Chapter {2}
{Terabyte Dreams}

September 16, one day before Event-X.
Location 55.7542° N, 37.6200° E
A menacing white Bengal tiger purrs and slowly moves towards her. It’s carefully guarding its master, like a very obedient guarding dog. The tiger purrs and meows almost like a pet-cat, yet its menacing presence doesn’t let you forget. The tiger is still a killer and you might just be dinner, all in the blink of an eye.
Is it your lucky day?
“Are you sure he doesn’t bite?” The Majestic Man asks. “I’d really like to stay alive as humanly possible.”
Lian gracefully grabs his arm and says. “Come with me boy, there are very important matters to discuss.” She hysterically laughs as she walks. “The end of all this filth and decadence that engulfs the world, a new renaissance.”
The Majestic Man awkwardly raises his eyebrows, as he secretly doubts Lian’s intentions. “Who’s she calling a boy, we must be the same age!”
The great Terabyte Queen delicately walks across the room like a tantalizing water lily dancing on a pond. She’s moving towards a huge touchscreen placed on the wall. She’s reaching out with her fingers. One, two, three.
“Look at this, what do you see Mr. Foreigner?” She asks.
Suddenly something happens.
All the screens in the room, become active in unison. There is a couple black and white videos on the screens, they look like live-feed from security cameras. The locations seem to be on a worldwide scale, there’s the Eiffel Tower, the Big Ben, Times Square. This seems like a massive worldwide hack.
This woman is crazy, what’s she planning to do?
A grotesque fat man is sitting on a chair while he viciously devours all the food that’s placed in front of him. Smoked ham, lamb chops, steak, French fries, this is the preview to a heart attack. Next show on screen, is open heart surgery at the hospital.
Another screen shows a high-street fashion boutique full of expensive looking clothes. Slender Botox pumped women carefully choose exquisite clothes and pay for them with their exclusive platinum credit cards.
“What do you see?” She asks The Majestic Man.
A man is standing comfortably next to a black sports car, he is drinking champagne, and is accompanied by two hot-looking super models. The three people laugh with their perfect looking faces and smiles, showcasing a desirable kind of life. The cheerful party, merely enjoys their obnoxious moment.
The Majestic Man is thinking, he’s looking for an answer.
The room full of screens and monitors it’s forcefully focusing all its attention on him. The room awaits for an answer, a clever answer, an intelligent answer.
He finally replies.
“Is there anything to be seen? All I see is hot babes with hot asses.”
He winks and deviously smiles at the great Terabyte Queen.
Perhaps this could be considered some kind of mockery.
Lian strides towards him in two long steps and then she brutally slaps him with all her strength. He’s now on the floor as the room slowly spins around him.
“This is a serious conversation about a serious topic.” Lian says with a punitive voice. “Do you understand the precarious situation that you’ve got yourself involved? She asks him.
The screens suddenly turn off then on again. A different kind of message is now being played on the screens.
Images of poverty and sorrow, hungry looking people on the streets. People shouting and protesting, making playful bonfires out of cars. Unmanageable wild riots and frightened policemen combating them. Malnourished children in Africa on the brink of starvation.
“What do you see? I ask again.” Lian is attentively looking at him. She yearns for the right answer, it’s a hopeless plea perhaps. Nobody understands her, it’s always Lian against the world. The Terabyte Queen must impose her will.
Injustice
It all seems clear, she’s a mad genius ready to bring judgement to this tarnished earth. She would bring her rightful unforgiving justice to this decadent world or see it burn, no difference to her.
The Majestic Man is troubled
All that he can do is to stay out of her way and survive.
Why has she summoned him here? It all looks bad for him if he doesn’t manage to scape.
He must survive.
Lian’s eyes are wide open, her pupils are fully dilated.
“Look at me” She says.
She holds both his hands and caresses them softly.
“With this hands, I want you to help me make a new world”.
Deep inside her eyes there is a vague feeling of hope and untarnished dreams. That vivid spark that ignited her fate so many years ago is still there. She wants something from him, she wants The Majestic Man himself.
Is he able to ride on the back of Pegasus towards the blazing sun with her? Will they bond and seal their precarious fate to the melting wings of Pegasus?
That is unknown, fate shall decide it.
They are walking towards the balcony, there is a lush exotic garden growing on it with flowers of all colors. Almost the entire city can be seen from this place, in the distance there is a newly built skyscraper complex.
The tallest building in Europe clearly stands out, 338.82 meters of glass and steel. The posh Mercury Tower in all its awe and glory, stands right next to the dirty and polluted Moscow River. Where the locals joke about tasty mutant fish with three flaps and two tails.
Lian gracefully sips a cup of green tea. “Would you like some? I have your favorite right here.” She says.
The devilish temptress, she has him exactly where she wants.
“I can’t refuse a cup of green tea, especially if it’s Sencha.” He tactfully replies with his Cheshire smile.
They gaze into each other’s eyes acknowledging a momentary truce, like eternal lovers in still time.
Perhaps it’s destiny after all that they’ve come to be in such precarious position at this given moment in time. Never underestimate the chaotic random possibilities of the quantum universe. Never say never.
Project Unification
“What is Project Unification?” The Majestic man asks Lian with a serious looking face. “Will you tell me all about it?”
With a devilish smirk, Lian replies. “It’s everything and nothing at the same time.” She holds his left hand and places it on top of her chest, her heart beats softly and calmly in harmony.
“Can you feel that?” She asks.
This is life
“I will give everybody life.” She stares blank in to the horizon. “Everything will be reborn trough beautiful chaos.” She says.
Her delicate fingers slowly move through her right cheek, towards her bright and moist red lips. The temptress.
“I know what you want, it’s her” Lian says. “You want Natasha.” Lian fixates her eyes on him, expecting his reaction.
An uncomfortable feeling of judgement and truth irks through his skin. The uncomfortable reminder that his life is not his own. All those collections of past moments waiting for an unfortunate and majestic beautiful ending.
“Do what I say, or else.” The Terabyte Queen forcefully imposes her presence on him.
“Or else, I don’t give you a happy ending Mr. Foreigner.”
She madly smiles and laughs as she looks at him.
He’s perplexed, The Majestic Man is shocked.
To do or not to do. “Can I have more of that tea?” He says.
She smiles as she pours another coup.
Relinquished lovers.
