Trapped In Time 110 Flashback Utopia Part 13

The Orbs who had seen the Administrator and his aides under house arrest with guards outside the homes went off again and hypnotized them with a thin lit torch like apparatus by holding it up against the statues. There were 5 persons including the Administrator who were hypnotized to walk into the jail cells vacated by the political prisoners. Once inside, they became statues. The gates closed behind the new prisoners. New records with names and other details were created by the fourth group of Orbs at the reception and these were kept in the reception area as the new records.

There were no CCTV cameras as this Town had ceased to function 10 years back. No one lived here except for the families of the 15 political prisoners, 15 scientists who were in jail, 25 families of the scientists who had died in harness. Then there were the families of the 5 persons from the Administration side who were under house arrest. Then there was the family of the scientist who had been thrown into the Time Machine. Thus there were a total of 71 families living here. The rest of the town was deserted. Yes, a few attendants were there in the jail as well as the 5 prisoners of Administration. The 4 attendants had families too and the receptionist also. The guards guarding those under house arrest were @ 2 per house so a total of 10. So, 15 more families were there. Thus, the total number of families living in this dead town was 86 families.

"We have accomplished our work successfully in Town L also," Mono said. "We need to head back now."

"Once we reach Town K we will rest in the residential hostel of the scientists there. Tomorrow morning we can proceed to Town M."

"Everyone, now proceed to the tunnel," saying this Mono and the group, accompanied by the Orbs, headed to the entry tunnel.

While walking towards the tunnel and towards the Cave with the destroyed Time Machine Experiment, this information was conveyed to Mono and the group of trekkers by the Orbs of Mono's father and grandfather.

It transpired that about 50 years ago the Chief Administrator, residing in Town M, had a great idea to get information by other means rather than getting it from the Cities above. He felt if they had a machine that would beat the speed of light they could go forward or backward in time and get whatever information they wanted. They had the best brains as they all had come down from the above cities 250 years ago to stay here, close to nature and develop themselves spiritually and enhance their technology. They had invented their own computers, the computer software their own internet as well as the radio, their own mobiles, their plant-based medicines and their high level of health, medication, and surgery which was much better than that above. Now they had nothing to learn from the cities above.

Actually, his grandfather was the Chief Administrator who 80 years ago who had stopped all contact with the cities above. But the scientists had continued to connect with the cities through secret tunnels and speed travel capsules. His father had taken over as Chief Administrator, and after his father's demise in 2000 he took over and continued his grandfather's no contact policy as well as giving impetus to his grandfather's and his father's dream of building a Time Machine.

They had better computers at that time in 2000 as what we are having now. So they needed to work on a Time Machine that would take them to the future mostly to get information about how civilization was developing and what was their role in the future, whether they were moving in the right direction, if not what corrective measures they needed to take etc.

This sounded idealistic, and most of the scientists, being simple folks, believed this theory. The first Time Machine Experiment commenced in Town L, it was nearest to Town M and was well connected via tunnels and even above ground. As the scientists worked, they got to a stage when they realized they need to connect the human brain with the computer terminals. The leader of the scientists suddenly died due to being bitten by a snake. Before his last rites were performed, his brain was extracted for the experiment and connected to the computers by means of wires. Slowly the wires that were connected to the brain started to look like nerves as the brain started working. Soon it started pulsating.

This information was conveyed to the Chief Administrator who then posted his most loyal person to take charge of the Administration at Town L. This person was more loyal than the king and started to hara.s.s the scientists to work faster. He even started making daily visits to the central cave to see the progress of the experiment.

Most of the civilians who had an ego issue, like the Chief Administrator and his aides, started to think they were now superior to the people who lived in the above cities. They had got brainwashed due to the constant lectures of these persons everywhere. They also started exerting pressure on scientists through their friends. The scientists were under too much pressure. The stress took the life of another scientist and his brain was added to the first on. This went on and on till 25 scientists lost their lives.

There were saner elements too and some of these were the scientists. Then there were people who opposed the idea of the Chief Administrator. These persons were slowly rounded up and put into jails.

This was just applying pressure on the scientists and then the plate experiment was attempted. The plate was energized in one booth to a.s.semble in the other. It did a.s.semble but the writing at the bottom was in reverse (Made in Town I rea.s.sembled as I made in Town). Then the Mouse and Cat experiment was attempted, one after another after doing further mathematics and realignment. But first the mouse was energized in one booth and it did not rea.s.semble in the other but disappeared with a squeak into mouse atoms. The Cat also was energized in one booth but it did not a.s.semble in the other and disappeared with a meow into cat atoms.

The scientists were now scared, they felt that they needed to rework the entire experiment. But the Administrator had been waiting for over 8 years and nothing was happening. Now it was 2008.
