ON THE MARX

Entry 50

8 Brahma

That bunch of stars in the background had to show some constellation or a cluster of stars, or even a cluster of space. It could not have been random. The two pyramids had to be also something. The fact that Hanuman gave it to me, meant it had to be some sort of Star Builder thing. Right?

It did not look like a Star Builder thing though. Then again, I had not seen anything that was a Star builder thing aside for Hanuman’s Gada, which meant I did not really know what the Star Builder tech would look like. This thing however, seemed a bit too simple. All it was, in fact, a belt that was made of a sort of plastic that was heretofore unknown to me. I had never seen this sort of plastic before. It was an odd mixture of silicone and of all things, Chitan, which is what my Juryoko knives were made of. I found it odd that Chitan would have been used.

The buckle itself was simple enough. The pyramids were made of gold and the sparkling stars in the background were also gold. The oval around it also gold. What struck me as odd thought was the fact that this thing didn’t really look like it was an electrical component, yet when I scanned it, it seemed to be electrical.

I looked at the symbol and wondered why any of this stuff was even used.

The two pyramids.

The snake.

The stars.

The oval.

They symbolized something.

Unless…the pyramids were not Pyramids at all but rather Zima stars, two sets of Zima stars. United together by that snake. Which two sets of Zima stars though? That was an interesting question. And even more interesting question was, why the snake? Unless the snake was not a snake, when I thought about it almost looked like a trail of a ship that started off in the distant stars then traveled through these sets of Zima stars, uniting them and then going back out to the stars together.

It was then I realized it was am emblem of a united civilization.

What kind of civilization. I knew not.

I realized something else as I was scanning this though.

This damned belt however the hell it was made. Could only be made by the person who had made it. There could not have been any other way that this belt could have been made. That much I knew for sure. Then there was this way that it seemed like it was specifically made…for me…it just felt like that. I grabbed the belt and I placed it around my waist.

When I did.

I jumped.

 A projection suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, somehow, I knew that it was something I could see however. The projection showed these weird lines. They were all sorts of different colors. The lines went all around me. The were small, very small in fact. The only reason why even felt that I could tell they were even lines at all was due to the fact that I could see them connected. What the hell were they? I thought.

When I asked that question in my mind this window popped up.

The window had a messaged written on them.

Thought lines.

It read.

What the hell is a thought line? I thought.

The message changed to:

Though Lines (n.)- on your HUD, the thought lines are represented by small lines that are otherwise invisible to normal unaided sight. The thought lines are represented by different colors depending on the intensity or emotion with the thought. For example, green lines are the general non-aggressive thoughts of people. These comprise of 90% of the thought lines visible. Since people are always thinking just general non-aggressive things throughout their days. See Colors of Thought.

I figured I should see what the colors of thought was but I also wondered what in the f**k a HUD was. Two weird windows popped up. One had HUD, and the other had Colors of thought. Since the HUD thing had confused me first I looked at that.

HUD (n.)- short for Heads Up Display, it is the thing you are looking at that is being projected to your vision by your belt.

Okay that made sense.

Then I looked at this Colors of thought thing.

Colors Of thought- Your HUD has been programmed to display the type of thought depending on the intensity and emotion behind the thought. To simplify this, this index of the colors of thought has been compiled.

Red- Anger or rage

Green- General un-emotional thought

Yellow- Annoyance

Blue- Sadness

Pink- Love

White- Serenity

Black- Evil

Along these primary colors other composite colors exist and some are listed below.

Orange-irritation to the point of anger

Gray-mild evil

Silver-Evil that is portrayed as Serenity

Purple- you know that feeling you get when you are so sad that you are angry that you are sad? Yeah that one.

I looked at that last one and somehow knew the monkey had to have written that.

The one that troubled me when I saw it, however, was the silver one.

Evil that is portrayed as serenity.

I didn’t really have too much time to look over the other colors that it mentioned, there had to be at least a dozen or so additional ones. I looked around the room again and realized there sure as hell was a lot of Silver. Aside for green there was a lot of Silver all over. I wondered why that was for a moment.

I closed the windows by thinking them closed and decided to follow the silver lines. They seemed to be concentrated from somewhere. I had to find out from where.

Though I had been in Glycol for a couple of months now I did not really explore around the base. I didn’t even see that chamber with all those alleged victims of Project Rho. As I followed these weird silver lines, I had to keep my eyes out for anything that I could see that would be of importance. The lines seemed to be concentrated in a general direction. So I followed them.

I had seen other thought colors as they were called. Mostly green, some yellow, an occasional orange or red, saw a purple one time which I thought was interesting. However, I just kept going through the motions of following this streamline of silver. What the hell could generate something like that here I wondered.

I wondered what could have generated something like that in general, maybe one of those weird angel things? That was possible.

I finally reached a sort of emanation point for the silver lines and prepared myself for whatever was going to happen. It was coming from behind a strange looking door I don’t remember seeing before. I opened it slowly and looked around. I looked inside of the room. I still saw this emanation point coming from inside of this room. I walked in and lights turned on as I did, I saw a chamber from which this silver lines emanated from.

It f*****g glowed Silver.

It was so silver it nearly blinded me.

“What in the f**k is this?” I said as I approached the chamber.

I walked towards this chamber raising my hands to shield the blinding silver light that came from this thing. For some reason a feeling of utter terror was going through my body as I was getting closer, as I was coming up to this chamber.

It was the same sort of feeling I felt when Hanuman had showed me that Om thing.

But somehow it was worst.

Much worst.

When I started to feel this I saw something pop up that said, “Dampers up,”

The terror subsided and the silver started to diminish.

It was replaced though.

By this blackness.

The Blackest black I had ever seen.

It was like the blackest black that had ever been blackened black.

It was just solid black.

Utter and horrendously black.

It was so black it was like staring at a hole in the cosmos that ate every sort of light imaginable.

It was so black it was as if my life force itself was being sucked into the deepest recesses of this darkness. This utter and complete darkness.

Darkness so vile so horrible it was hard to describe.

This was now starting to feel, a sort of feeling I had no way to convey.

This feeling was of sheer and utter unimagineable terror. I felt my hands tremble and my legs start buckling beneath my weight.

When I did this message appeared.

Screen up

When that happened the utter terror was gone but I still felt scared, really scared.

What in the s**t was in this chamber?

I built up courage and walked towards it slowly.

As I was coming up to it I felt that the darkness of whatever the hell was inside of the chamber was literally making me weak again.

Secondary screen up

My vision read.

I continued my walk.

I was soon about 15 feet away and I felt that I couldn’t get any closer. Shouldn’t get any closer. In the darkness there was a man. At least it looked like a man. A body of a man that was laying inside of this chamber looked like he was an ordinary average joe. Well if he was pure evil and made up of the blackest black holes you could find.

That is what this man reminded me I realized.

A black hole.

No light could escape from this man’s blackness.

Knowing from the color spectrum that meant this man was evil.

But seeing how at first he was utterly radiating silver disturbed me.

The fact that there was just such solid blackness underneath that silver…that disturbed me even more. I remember there was this passage I read at some point, when one is in the presence of pure evil, one only helps but to cower before it, for true evil is something that is not felt but rather experienced.

This is what I felt now.

I was experiencing pure evil.

Whatever the hell that thing was in that chamber.

It was pure evil.

The vilest.

The nastiest.

The blackest. The purest evil.

I could not stand there for much longer. I had to get the hell out of dodge.

I started to walk slowly back I saw that there was something written on the chamber: ONE
