Trapped in Time

What would happen if you got stuck in Time? Zia has completed her Ph.D. in Botany and has applied for the post of lecturer/ Professor. She joins a High school as a temporary teacher and is entrusted with the task of leading a group of ten students on a trekking /camping expedition. On the way they meet a guy who seems to be a trouble maker but later, he proves to be a pillar of strength. Early morning their camp is attacked by Bears and they flee taking a different route. But they are lost. They enter a lost world where people are living, in hiding, for over 250 years. Their technology is much advanced as compared to ours. Their world is called ‘Utopia’ but now it is changing due to an oppressive ruler, meaning the ills of our world have manifested in Utopia too. They are trapped in the time of this hidden world and want to help the people there fight against the oppressive ruler and his cronies. The oppressive ruler wants to make a number of Time Machines by using the brains of the scientists who died in harness at the site of the experiments. They all decide to help the good citizens of ‘Utopia’ the lost world. The huge brains are destroyed and the Orbs of the scientists escape from the huge pulsating Brain to help them in their mission of destroying the Huge brains at other centers. In this process, the crystals that are used in the hypnotizing guns are almost finished and to get more they split up to go to the 'Magical World' through a curtain which is actually a portal. The Magical World is a flat man made Earth-like satellite, which was made as a joke to taunt the scientists 7000 years ago, and which is still operational. Here they meet the inhabitants. They are fascinated with the advancement of science especially the talking chips and the flying cars. They see a completely different world where animals, plants, rocks, water etc. can talk. Before you touch anything you need to seek permission. They also meet the Aliens called the 'Crocodile Race' who have come to the Magical World (the flat satellite) to get supplies. They see a spaceship being guided to land by the scientists of the Magical World. They also see the inside of the mountain where the controls are situated which help in maintaining the environment of the Magical World. They get an invite from the Aliens to visit ‘Titan’ the satellite of Saturn where the Crocodile race has settled. At present they are on the mother Ship going to Titan. **************************** Will try to post a chapter in a week now.

Farewell to the Magical World (Part 1)

Sherpa had explained the entire conversation to the childern assembled in the dorm. Aarnav had joined them and explained that they need not worry. In a way, time had been slowed down by the Utopians and it was even more slower here in the magical world. He said, to understand without confusion, try remembering the Chronicles of Narnia.

The children understood when things were explained in such an easy manner. They had already learned from Mono, that the scientist in Utopia had developed their technology in every field to such an extent that is was far far superior to the cities above.

Aarvin added," Operation Return will commence tonight around 8 pm!"

"So, Nanu and Zen please get ready!"

"Also inform the 50 Orbs to be ready to accompany you back to Utopia!"

"The rest of the children, Sherpa and I will accompany you two till the portal, to see you off. Two of our elders will accompany you, then leave you with Lilly and thereafter, return to the Magical World using special devices."

"I hope all is understood?" he asked.

"Aah yes! one more thing, kindly feel free to take whatever information you want available in the library. It will be provided in in a pendrive for each one of you."

"Strict understanding is that it will be shared in your family and will not be shared with scientists or in the social media."

"If you want to take the clothes that were provided to you, it is allowed."

"The pendrive and information in it as well as your clothes will give ample proof to your young ones that the memories you will recount to them in the future were not just stories but real incidents."

"Thank you Aarvin," Nanu and Zen responded.

"You are welcome."

"The matter you choose will also be put in other pendrives for the rest of your friends to take back with them to Earth when they return from Titan."

Now go ahead and get ready for 'Operation Return', you do not have much time," Aarvin added with a smile.

"Ok, I will be going now to ask the elders as to who will be going with you," Saying this, Aarvin got up and left the dorm.

"I will inform the Orbs," said Zoya.

"I will come with you," saying this Sherpa followed Zoya and they both left the dorm.

Nanu, we will help you get your things together and the boys will help pack whatever Zen wants to take with him," said Cathy.

"Thereafter, we will head to the library,"added Sunny.

"Sunny kindly take the boys to your dorm and help Zen pack, thereafter, we all meet up outside the library." Cathy added.

Sunny, Zen Danny ,Chris and Ben exited the dorm of the girls to help Zen pack. There was nothing much to do as all Zen's clothes had been placed at the foot of the bed. This included the clothes he had come to the Magical World in. A bagpack had been placed there also.

"By the time we get home we will have lots of clothes," Danny commented after looking at the clothes.

"Yes, you are right. We will need to collect the clothes from a locker in Utopia, remember?" Sunny heaved a big sigh.

"Yes, the clothes and the camping equipments etc will really be cumbersome to carry."

I am sure, Luke Sir, Zia Maam as well as Mono and Lilly will come up with a solution," responded Zen.

There was a bagpack that the clothes were placed in. After that the boys proceeded towards the Library. Similarly, the girls had done likewise and they also proceeded towards the Library.

Meanwhile, Sherpa and Zoya communicated with the Orbs and the 50 Orbs who were to go back to Utopia, headed to collect the crystals to take back. Thereafter, Zoya and Sherpa reached the Library. They had seen the others heading for the Library and had followed them.

Sherpa was very happy to see the children dividing responsibilities among themselves. They would grow up to be great citizens of their country and do the country proud.

In the library they hunted for information about the chip procedure to make plants, trees, animals etc talk. They also looked for information of the flying cars. Then they looked for historical information about how the Magical World came into being.

Soon Aarvin joined them and the children informed him about the information they wanted to take back with them.

"Hmmmm, You want the historical information about how the Magical World came into being but you do not want information on how we run it?" Aarvin asked.

"Well, we thought you might not want to part with that information as it might fall into the wrong hands?" said Zen.

"No, even if it does, it will not matter. Everyone will think it is a hoax. A flat Earth satellite that too on the dark side of the moon is imposible." Aarvin replied.

"The far side of the Moon is actually the lunar hemisphere that always faces away from Earth, as opposed to the opposite near side."

"The terrain is rugged, with craters and very little flat and dark lunar maria (seas). The dark side actually means "unknown" instead of "lacking sunlight" – both sides of the Moon experience two weeks of sunlight while the opposite side experiences two weeks of night."

"As far as your scientific informationthat is available from Earth, 18 percent of the far side is occasionally visible from Earth due to libration but the remaining 82 percent remained unobserved."

"In 1959, this side was photographed by the Soviet Luna 3 space probe and pictures were publisned in 1960 as the first atlas of the far side, by the Soviet Academy of Sciences."

"The Apollo 8 astronauts were the first humans to see the far side in person when they orbited the Moon in 1968. Thereafter, there were numerous manned and unmanned soft landings on the near side of the Moon. But very few on the far side of the moon."

"The Magical World is a flat man made satellite on the far side of the moon. It is operated through machinery in the mountain. We have a short vedio that helps our students understand. Should I put that in the pendrives for each one of you?" Aarvin asked.
