“Moi, hi… Moi…” Mrs. Rose called behind me. I stopped my step and smiled at her.
“Where are you going? It’s lunch time. Let’s have lunch together.” said Mrs. Rose, as usual, looked fashionable and neat. Her fresh perfume was smelt by me.
“I have gone to Ron and then continued to Angel. Let’s lunch Mrs. Rose. After this, Moi must edit and complete the report to be presented this afternoon. Still in 4 hours later, I hope my presentation can be received by Lord Jonah.” I took a deep breath, imagined the Lord Jonah’s cold face in my mind.
I passed lunch with lots of questions to Mrs. Rose,
“Why did Lord Jonah change from just a report to presentation, Mrs. Rose? Before meeting Vicko, he just asked for a report. Then after meeting Vicko, Lord Jonah asked Moi for a presentation.”
Mrs. Rose, who was cleaning her teeth with a toothpick, stopped her activity. She turned to me and answered me with a smile,
“There may be a request from General Manton so that you present Moi. After all, if there are things that are lacking, it can be fixed immediately before your report material is brought by Lord Jonah to the capital.”
“Be calm Moi, I support you. With the presentation later, I can give you suggestions which is lacking.” She continued while staring at my face.
“Mrs. Rose will accompany Moi during the presentation, won’t you?Then who will be present in Moi’s presentation, besides Lord Jonah and Mrs. Rose?” I asked worriedly.
“Maybe there will be Dragono, Jeffry, and Doctor Stephan too. Be calm down Moi, you’re a smart girl, you can do it. Assume this is your thesis presentation.” said Mrs. Rose while she patted my shoulder.
I sighed.
Jeff?
Jeff the Hacker?
Dr. Stephan?
My head felt heavy…
From various disciplines would listen to my presentation.
What did Lord Jonah mean with cause to be present Jeff, Doctor Stephan, Dragono and Mrs. Rose in my presentation?
Did he want to embarrass or test my mental?
My thesis when tested causing to be present mentors and lecturers with the same discipline as mine, psychology.
It could be Lord Jonah through Jeff, Doctor Stephan and Mrs. Rose wanted to cut off my presentation.
Maybe Lord Jonah was vengeful when I slammed the microphone in front of Vicko. His revenge was aimed at humiliating me mentally.
“Moi goes back to the room first, Mrs. Rose. Moi must finish Moi’s work immediately, so that my presentation is good. Please support for the presentation later this afternoon, Mrs. Rose.”
I got up and tidied my dining tray and then went to my room to continue work, although confusion and aggravation hit my mind.
***
That afternoon I prepared myself for the presentation. I and Mrs. Rose went from the front of my room. I felt my steps as if not to arrive to the observation room, moreover I carried a bag containing a laptop, felt heavy at every step.
I followed Mrs. Rose to the observation room.
Dragono had been there. His back was huge and athletic, until the Chimera soldier’s uniform was tight on his body. The big tall bald man was installing an LCD screen for my presentation.
I opened my laptop and prepared my presentation, tested whether the projector can run properly.
Good luck everything.
For a moment Lord Jonah appeared accompanied by Doctor Stephan and the last was the geeky face Jeffry the Hacker.
Gosh, I was a little nervous. They were smart, while I was just a fresh graduate girl, not even got graduation ceremony yet.
There were 5 chairs prepared by Dragono. Lord Jonah sat in the middle, flanked by Mrs. Rose and Doctor Stephan. Next to Mrs. Rose was Dragono and next to Doctor Stephan was Jeffry, the Hacker.
Mrs. Rose gave a signal for starting of my presentation.
“Get on with it Moi, the presentation is started.” She said as she sat, while one leg was crossed to the other.
“Good afternoon, thank you for coming especially Lord Jonah. Umm… and also doctor Stephan, Mr. Dragono, Bro Jeffry and of course Mrs. Rose.” I said, rather trembling when opened my presentation.
“I start my presentation, if there are questions from gentlemen, please be patient first, waiting for my presentation to finish first. The title of my presentation this afternoon is ‘The power of the mind’.”
“Telepathy, clairvoyant, precognition, indigo, electro kinesis, and others that all come from the mind. The basis of developing the power of the mind is started from evolution. Today’s humans have evolved from millions of years ago. The power of the human mind increases along with the volume of the human brain that grows. From Australopithecus which only has a brain volume of 400 cc, it’s even less than the two glasses of mineral water we drink. Then the human brain evolved into Homo habilis, brain volume has increased to 700 cc. Homo erectus brain volume evolved to 800 cc.”
