The Meetup
----------------------------------------
Three days had passed, and the kids were proudly leaving school. They headed towards the elevator with their IQ test results. They suddenly see Cord waiting for them near the elevator door.
Cord: "Hey, kids! Did you learn a lot today?"
Isabella: "Yeah! We received our IQ test scores today,"
Cord: "Oh yeah? And who's the smartest one?"
Neveah: "I don't know. We haven't shared the results with each other yet."
Isabella [Grins]: "It's probably me, eh eh."
Cord: "I see. And how about you Ahr? Did you do well?"
Ahr: "Yeah, it was okay,"
Cord (In Japanese): "And you Sirius, how did you do?"
Sirius (In Japanese): "I don't understand what it says"
Cord (In Japanese): "Can I see it?"
Sirius handed over his results to Cord, who calmly examined the paper.
Cord (In Japanese): "Wow, Sirius, it says you are a genius. You almost got the maximum score,"
Sirius (In Japanese): "And what does that mean?"
Cord (In Japanese): "It means you learn things much faster than regular people!"
Sirius: "Nice!"
Cord chuckled as they stepped out of the elevator.
Cord: "Well, kids, I have to go to work. I'll meet you guys at dinner okay?"
Neveah: "Bye, Dad!"
Isabella: "Goodbye, old man,"
Ahr: "Take care, Mr. Mayer,"
Sirius waved and left with the kids while Cord pressed the button marked "-6" on the elevator panel, waving back at him.
The elevator goes down, and Cord arrives at -6. He steps out and makes his way towards a door, entering a conference room.
Inside the conference room, five women and five men stood in the front row of the seats while Nixon stood in the last row, watching from afar.
Cord walked onto the stage in the conference room and began his presentation.
Cord: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am grateful for your presence here today. Before we begin this meeting, I want to remind you that all the information about to be discussed is confidential. Any breach of this confidentiality, whether accidental or intentional, will result in your classification as an enemy of the United States of America. If any of you have reservations, now is the opportunity to leave."
[The room remains in silence.]
Cord [Turns on a projector with a few images]: "Great. Let's start shall we?
The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
In 1954, a renowned American archaeologist named Larry Begmire made an astonishing discovery that forever altered our understanding of ancient Egypt. While exploring the pyramids, Begmire uncovered a previously unknown concealed tunnel. This tunnel descended deep into the Earth until it reached a massive underground chamber 47 meters below the surface. Upon entering this chamber, Begmire encountered a remarkable revelation: two hieroglyphs etched upon stone. Astonishingly, these hieroglyphs deviated from the symbols and languages previously deciphered. They represented an entirely unknown language, untouched by the passage of time.
Begmire's meticulous investigation of this hidden chamber unveiled further revelations. Amidst a collection of precious artifacts, he stumbled upon an ornate casket encircled by ancient weaponry and sumptuous silks – likely offerings to honor the deceased from an era long past. Sensing the potential implications of his discovery, Begmire, apprehensive about possible resistance from the Egyptian government, reached out to our organization. Through diplomatic channels, we facilitated negotiations and eventually transported the casket to the United States. We then provided Begmire with a secure environment to conduct his research.
The moment of truth arrived when the casket was opened, revealing a mummified figure adorned with golden finery. Four mysterious books rested upon the mummy's chest. Begmire then meticulously unwrapped the golden-clad mummy, only to find it in an impeccable state of preservation. Begmire said, "It was as if the body had succumbed to death just days ago." This astonishing revelation led Begmire to join forces with some of the world's most eminent scientists, archaeologists, and linguists, initiating a collaborative effort that would uncover groundbreaking insights.
Their investigations into the mummy's blood yielded an extraordinary discovery: an additional cellular component labeled "MC," short for Memory Cell. This remarkable memory cell had the uncanny ability to prompt other cells to recall their previous functions, even postmortem. Its potency was such that the mummy's heart exhibited sporadic beats occasionally despite its deceased state. The scientists uncovered that memory cells consumed themselves to provide nutrients for other cells. However, before their total self-consumption, they would exit the host's body, raising perplexing questions about the mummy's age and the sustained presence of memory cells.
Translating the books emerged as a primary avenue for answers. After five years of painstaking effort, the translators produced a riveting narrative:
The first book recounted the origins of humanity itself. It spoke of a distant land, a world unlike ours, where humans harnessed the powers of nature with profound finesse. These evolved beings exhibited unparalleled spiritual, mental, and physical prowess, rendering technology obsolete. Also, stories of their time foretold a future cataclysmic event that would necessitate their migration to new habitats.
The second book illuminated the enigma of MC. It revealed that the earliest humans possessed MC within their veins, each endowed with a unique quantity. The ancients described MC as the mineral remnants of celestial bodies, Long-dead stars that intertwined with the cosmos' evolution and life's emergence until reaching the human bodies. These ancient habitants had mastered MC manipulation, harnessing its potential. The book also divulged that MC's capacity to record past lives enriched the subconscious of subsequent generations, exponentially amplifying their wisdom and power. Yet, each new host would receive a diminishing quantity, leading to critical questions surrounding its distribution in the future.
Book three delved into the intricacies of the human soul, categorizing the soul into two distinct groups. Creators and Receptors. Creators emanated an energy that influenced their surroundings, while Receptors assimilated energy from others, sustaining the equilibrium between the positive and negative.
The book also acknowledged rare instances where individuals possessed both attributes.
Statistical data within the book indicated that 67.2% of individuals were Creators during that era, while 31.7% were Receptors. The remaining 0.1% exhibited both characteristics. Intriguingly, 89% of these dual-natured individuals met tragic ends through homicide, misfortune, health issues, or even suicide.
The book ultimately states that the majority of the soul itself is made of Mc.
The fourth book eloquently described the cosmic tapestry's creation, an eternal cycle of emergence and dissolution, akin to our understanding of the Big Bang. This ceaseless pattern yielded variations in each iteration while occasionally revisiting familiar conditions, manifesting phenomena like déjà vu...
Recently, a newfound book emerged. This last book disclosed the existence of an additional 37 similar volumes. It revealed the author of these chronicles as "Thoth," an Egyptian deity. Unlike its predecessors, this tome posed a dire prediction: Thoth remarked, "The inherent energy imbalance begets contrast, necessitates change, and leads to the emergence of new rulers defined by the conditions of their existence within the fabric of space-time."
In simpler terms, Thoth forecasted that in our imminent future, a multitude of unchecked and uncontrolled 'Rulers,' which you can also call 'gods,' would emerge to maintain the balance of the world. [Cord Finishes his presentation]
Cord: Now, do we have any questions until now?"
[Everyone in the front row puts their hands in the air]
Cord: "Oh boy."
