The next day Lincoln was standing in front of a white glass board that he had placed in the living room next to his television in the corner of the room. He had written on the top of the board "information" since the goal of that The blackboard was to function like a police show, where he would place photos and information he found about Pears, although now it was completely blank and very clean since he had bought it in the morning, meanwhile the fourth wall was slowly approaching him, placing itself at his side. left, letting himself be seen and making Lincoln look at the public
Lincoln: not you again... -annoyed, he looked at the audience, sighing a little and immediately looking at them angrily- ...you never have anything better to do except screw up my life, right? Damn accomplices...agh anyway, if you're wondering what the hell I'm doing it's simple...I'm preparing my investigation to find pears
While saying that he began to walk towards the sofa, sitting on it when he arrived and immediately opening the laptop that was on the nightstand.
Lincoln: I already searched the internet for "pears. " and nothing came up about him...then I searched for "people who changed bodies and came from another universe" and I only got simple stories of lunatics who say they came from the future or an alternate universe, the internet in this universe is somewhat depressing... –he showed an expression of disappointment at the news that he would not find Pears on the internet, although in the first instance it is impossible to find someone easily on the internet–. ..even so I joined a paranormal forum, posted a public message for everyone...that way if any of them hear something strange about a guy who claims to be a scientist from another world, I'll know...it's not very sure, but for now these crazy people are my eyes and ears for the country (I hope he is in this country)
Lincoln said that while reviewing the forum where he left the post by logging into his account, there were some messages, but half were news about things that were not relevant or others were simple paranoia of strange people with names like "anonymus."
Lincoln: oh...bigfoot is buying drugs from the government from the yeti... -he said that, laughing a little after reading a long message about monsters existing and that they are controlled by the government- ...well, like I said...it's just time for me to find pears
Lincoln said that, looking at the fourth wall out of the corner of his eye, smiling very confidently, then he leaned against the back of the sofa and waited for the news to arrive on its own without being worried.
The next day
Lincoln: nothing...nothing...how come a guy like Pears doesn't attract attention... -he said that while hitting his head lightly against the white glass board, which was still empty without any information about Pears – ...I-can't-think-of-anything... –he said that half-heartedly while hitting the blackboard–... (since I have this body my ideas are strange)
Lincoln said that remembering how last night he prepared a Lincoln-style lynnsagna for dinner, something that he previously hated with all his being, but he had eaten it without leaving any trace of the lasagna that he had cooked, another strange thing that happened was that He had a very realistic dream about that day after the playground, apparently in this universe Lincoln put together a plan so that they would understand that he did not have bad luck, thus ending his day hugging Lynn after one of their games, that simple scene made that he detested this Lincoln with all his being and existence, a weak being who so easily forgave a family of unfortunate people, he had to hurry up and leave this place as soon as possible.
Lincoln: Those memories weren't mine... damn it, Pears, where are you... you need to get me out of this damn place.
Lincoln, very upset, hit the white board with his hands, almost causing it to fall. He immediately walked away from it, very upset and frustrated, trying to come up with a plan B to find Pears. Yes, seriously, those were Lincoln's memories, which meant that his memories were being changed by those of this universe, was it that or their existence was being eradicated, had seen too many science fiction movies to know that it is very common for an invading mind sooner or later to begin to be erased by the original mind, the universe itself I did that so that everything would return to normal.
Lincoln: Let's see, Lincoln, think, think...how can I find Pears in the quickest way possible, Google doesn't have the technology to search for a person (well, not the technology they allow me to use)... –Lincoln moved. from one side to the other thinking about what he could do to find Pears, his first plan of waiting for someone to tell him about a guy for a while was a good plan, but it was also a bit slow due to the fact that Pears probably also hid the fact that he is occupying a body that is not his - ...maybe the CIA has a system that helps me find Pears, but, like shit, I managed to get into the CIA without being arrested (well, the CIA is ruled out) So I need to find a person with sufficient technology and who is at my disposal for discriminate use, mmh discriminate... what a strange word
Lincoln began to get lost in his thoughts as he walked from one side to the other, until after a few minutes going from the living room to the dining room, he stopped right in front of the stairs that led to the second floor. He was frozen in that position until who quickly moved in a hurry up the stairs until he stopped halfway looking at a framed photo hanging on the wall, it was a family photo in which everyone was 4 years older placed next to theirs as children, Lincoln showed a lunatic smile gritting his teeth as he slowly started to laugh too.
