Chapter 64-Altreena

 

Back at base, we rested; if you can call it resting. Really, we don’t need to rest, I suppose, you could call, it being at peace. As you students know, being on the Astral-Plane is really being at home, as we, are spiritual beings, and as such, we exist on the inner planes, we only take short-vacations on other planets, like Earth, to learn; speaking of planets, the next job is going to be very interesting, to you, in a number of ways, one of which, is that, we will be going to an ultra-futuristic planet, for me, it is a chance to reacquaint myself with Higher World Technology, which is simply, the most advanced in the Phentrol- Galactic-System. The planet we will be visiting is called Altreena. The people are still in the human form, but use the body just for existing in the physical; most of the time they are in meditation, or in, long time, sleep-mode, so, you can see, they are working on the Astral-Plane, or some other plane, for most of their lives. What is the point of having a body, if they don’t use it, you ask? They are simply burning up their last vestiges of karma, before moving on to the inner planes. Our job is to find the agents, or entities, that are creating havoc, destroying the sleep rooms. How can any agents get access to what must be some of the highest technology in the Universe, you ask. All I can say is, they must be highly intelligent, also, maybe, they are citizens of Altreena, itself, corrupted by agents, yes, I know you are going to say that the people, who are destroyed, will come back again, but it is still murder. Please upload your thoughts to the data base as to who, you think might be responsible for this, especially if you know, you were once on Altreena as a resident or ‘Napie.’ For people who don’t know what Napie’s are, they are a pet like animal, or rather, a small human like creature, about twelve inches tall, with large heads, hands, and feet, with fur, which is very soft; they have below human intelligence, but are still way above monkey consciousness, some are clever enough to go to special schools, but most are content, just to be looked after. I have to say here, that I was a Napie, a very long time ago, yes me! It was one hundred and twenty five thousand years before I incarnated as Dan Sherman.

Of course, the people of Altreena, didn’t look after us Napie’s; it was the Super Robots that did everything, relating to everyday work, and more. That is why I mentioned at the beginning that, it would be interesting to you as students, in a number of ways, maybe you were a Napie? All I can say, is, I am fascinated to find out if my Robot Nanny, is still in existence, Yes, even after all this time, there is a real chance, that she will still be around, how? You say. Because the brains of the robots are fashioned after real people, and linked to a supercomputer; this means the consciousness of that robot might still be in the computer. I am fascinated, also, to look through my past life, as a Napie, I found that, I did go to school, and I also, passed the exam to become a Napie-Helper; that is a Napie, who, has the ability to know, that, they are more than an animal. The downside is, that Napie’s don’t live very long, they were manufactured by the Altreenan’s, they only live about 25 years. What is the point, of Napie’s? you say; the people don’t want to know about them, and they are brought up by robots! It is just something that got out of hand many years before; the people know, the Napie’s are of a higher consciousness than animals, so they decided to let them live. All animals, however, are put into deep freeze, or sent to other planets. It is the law to have no other pets, but Napie’s, also, it is the law, that no one can, in any way, try to prolong the life span of the Napie’s. I suppose the government at the time, was a little threatened by the Napie’s because, Napie’s were living day-by-day, and not in meditation, or in sleep mode. Records show that many years ago, Napie’s formed a secret group to live together in small clans, the Government at the time, caught the leaders, and expelled them to neighboring planets, or just got rid of them. As you know, by now, Napie’s are bred in artificial life tubes and they don’t have any sex organs, so, they can’t breed normally. What a shame! I hear you say, the poor Napie’s can’t breed and have only robots for mothers, yes, but I remember my life as Napie was very good. I didn’t know any other way at the time. My past life before that was quite barbaric, so, you can imagine, my consciousness was very low, so, becoming a Napie, helped me to learn. Of course, the Altreenan’s at that time didn’t know that soul, as human consciousness could inhabit such a thing as a Napie. Altreena is a very long way away, so we have to dream travel as usual, to the equivalent astral planet, and then, transfer our consciousness, into whatever cloned bodies, we will need, to get the job done, on the Physical Plane. In this case, they are two Altreenan people. A man and his wife, who were also directors, of the Eastern sleep room Facility. The real directors, themselves, are asleep already, but the Guardians, have cloned their bodies for us to use. Of course, Reeas and I would be the couple, and Deria would be her normal self, as she is unable to be seen or detected anyway. Debra will be part of me. Why don’t we just go there as ourselves, with light suits, and invisibility-mode, you say? Yes, I wanted to do just that, but Sionn, persuaded me to go with this option, as, we will have enough knowledge and expertise. I must admit, I am feeling, pretty good, the information from Debra, is everything I needed, plus more! Is it not invasive to encroach on another person’s life, or take his identity, you say? Yes, up to a point ,it is, but we have an important job to do. In the briefing room, Sionn said the agents are probably very secure in their role as citizens or agents, and will be hard to find. There is no security, as regards foreign people are concerned, as there are no foreign people on the planet! No one is allowed to access Altreenan space, and super robot space ships, are always on guard.

