"Thank you, Sunny," responded Sherpa with a smile.
" My name is Sherpa, I am 33 years old, I hail from a country called Nepal and joined this High school at City B as a part-time peon at the age of 18. I am still there working as peon during the day and commanding the security guards to keep vigil of the school at night time. "
"I have been seeing and climbed mountains since childhood. My parents are no longer alive. I have no idea about any siblings"
"I accompanied the students and their teacher on the camping trip to help them all as much as possible."
"Now I will tell you about Luke."
"Luke Sir is a friend of mine. He is 30 years of age and works as a professor in the College at City B. He has a very high I.Q, almost short of being a genius. He is the only child of his parents."
" His parents are renowned professors in their respective fields and are members of the teaching faculty of the University in City D. Luke did his Ph.D. in Quantum Mechanics. Quantum Mechanics was also known as quantum physics, quantum theory, the wave mechanical model, or matrix mechanics. It included quantum field theory, a fundamental theory in physics which describes nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles."
He further added that Luke had told him that he would join them at the base of the forest where the bus stopped. He had been sent on the camping trip by the Management Committee of the School.
Zia Ma'am is one of the teachers of the school in charge of this camping trip. Zia Ma'am is 27 years of age and holds a Doctorate in Botany whereas her brother is doing his Doctorate in Thermodynamics. Zia Ma'am joined this school as a stop-gap arrangement as she is expecting a job as a professor in the college. Her father has a government job and mother is a homemaker.
Zia Ma'am had a god-given gift since childhood. She had the ability to perceive events in the future i.e. beyond the normal sensory contact, meaning she was clairvoyant and clairaudient. She could feel the vibrations of animals and plants, whenever she moved a palm or both palms over the plants or animals. Thus, she instantly got to know what was troubling them. If the plants or animals or even birds were ever sick, in pain or needed food or water or someone to just talk to them, she would be there to help. She felt that the plants and animals and birds would communicate with her via telepathy. She strongly believed in the saying that we are connected to mother earth through each living thing, but modernization had had its effect on this sensitive bond. People did not care or even if they had this trait they would keep it hidden for being laughed by the people.
Recently, she had started seeing Aura around plants and animals and anything that was living like the grey areas in the aura which signified that the plant or animal or bird had an illness coming. She did a Google search and found various websites on spirituality as well as healing energies. Zia Ma'am thus gauged a lot of information from various websites. She wants to learn more about these healing therapies.
We put up the camping equipment comprising 7 tents, had our dinner and slept. Early morning before daybreak we were visited by bears. One of the bears was trying to rip open a tent. But Luke fired at them to scare them away and they left. We had to abandon the rest of our camping and took a route down the cliff. Unfortunately, we took a wrong turning and ended up on a different track.
The satellite phone of Luke did indicate that we had taken a wrong route and we could get back on track but we went straight instead of turning. So we camped in a cave and the next morning we decided to explore the tunnel at the back of the cave.
All of them had walked in single file along with their backpacks. Luke had taken the lead followed by the 5 boys followed by Zia and after Zia came the 5 girls and I was at the end.
The entire tunnel was illuminated from the various vents on the sides of the smooth walkable tunnel. After some time the tunnel opened into an inner bigger cave which was cave was well lit and the tunnel continued after this huge tunnel. A humming sound of machines could be heard.
There were 7 or 8 scientists working at various computer terminals. They had overalls of transparent stuff and cloth-like material covering their shoes. There were two identical structures that looked like telephone booths with glass. Behind that, there were a lot of machines connected by wires to a huge lump of something that was pulsating. It looked like a peeled walnut or a brain type structure.
Out of the 8 persons one was very tall about 2.31 m (7' 7" ) in height. He was wearing full protective apparel. Soon 7 scientists left and only this tall one was left alone. As they left, the tall scientist removed his headgear and said in a loud voice, "You are all safe now and you can all come out of the tunnel into the cave."
"We were all zapped. How did this Great Khali (Indian Wrestler having a height of 2.16 m) know that they were here?"
He told us that his name was Mono and he was a scientist. He was born here, educated here. He father was also a scientist. They were not allowed to leave this area. Their community living below and behind the mountain. The tunnel on the other side connects to the base and other tunnels lead to the small town. Nothing could be visible from the air as it was camouflaged by the green leaves of trees as well as the green roof of each house etc.
