Entropy
The Order.
Chapter 4
Place unknown:
Distant voices: “Unmar verok treabor, meloosh betfar mef”
The voices fading in and out like a mist, one thousand voices talking in disjointed unison.
Who's there i cant understand you.....
Sound of Ben's voice echoing through the void
Distant voices louder: “Unmar verok treabor, meloosh betfar mef....”
Please i don't understand i.... all i see is a blue mist ....please, please tell me what's happening...
Distant voices very loud: “Unmar verok treabor, meloosh betfar mef....”
ahhhhhhhh my head, it feels like its going burst, too .....too many voice too loud i.... i don't understand.
Ben's nose starts to bleed, reeling while clutching his head in agony.
A dark rumble getting louder and louder, drowning out every cry Ben makes, like a thousand claps of thunder dancing to a nightmare of sound.
Distant voices deafening: “Unmar verok treabor, meloosh betfar mef...” sudden silence as Ben snaps his eye lids open “betfar mef....understand us”.
Female voice: “Ben... BEN”
Female voice: “I thought i told you not to harm him....”
Scientist 1: “W w we didn't ma'am, he just started bleeding”
Female voice: “Well don't just stand there wake him up”
Ben begins to hear in his mind, the image of his friend the editor appears before him
Whispers: I hear, I see, you learn your path..... wake up.
“GASP” “cough cough”.........
Whhh Where am i.....
Female voice: “You gave us quite a scare there Ben.....” “You have been in a drug induced coma for the past two weeks, we started to notice unusual brain patterns that is why we had to do it”
Why, why are you doing this to me.....
Female voice: “Men leave us”
Group of guards and scientists: “But ma'am we don't think....”
Female voice: “I said LEAVE, don't make me repeat my self again”
The guards leave, silence except the sound of the strange woman walking in front of Ben.
All around are various machines and equipment, most of which Ben has no idea what they do let alone how they work, Ben tries to move but cant as he is strapped to a strange X shaped metal slab.
Female voice: “The board have allowed me to tell you why we brought you here”
Ben silently nods
Female voice: “First let me introduce my self my name is Julia Markson, Head of this research lab, owned by the order.
We are, or shall i say, our mission is to protect you, you have something that could benefit mankind unlike anything that has come before, but we don't have long to finish.
You were brought here because you are very important to our plans, you see Ben, there are other forces that see you as a threat and we couldn't let any harm come to you....”
Ben half laughing: “haha harm... HARM... hehe since i have been here your guys are the only ones that have harmed me....”
Julia: “Most regrettable i assure you” Slowly leaning over Ben “You see they already know we have you, and they would do anything to get at you”
Ben: “They... whos they”
Julia: “They call them selves the Purifiers, They believe in the purity of mankind above all else”
Ben: “But why would they want me, I'm just another guy”
Julia: “Tell me Ben how much do you know about genetics”
Ben: “Bits, errr we are made up of cells and errr in each cell we have DNA which is like a....... ermmmm a, a blueprint that tells the cell how to grow...”
Julia: “Well you see Ben, that DNA you talk of is packed into tiny bundles we call chromosomes, humans no matter who they are have 46 of these bundled together as 23 pairs.”
Ben: “Ok but what does that have to do with me...”
Julia: “Well my friend you have a 48, but you don't suffer from any genetic disorders, your a perfectly healthy human being but those extra two chromosomes are very unique, we believe.....”
Loud Explosion.
Debris flies across the room, a large chunk hits Julia to the floor.
The floor and walls shake and groan under the strain as the roof begins to collapse.
Julia: “cough cough, Ben please trust me... dont tell them anything.......” “you have heard the voices already i......i go back to the site”
Ben: “I don't understand, cough cough Julia JULIA”
Just then three men storm the room, they mask Ben's face, sleeping gas slowly fills Ben's lungs.
Distant voice of many rolling into one: “Unmar verok treabor, meloosh betfar mef”
Fading
“Unmar verok treabor, meloosh betfar mef”
Fading to silence
“Unmar verok treabor, meloosh betfar mef”
