They were placed inside a big room. The glass windows in it were large so they could see the outside freely. Even the ceiling of that pavilion was made transparent, so they could see the moving traffic of hover cars and hover planes from the spot they sat and talked."How come you are here?" Ben Nassor repeated his postponed question. He was puzzled, why the couple didn't take their chance to go back to their own time and were willing to go through dangers to help him instead?"It was a mistake," Herman admitted. "We were curious to find out how our experience in Osiris can influence the future as 'living legends'. Plus we want to return the favor of you saving us by correcting the 'mistakes' we might have done after returning to our time. But our time machine was destroyed. And you said you have another way to send us back to our time, so here we are.""Anyway, we went through the regular route with Joe Han and other comrades' help," said Amanda. "But I think Sharpo has arranged all
Just then, the four guests felt the hover plane descending. And then a door was opened wide. The plane has landed. Judging from the landscape, it turned out the plane has landed in a city park outside Harold Land."Very well, as thanks for your courtesy, our dear guests, if you want to leave, be my guest," said Sharpo, extending his hand to the exit.Herman and Amanda didn't expect them to leave that easily from the clutches of the Union. Of course, they accepted the offer gladly, and then they immediately went down the escalator out of the doorknob-shaped hover plane. They were afraid the Supreme Chancellor of the Ladder would change his mind."C'mon! Let's go away from here!" Amanda shouted, reminding everyone that the objective to free Ben Nassor has been accomplished.Just then, Sharpo managed to convey a message to Ben Nassor."Mr. Ben Nassor, I hope we can meet again. I'm still opening the offer of cooperation to build the Tormato," said Sharpo. Ben Nassor just nodded, and then
When they were searching for something they could use, they just realized that this place was once a motorcycle garage. Beside the shelves covered with plastic sheets and thick dust on them, they saw posters of Stefan Everts and Antonio Cairoli on their respective rides. They were the legendary Motocross Grand Prix World Champions whom Herman surely recognized."I have a funny feeling about this. Let's search for a motocross bike that was still usable!" said Herman excitedly. After seeing the pieces of equipment, the tools, and the posters in that room, it was apparent that this place used to be an ancient motocross bike garage.Hurriedly, Herman and Amanda searched for a bike they could use. How lucky they were! A 450 cc motocross bike was found in tip-top shape, with the key on the ignition. Herman immediately removed the sheet covering that bike.Thank goodness, this "ancient" two-wheeled vehicle was still in one piece and quite clean, not dusty. Herman must remove the cover slowly
The lovers were shocked and didn't expect to be pursued by the enemy hover planes from the northern lands. Moreover, those were bigger, faster hover jets with more firepower with big cannons than theirs.Sure enough, the pursuing hover jets began to be visible behind them without telescopic display. Herman assumed manual control and accelerated his jet with top speed southwards.Suddenly, the pursuers hailed them with a radio call. "You two, turn your phone around and come with us quietly!"Herman and Amanda were aware that this plane was stolen from the Union, so both Union planes could communicate directly with each other. But they didn't reply at all.Getting no response, the pursuers were upset. And it was expressed through their next call. "We promise we won't hurt you."Of course, the couple ignored it."Respond now, or we'll shoot you down!"This time their promise has turned into a threat. But of course, Herman still ignored it.Suddenly, Herman was shocked by a loud zapping s
The global climate change crisis, the global temperature rise the earth is experiencing now is resulted from the rise of sea levels due to the melting of the ice on both the south and north pole.This was because the earth once had an Ice Age in the Pliocene Era. Earth's orbit was shifted from the original position on the south and north ecliptic planes. Now the earth is finding its way back to the ecliptic path which exposes it to the sun more and more, rising the planet's temperature and changing the climate.When the earth's temperature dropped at the beginning of the Ice Age, the north and south poles changed position, causing the sea to drown the Pangaea.The erosion that happened to the Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza was the proof that the megalith sites and pyramids scattered all over the globe were the legacies of Proto-Ancient Egypt, the Osirians in the Pliocene Era. The Pliocene Era thought to be entirely primitive had the sophisticated technology ten times more advanced th
A great mass gathered in front of the great prison, Bastille in Paris. Near the entrance, peasants staged an uprising. Riots erupted, and palaces, cathedrals, and monasteries were plundered and burnt. Bastille Fortress was engulfed in an enormous flame. Great charcoal black clouds of smoke shot up from the rooftops and towers. A man stood on top of a stool, making a speech to rouse the rebels. His speech was greeted with shouts of patriotism that filled the sky.“Vive la nation![1]" A farmer yelled, raising a stick in his right hand. A red, white, and blue French flag was tied on that stick.“En avant![2]" shouted another, rousing the mass marching behind him to move on towards the prison gate of Bastille. He held a spear. Many of the rioters were armed with firearms."The reason for people’s raid on Bastille is that the King has been oppressing the people. The people demand a Revolution to crush the king’s authority and power. The people demand the release of their political leaders
“Didn’t you see one when you bought a ticket in the building?” asked Bazin. “There must be a crew room where the time machine and the crew who operates it are.”Geoffry wouldn’t give in to an argument. “But at least, we can feel the weather at that time, or a breeze, not just images, and sounds!”“But it’s different!” Austin interrupted. “In augmented reality time travel, we dive into that world, not just that ancient IMAX show with rocking chairs and stuff like that.”“That’s what it is, Geoff,” Eleonore added. “What do you expect? Blood splattering on your face?”Then Eleonore turned to Amanda. “Manda, why so silent? Give Geoff a protest or something! ‘Twas your grandpa who invented this ChronoTour virtual time machine, wasn’t it?”“Just let him be,” Amanda retorted. “You know, I am disappointed myself. Geoff’s right. This virtual time travel machine, ChronoTour doesn’t bring us into the time and space we want.”“But didn’t you say your grandpa invented the time machine for that pu
Several years ago, Sonia once hosted an event that invited and presented the renowned scientists from the World Science Community. The theme of the TV show that night was related to the journals in Professor Marwan Batubara’s blog about the Mayan Calendar.However, it wasn’t the prediction of the End of the World that would occur on December 12, 2012, that made her cancel the schedule on other themes. The interesting thing was Professor Marwan Batubara’s dispute about that prediction that greatly attracted the world’s attention. In his blog, Marwan wrote that the Mayan Calendar didn’t predict the end of the world in 2012. Instead, it was a journal that provided information about the time of extinction of Ancient Egypt and its civilization.The news on Facebook and internet forums about this dispute were viral and widespread. But it made the real problem and the meaning of the prediction vaguer. Sonia once sent questions by e-mail to Prof. Marwan. But, instead of getting an answer, she
