Need a Book

Chapter 4

March 16:13

     I need to figure out how to get the plants I need. Dolor Bibendum requires three encyclias, but I'm making 20 potions, so I need 60 encyclias, which is about of the Orchids family. And not to destroy the plant, I can only collect one petal from each plant. And it's found in the Amazon Rainforest.

     I also need a White-Fleshed Pitaya 25 millimeters leaf, or enough leaves to add up to 25 millimeters. It's for the κινητήριος δύναμη potion, but it's a special ingredient, so that's the max I can get.

     Then, I'll get Oenothera Biennis from Newfoundland. I need 75 millimeters of the stem from it, so there's no way to save it from dying, so I'm going to go after the oldest plants, so when it dies, it'll already have lived life.

     Next one I'll go after is the Panellus Stipellus. It's a mushroom that glows, and I need five small ones. It's for the κινητήριος δύναμη potion, Power Mover. And I'll get them in Romania along with Foeniculum. Which is a Fenner, and I would need three leaves from it, but it's a general one, so I'll need 15 leaves, not three.

     Lastly, I'll return to London, and on a weekend, I'll get Polypodiopsida. Polypodiopsida is a fern native to England. I would need ten leaves instead of two because I'm getting five times the normal amount if it's a general ingredient. I don't know why I'm doing this, but something tells me to.

     It's the weekend, and I'm at the airport now. I'm first going to the Amazon Rainforest, then making my way back to England. I'm about to board a 10-hour, 17-minute flight. It used to be a 25-hour flight, but now, the longest it can take is ten hours.

     On the plane, I'm trying to work on a new virus. This one will leak into Atlas, and when the time comes, I'll activate it, and Atlas will get shut down and can't work unless I enter a code only I know and give it a drop of my blood so it can make the DNA.

     I've gotten out of the airport, and I'm not ready for what I've got to do. I have to walk into the forest alone, which isn't the hard part. The herd part is finding a part of this forest that still has all of the original plants.

     Over the years, the first has been destroyed a lot, and when they rebuilt it, the governments used any plants they wanted and thought would make it pretty and make people want to visit it.

     They succeeded in making this place a tourist attraction while hiding a massive database storage that hides many old archives that I'll have to explore if I ever come back here.

     I've been given a guide here as I have to walk far into the woods to find a different database they have here. I need to connect to it physically to access and fix the code.

     My guide, EX-1257, and I finally found the storage unit. I wasn't expecting human guards here, but I also saw some Vampires and Werewolves here too. Not that I'll let them know that.

     "Hello kid. How can we help you?" One of the guards asked. All of the other guards were pointing their guns at me or watching me with a close eye.

     "Um, Hi. I'm Nicky Truman. I'm here to fix some codes, or something. But I didn't know about all this."

     "Ah, you're the coder. It's nice to meet you, Nicky. How about you work on that tomorrow, as it's late and probably past your bedtime."