“Eventually it has evolved into Homo Sapiens, with brain volume more than 1,000 cc up to around 1400 cc, highest in that time. Along with the volume of the human brain increasing, the intelligence is increasing too but physically weakened. That is why people here seem to have accompanying disorders, such as easy to stress, fever, hyperactivity, impulsiveness.”
I shifted my slide to the next slide.The appearance of an explosion in the universe appeared on the screen.
“The big bang theory.”
I continued while pointing to the screen by pointer.
“The universe was created from a single explosion. The explosion vibrates and from it ether, air, fire, water and land is created.From the ground, created all living things including humans, so we are created from the same origin and are interconnected.Last night Angel also told me that he was thrown far into the past, where the world was created. She saw an explosion and then many things were created, from humans, plants, animals and so on.”
“That is why we can be connected to stars, animals, other humans, everything. This is caused by this. The getting clever humans, the volume of the brain develops, the process of this union will be stronger. Humans can do telepathy, can go back to the past, precognition, indigo, all because the elements of the universe are before us and are recorded down through the generations in our DNA naturally, long ago when the universe happened.”
“And now with an increased brain volume make metaphysical phenomena are more increasingly owned by gifted ones and people who want to explore their potential.”
“Wait Kid, I’m indeed the dumbest among of you from the level of education. it’s good a little insight from… maybe doctor Stephan or Mrs. Rose or Jeffry whose mathematical logic is good for responding to your presentation before it is more confusing. Let’s doctor Stephan, Mrs. Rose, and Jeffry pleases rate.” Dragono said interrupting my presentation.
“I think, Moira is too easy to conclude, by saying people here are easily stressed, feverish, hyperactive, and impulsive. It’s good that science can’t be subjective. Moira as a psychology graduate must not be subjective in judging thingsmoreover including the opinion of Curly as supporting data. It must be based on facts and data, Moira.” Doctor Stephan responded.
“Uhm… like this Moi.” Jeff interrupted while clearing his throat asking for our attention.
“I hope your presentation also processes data. Don’t just be like this. This is raw and contains many opinions. You used to have statistics courses, haven’t you? From qualitative data change it to quantitative, so it’s not too biased. Understand?” Said Jeff in his smart-ass style, his face looked up but I saw his body actually little slipped from the chair.
I gasped. My plan indeed extended my presentation as long as possible. So they were tired, dizzy and didn’t have time to ask.But suddenly Dragono, the bald king Kong tried to break my plan. Dragono provoked my presentation.
I saw Lord Jonah not reacting, his face remained flat but his head bowed slightly, as if he didn’t care about my presentation.
I was nervous. My hand was holding the pointer felt floating. my mind seemed lost. I wasn’t ready to respond to their massacre.
“Dear gentlemen, have explained from the beginning that all questions please ask at the end of the presentation. Let Moira continue her presentation.” Mrs. Rose opened her voice, her face turned to the audience one by one.
“This is not a question Mrs. Rose, this is a statement. Please be distinguished about it.” said Jeff, not wanting to lose.
“I’m sorry, gentlemen. I really appreciate the criticism and suggestions. Thank you doctor Stephan, sorry this is also still subjective. And next time a good request from Jeff I try to include, but due to time constraints and also the sample of respondents is also not possible. May I continue my presentation? This is still a lot of material.” as if I had the opportunity to be able to process words and dodge, when Mrs. Rose interceded.
“Kid, You’ve listened to them talk about your presentation. You’re too subjective, not use data and facts and even the opinions of unstable people like Angel you use for your presentation.” interrupted Dragono as if pursued my responsibility.
“Mr. Dragono, Moi’s job is to collect data on people here. This is indeed just a question and answer session with them, observing their behavior. This assessment method collects as much data as possible besides testing them with tests that have been given from the team above Moi. If it’s subjective about Angel, aren’t Mr. Iskandar the one from the police and Lord Jonah’s other colleagues, they are from the military, they also entrust the directions from Angel, are they?” I submit my argument.
Dragono was silent, my argument silenced him.
“You know that gifted ones with metaphysical abilities will be collected a lot so that respondents are collected and then processed into data. It’s not enough time and respondent for Moi, Jeff.” Explained Mrs. Rose, made a fuss with Jeff.
