Chapter 26 - Chapter 23: ‘Land’s End’ Beyond the Cartwheel Galaxy and the Forgotten Lands

Every place on earth, every corner on earth has a forgotten land, misplaced and misused, abused to no more breathing life remains, denied of receiving the warmth of sunshine brings, shunned from ever again, being heard.

All this time stood silent, without any intent to break being silent, like a hunter after its prey; lurking in the shadows for its moment to submit and obey.

Being a time traveller and space traveller through the black hole discovered at the Cartwheel Galaxy, wasn't easy. Recently discovered, indications of new life on the planets on the other side after crossing the perimeter of the black hole were highly interesting. New radio waves were received by many of Ben and Cree radio frequencies. Just needed a bit of tune for a better reception.

Cree found a file named 'Soup Fly'

Cree recognized it was the project of the current addition to the fleet.

Blue prints and photos of the new addition to the fleet Cree recognized made him smile, reminiscent of the good times tied to every piece that formed a part of a humongous project. Also noticed, at the end of the the files, some open files with a weird name Cree did not recognize.

It had some coordinates, he did not recognize. Cree's curiosity increased.

-perhaps Ben's location?

Cree quickly clicked on those weird named files…

A letter - started like this:

🃏

A forced hiatus many took to heart to be from us; hahaha, funny joke….

A wise stroke no one seen d to come.

At the end, only a inexplicable detail left:

A bone….

Ada's last field auditing took her to the further corner of earth, a place called 'Lands End', forbidden…. In time after a drastic change that almost depleted a possibility of recreating life, astonishingly was able to recreate itself. The wonders of Mother Nature difficult to understand.

For Cree, who loves life mystery and fascination for life itself, the fact that a 'forgotten land; the so called 'Lands End' a taboo, it really existed. For his teenager age, once learned that place existed, really increased his curiosity of knowing how true it was. How magnificent it was, how luscious it was. It almost drove him crazy. An obsession that slowly but eagerly invaded Cree's mind.

-the missing link could be found here….

Who? Said Ada…

Benjamin? Benjamin Martin?

Cree seemed to be in deep thoughts, reminiscent of the great times they had together, building and testing the new prototypes for the new fleet they planned to expand and explore new planets and cultures, new languages. They both loved that, they thrived discovering new cultures and worlds.

Cree's face suddenly changed. His expression, the clear bright blue eyes and sparkling smile, suddenly changed. His skin turned pale, like fainting. He noticed how close he was to a chair and moved himself closer and dropped tired on the chair, no one noticing he had almost fainted, did not know what just happened to him. A moment of hesitation no one noticed.

Not aware of what happened, he just took a deep breath and continue his chores.

-hun, said Ada, from the other corner of the room, you have been working without break to find Ben…. Please relax and take a break..

You could get sick….

Cree was so absorbed by what he was looking at on his computer screen, could not believe his eyes…. A hidden file on his Home Screen called his attention. A file saved on his private emails popped up….

And it was last saved by Ben. It described a series of coordinates of a place, photos, screenshots, map, list of items to gather in order to be prepared for the possible problems to face when ariving there.

The file had a name: 'Land's End'…..

Along with new finalized blueprints of the new project - an additional member to Cree's fleet: The Soup Fly', named after an incident they both had at a food restaurant involving a fly in their lunch.

A fly landed on Cree's soup. Steve's by Benjamin- at that time a cook in a food restaurant, got into a fight, physical fight that lasted like an hour and stopped when Cree throwing Benjamin through the second floor of the restaurant. Lucky, Benjamin fell into a cart passing by, it was full of hay.. lucky him…. Cree caught up with him to keep the fight…. Spectators looked for both hoping to have continued the fight…

And they continued fighting….

On the street….

Getting inside a horse stable, kept punching, right hit to Benjamin jaw, followed by a push from Cree, pushing him to a water feeder for horses, did not stop them. All drenched in water, Benjamin got even angrier. His face red and wide opened eyes, made Cree laugh uncontrollably and funny, which made Benjamin angrier. As he stood up, all drenched and dripping horses drinking water, look so funny to Cree, that he started to laugh uncontrollably….

Benjamin attempted to hit him once more.

But couldn't. Way too tired of fighting…..

Instead, Cree extended his hand to help Benjamin to get out of the horses water drink station. Once out they look at each other, they both burst into laughter, they way both looked, pathetic, dirty, wet and sweaty, like mine workers….. At that time they noticed it was better to join forces, not to fight anymore…. To fight for a better world. Both understood it was better to keep being friends, not enemies. A helping hand Cree offered to Ben, sealed the pact….

An interesting contract kept for life….

Years passed by, many interesting projects treated by, some did not succeed, but made their friendship grew stronger.

The Soup Fly', their latest project needed to be tested, next in line, that would allow them to travel through the black hole to other dimensions and planets, save time travelling, amongst other interesting facts, and meet other cultures through time travelling. Perhaps go far to meet Benjamin family, or perhaps Cree's roots.

There was something on Cree's mind that drew him to inquire more about Ben's background and of course, whereabouts.

Cree's needed to find out Ben's whereabouts and of course, the reason of his disappearance from the earth.

🃏

Perhaps a time traveller?

Cree sat in front in Benjamin's computer. Way too many files and projects were collected on that computer along other of his ideas. A bank full of innovative and creative practical environmentally friendly devices for studying and travelling to other worlds. Weapons and study equipment, collected from other members of the club they both funded with the assistance of other creative minds and other scientists.

Other philanthropist friends from around the world were also important contributors and supporters of this huge cause, to serve, protect, assist and improve the better life not only on this planet, but others being discovered on the galaxy.

The bones found had a hidden DNA message hidden, that Ben started to solve. Perhaps a new discovery related to his ancestors? Benjamin commented to Cree about finding a twin brother he had, never found and whom Ben still is looking for. They both grew up together, but at some point during high school troop studies, they got separated.

-could this be Benjamin twin?

That idea really made Cree feel uncomfortable. He felt he must help his best friend, his life, his pal, his mate…

Here's another dilema Cree will have to face.

Yes indeed, more stories are to come, more worlds to meet, more life's to save and improve.
