Lost In Time, Found In Love [GL-Sapphics]

Chapter 14 - SciTell

LOST IN TIME FOUND IN LOVE

Savor every breath
Time slips fast through our fingers
Like grains of dry sand

"ARE you okay?" Eliza snapped me out of my daydreaming.

She's making breakfast, wearing one of my long sleeve polos. At first, I was watching her, but my mind was completely occupied by Cash. I couldn't stop thinking about her. I was filled with questions about why she had to leave like that, and it just didn't make sense to me.

Sa royal suite niya kami natulog kagabi, sa iisang kama, ngunit kinabukasan nagising na lang akong wala na siya sa tabi ko at ang mga gamit niya.

Without wasting any time, agad akong mag-imbestiga para alamin kung saan siya nagpunta, and it turns out she hopped on a plane to the Philippines all by herself. I have no idea how she managed it without any money. She likely got in touch with someone who help her every step of the way para makaalis dito.

"Let's face it, building another time machine would be a never-ending task, and I'm running out of patience to journey back in our time. So here's the plan... we need to uncover how our ancestors managed to travel to the future back in 1883 and analyze their approach."

It got me thinking, even us scientists have to face reality and acknowledge that things won't be a walk in the park, especially when we're missing some essential materials from 2159 that just don't exist in this era. Ang tanging pag-asang hawak ko lang kasi noong una na makakabalik pa ako ay ang tatay ko pero ngayong wala na siya, kailangan naming gumawa ng plano.

"Si Dr. Raun Rutherford."

"Dr. Raun Rutherford? His surname rings a bell, but who exactly is he?"

Itinuro ko ang laptop sa kanyang harapan, gets naman niya agad ang ibig kong sabihin kaya agad itong nagtipa.

As she delved into the information divulged about Dr. Raun, I couldn't help but smirk. She was so engrossed that I had to get up and quickly check the bacon she was frying.

"Raunch SciTell Advanced Discoveries, RSTD, led by Dr. Raun Rutherford, focuses on research related to machine learning, robotics, and computer vision. Their extensive contributions have revolutionized the field, paving the way for the creation of advanced machines and intelligent systems," ulat niya mula sa binabasa. "This is impressive, matutulungan niya tayo pero paano kung hindi naman niya tayo nakikilala?"

"The intriguing part that distinguishes RSTD from other companies is... his family name has a historical link to the Insurgent Circles dating back to 1883. This suggests that he might have some information or connections related to my dad and your family," pahayag ko sa mga impormasyong nakalap ko noon pa man. "Mahihirapan man tayong hingiin ang tulong niya pero hindi tayo mahihirapang paniwalain kung ano tayo at kung saan tayo galing."

She nodded in agreement, completely getting where my thoughts were headed. It's mind-blowing that it's only her and Avarina, aside from my dad, with whom I can have such deep discussions. It's like we have this unspoken understanding and connect on a profound level pagdating sa mga bagay na 'to.

Namilog ang kanyang mga mata. "If he's got the inside scoop on Insurgent Circles, we could totally hit him up and see if he can clue us in on the exact whereabouts of the 1883 time machine."

"Exactly..." Tumango ako. "For sure, we can repair and bring it back to life, no matter what it takes. It's the only way, Eliza. If the Insurgents were able to do it in 1883, we can definitely replicate their success this time. Seriously, it's 2015! We can expect way more advancements compared to back in 1883."