Lincoln: I'm a genius! I am a genius!
The dark and lush basement of the Loud house lay in a complete penumbral silence until the basement door opened slowly allowing light to enter the basement, then the basement light turned on, illuminating the entire interior of the basement and leaving only the little shadow caused. Because of the objects that were arranged in the basement, Lincoln was the person who had turned on the lights and was now going down the stairs very excited, meanwhile the fourth wall approached him, observing him from the right towards his face.
Lincoln: Surely some of you have already realized what I do in this place, I don't know why I didn't think about this before... I'm the brother of the girl with contacts in the CIA, FBI and other things that I won't say because they would take up a lot of time. lines and time of yours, it is clear that you must have something in your laboratory that will help me find Pears... I hate asking Lisa to help, but I don't hate using her things for my benefit
Lincoln reached the end of the stairs, starting to walk through the basement, stopping in the middle of the basement where he would have a good view of the entire place and could see if there was anything strange or out of place. Lisa spent a lot of time down here so it was easy to deduce. that he had some kind of secret laboratory hidden here where he investigated his ultra-dangerous secret projects.
Lincoln: Okay, if I were a mad scientist with an IQ of 240 and an I-know-it-all attitude, where would I hide the entrance to my secret laboratory?
While he was talking to himself and thinking about where he could hide the entrance to his laboratory, he carefully observed everything around him and looked for the strangest thing that could be in a basement, what should not be there or what was out of the ordinary, then That's when he saw it, it was a somewhat dark piece of oak wood furniture with no important things occupying its shelves, they were simple objects that could easily have been from an accumulator, that wasn't what caught Lincoln's attention but on the part Higher up on the furniture there was a piece of wood with an engraving that said something in Latin.
Lincoln: Try not to become a man of success, but to become a man of value...ainstain -smiling, he approached the piece of furniture against the wall, slowly beginning to move the boxes so that he could be in front of that piece of furniture just one step away. of that object – only she could have thought of that
Lincoln showed a smile of victory for having discovered the entrance to Lisa's laboratory, but suddenly his emotion of victory was swept away by a headache, it was as if someone had kicked him in the head and then pressed his foot against it. the ground, Lincoln quickly bent over in pain, holding his head, clenching his teeth because of such strong pain.
FLASHBACK
Lincoln was currently in the basement, it was different from the basement where he was a few moments ago, it was clean and the garbage that were more like objects that were not thrown away were placed in a corner at the bottom of the basement well arranged, Lincoln had no control of the body, but even so he felt everything that body felt, the fatigue from having worked, the pain in his hands from having held some kind of iron pick and a hammer, now he found himself breathing heavily while he finished recording on the board. highest of the furniture a phrase from a renowned scientist, then when he finished recording the last word he stopped and stepped back, tired of all the work he had done that day, seeing how his furniture had been finished and that it was already complete, he could not avoid showing a smile of self-satisfaction, which Lincoln felt, it was like that feeling of happiness you have when you finish something that took a lot of time and effort, then while he was enjoying that small moment a female voice coming from the stairs brought him out of his trance
Lisa: So here you were, Lincoln... -who was walking down the stairs slowly, was neither more nor less than his sister Lisa Loud, well more like the one from this universe, something that Lincoln didn't understand was why she was talking to him about so casually and not as if it were a family unit– ...what are you doing in the basement?
Lincoln quickly heard Lisa start to go down the stairs, took a white cloak and covered the furniture with said cloak, preventing anyone from seeing what Lincoln was doing. He then leaned against the cloak and furniture, pretending that he was not doing anything, even though he was nervous. they were noticeable
Lincoln: nothing nothing... hahaha he just fixed the basement so that it looked less dirty - he tried to hide his nerves, but it was impossible for him for some reason that Lincoln from another universe did not understand and was embarrassed by others -
Lisa: ...you're giving me a gift, what is it? –Lisa quickly discovered that Lincoln was hiding a gift, clearly because her 22nd birthday was approaching –
Lincoln: hahaha, what do you think, they're just a bunch of old boxes - he tried at all costs to prevent her from discovering it, although he was already completely lost -
Lisa: ... –she just watched him in silence without showing an expression of she found out or that she found it funny how nervous Lincoln was, although she did show a slight smile–
Lincoln: okay, yes it's a gift... but you won't open it until it's your birthday, this time I want it to be a surprise... not like last year when you discovered me - this one showed a little annoyance at having been discovered on Last year, what had happened was that Lincoln was going to give her an all-paid trip on a cruise and it had to be a surprise, but Lisa quickly deduced from her actions that that was what it was about–
Lisa: I understand...thank you, I'm looking forward to my birthday, although I would be happier if it was just a date –she said that as a joke as she turned around and walked back the way she came up the stairs–
Lincoln: Wait what?! This cost me a lot of money! –He said that running after her and stopping at the foot of the stairs watching Lisa stop at the entrance–
Lisa: what a pity for you...now come up, mom, I'm already preparing the food and please don't make sure the furniture doesn't have a cheesy engraving.
