There was no chance for Lena to press the call button for any resident help or a chance for Betts to react quickly due to Lena’s erratic reaction. How much did she try to crawl out of her bed as she struggled to maintain her cool as she felt herself become breathless?
The wonder here was why was she crawling out or even reaching over the door. What was clear, though, is the haunted wheezing look on her face as she reached out to her daughter. The alarm was not even the first thing on Betts mind but horror at seeing her mother look like she was on the verge of death.
Reaching over to help her first, Betts carried her while trying her best to unscramble her thoughts. Until she heard her mother’s words in between her wheezing did alarm set in her, something she tried to suppress or could stop, momentarily, for fear she might misstep any kind of action she would take.
Placing her mother, in seconds, on the bed and trying her best to let her

Another memory played as Horaz stayed in mid-air, looking through his “outside the damned body” vision, but opened his eyes again so he could watch a few years younger Perri and his walk into his room. The walls are plastered with sticky putty or tape that couldn’t be cleaned, anymore, plus stain’s no one knows where they came from. Several of his clothes are hung from a makeshift hanger bar on one side and his bed on the other, his cabinet couldn’t be used for all the other clothes inside since he’s not the only one using the room, but at that moment the two of them were alone.He remembers this memory since many moments Perri spent with him are memorable to him. This wasn’t the first time they’d spent studying together in his room. At times, they would have little time to spend because of their different roles at school, him at his soccer practice and her in her council duties, but they try to find time no matter

Chapter 28Pens of diverse inks are scattered on the office table Akyl is currently using, not the one provided for her in a separate room, but the one inside the observation deck she promptly made into her spot. Eyebags deep set under her eyes and cheeks tainted with ink blots were the only other indicator that she’s been busy on her own making written reports of her work in the Northwoods Lab. Under Reina’s instigation, she volunteered with gusto to implement her narrative goal even if she didn’t like Reina one bit.Suspicious of Reina’s actions and goals, she didn’t bother letting herself be in the gripes of anger and the grief-driven motivation Akyl is housing inside her. Finishing her message to her family, how they are and what they’re doing, she’s been simmering this unreasonable thought of having to answer a curiosity and challenge she could swear was only but a triviality.Still, to h

“Should we consider this a success?” said assistant A, her hand holding her tablet but looking over the view window. “The Primer’s reacting in degrees but nothing significant. Which of the frequencies did we use again?”“This one,” pointed assistant C. She leaned over assistant A’s tablet and then went back to hers. “Do you think this is enough as a record for the effects of versions one and five? The only result we got from one was that it danced something like tango?”“Or twerked its tailbones,” assistant B included in their conversation, more doing a motion with his pointer finger. “But that’s par for the course. The catch here is the activities down inside that heated body. It’s gloriously shifting from one part after another.”He was viewing the video feed directly from the cameras within the room. They are connected to the main cameras intended for

Results don’t always give a sense of excitement inside Reina’s crusty old self, at least the satisfying amount of conclusive studies make her day, but the email Akyl sent about a level of reaction to four specific wavelengths brought a sparkle in her eyes. It prompted her to quickly review the report in a blink, drinking all she could. She ended up thinking about all the possible why and hows that can be used as food for thought.Though this is only a tentative result, she’s positive it would be a great deal of progress if they continue with their pursuit, thus Reina suggested Akyl and the duo Min-Ain and Cristian converse about the effective changes if there will be on the four Wavelengths and what manner they should be focusing on. That way, any other unnecessary goals will be promptly eliminated to make their lives easier in managing theories and results.She knew there were more annoying papers to manage as a head of her department,

Lights remained open in Reina’s office when she received a message for a video call meeting from Prof. Tenorio.

The rest can be just the confetti she’s bound to sweep away. Also, she only gets these by her assistants’ word of mouth through a secret recording she knew how to hack from the secretary handling the meetings.The mystery identity won’t ever be known to Reina but she’s happy to pay them a pretty penny for those recordings. The least she could do is support a struggling freelance team intent on pro

Back at her office with minutes to spare, she opened her access to the security cameras and used her code key that could access firewalls that prevent program altering or file tampering. She only had to rewind in the last hour to the certain rooms she passed through and log those videos for “inspection,” then send them to her assistant.“The usual,” she typed.Once the file was sent, her conference call notification alerted her of the two incoming names, Martes Tenorio and Eldric Felizar. Both are calling at the same time, so she assumed they’d already caught up with each other before including her in the group.Entering the call, she was greeted by the exhausted face of Eldric with the backdrop of a white wall so bright that she could swear there was no shadow even if he leaned back and blocked a source of light. As for Prof. Tenorio, he was sitting on a black chair with bright lights behind

Chapter 29 The noise of a busy street did not disturb Min-Ain’s noise cancellation earplugs since he’s been playing on his phone once they sat at the outdoor table of the café Cristian suggested they have dinner in. Originally, he wanted the boy to explore the city with the free time they have but Min-Ain’s form of relaxation and entertainment came from lounging indoors, more for the ease of access he has to his equipment and the fact they could just order the food they want since everything is paid for. Cristian didn’t feel like doing that for today, especially after they met with Reina yesterday. Min-Ain finished the application he suggested would be a beneficial program they could utilize for using the new Wavelength, both capable of creation, calibrating, and detecting specific frequencies the same way the D-city team has. Though, this one only works with the Wavelength from the Dimension Pocket incidents originating from A-city and C-city. Promptly stored in its system are the r

Reina smiled when she opened her document as she updated Eldric and Prof. Tenorio on the progress of observing the Primer’s behavior, as Prof. Tenorio requested. The highlight, as she paused, was the exact video they were watching on their screens.She had sent a clip of when the Primer-beta, “a.k.a. Horaz Recto.” She made sure to look for records of his identity the moment he turned his body back into a human. The shock of his identity not only solidified Prof. Tenorio on his theory that the Primers have a level of sentience, but that they are humans in origin. Or should they consider it in reverse?Eldric noted that if this was the case, was it more plausible to communicate with them? But the answer to that was a simple no because Reina explained that whenever he reverted to his Primer body, the boy seems to not gain any sentience. Rather he has selective episodes of sentience. There were moments in the record whe