We could get there by simply transferring to the cloned bodies, and we suspected that was how the agents were accessing the planet. No sooner had we gone to sleep, when, we were awake, and in the cloned bodies of director, Lan Trant and his wife Lyn. For students that are interested in medical stuff, the bodies of Altreenan people are without any ailments, and are perfectly proportioned. As you can imagine, on a super civilized planet, the population has to be strictly controlled, and you, guessed it, the Super Robots do the controlling. OK, we are now functioning as a couple, trying to get the voice coordination right. Our agent, on Altreena is a fully qualified Guardian, called Felina3; she has been on the planet for seven years, her home planet is called Forteta and is a very advance planet, indeed; in fact, it is nearly up to Altreena standards, although, the people of Forteta aren’t into sleeping their lives away. The next few days are a mixture of visiting the various places that the director and his wife would visit while trying to keep a low profile. Let me say here, that the partnership of a man and his wife are different here on Altreena.

It is more of an agreement, really, if one partner wants to end the relationship, then, all they have to do, is wait till the agreement lapses, which is every three months. If they want to carry on they do. Reeas and I are quite enjoying our little role, as ordinary people, for a change, so I, decided I would take a little break, and access the database, to see if I can find my old Nanny. The database, as you can imagine, is highly protected, but I know I can get in there, quite easily, by simply, transferring my consciousness into my invisible self, or Dan Sherman, plus Debra. I thought I would be quite safe, at the time. I didn’t even tell Reeas!  Little did I know, how such a small mistake, could cost so much? Getting to the data room is easy, also getting into the protected computer, is easy, I find out that thousands of Altreenan’s had been killed while in the sleep rooms! I can’t understand why, I mean, the agents would know that they would simply go back to the astral sub base.

Maybe the agents are just, ordinary Altreenan’s, who have gone insane! At this stage, all I can think about is my old nanny. I soon found out, she is still in existence! And, yes! Doing the same job, although, she had been through numerous changes and upgrades, she is still the same personality! I waste no time in getting to the level where she was living, yes, I know she is only a robot, but to me, she was a living being. My excitement is now growing into something, I should  know, is going to be my downfall! As you students, know, Altreena is a planet which has no animals and the only pet like animals are the Napie’s. Now, you would think that, there would be a lack of space, as Altreena, is an advanced world, and as such, will be overflowing with life, no, Altreena is a world, where, time has stood still, for centuries. What a waste, you say, well, yes, I have to agree a little with that. There is ample space on the surface, but all the sleep rooms, and living places, are underground. OK, I am now at the door of my nannies rooms. I feel strangely excited, Although, I am invisible, untouchable and undetectable. I feel like a little boy, again! I walk through the door. When I say walk through, I mean, I actually passed through the door without opening it. The scene is everything I remember from my past-life! Nanny is seated with a Napie in her lap, they are playing together, she is tickling the Napie, and the Napie is giggling away. I just can’t control myself; I have to show myself, to Nanny! The only thing I can think of is to transfer myself into the Napie, how would she know me, you ask? I didn’t care. I had to get to her! Where is Debra, in all this, you say? That is the question, my student friends; all I can say is, she is inside me; I am so locked up, with my Nanny, that Debra, is now, second place. Sionn said my consciousness would move up and down, did he not? All I want is to be my Napie past life self. Nanny looks at me, and started to cry! She knows me! The next thing I know is, we are playing and laughing, just like all those years before. ‘Do you know, me, Nanny?’ I said.

‘Of course, Deeny, now, sit still, while these nice men, take care of you! You should know, that now you are twenty-five years old, you have to move on.’

Oh, no, I think. I try to get back to my invisible self, but too late, my powers are gone! I can’t contact Debra, Reeas or Deria!

‘Yes, this is the time to move on, Deeny!’ They said. I can’t see much, as I am being held like a cat by the scruff of the neck. 

‘I’m sorry, little Deeny.’ Nanny said, ‘but these men said, you have exceeded your time, you have to move on, now. Don’t worry, they will take care of you. Bye darling.’