Lisa said that, smiling, showing that she already knew what gift she was going to give him, only to leave after saying that, disappearing from Lincoln's sight, who was quickly surprised by how he discovered it and started running up the stairs.
PRESENT
Lincoln was coming back to his senses, beginning to feel how his eyes were regaining vision and his head was beginning to stop hurting. At that moment, he was lying on the floor lying on his side. Apparently he had fainted due to the sudden pain. Slowly, Lincoln stood up. standing leaning against the furniture thinking about what he had seen or dreamed, a normal person would say that it was a mere illusion caused by his fainting, but thanks to the fact that Lincoln was in not so normal terms it was clear that those were the memories of the real Lincoln of this universe, it is very common to see in patients who have memory loss that when they relive an event or come into contact with some object, they recover their memories more quickly, that meant that coming into contact with that piece of furniture caused the end of Lincoln to disappear. accelerate much more
Lincoln: damn it, I was very careless!...I should have thought about the possibility that when I came into contact with something from Lincoln's life his memories would manifest - he said this very annoyed while wiping the slight sweat with his hands on his forehead, then without wanting to wait any longer he approached the side of the furniture touching the wall with his palm, suddenly a hologram on the wall began to disappear showing a digital numeric keypad – ...the code is "4011643" (wait. ..how do I know that)
Lincoln put in the code as if it were something normal that was impossible not to know, he wondered how he knew something like that and the only answer he found was the same as always "the real Lincoln wants to take control again", his memories were fading. mixing which meant that he would soon know everything about Lincoln's life and then forget about himself, he would be erased completely, Lincoln would return and all of these events would simply be forgotten.
Lincoln: I will definitely return to my world... -He said that while watching how the furniture moved slightly forward and then to the right, raising the dust that had accumulated over the years. When the furniture moved, it revealed a somewhat modern elevator, but not so modern for this time– ...whatever the cost
Lincoln took a few steps forward entering the elevator, then he turned around looking at the basement one last time before he pressed a touch pad in the elevator and the doors closed, then he could feel how the elevator began to go down at a somewhat slower speed. dangerous for an elevator, Lincoln at that time feared that the elevator, due to how old it was and its little use, would fall at high speed towards certain death, luckily and to his relief the elevator arrived without problems at the end of the descent, the The doors opened revealing a huge, very modern long hallway with white walls with black doors on the sides.
Lincoln: good...now let's find something that will help me find Pears and put an end to this shit... -Lincoln began to walk down the hallway simply moving forward, each black door had a name, apparently it had an investigation room to each of his projects, something very organized, but it would make it very difficult to find a project that works for what Lincoln wanted– ...this is going to take a long time
Lincoln said that, sighing heavily at the idea of having to spend a lot of time down there, for his bad luck what he said was true, he spent more than 3 hours walking through the corridors of that laboratory that looked more like the scientific base of an evil organization. , he was moving from one side to the other looking for a door that had what he needed, they all contained extraordinary projects that would help him have a lot of money, but none of them would help him escape his sad end, well, that was until he came across a black door in a hallway that didn't continue, but was like a dead-end hallway with an entrance in the wall in front of you
Lincoln: "monitoring system for dangerous individuals" or "SMIP"... -Lincoln read what the door said, then he felt a great emotion filling his body, it was the door and the project they were looking for, plus he had already heard of something like that in his universe and with that in mind he opened the door – ...hahaha it was time
Upon entering the only thing he found was a huge black void, there was nothing that would generate that dangerous research laboratory atmosphere, so Lincoln slowly entered the place listening to how the wall behind him closed, that was so sudden that he scared and more because now it was in the dark
Lincoln: shit, I don't see anything!... -he shouted that while walking through the place while moving his hands in front of him trying to find the wall or something that would allow him to see, then that was when he reached the center of the place touching a sphere white that suddenly began to shine– ...what is this?!
