Chapter 6 - Returning Home

As Tron boards the flight from Hawaii to Vista, a city located in California.

After 5hrs, he finally reaches home, soon rushes off to kitchen to get some quick bite his favorite snack spicy potatoe chips, in the first bite he snivels, during the past training he was nearly tortured by his thoughts as he dearly misses his favorite food and gets enlightened about the exquisite flavor.

Peter: calm down Tron, don't over indulge you got to fast one day before going to hibernation.

Tron: come on dad, I will be in the hibernation tank between 3-7 weeks, during that time everything will be liquid.

Peter: Well sleep early today, tomorrow we will going to the base in Antarctica.

During that day, Tron did over indulge in food as he knew there would be no food during the awakening so he order 1 large pizza, gone shopping to the nearest supermarket for chocolates, soft drinks, fried chicken, every favorite food since his childhood.

In the morning as Peter goes to wake up Tron, he soon gets to see the ton of junk food in the bin.

Peter: wake up Tron, there will be no food for you today, pack all your things and be down there within an hour I will be having my breakfast and finish some work.

Tron: what the hell!!! no breakfast, I haven't yet completed to satisfy my other cravings and no food today, damn it's gone be tough day.

Soon after the breakfast the whole family catches the plane and starts their journey to Antarctica, after 17hrs of journey they finally reaches Antarctica and from there extra 3 hrs to reach the base.

During the journey from the airport to base, Tron literally experiences living hell, as his energy levels goes down due to the fasting and his body has to constantly generate heat and preserve energy, sometimes he constantly grabs his parents backpack for any snacks, unfortunately there was no snacks, and ends up getting frustrated as next meal will be after 3-7 weeks.

As the family approaches the base settled in the snow at -20°C, it's completed covered up in the snow, soon the security personal opens the gate, as Tron enters the base and heats up his body at the reception, and gazes towards the lab and the numerous scientists carrying experiments and going through their daily routines and he marvels at the complete different architecture from the modern society, as everything here is built to accompanie the necessities for the machines.

Soon an old man with white beard, wearing a golden spectacles arrives to receive them.

Peter: Tron, I will introduce you to this old man the founder of the modern awakening for the seventh sense Xochtil Neander.

Tron: what!!!! He is still living I thought he's already dead.

Johanna: well Tron, he optimized his own genes towards evolving, instead of acquiring any of the abilities from the forefathers, he wants to be the forerunner for human evolution.

Tron: oh God!! That's ultimate brilliance I guess, since the start of Civilization scientists from the earlier ages were constantly conflicted whether to acknowledge the preference of God, or everything and the whole world is based on science, if it becomes a success and every human being could evolve I guess there will be huge catastrophic changes in society changes like knowledge will become the universal language and conflicts between different human races will be extinct, and every human will try to grasp the pinnacle knowledge and the eternal goal of every living being will be to head out of this universe, and witness the things beyond the universe.

Xochtil: will I should say you were thinking isn't out of the line, are you perhaps interested in optimizing your genes towards evolution.

Tron: well should I call you Grandpa or Dr/professor, old geezer.

Xochtil: Haaa,Haaa..... brat I thought you wouldn't identify me as your relative but it's o.k, there are many people who view me as a weirdo in this generation as the longer you live the lonelier you feel unless you are a science freak who's pursuing knowledge, then you won't feel lonely when you gaze at the sky as billions of new stars emerge and others die. So what's your choice going to be regarding the awakening and gene optimization.

Tron: well iam not considering awakening one of my forefathers genes who pursue speed because I will be limited by their speed, I would like to evolve my genes towards speed, so that I could constantly reach new heights, instead of an all-round optimized evolution, I would prefer evolution specifically optimized towards speed so that my body could transform with the help of genes and help me accomplish new records in speed.

Xochtil: wow!! if you're going through evolution option, I should say you're almost my student, also a first pioneer in regards to a speedster, you should rest first and we will starting your awakening tomorrow, but iam warning you before the usual procedure last around 90 days, but you're trying to finish between 3-7 weeks. I am not optimistic whether it would succeed, but you were lucky since I already finished my awakening towards evolution I already have the data recorded so it would take half the time, but you are exploring in uncharted territories and you're also hoping it to get it done in the fastest time possible. If you want to finish the process in the fastest way you would have to be prepared to experience critical pain that human body could withstand throughout the procedure, your body will be pumped up with fluids and your subconscious has to be active all the time, it would act as a compass towards your desired evolution choice. Whenever your body gets tired or deviated during the process your subconscious has to intervene.

Tron: I just went through a hell whole of experience during last month, now another one's coming.

Xochtil:well if you had sufficient time, it won't be this painful, during the normal procedure the whole transformation occurs slowly. I gotta say you're lucky, as during your father's awakening your grandpa Sanderson was quite anxious and was constantly stayed next to the hibernation chamber, and the staff almost wanted to kick him out as he was like a nervous wreck hoping around and constantly questioning regarding any problems, even though your grandpa has finished his awakening, he was more nervous towards your father than his own awakening, but your parents seem to be fine so far, i think they want you have extra protection since you will be going space and can't provide any help.

Tron: didn't expect my grandpa to be a nervous wreck, well thanks Mom and Dad for supporting me through my childhood.

Johanna: it's fine son, we both got you covered, we are nervous as your grandpa, even more than him because during your father's awakening there was no risk, but there will be for you, but we're just staying calm, because if there's any mistake due to us being too anxious, that well be huge loss, as every parent wants a bright future for their child.

Xochtil: don't worry I will take care of him, by the way did you notice that the age old question presence of aliens has been answered, as there are monsters that could live outer space and alien civilization relics, well this only got leaked in the scientific circle, it hasn't released to society. I hope decades of old scientists and my personal question would be answered regarding the presence of God, whether it was created by humans to provide comfort, or if there really is an omnipotent god by this alien relics.

Tron: well I haven't gotten in-depth exploration regarding conflict between presence of God and science, so far I have just completed the high school knowledge.

Xochtil: well take some rest today and we'll start the awakening tomorrow, I will also give you the precautions and the whole procedure tomorrow morning, before the awakening.

Tron: well iam finally excited for tomorrow to transform and re-build my body towards a speedster.

Peter: let's go Tron, have your final sleep in a comfy bed as you will submerged in the hibernation chamber in the coming weeks.
