A young 18-year-old boy with whitish hair and a Bionic Suite was recording a video.
"Hey guys, I have exciting news to share with you all. We've discovered a civilization-proof temple on this planet. Those interested in watching can pay 300 credits. The broadcast will be scheduled in your relative time since we lack the latest technology and sponsors."
"Dude, do you think they care? We're not even certified yet, and there will be 10 of these."
"Do you think they'll buy it?"
"Oh, they will. At least they can see we're from the Federation of Space Exploration. Oh, we've arrived. That was amazing. Let's start broadcasting. Should we go for a POV or third person?"
"Can't we do both? We won't be able to deliver with our subscription. It won't allow it. It says, A bulky guy with an artificial arm and a drone with a cord from his brain connected to a spaceship."
"Okay, let's do a drone shot. Going underwater, the team witnessed a monument similar to what is in the movie Alien Predator. There seems to be a spatial distortion surrounding it," the young boy with whitish hair asked.
Captain Jack responded, "Yeah, exactly. That's why we're checking it out. They might be like us."
Inside the ship, which looked like a blackbird plane with a noisy background disturbance, the tech guy informed, "Guys, this space turbulence is protecting this monument, but we can't seem to locate the core."
After setting up and landing, the ship pierced through spatial turbulence, some kind of energy. "Ahh, we won't be able to send proper signals."
"Exploring, they found what can be said to be a rich and abundant use of precious materials, and it produced a powerful frequency. This made them feel both good and bad, as chips in their brains were malfunctioning."
"Is this interference natural, or is someone hacking?" a young man wondered. They ignored everything as they came across something exciting: an old man sitting in a lotus position with some kind of sign (a super hand gesture, but the back of the palm resting on his kneecap). Behind him was a towering tree with little luminance, making it magical.
"Ah, this is the best part of being on the space research and exploration team."
"Dude, you are just a..."
"Stop your chit-chat, investigate other parts, and report what the captain said in an authoritative tone."
"Aye aye, Captain," said an engineer sarcastically in an annoying tone. "We will split into two and explore and collect samples and information."
Stark felt touched once again. Although he was basically an errand boy, due to the captain's intervention, his face was saved. The captain was generous enough to let him in and always tried to make him feel part of the team, unlike others who were always trying to show their worth, making him feel miserable.
"We will try to extract memories from this body; this might be the biggest discovery.
How is the body still as good as new? This place has been around for millions of years. Is this civilization more advanced than ours?
But they clearly don't have... wait!! Clone traps?" Before a biochemical expert could warn, it started
"Let's extract it, the captain said. [initiating memory extraction: 5 3 2 1 0 connecting 12 users interlinking...]"
They were all frozen for a while, then looked at each other and started doing strange things as if they were hypnotized or hacked, and after a while, everyone started chanting.
Meanwhile, after splitting to explore, a young man was standing. He felt uncanny while touching a quad; at least that's what he thought it was.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
" Report found an antique that is emitting frequencies. To be exact, it is a universal frequency and some mixture of these frequencies could be a message."
stark calling "Dude, let's interlink our systems and decode this."
"Dude, do you think it is a signal?" he said distastefully as he had to share his computing, which wasn't pleasant at all as overuse would make him obnoxious and drowsy but they had to do it as he couldn't access the cloud computing power as it would take too long to receive response
"Yeah, let's find out."
["Error 404"]
"Aakash, hello, stark, worried, asked but it was pointless as error 404 meant the connection was lost
"Shit! Has the system connection failed to be established? no response, what is happening?
[Your teammate (•|1÷π) system is dead.]
[Dangerous detected threat level 10 ] [Danger mode activated]
Shit reboot; no switch off! System nova nova! Shit-shit, danger mode is activated."
"Thank God I didn't have an advanced chip and connect it to my gears.
To him, this was the only thing that was advantageous about not having money to afford a new chip."
"What are you doing, guys? Fuck, what are you doing? Are you guys hacked? I swear, Akansh if this is a prank,
"After that, the latest federation combat bot arrived. There was hope, but it soon turned into despair as it started to attack them."
"He fought with some advanced combat bots but then was killed by his teammates while they were lighting all the statues that were holding some kind of lamp decoration in the midst of getting slaughtered at last movement his crush Anna said with her eyes full of tears and a heart-shattering smile, whispering live for us and pushing him more towards the center (continue her chanting till her last breath ).
Stark and his teammate's blood was dripping, covering the whole floor with blood-filling up intricate carvings.
Then Stark closed his eyes, remembering his life, his painful movements in bipods, his parents' early death when he was 4 years old, and his regrets of not confessing and spending time with Anna, as she had a b12 model chip famously known as emotion killer He was scared about it but her last words and tears made him cry, drowned in too many emotions."
"Boom, a sudden wave of golden black emerged from all the statues.
opening his eyes He is now in a void full of weird colors of strings and different kinds of molecular structures.
Hmm, am I being preserved? No way.
I have no valuable information. The killer wouldn't leave my chip intact, let alone my brain. Is this what our ancestors called the afterlife? No way in the world is what we know untrue."
"What is happening? Why does it feel so right yet so wrong?
Wait, am I really dead? Ah, I want to be alive. God, if you exist, please help me and let me go back in time.
Why do I feel I have said similar things hundreds of times?"
"Then he started to remember everything. At first, he was in a kind of space full of energies.
After that, he was wandering around the universe with no control, like a gas facing through asteroids. Then he got a little hang of it, finding and propelling towards planets with life. He felt kind of a drive to find planets with life.
Then there was a strong gravitational pull that he ever experienced in this weird journey. Then he felt weak as if his legs had gone numb. After that, once again, he was in a space full of strings energies, but this time molecules cells too."
"Remembering all that, he realized he needed to do something extremely important."
"Oh, right, I am. An unborn baby. Thank God, I was going to die if I hadn't remembered. Shit, I need to expel this substance and mutate my body."
"It all started when I was roaming around in this world. I got dragged here, and then after a while playing with these strings, wild energies, and molecules, I started to realize this was reincarnation. I was able to see outside somehow, but as time passed, I couldn't seem to do it that often."
"This is hard. I have to balance these energies and keep the strings in a loop untangled. I also have to improve my body by using so much nutrition, sourcing it, fighting this sleepiness, and stopping forgetting about my existence and memories. This is pure torture."
"Fuck, my mom is crying. She is dying. Fuck, what is happening? God, let me use my eyes again. I want to know what is happening. How big am I?"
"Oh, she is running poison. damm it. This one is powerful. How do I get it out of my mom's body? Oh right, these energies are manipulable if I control my mom's cells."
"All done. I am done. I don't care if I live or die anymore. I am sleeping."
"After what felt like an eternity of sleeplessness, he slept.
To my goodness, I was born, but I'm 3 years old. I tried to do something when I was awake, but it didn't work, so I slept for 3 years straight."
"I had coma failure as my tiny brain was not able to hold all my memories, and I couldn't properly control it without it."
"Today is some kind of ceremony. All the children are there, the same age as mine, and the parents are on the other side."
"Oh, we have interesting-looking statues, tools, and weapons. Ok, I have to pick one of the statues. Oh, that guy picked 2 shit. That parent is crying because their baby picked the wrong statue."
"What is happening is that my parents are. Right, I heard them talking, so it was about me. Huh, my mom died coming here, so I was extracted from her by my father, and my father is missing a great ."
"Shit, my turn is next. What are these? Does it change my fate? Is it based on which is more valuable? These parents are looking like gamblers, their facial expressions changing every statue a baby picks or doesn't pick."
