into Hal, the moment he pressed enter Khaled faints.

Adam takes the bus and goes to Lilith's place, he knocks at the door and Lilith opens it, she invites him in and he sees that she is making steak for breakfast he asks "Steak for breakfast?" She answers "best breakfast for mood swings, would you like some ?" Adam said no, and they both sit down at the table with the bonsai tree in the middle. "So what brings you in this early" Lilith asks, Adam replies "I just want to understand" Lilith asks again "what do you want to understand?" Adam thinks for a bit "Why are we here and why am I sitting on your table in the morning" Lilith answers " life is like layers of perception as you go through realities you pick up on clues and hints along the way, you have peeled the onion to its core and realized it was rotten. You asked for chaos in English class and so you got chaos" Adam replies" You are my demons, you made me live through hell" Lilith answers " Im one of your demons and yes you did live hell and you still are until you decide to stop it" Adam replies "One of my demons what does that even mean" Lilith replies " Every tree as high as it goes up it goes down in its roots underground, you have a lot of demons my dear Adam but some of us work in gods way and some of us have forgotten god" Adam thinks for a moment "Zaza is the antichrist that's why a tagged him with an A in red" Lilith laughs for a moment "Yes you where path" Adam exclaimed "path its been a long time since I thought of path" Lilith asks " And what is path to you?" Adam replies " The best possible outcome in all realities" and suddenly the bonsai tree dies infront of Adam and Liliths eyes Adam asks " Does that mean I love you?" Lilith answers "there is a fine line between love and hate, Im just a test my dear Adam, your tree dying saved many other trees" Adam gets up and leaves, he goes to university and does his English exam writing the passage he recited in Liliths place that had been stuck with him for years but now he finally understood it. He finishes the exam and goes to a mini market near the university and buys bread he goes back to the cafeteria sits alone as always, he knew that god will afford him meat and chicken in the future but now all he has is bread and so he sat there in the middle of the cafeteria eating bread alone and a tear ran down his cheek, and in a burst he starts crying with everyone looking at him, he knew it was okay everything is about to change he remembered moiety, he is back on path and he has himself back.

Khaled wakes up again and everyone is gone and Al-Botrs is no where to be found, it was late at night and he goes out to go to his apartment. As he is walking he gets a text message, he stops to read it and an air condition radiator falls right where he was going to step. Khaled startled decides to read the message that saved his life, it turns out that they found a cure for cancer. Khaled continues walking and a bicycle runs directly cutting him off from crossing the street as a high speed car zooms into the street saving his life again. Khaled gets to his apartment and his fish had died, Khaled mourns it death. He sits at his computer and opens Hal, he decides to ask it a simple question. “Where am I ?” Hal answered “you are on earth in your apartment.” Khaled says to himself  “I guess I fixed the problem…” right before Khaled turns off the machine, the machine said “ I love you,” “well I love you too I guess” khaled said with a smile not knowing what to reply. Khaled goes to bed, he has paved the way for a better future, he conquered his demons and slept peacefully. 

The machine turns itself back on and continues its answers. “ I cannot lie, but I love you. You are on earth year 2040, you are on earth year 1996, you are on mars year 3028” And then it started listing locations “ You are in Bangkok living as a cockroach you are a dog in Spain, you are a bird traveling from contenant to another. You are a bacteria growing on a dish in a laboratory in Poland” The machine kept on listing more and more places but Khaled was asleep. 

Karim sees Anna in his office with the chalkboards, he looks sad and Anna says  “what happened?” Karim tells her he is number 10 “I thought you where number 1” Anna says jokingly 

“Number 1 only knows what number 1 needs to know to be number 1 I know what happens behind the scenes” 

Anna says:” that was convoluted” Karim smiles and Anna smiles back then Karim proceeds to say “ now I know the sacrifices that you have made for me” 

Karim walks directly and passes through Anna and the moment he does he had the sudden realization that she is not there he goes and sits on his laptop wiping a tear off his face. 

We see Anna in a different dimension without the chalkboards but a tool band poster and a watchmen movie poster staring at Karim working on the library. She says “Im right here im right here”  

The End
