Chapter 4: secrets revealed
The hatch slid open smoothly but made a loud squeaking noise like it hadn't been opened in a long time. A strong smell of must erupted from the capsule as he got closer to it. Inside the container there was a package wrapped in brown paper and tied with a dingy red string. He lifted that package out of the capsule. It was rather heavy though. He had to pretty much wrench the package out the pod because it was bigger than the opening in the hatch. Culser untied the ribbon and the package fell apart. It was full of notebooks, papers, and a bottle of red fluid with a stopper in it. He was very disappointed. He had thought it would be something important or at least something valuable. His knees started to hurt so he took two of the notebooks and put them under his knees. He took a long look at the bottle full of red fluid. After a while he took out the stopper and smelled the liquid. It smelled strongly of something he had ever smelled before. He put the stopper back in and set the tube of solution on the sand next to him. A drop of the fluid that had been on the stopper and was wiped onto the edge of the cylinder touched the white grainy sand and stained it red. He looked at one of the documents that were on top of the huge stack of papers in a folder. It was a rather old document. It was browned and wrinkled it was written in a curly and almost hard to read handwriting. The document read:
"To those who have found this capsule and are reading this document now I lend you my greatest advice. The secrets contained in this container are ones never meant to be revealed. This information in the wrong hands could bring about the destruction of life as we now know it. The secrets held within this collection of documents I hope are never found but nevertheless my colleagues have forced me to put our work in a time capsule so that if we die it will not be lost forever. What we have found can create so many problems in this world that it would surly bring the existence of mankind to a halt if not used carefully. If you are reading this it means I am now almost surely dead and so I no longer hold the burden of these secrets but while I was alive it weighed heavily on my soul. If I didn't know the greediness and foolhardiness of mankind then I would ask that you take everything in this capsule and burn it. You wouldn't do it if I asked you to anyway so all I can do is enlighten you with my advice and hope for the best.
When a person dies his or her soul goes into the lifestream and is transformed into spirit energy. The planet needs this energy to live and flourish without dying out. If someone was to take away enough of the spirit energy then the planet would dry up, crust over and split in half. This would surely end the race of mankind as without this planet where would we live. The fact is nowhere is suitable for us besides this planet but yet the race of mankind sets out to destroy it in many ways. This is why this information is so critical and this is why it is so dangerous. This is why the one who puts this into effect will end the race of mankind for his own profit. The power described in these documents is… Mako energy.
This energy is cheap and efficient. It will be a great source of power for man. But this same power is energy made from spirit energy. It will within time suck the life out of the planet and soon the planet will wither and die. It will have no more power to run itself on no rivers will flow no trees will grow and the life will end. So I tell you this hoping you will control the usage of Mako energy and do your best to keep the planet alive. Please do not forget the words I say to you.
Signed in all sincerity,
Dr. Bugenhagen
Director of Mako energy advancement"
