Luminous Scans Novels & Stories

“Her walking through restrictions? Get very used to it.” Inside the chamber was a dome of glass and crystal. No furniture. No shelves. There was just a circular platform in the center, suspended slightly above the ground, with luminous streams flowing toward it from all directions like rivers of light. Above the platform hovered a three-dimensional map of Luminary—glowing, turning slowly. Continents, cities, mountains, and oceans are all made of pure luminous threads. Seraphine’s mouth fell open. “It’s… beautiful," Rian almost cried. “This is the greatest day of my life.”

"So was I a robot back then?" "I won't take it as an insult but a good example. Yes, sir. Your heart scan always had no resplendent lights," Now, it caught Juma's attention. "What resplendent lights?" "You know your scan was still on to help you with the disguise. Always when your heart was scanned, there was only one color of light that was dim and it felt lifeless. But since you started talking about Miss Stella, your heart would react voluntarily and release emotions that are further reflected into more lively lights.

"General, with all due respect, how can we be certain these scans are reliable? Have the tests been verified?" O'Malley’s gaze swept the room, his demeanor cool and composed. "These scans were conducted by multiple high-tech industries and government agencies. The results were the same across all platforms. Every source we consulted confirmed that after 1,000 feet, our scanners encountered nothing but a black void. We used different methods, recalibrated the equipment, and tried everything. Same result." Danial felt a cold pit forming in his stomach. A thousand feet into the ruins, and then… nothing? That shouldn’t be possible.

Just… control. Doctor Cole arrived moments later, expression calm but careful. His eyes flicked between Lucien and me, sensing the storm ready to erupt. “Sir… Ophelia…” His tone was measured, almost cautious. “Is everything…” “Yes. Everything is not fine,” Lucien snapped. “She just had a… movement. Unusual. I want another scan. Full, detailed. Every angle. I want results now.” “I… I just…” I started, voice trembling, “I’ve just been scanned. We don’t…”

"Could you let me take a look at the product?" Even Timothy frowned this time. "Ms. Jessie, this isn't the time for games. Please step aside." Jessie clicked her tongue, but still said politely, "The ocular scan tech works by scanning a patient's body and providing basic data. It then cross-references with the medical database to instantly give a read on their condition, easing the workload for doctors. Is that right?" Timothy blinked in surprise. He subconsciously glanced at Jack. Jack didn't so much as glance back at him, but his presence was enough to make the air tense.

“You understand those scans, right? Because they all look like static to me. Like—you know those old TV snow screens? That. But somehow worse.” Harlow grinned. “Yeah. Not my first rodeo.” “Oh good, great, perfect. When it prints out, can you, uh, draw a little gummy‑bear outline on it so I know which blob is the baby blob?” She snorted. Aiden didn’t even look up. “We are not drawing on the scan, Lukas.” “Why?” Lukas demanded like he’d been told Christmas was cancelled. “Because I can explain it to you as many times as you want when we get home,” Aiden said gently.

She ignored Sebestian question, rolling the scanner this way and that, trying to make sense of what her brain was trying to convince her of but no matter how much she changed the position, it still didn’t change what she was seeing. “Dell?” Sebestian asked, his concern evident in his tone when he uttered the single word. He shifted uncomfortably, the scanner still digging into his abdomen, putting pressure on his bladder but sucked it up. He watched as she clicked a couple of buttons on the keyboard and the image froze before she enlarged it slightly. Staring intently at the image with a goofy grin on her face before pulling a piece of paper from her wallet.

J uttered blankly. "Yes, but you're people are not. According to Mavis source, the people of Luminous are being held captive as slaves near the border of Luminous. They've been guarded by the members of the Scarked Triad." His father said. He's watching E.J intently and he witnessed how a sudden emotions ran in his eyes. "How sure you are of this info? I saw it of my own eyes how luminous people executed one by one." E.J uttered in heavy ordeal. He saw how his wall melted little by little.

Somehow, that hurts more. Dr. Adler pulls out a scan and holds it up to the light. “You see this?” He points at a massive dark blot spreading like rot across the image of my brain. My stomach lurches. He sets it down, picks up another scan. This one is cleaner, almost innocent in comparison. “Now this one.” The blot is smaller. So much smaller. “The first scan is from today. The second, last month.” His voice is steady. Mine is not. My ears ring. His mouth keeps moving, but all I hear is static. White noise. My luck has always been bad, but this feels cruel.