“But you can’t be subjective, Moi. You haven’t been graduation ceremony yet. I’ll ask Lord Jonah to poke his relationship so canceled your thesis or I hack and ransack your academic data.” said Jeff, not wanting to lose.
I gasped. Jeff was so impudent to want to harm me,
“Jeff, you shouldn’t think too logical. There are illogical abilities that you must learn by heart. If you can develop that ability, you can get things which out of mathematical calculations.”
“What more do you doubt Moi?everything in the world can be calculated with mathematics. You can buy a house whenever with your salary now. Planetary distance, the number of molecules in your ring, moreover…”
“Shut up, Jeff. Let this kid continue her presentation. My time is also limited to reporting my responsibilities this month.” suddenly Lord Jonah voiced a loud noise.
“Okay… Ok continue, please… but if not qualified, I want to finish my work too. I left many jobs, for the sake of presentation of this apprentice girl.” said Jeff while sitting up straighter.
Apprentice girl?
Ah, just ignore Jeff’s words. I had to focus on my presentation.
“I continue the presentation. In conclusion, the human brain that has developed according to the law of evolution makes humans smarter. Everything is created from the mind. Vision or foresight, making humans plan needs in the future. Imagination makes a breakthrough from human limitations. Creativity develops human abilities. Non-pathological illnesses, such as mental disorders, is created from the mind… well, this also entered the realm of Mrs. Rose is a psychiatrist, isn’t Mrs. Rose?” I asked for support from Mrs. Rose.
“Ehmm, yes Moi. Stressors and hormonal disorders can make someone mentally disturbed.” explained Mrs. Rose supporting me.
“And also because the mind can cause disease, isn’t it true, Doctor Stephan?” I gave feedback to doctor Stephan.
“Yah, Moi. Heart disease is not only caused by the wrong lifestyle, it can also be bacteria from the teeth that are not controlled. It could also be due to the wrong lifestyle. There are also because of stress or fear that increases blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, increases adrenaline and cortisol, causing an ischemic heart.” Doctor Stephan joined in.
“Thank you Mrs. Rose and Doctor Stephan. Basically from the power of the mind the body can be healthy, can be sick, can exceed physical strength, and can be smart. It depends on how we use it, manipulate it so that the mind can develop.” I said and began to master the presentation environment.
My goal was to throw feedback, in order to reduce my nervous, get pause to think and get the support of doctors Stephan and Mrs. Rose.
It worked!
“For the next about the people here, the results of this presentation have been agreed upon. Some people here have signed beforehand. Of course, there is a psychological test done for internal and state interests. I will report the results of this presentation to my leader here, it is Lord Jonah.”I said while looking at Lord Jonah.
Lord Jonah’s eyes remained cold looking at me.
“Then I continued my presentation from Jeff, Henry the telepathic phenomenon , Ron the indigo, Risty and Angel the ability to explore time, Rado the electro kinesis, Mrs. Rose the psychokinetic, Leman the fakir and the complexity of Vicko.”
“For Jeff from my point of view,he is a good person. His IQ is above normal, bright normal. He is diligent and focused on the goal. He likes challenges and dares to take risk.”
Jeff looked stunned and then smiled faintly when I presented about him.
“My personal opinion, Jeff should be released from this place immediately. The country can use its expertise to protect the country’s security from evil hackers.”
“Ah… for me it’s the same, Moi. Where I am, as long as there’s money and a computer I’m willing to be placed anywhere.” said Jeff while smiling, his eyes sparkled with delight.
“Henry, with telepathic expertise, he utilizes the power of his mind, confidence in him is focused to transfer it to the intended person. He uses brainwave line that is aligned with his purpose, similar to radio there is a transistor and a receiver. His telepathic ability starts with communicating between family members, then continues to increase, until the last time he contacted me when I first visited his cell.”
“Are you still contacted by Henry, kid? Or are you contacting each other via telepathy?” suddenly Lord Jonah asked me.
“Oh, it’s not Lord Jonah. When Henry first called Moi via telepathy, after that Moi was a bit dizzy. Maybe communicating telepathically makes me easy to tire. Next time Moi will try to learn with Henry about telepathy.” I disproved to cover my ability about telepathy with Henry.
