The Divine Dissimulation [Complete]

Chapter 3 The Divine Suicide and Ascension Plan

Abraham Goldstein woke up 4 hours later full of energy.  He took the elevator 800 levels down, to a top-secret research lab 300 meters below ground. It was so secret that not even his family members knew about it.

He met up with Jack Brown, the lead scientist for the project.

Abraham Goldstein:

-          Is the machine ready?

Jack Brown:

-          Yes, it should be operational now. I must warn you though, we haven't tested the device yet and it might be dangerous.

Abraham Goldstein:

-          And you are not going to test the machine for that matter. I am not spending 80 billion Terran Credits on a scientist's toy; this is MY toy!

The 80 billion Terran Credits devoted to the Divine Detector machine was an absolute fortune. The construction of the entire 3000 meters high Goldstein tower had cost 120 billion Terran Credits, and that was an 800-level building with 16000 rooms.

Jack Brown:

-          Understood, sir! We have scanned the entire spectra of potential dimensions, and we believe that the one you are looking for is located at the coordinates Gamma; Omega; Delta; one; nine; eight; five.

Abraham Goldstein:

-          Excellent, plug me in.

Jack Brown:

-          Okay, I’ll keep you in the Divine Dimension for just a few seconds. You’ll experience it as a lot longer as we predict that time moves very slowly in there.

Jack Brown started the Divine Detector particle accelerator, and Abraham Goldstein could feel that his consciousness left his body. He was travelling through space at speed faster than light. In the blink of an eye, Abraham crashed down into an open courtyard.

Abraham got up and studied the courtyard.  It was both beautiful and eerie at the same time. He looked at a pond full of lotus flowers. In the reflection of the pond, he could see the Goldstein Tower below as if he was on a floating structure high up in the sky. Abraham was stunned by fascination, but he snapped out of it. He was here with a purpose; to meet God. Abraham saw a big gate at the end of the courtyard, and his gut feeling told him it was the right way. He walked through the gate, and he entered a throne room. At the far end of it was a golden throne full of gemstones, which radiated an intense light.

After marvelling at the beauty of the throne for a while, Abraham looked below the throne. There was a dead man in robes lying on the ground; facing down. Abraham approached the lifeless body and turned it around. He looked at it in awe. The corpse belonged to Yahweh the god of his people. But Yahweh was dead? How could this be?

After the initial shock, Abraham knew that he had to find a reason behind Yahweh’s death. He searched the clothes of the dead deity, and he found a letter. It was written in ancient letters and in an ancient language, but Abraham instinctively understood the meaning of the message. The letter said;

"This is how I end my life, with a knife to my throat. I thought that being the sole ruler of humanity was all I ever wanted, so I expelled the other divines from my palace after murdering Lucifer my best friend and lover. Unfortunately, I destroyed the portal to Earth in the altercation with the other Zetans. I am lonely and battling with guilt and my demons. Humanity does not need me anymore, and I don't feel the need to live either. This is my end. 

Yours Truly

Yahweh

PS. Since you are reading this, humanity obviously needs a god. Take my place! Go to the altar, to the left of my throne and you’ll know how.”

Abraham stepped up and walked to the altar. What he saw baffled and fascinated him. On the altar, he saw a blueprint for three different microchips:

·         The top chip was the god chip; it allowed the user to connect with and communicate with up to 10,000 followers at a time. It also enabled the user to directly control the actions of anyone with an angel chip implanted.  The God chip also had the feature that the one wearing it could instantly kill anyone with an angel or human chip implanted.

·         The middle chip was the angel chip. It allowed the user to connect with up to 100 followers at the time.

·         The bottom chip was the human chip. It made it possible for gods and angels to enter the mind of anyone having the chip implanted in their brain and communicates with them.

Abraham memorised the schematics, using the bionic memory enhancing microchip he had implanted in his brain. The world then blurred in front of his eyes, and he was back in the research lab of Goldstein Tower.

Jack Brown approached Abraham as he came back to consciousness:

-          Did you find what you were looking for?

Abraham Goldstein:

-          No, but I found something else.

-          Can you extract three microchips schematics from my memory?

Jack Brown:

-          Yes, wait a second.

-          Yes, I got them.

-          Do you know what they are?

Abraham Goldstein:

-          Yes, but that is none of your business.

-          All I need to know is, can you make them?

Jack Brown:

-          Yes, with our particle replicator machine we can replicate any item we have a blueprint of, including those schematics.

Abraham Goldstein

-          Good.

-          I want one microchip of the top schematic plan and 300 microchips of the bottom plan. Have them done by tomorrow.

-          And make sure this stays between us, for your families’ sake.

Jack Brown:

-          Yes sir! Consider it done, sir!

Abraham left the room, and Jack sighed. He felt worried. Although he was an agnostic, humans should not try to reach the divine realm. What was the story with these microchips? What happened when Abraham was connected to the machine? Jack Brown had never seen any microchips like these schematics before, and he could only guess what they would do. Regardless Jack would do as Abraham ordered and produce the batch. He owed Abraham that.

A decade earlier, Jack Brown had done the unthinkable and fallen in love with a Martian woman during a House White research expedition on Mars. When Benjamin White, the director of the Mars expedition found out about the love affair, he condemned Jack Brown's entire research team, consisting of 16 researchers and revoked their Terran citizenships.  He did this, as House White was the most racist of the Terran factions, and it showed their people on Earth that it was not okay for anyone to have relations with Martians.

Unfortunately for Benjamin White, his move to banish House White's foremost quantum physicists over a race matter was not appreciated by his peers, and he was assassinated later that year. By that time there was no trace of the team, and it took House White years to find out that Abraham Goldstein had hired Jack Brown and his team.

Fortunately for Jack and his staff; Abraham was more pragmatic than racist, and he offered them safe re-entry to Earth as well as new Terran citizenships if they worked for him. He even promised Jack Brown that he could have children with his Martian women and that both she and the children would be granted Terran citizenships by Abraham personally when the project finished.

With no time to waste, Jack gathered his team to make the microchips requested by Abraham. It would be a challenging task but luckily, they were all experts at using the particle replicator machine, and they had access to every element possible.
