When Things Began Working

We started seeing some figures in the black and white images of the night vision camera. But the figures were not very clear. We couldn’t figure out what we were seeing. After 2 months of fruitless research and planning, One day Rover decided to end the results through an EMF. I don’t know why but we got some unexpected results. We were hard at work when Rover came downstairs running, She was just crying out, “guys, guys look, look!!”. It was rare seeing Rover so excited.

When we reached rover she showed us a screen recording. Yes! This was it. We finally made it. We saw what could not be seen. We did some experiments until late that day. When it was about the late evening when Matt said this question, What do we call that what lies unseen? Spirits? Ghosts? And what do we call the World of the unseen? At first, Matt came up with some stupid names like “the beyond” or “ the Void” but then Rover said a name that we accepted, the Parareal, that’s what we decided to call it. And the figures, the Dwellers.

At first, we only saw small round gray figures. Like fireflies, but with different sizes. Some small as a spec of dust and some the size of a cuticle of the thumb. We learned how these dwellers worked. They are usually small round figures that float around. The smaller ones rarely seem to combine with the biggest ones. Maybe the bigger ones are consuming smaller ones to become bigger. We still don’t know. Rover usually sat and watched the figures move around. We were pretty sure that Rover was just Charecterising them.

This made us want more. We wanted to feel them. They obviously existed in the same space as us. So, we opened the house we made for the first time after we set up the equipment in the house. The first try was just touching them directly without any equipment, just hands. They seemed to move through us. They cannot be touched. Makes sense. So we need something related to an EMF that in the first place made the Dwellers known to us. So, Matt and I began working on something like gloves that can touch the Dwellers while Rover and Zee continued characterizing them.

I think we finished the work on the gloves by mid-fall. We started the final tests right after. First, we wanted to know what it would feel like when we touch it. But the first test result came out pretty disappointing. The Dwellers did not want to be touched. So we decided to send someone into the chamber/house. Zee actually volunteered. What happened then also was disappointing but beautiful. As Zee entered the chaimber all Dwellers started to move towards her and surround her. The Dwellers as they touched Zee’s hands disintegrated into a cloud. We now knew that they could not be touched. Then next we wanted to know if we could capture the Dwellers. Not out of ill intent but just out of curiosity. After all we didn’t know if they had feelings or even sense. We knew that they could sense us.