“Okay, let’s continue, now about… Ron the indigo. Indigo is a gifted, so Ronald was born indigo. According to chakra theory, there are seven chakras in the human body. Starting from the bottom there is a colored chakra red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and finally purple. The red chakra is located at the base of the tailbone, up about one palm is orange and up again one palm is yellow and so on. End up in fontanel is purple. Color is a spectrum of light that is biased and has energy. This world also has color. Right now it’s green, and will move on to the next color, blue. That is why indigo generations began to appear or be born. They are the future generation to answer future challenges.”
“Unbelievable, great kid… is this some kind of psychological literature or psychological journal?” Dragono asked interrupting my presentation again.
“This is Moi got on the internet, Mr. Dragono. The most theory can answer at this time where indigo in psychology as a gifted or bounty. The experts also have not been able to conclude why in this era indigo people began to appear, born all over the world.”
“Yeah, look subjectively again… retrieve data from the internet. Oh… kid. If it’s like this, why should I listen to your presentation, just waste time. Come on, all of you browse at Google, everything’s done.” Dragono seemed dislike my presentation.
“Research methods need sufficient funds and time as well as respondents Mr. Dragono, moreover Moi is not a researcher, and it’s still far to being a valid researcher.” I had to be patient with Dragono’s refutation, rather than provoking others to comment.
“Okay Moi continue again to Risty and Angel, due to time constraints and lack of interaction especially with Risty, who was very ill… So I focused on Angel first, the ability to cross time into the past because of talent. She can return to the past through the sense of touch, smell, sight. it can deliver her to the past. According to Angel, this ability arises because of the right timing and added support available and can be felt it.”
“As Moi has presented before, that our blood flow whether our DNA carries the inheritance of either our ancestors or whoever has lived and felt the past events. That’s why Angel can go back to the past.”
“Then to Rado, Rado’s electro kinesis phenomenon usually occurs because of a stressor. Many cases in various parts of the world, someone is triggered to discharge electricity due to experiencing stress both acute and chronic. Some are triggered due to extreme temperature differences, for example from tropical countries to snowy countries, the body adapts by changing its metabolism, one of which manifestations of electricity can arise.”
“Continue to Mrs. Rose, a telekinesis, she can throw things with the power of her mind. Her subconscious mind is strong makes objects can be thrown. Yesterday Moi was taught by Mrs. Rose and managed to move a light object.”
“You’re great, Moi, can move things.” Jeff commented praising me.
“Well, this is can’t be explained by mathematical calculations Jeff, but the power of the mind. If you are too logical, then your mind will be shackled there.” I replied while replying to his argument earlier.
Jeff was silent, he looked contemplating my statement.
“For the Leman case, Moi hasn’t been able to learn deeper due to time constraints, but from the condition of trance makes Leman go beyond the order created by our mindset, some kind of habit or common habits. For example humans make arrangements to eat three times a day then at certain hours will appear hunger. Leman who lost time orientation make him not know when he has to eat, because his body does not prepare stomach acid which marks his hunger.” I explained about Leman the fakir.
“For Vicko, because he’s a psychopath he should be in rehabilitation not be held and pitted here. A combination of treatment between a psychologist and a psychiatrist is needed to handle it. Not be encouraged by an aggressive nature which makes him attack people and worsened his psychopath.” I explained about Vicko, I covered Vicko’s normalcy so that what Vicko’s plan to change the results of his test was not detected by Lord Jonah.
“That’s a dream, Kid! Dream! Vicko gets a big honor here! He should have died because he was sentenced to death! Remember he is a man who his status has been killed, and no more identity! Moreover, two more battles he can be free if he wins. He has been prepared to have a new identity and can leave here as someone with a new identity.” said Dragono ferociously, his eyes glaring furiously at me.
“That is an objective statement from me, Mr. Dragono. According to my knowledge, person who have disturbances, obstacles, or declared deviation in his souls should be rehabilitated and treated. Not making it worse, likewise with Angel, Ronald, Risty they are not worthy here. Isn’t that so doctored Stephan and Mrs. Rose?” I concluded, voicing my conscience’s opinion, asking for support to Doctor Stephan and Mrs. Rose as psychiatrist.
Silence environment, both doctor Stephan and Mrs. Rose in a giddy pose, as if they didn’t hear feedback from me.
Doctor Stephan looked down while writing on a piece of paper, while Mrs. Rose’s eyes were flat and her hands support her chin.
“Okay, my presentation has finished. I say thank you so much to all those present here.” I said as I closed the presentation.
