Chapter 100
They moved out to the exit tunnel surrounded by the halo of white light emitted by the Orbs who were surrounding them. Mono carried a map with him as they moved through the tunnel. After 10 minutes of walking, they came to a similar inner cave that had about 6 scientists sitting in front of machines as statues in various stages of doing work. Another scientist was standing near the huge pulsating brain which was hanging at the other end of the wall of the cave. He was standing like a statue. On the wall was written, 'Time Machine Experiment I'.
The saw similar telephone booth-like structures which were two in number. These were similar to the ones seen in 'Dr. Who' series on television. The telephone booths had gla.s.s covers too. These were connected with wires to the computers and the computers were in turn connected with wires to the huge pulsating brain.

The group of trekkers felt it was a déjà vu thing. How strange, the entire cave was exactly the same as at Town M. Everyone started looking at Danny. He had tripped over a wire previously and pressed a b.u.t.ton accidentally which helped in destroying the entire Time machine and the connected computer systems as well as the huge brain.
Danny shook his head. He had no intention of doing the same thing again. Mono said that it would take him time to figure out where Danny had tripped and which b.u.t.ton he had pressed. He was not asking him to do the same again. But since
Luke Sir told Danny to go ahead and identify the wires of the system that he had tripped over and pressed the b.u.t.ton accidentally. Danny walked around as he had done in the previous cave, followed by Mono. He found the system and the attached wire as well as the red b.u.t.ton. Mono told him to step back and join the rest. 6 Orbs surrounded Mono and the rest of the Orbs covered the group directing them gently by moving towards them to step back towards the entrance of the cave.
Mono pulled the wire with his left foot and pressed the red b.u.t.ton with his right hand. A lot of sparks were seen coming out of the machines and the huge brain. The noise was also being emitted and the huge brain shriveled up to the size of a tennis ball. All the machines stopped functioning and a white cloud engulfed them. Soon the cloud subsided but the machines were damaged beyond repairs. The two telephone booths like containers had shattered gla.s.s, making their use impossible. The computer terminals which were wired to the brain had also burnt up.
They did not need to wait for the Orbs to come out on their own as some of the Orbs from Town M helped out. Orbs are basically shy as they do not know what they are. A cracking sound was heard from the shriveled brain and 25 blobs of white light came out. The 10 Orbs from Town M moved to the shriveled brain to receive them. The 10 Orbs communicated with them for about 15-20 minutes and these 25 Orbs joined the 75 Orbs. Now there were 100 Orbs in total recognizing their friends and relatives who had been trapped in the huge brain. The sight of the Orbs jumping about looked nice and funny too.
The 25 Orbs went around the entire cave raising electric current and soon sparks of electricity were seen all over the place hitting the computer terminals. Soon the computer terminals were burnt beyond recognition. The shriveled brain was also injected with a dose of electric current by these 25 Orbs in a combined exercise. As a result, the shriveled brain was burnt up beyond recognition.
Juan, the grandfather of Mono told him telepathically that they had not destroyed their Time Machine Experiment in Town M as they had destroyed it here in Town I and that they needed to do this as soon as returned and before embarking on the mission to free the freedom fighters who had been jailed in Town M as well as the scientists who had revolted against the making of the Time Machines there. No one should start to make such a horrendous thing again.
Mono had asked Juan, his grandfather, and Echo, his father to ascertain from the 25 Orbs of Town I to ensure that no blueprint or designs of the Time Machine remained there. Some old computers were kept in the storeroom. The Orbs aimed electric current at all the dumped terminals in the storeroom. Soon everything was destroyed actually charred beyond recognition.
Work finished thereafter they had proceeded to the jail area with the Orbs from Town I leading the way.
The issue of blueprints arose and it was informed by Mono that very little paper was used in their towns. They were highly pro-environment. Hence, the use of minimum paper was encouraged. It was not like in the cities above that the natural a.s.sets of the world were being destroyed by the ma.s.ses. The leaders did not even set an example of protecting their environment. Here, written work was restricted to the minimal that too for students studying in schools, colleges and to some extent in the university. Everyone else used solar-powered tablets. They had their own internet as well as their local radio stations which even played songs popular in the cities above. He also explained that there was a college in each town and the University was in Town M.
We were feeling hungry as we had not eaten anything since breakfast. Nanu approached Mono to postpone the jail work to the next day as they were hungry. They did not know what time it was. Mono agreed and as it was almost 5pm. He asked the Orbs about the canteen facilities and where they could spend the night.