The sphere began to turn white until, when it was completely white, it began to illuminate the entire place, showing a hologram of the world and then a lot of green, red and orange dots in the world.
SMIP: [loading global individuals] ... [SMIP system activating world satellites] ... [1,268,163 individuals wanted for crimes have been detected]
Lincoln watched this fascinated and excited, just as he began to remember where he had heard about SMIP, in his universe it had been delivered to the United Nations by his sister Lisa, but after just a few months it was taken out and frozen, all because this system uses all modern technology, global satellite and camera available, calculates the personalities of each person in the world and even invades their privacy, in a few words it can know what a person wants or is going to do before they do it
Lincoln: with this it is easy to find a person...SMIP I need you to look for a person called "pears. " –Lincoln asked that while getting as close as possible to the hologram of planet Earth–
SMIP: [searching for "pears. "] ... [a total of 127 pears. have been found]
SMIP told him that only to then show green dots on the planet, immediately afterwards it showed him a file of each of them with all the information available on the network and the files of the governments of the world.
Lincoln: For God's sake...this will take longer than I thought...SMIP, please place them from the most dangerous to the least important.
SMIP obeyed without any problem, starting to gather all the holograms that were the files of the 127 pears and then placing them in a list of names, from the most dangerous to the most normal or least important, Lincoln sighed knowing that he would spend a lot of time down there. , so without waiting another second he just prepared to start checking the names one by one, when he pressed on a name it would open showing a photo and all the revealing information.
Meanwhile in California, mountain view.
A woman with dark brown hair with glasses to see better, she was currently in her private laboratory, that laboratory was given to her by the Ames Research Center dependent on NASA.
The woman was at that time investigating a sudden electromagnetic pulse detected in Mexico, this investigation was entrusted to her due to her extreme intelligence and contacts with the United States government, it was something of great importance because that pulse almost deactivated permanently the defense systems of the country, if it was some kind of enemy weapon of another country or some terrorist group, it was necessary to know what that weapon was and also find countermeasures to prevent that weapon from being used against the country.
Lisa: it is impossible for an electromagnetic pulse weapon of that level to exist, not in this time... -Lincoln's wife and sister, now speaking normally unlike when she was little, said that after observing for the fiftieth time in the day a recreation of the event that caused great chaos – ...also what kind of weapon causes a death without leaving traces of how it was caused
Lisa was looking at a couple of photos of some corpses, apparently at the same time that the electromagnetic pulse appeared hundreds of animals and people died mysteriously, according to the witnesses they were watching until the light went out and they fell lifeless to the ground, to where The government of Mexico and the United States knew that the people and animals that died were not drugged or suffered any damage, their hearts simply stopped like their entire body. The strangest thing is that it was an instantaneous death without a few seconds of asphyxiation. or pain
Lisa: It must have been like a flash for them, first they were alive being happy and then they were just lying on the ground without feeling anything.
Lisa sighed, feeling that it was a great tragedy, the news did not talk about those deaths because the government did not give the news, as far as everyone knew, her relative or acquaintance simply died due to a rare effect of the electromagnetic pulse on the heart and also that that EMP It was caused by a chain explosion of power cables, which the country happily accepted since all humans needed to feel security and trust in the government.
Lisa: I must find out who caused this atrocious event.
Lisa, very determined, began to review her computer, checking all the information that had been collected, then while she was focusing specifically on discovering something, she did not notice that something was moving across the ceiling like a spider, so when she realized it was too late since that thing was already falling, causing that when he looked up a little a black-haired baby with a pacifier fell on his head, clinging to it without much force.
Lisa: hahaha, for God's sake, Lulu, I told you that you couldn't be here... - Lisa, smiling with pleasure because her baby was there, caressed Lulu's head a little while she looked up out of the corner of her eye and forgot that the baby shouldn't be there. there– ...did you follow me from home? (by ainstain the babysitter must be scared)
While Lisa began to play with her little daughter in her arms, forgetting about her research, her cell phone began to vibrate on the table about 14 steps to her right, it was somewhat far away so she couldn't hear it and she also didn't use her cell phone much, at least Maybe it was to talk to her sisters or the babysitter about Lulu and her classes, although that alert was not due to a message or a call, it was due to a notice that an invention from Lisa's laboratory had been activated and while alerting she was showing a live video from a camera in his laboratory, showing how Lincoln used SMIP