Ah, hopefully there were no more strange questions or statements from those present.
“How is your respond, Lord Jonah?” Dragono said with his hand as if inviting Lord Jonah to speak.
I was pounding, waiting for Lord Jonah’s answer in my presentation. Did Lord Jonah receive my presentation? Did Lord Jonah act beyond my expectations?
“Ok, enough.” answered Jonah briefly.
“Enough?” said Mrs. Rose and Dragono together. They were shocked while their faces turned towards Lord Jonah. Everyone present also turned their eyes towards Lord Jonah.
“Yeah, I’ve had enough of this kid’s presentation. Give our files to her.” said Lord Jonah coldly while gesturing to Dragono.
Lord Jonah’s reaction was very different from what I feared, but all present did not dare to refute it.Dragono slowly moved to take the flash disk from his belt pocket.
I was still surprised and also relieved that my presentation was received by Lord Jonah.
I have imagined badly that my presentation was rejected or might be shot or thrown into the sea by Lord Jonah.
“For Doctor Stephan and Jeff you can continue your work.” said Lord Jonah still sitting.
Doctors Stephan and Jeffry stepped out of the room without saying much again.
“Now change, you present, Rose.” said Lord Jonah, surprised me.
“Okay, Lord Jonah. I prepare first. Moi, I borrow your laptop yah…” said Mrs. Rose while plugging in a flash disk and turned to the screen looking for the data signal connection.
“I’m starting, Moi. So, the history of why the Chimera Project exists is based on the desire of our top brass to form a strong state military. So far our military has been good enough, skilled and trained. But it would be nice if we could have military more than ordinary people. It’s more dexterous in fighting, stronger, smarter, healthier, more endurance on the battlefield, more able to read the battlefield and the enemy. And other advantages whose purpose is not only to minimize human casualties during the war in our military but also we will be respected by our allies and opponents.”
Click!
The LCD image showed a line of soldiers. It seemed that the image of the soldier was from an old photograph. They were short, stocky carrying a lot of weight in their backpacks, not to mention in their hand there were rifles.
“The strong country because of strong military. Experience in various wars shows the quality of soldiers determines victory in warfare. Gurkha soldiers in the Second World War for example, they can be powerful soldiers even though their posture is indeed small, they are very good at war. Their fighting spirit and physical endurance are extraordinary, Moi.”
“Besides fighting, which is not less important is the aspect of independence of a soldier in the face of trauma and stress. For example a soldier who fights alone or wounded soldier, trying to survive. Not to mention the ability of soldiers to resist hunger, able to survive in hot and cold weather, carrying heavy weapons. And after all we’ve learned, the point is the power of the mind. From mind, things can happen that are beyond human reach because of mind programming. The phenomenon of people being afraid of being chased by dogs for example, suddenly they can jump high whereas when in normal circumstances unable to jump that high.”
Mrs.’s voice Rose felt like floating. Maybe my presentation made my mind tired, so it lacked concentration.
I was very relieved that Lord Jonah accepted my presentation without requisite and Mrs. Rose supported me muffling Jeff’s words.
My mind flew to the presenter, Mrs. Rose. If the presentation woman was not in scary place like here.If she was a lecturer.
I can imagine a warm and close class, with her beauty and intelligence. Mrs. Rose would be an attractive and authoritative figure. Mrs. Rose would be glimpsed with interest by fellow single lecturers and students would scramble to ask questions or consult to her just to get attention from Mrs. Rose.
What did make quality women like Mrs. Rose was trapped here?
In a place that might not have any future at all.
“Moi, halloo… Moi… is it clear?” scolded Mrs. Rose.
I blinked and stuttered,
“Eh, yes, yes, it’s clear Mrs. Rose. Sorry, please continue.”
Click!
The picture changed again.There was an image of the human brain and its functions.
I glanced at Dragono. That man didn’t listen at all to the lengthy presentation of Mrs. Rose. That man was busy scribbling on a book that looked like an agenda.
“Now is the time for our power of minds to dig deeper to optimize human greatness, Moi.” I gasped when my name was mentioned.
“Okay enough, this is introduction of presentation about the contents of the flash disk.it is the development and research that has been achieved during here from the Chimera team. This is a state secret. We leave it to you, learn for you to develop and be useful to ease your work. By the submission of this data, it is hoped that you can dig deeper and also speed up your work. Any questions Moi?”
