Forgotten dream

Seeing a team of analysts directing their eyes on him, he was more than a little stressed out. Most of them were his seniors, both in practice and in age, too. It was not a good thing to twist things around here…

“I-I think that-that it is perhaps recognizing him as one of them”

“Yep, what else do you think”

“The material-I mean, the things on him disappeared. Probably means we can’t take anything from our side. Just as the government cannot use any weapon against it effectively. The same reason is behind it”

The president was still looking at him. He had some more things in mind, but he did not know what this person wanted from him.

‘Just give me some hints, big brother’

Allen continued, “Um, I think it is better to observe what happens with the injection and all, awe got it from… the animals, right?”

The president was smiling a bit and then said

“Alright. That was not everything that I have gathered all of you for. There is one additional thing. The government took these samples from the creatures that had been killed. Since there were only a few hundred of them, it was quite a work to get these things into my hand. I was thinking of what to do from here. Others matters already occupy the other researchers, right?'“

He smilingly looked at the people present. Most of them looked at him and gulped and just nodded along with him. The president continued,

“So, I was thinking someone who did not have any responsibilities among the people present could take on this task, and make a team with other researchers. Mr. Allen, maybe you can take this task for us. What do you think?”

Was there even anything room left to think? He was just going to nod along too, just like all the others were doing, like a hen moving their heads. But the president suddenly said.

“The meeting is over. Mr: Allen, you can reply to me later.” He made his assistant deal with Allen after that.

That was a load off of him, for now. He just went to his room, did some online scanning about the things that he had seen in the meeting. There was nothing he could find out.

‘Definitely, a weird liquid that was‘ Allen unknowingly fell unconscious because of exhaustion while in the middle of doing that.

… After that, he found himself at the same place that he had lost consciousness in, with the person who they had met in the institute for a few moments. There was no one else in there even though Allen could kind of remember there were other there too, but he was too drowsy. He could not even lift his body properly, he could somewhat see the same man that had met them coming closer to him wit ha syringe in his hand. The man slowly got close to him and injected the syringe into him. That was the most he could remember from the scene. What happened next was that he could feel some kind of vibration as someone was running while carrying him. Soon, before he could figure out the last spot they ended up, he woke up in bed shocked.

He looked at the spot that had the syringe inserted and, for a moment, seeing nothing relieved him. But, he could faintly see some kind of spot that had the sign of injection on it on closer observation. He looked at it and his face turned a little scrunched up with mixed feelings of shock, surprise and fear.

It looked like he had to be serious about the matter of the project that the president had discussed with him, Allen thought while looking at the contact of the president’s assistant that he had received.

Allen immediately called and signed the deal, assuring that he would do the honor to the task.

Only after the call finished and he lay down in bed again in the middle of the night, ‘he could see that he was very impatient in calling just now. Maybe that could be described more as strong, decisive, but he was sure that was not his character. What happened?’

Not to mention that Allen was not feeling very sleepy right now and that he could see some strange light in the night.

‘It is beautiful’ is all he could say about that. It was in the lands, in the skies, and it was flowing from one end to another. That was not a regular phenomenon. He hurriedly searched for it but ended up with no result. He took a picture to ask about it, but the camera… was not showing anything of that sort.

‘This will not be good’ Allen thought, being both worried and amazed at seeing this river of light flow.
