OrthocoronaVirinae

Time is an illusion

For what is 1 minute

Can be stretched to an hour

Or sometimes a day

Or even years

Chapter 1 - Origins 

They looked down upon the experiment that had been started 2 years ago. This was the last hope many felt. If the result of the experiment did not yield a concrete solution, then it was the end of the civilization. The end of the Crotominians. The end of 30000 years of evolution.

There was a definite imbalance that was beginning to cause the parameters of the experiment to twinge towards a path that did not seem fruitful enough. Something had to be done but there was a big debate. The principal investigator just did not want to tweak the parameters yet but there was huge pressure from the Elders. Hence after a long debate in the room of silence as the minds melded to one- the elders, the principal investigator and the observers. Time was brought to a stop as the room of silence only existed in the 7^th dimension. They came out.

Earth – Late 2019

The Preserver had her orders straight. She did not like it, but she would not disobey. She understood the consequences.  She knew the rules. Nothing could be brought from the outside that which did not already exist. There were totally 7 Virology research centres that had been set up across the planet earth. These were above that of the governments of the world. A secret alliance to combat the effect of genetic material left over from a civilization unknown. Not even the Crotominians understood the origins. But what they did understand was the science of its existence. She took a strain from the lab in the depths of the “Artics” back to her lab. There was some tweaking to be done. It had to be muffled… the origin.

Somewhere near Tirunelveli – February 2020

I got up from my slumber. I had been sleeping in Podhighai Malai for about 1800 earth years. I was woken up suddenly. There she was standing by the window. The only other being on the planet that could not only detect my habitat but also walk in like there was no security system in place. For anyone else they would feel strange vibes. There were rumours spread that eternal beings lived there who were above that of the world and were the creators of the ancient language of Tamizh. There were people who had witnessed miracles. But all of that is story for another day.

“What have you done Unmei?”. She looked at me with conflict in her eyes. “Taiheiyō san.. I did not know whom else to seek counsel from. My civilization will be wiped out if this experiment fails. So, I do what I am told. I do not question. But this will lead to widespread…” and she broke down. I did not understand. I had not followed the humans for a while. My mission was that of a scribe. The origin of my people is lost but there is strong evidence that the answer to it will come from breaking down the genetic material that found its way to Earth over a 100 million earth years. I did not interfere with Unmei when she showed up some 5000 earth years ago. I saved her life once and since then she showed up every few decades to check in on me. I fell asleep and then did not feel the vibe to wake up. I am getting too old for this shit, but I must see out this mission.

She explained. I started getting a grasp of the where the humans were at with their science. She put her finger on my temple. Two months in earth time would have passed.

April 2020

I knew what was going on- world leaders, cultures, wars, famines, love, ambition, power… all of it. I opened my eyes. There she was in front of me fidgeting. She took out some device and turned it on. I could see humans on there.

China Bat Expert Says Her Wuhan Lab Wasn’t Source of New Coronavirus For the past 15 years, Chinese scientist Shi Zhengli has warned the world—in English, Chinese and French—that bats harbor coronaviruses that pose serious risks to human health 

She flicked something

Trump blames China for outbreak. See how they responded.CNN's David Culver reports on how Chinese state media is responding to blame from the US for their coronavirus response.

She looked at me, “ I made sure the origin is obscured. But Lentin is using this as an opportunity to cause the destruction he has always wanted…he is implanting ideas in the so called far right across the earthly humans “ and she broke down. I was confused. I asked her, “Who is Lentin?”. She took a deep breath, “Lentin was sent here some 1000 years ago. He is a junior associate to me but now he is ambitious. He does not understand the consequences. He wants to get to the solution the quickest. The way he sees it the only way to the solution is if the control variable is at 22/7 percent. The principal investigator gave me strict instructions not to touch the variable but let it evolve. Lentin is of cult who believes accelerating it to 22/7 will result in what will save the Crotominian civilization. He does not care about earth, the life created here or the humans. The outcome will be 1.82 trillion deaths across all life on earth, 1 billion humans.”

I looked at her with shock. The only words that came out were, “Lentin has to be stopped”.  

It was few minutes before I could find more words,” I am but a lowly scribe. A historian. A message to my people and for getting help will take at least 5 earth years. We don’t have time like that.How?” 

She looked at me and smiled for the first time.