“Uhm… I want to be able to fly like Leman, can be telepathic like Henry. Also want to be able to produce electricity like Rado, can be indigo like Ronald,time explorer like Risty and Angel. All phenomenal things only became a brief discussion in my faculty. And now Moi is fortunate, able to see the tangible manifestation of their abilities on this island, Mrs. Rose. “
“Rose, make sure that she doesn’t omit the flash disk in her hand. If she omits it, her life will also be lost.” said Lord Jonah, standing and pointing at my face.
I gasped. Although my presentation was received, Lord Jonah was still fierce to me.
“Yes, Lord Jonah. Moi will be held responsible this data.” I replied slowly.
“Just hang it around your neck, kid. So wherever you go, it’s carried by you.” said Dragono while draping the long rope connected to the flash disk to my neck.
I was speechless when Dragono’s arm which was as big as my head draped a flash disk to my neck. It was like a dog that be put on a necklace by this giant man.
A moment later, Lord Jonah followed Dragono leave the investigation room. Just I and Mrs. Rose were in the investigation room.
“Mrs. Rose, on what occasion does Lord Jonah go to the capital?”
“He has three months leaved. So it’s a bit long, for three days. He also goes there to report verbally and all reports to General Manton.”
“General Manton, is he Ariesty’s father, isn’t he?”
“He is the highest person in charge on this island. All reports including financial statements are submitted to him. He also managed the funding for the continuity of the Chimera project. He is an army general. His wife held the rank of Major General of the Air Force named Emba Kilara. One time you will meet them, usually in two weeks they visit this island. Visiting Risty.” added Mrs. Rose
I exhaled,
“Oh, right. Risty deserves to be very special here. There is nurse Reina and Doctor Stephan. The bed is nice, medical equipment is also complete.”
“It was because of Risty’s condition that bothered General Manton to make this Chimera Project.” said Mrs. Rose
“Oh, it’s meaning beside to the interests of the country. It turns out as a form of love between the father and the daughter.” I muttered.
“Risty’s parents must be very rich, huh…” I said without thinking.
“Hmm… As a General, General Manton has sufficient authority to use the budget funds from the government. Anything can still be arranged. Push and pull in this country.”
“General Manton will be early retirement next year. As a result, beside the change of leadership in our military this year, so all funding for the secret project in this place will be stopped.”
“If it is our side, the Chimera side can convince General replacing General Manton about the importance of continuing activities here, for the benefit of the nation and state. Moi is sure. The flow of government funds for this place will not be stopped, as long as it’s not for personal gain.”
Oops…
My talk had satirized Lord Jonah.
Mrs. Rose took a deep breath and then smiled.
“Moi, how innocently you are. In our country today, it’s too easy to abuse the office for personal gain. In addition, eyeing each other’s positions is someone’s goal to justify any means. General Manton is retiring soon, so he has to keep his good name and can retire honorably, without any scandal. Ah… I have too many speak. The point is let’s just worked. don’t go along with the higher-ups. That’s beyond my authority. We all are here just following the instructions from Lord Jonah.”
“Let’s go out Moi.” Mrs. Rose said.
I took my laptop and walked out of the investigation room, following Mrs. Rose.
I touched the flash disk on my necklace. Should this thing hang on my neck forever?
I didn’t like it much. A thin nylon flash disk strap can make me itch if hanging all the time.
Ouch… maybe it need to be replaced when it had been dirty and itchy on my neck.
After dinner I returned to my room. I used my solitude to open data from the flash disk.
When I opened and entered to the contents of the flash disk, it turned out that there were so many insights and developments in the knowledge I had gained. I felt my knowledge was little.
About an hour later, I closed my laptop. Even though I was tired but my mind was enthusiastic, the contents of the flash disk had aroused my curiosity. But it took time to understand, because the contents were very structured and complicated.
I was reminded of what happened this afternoon. At the time of my presentation was shook arguments by Doctor Stephan, Jeff and Dragono.
Doctor Stephan…
I was thinking, tomorrow I had to approach Doctor Stephan.
Why would an idealist like him be on the Chimera Island and felt comfortable?
Why did he not appear when there was a duel at The Arena?
Why did he not try to save or care for the casualty?
My mind was tossed about, the number of people here and the chaos that arose like a puzzle scattered and had to be arranged to get its clarity.