‘Oh, we will take care of him, Nanny,’ they said.

I now know, these are Dark-Agents!

You Students, will now be saying, what happened? I am trapped in a feeble little body, with no powers. I can’t contact my fellow team mates. How am I able to get this message to you, and the database? You ask. Well, it was added later, that is all I know. Please be patient, and also upload your thoughts, as usual. I need all the help I can get. I am now, unconscious as a Napie. I am also struggling to find any relevant sub plane bases to transfer to! Where the hell, am I? I am, sort of, floating in a sea, of dark matter. I can’t sit down, and I can’t stand up, I also, can’t concentrate my mind; is this going to be the future for me, as Dan Sherman? God, I hope my friends find me; who are they? I know I have many friends, but I can’t remember their names! I am supposed to do an important job, but I don’t know what it is?

For you Students: This message has been added by Sionn. Please be aware, that Dan is now imprisoned in some sort of isolation vessel, we are trying to locate him, but up to now, we are failing to even find out where he was last seen. The records on Altreena have been tampered with by Dark Agents. We can only assume they set up, some sort of trap, for Dan, as he was accessing the database, Please be patient, and help us, by uploading your thoughts to Central Database. The story will now be continued by Reeas and Deria, as they try to locate Dan.

In the briefing room, Felina3 is trying to access the records shortly before Dan went missing, but all she can find is a very complicated uploaded virus, which has deleted most of the names on the database!

Reeas/ Deria/ recording:

For you students: This recording is being made by Reeas, please be aware, that we will try every means, to find Dan. We are not Dan, however, so, we don’t have access to Debra. The job now, has become more than just finding the Agents. We are desperate to find any trace of Dan! It has been more than three days since he went missing, and there has been no message from Debra. Deria, has also had no luck, in finding any trace of Dan’s consciousness, on any plane of existence! As you can imagine, I am worried sick, I can’t function as I should, I know, I am a Guardian, but nothing like this has happened before! Dan has been in a lot of scrapes, in his time as a Guardian, also, he has had a lot of past life experiences. That is one reason why Sionn chose Dan to be a Guardian. I have to get myself together. Deria said Dan must be in existence somewhere, so all we have to do is find him! Sionn is now in the briefing room, as a hologram. No sooner had Sionn started to talk, when one of the Super Robots that is standing guard around the room started to speak.

‘I have to inform you, that Dan Sherman will be terminated in one weeks’ time, if you do not conform to our wishes.’

‘What are the terms?’ Sionn said.

‘We want Kallo to be pre-neutralized, and we want access to Debra.’

‘Impossible.’ said Sionn.

'Then, you won’t see your precious, Dan Sherman, again.’

The robot then shut itself down.

‘Try to access that Robot, although, I seriously doubt, you will find anything of use.’ Sionn said. 

I am now, starting to really, worry. Yes me, Reeas! I was in training to be a Higher Guardian with Deria’s people. How will I be able to function, if I can’t save, my Dan?  He could be anywhere in the Multiverse.  Deria said she would report back to her people. I wanted to go with her but she said, ‘Go to the Room-of-Doors. Dan would try to get there if it is at all possible.’

Sionn said, ‘Try to access the Past lives, that Dan, and you were together in.’

 I said, ‘what about me going to Mannus, for help? He said as a last resort we would, but he feels this, is a Guardian issue.

Sionn said, ‘Please don’t worry, Reeas, we will find him.’

‘How come, the agents got into the Altreenan computer network?’ I said. ‘That is something we have to find out, the whole network has been sabotaged, we can’t even find out where Dan was shortly before he disappeared. The entire mission to Altreena was a, set up, to get Dan. when you get to the Room-of-Doors, let the love that you have for Dan, Guide You, also …

The next moment, all I can remember is standing in the briefing room on the Astral Sub Plane base!

Sionn is there, together with all the team, except Dan. What happened?’ I said.

Sionn is sat down, and holding his head, in both hands! Deria said,

‘There was a massive bomb. Everyone in the Eastern sleep room facility, is now dead, plus many more in the Northern, Southern, and Western sectors. I am stunned! How did this happen? How could...Deria motions me to be quiet. Grenwer, is now entering the room; he holds Sionn by the shoulders, and ushers him out of the room. Grenwer, then came back to tell us that there will be a special meeting in the conference hall. In all the time I have been with the Guardians, I have never been to a special meeting. I feel more stressed now, than at any time in my past lives. Students please send your love, and any thoughts to our database.