Ah, it was good to contact Henry now. I tried to call out,
“Henry, Henry… Hello Henry. Can you hear me? Yahoo… Henry, Hello…”
Henry’s voice entered my head in a surprised tone,
“Why, Moi. It has been midnight, have you not slept?”
“Hehehe… yes it’s me. How could you not recognize my melodious voice like a yearning reed like this?”
Henry’s voice was excited,
“Yes, I’m sorry. I thought that crazy person was planning the destruction of this place.”
“I’m a prodigy. Without your guidance now I can contact via telepathy with you.” I was teasing him.
“Huh, so arrogant.” said Henry as if annoyed at me.
“Yeah… yeah… I’m glad you can telepathic. Usually I keep calling you first. By this way we can exchange information at any time. One day I also want you can listen to telepathy who is building an evil conspiracy here.” Henry continued, starting to tense me.
“Tomorrow I will meet you and than not being able to sleep tonight. I want to ask, what do you know about General Manton, Risty’s father, Henry?” I asked.
A few seconds passed without sound. After that, Henry answered.
“General Manton is close to businessman. And because I was involved in the transfer of money from Mr. Mc Pherson, an acquaintance of General Manton, I was secured here without clarity. General Manton can exploit my abilities, Mr. Mc Pherson lost track of me. This is also an advantage for me, if I was still outside, I could be killed by accomplice of Mr. Mc Pherson.”
“Then what do you know about this Risty, Hen?” I asked probing.
“I have never met this strange daughter from General Manton. I heard she was very good at exploring time into the future. I know her name from the guards here. You know that my cell is isolated behind. I was placed in the same area with Vicko, Rado and Leman. As if my behavior as equal with them. Whereas I’m sweet and always bekind, very much different from the two neighbors of my cell.”
I smiled even though I felt bitter in my heart. This was the second time Henry had protested himself in a cell in the same area with Vicko.
“Yes, Hen. I’ve seen it witnessed. Risty can find out the future, it’s just that she always describes it with symbols and pictures that have to look for the meaning again. She never immediately said what her future would look like. It was fear of overtaking fate, and could shorten her life.”
“Shortening of life? What does that have to do with destiny? It is Superstition Moi, not relevance.” Henry refuted.
“Uh, how do I know Hen? Maybe rules or ethics cross time like that. Who knows? I see that Risty is thin and weak. Her whole body is full of wires and medical devices. What a pity she is, Hen. Every time she is asked to run to the future to see the resolution of murder cases by the army also Lord Jonah, she became weak and powerless. The energy’s gone, Hen.”
“I can understand. Such ability certainly drains a lot of energy. Telepathy drains our energy too. I ever say it to you, don’t I?” Henry asked.
“That’s right. Now I’m so hungry anymore, Hen. My Energy was drained… ten minutes later we desist to talk anymore, okay?” I answered.
“While waiting for breakfast, you can bite the pillow first, Moi.” Henry’s voice provoked my laugh.
“I don’t want it. It’s better if I bite the bed. It’s Bigger and more solid. I must be full.” I replied his joke.
“Tomorrow we meet, Moi. But remember, no one else knows your ability about telepathy, later you will be entered the cell too by Dragono.”
“If I’m in one cell with you, I don’t mind.” I taunted.
“I’m demur.” said Henry.
“So what?” I asked in wonder.
“My food rations can be taken by you, Moi. I’m starving later. Ladies first, man suffer.” replied Henry.
I smiled again, even though Henry was in prison he could still joke.
“Ok Moi, go to sleep. I want to stand guard for another half hour. I think to night there is a telepathic line that I can hear. I want to know what events will occur, what they want, and who involved here. Good night…” Henry ended the telepathic conversation to night.
“Good night, Hen. Tomorrow I will visit you.” I said goodbye.
Ah, that’s right. I felt tired now after I made telepathy with Henry.
I must go to sleep soon, so that tomorrow would not be oversleeping.
A moment later I remembered my campus, the shadow of the table, the lecture chair, the whiteboard as if flashed between my sleepiness.
I enjoyed the process of my sleep that is comfortable until asleep.
Suddenly I heard a scream even though it was far behind, but I heard steps as if walking towards the center of the sound.
I was waked up.
That was Henry’s voice!
I jumped from my bed, wearing my sleeping pajamas.
I opened the door. A glimpse of Mrs. Rose and Doctor Stephan hurried toward the back room where Henry was still screaming.
“Get me out! Get me out of here!”
