Authors pov. The true story about being Frozen
He was totally ignorant of the facts, his only goal was to benefit from the outcome. That had been his purpose from the very start : eternal life. Eternal life, every thing else was expendable. He feared nothing more than death. To be obliviated, surpassed, deleted like some useless file. The fear of death made him volunteer for deepfreezing after death, or in case of mortal disease. Now however, he didn't want to grow old but needed to stay young. In order to do that there was still too long a way to go. He had to take action for his own benefit and he did have the means. Money was not a problem. Ever.
Let's just rewind and land on the date where our boys arrive at Cape Canaveral. They were on tour and Namjoon had made a wish to see the famous base. The site for space travelling, a leap forward for humanity , he thought. They were exited and a personal guide would lead them safely through all the facilities. A businessman called Renfield had generously payed for their visit. For safety, they were alone that particular morning.
Wideeyed and happily chattering they arrived in a limousine, greeted like the stars they were, but they stayed humble and polite to everyone, just like always. The staff spoke about them long after, in a sad and despaired mode. They saw the building burn to the ground, they saw the crisp burned corpses being retreated from the ashes. Many of them cried and many joined at the funeral. ALL of them were told to keep silent about the accident. The official explanation would be that BTS had decided to defect and leave the musical limelight. Tired of pressure and tight schedules, tired of being bullied and controlled by the Korean music world and their own company no better.
Only the boys families were to be told the truth about the accident.
The truth however was much dirtier than this. The magnat and powerful businessman Kirk Renfield had pulled several strings. For years he had shovelled money into the project of deepfreezing people in order to wake them up when options were better. Initially it was meant for very solid people seeking help for mortal disease and hoping for science to solve the mystery in a few years. Renfield however wasn't sick in any way. But he was too chicken to take the step himself at first, and when he heard of the group from Korea he thought these young and strong boys could serve as guinea pigs for the new advanced and very controversial freezing method. There had been no human testing as yet ,it was believed far too dangerous . But even the pure hearted scientists could be convinced with the proper amount of money. Their research had no support from health institutes or other governmental facilities, but they really believed in this method. Renfield promised a secured period of 10 years, totally payed for and with new technical devices.
So they agreed, having heard that these boys really wanted to do this, being Asians with a queer view on the afterlife, as they were told. The headlines had spoken of defection. Renfield also produced signed and sealed agreements from each of the members. Fake of course.
And so 6 healthy young, sedated men were placed in the new device, far away from anybody's knowledge.
Renfield had also supported the very expensive project of improving AI .For the benefit of the human race, he said. The result was presented to the public in 2025,and so the amazing humanoid Twins, Singular and Cellular was the peak of several years of research. They were almost immediately used for long-distance travelling, serving as security officers or science officers.
Due to the unknown conditions forced by mister Renfield, the first assignment was to investigate a new found planetoid called PX47. There had been signs of life found by satellite scanning.
Renfield however disappeared from the scene long before that, leaving a message to the world that he had joined the Children of God , in Bolivia, tired of the glamorous life he had lead. Strangely enough, the conditions and secrecy around the projects he had administered, were still valid.
Hoseoks pov. The awakening
His head felt like it was going to burst, it hurt more than he had ever experienced in his life.
He could feel his entire body aching and the internals being in turmoil.
God, what was this! And his eyes!
Feeble fingers started to search for his face, only to find a bandage covering his eyes and one covering part of his scalp. The mere touch made him whine.
" Oooh, noo!" His voice was only a faint shadow of his usual strength. He coughed wildly and gasped for air.
" Here, let me help you" a soft voice addressed him in formal Korean. He felt soft hands placing wet towels on his forehead and the head part of the bed lifted with a wheezing sound.
" Shall I help you sit up straight?" It was that soft voice again. Soft voice, soft hands. A faint sweet fragrance reached him. He nodded, unable to speak. A mask with oxygen was placed over his face, it was a relief. He took deep breaths. A small soft hand was holding him behind the shoulderblades. He felt a lot more secure with that hand, even if his entire body felt like a rock.
" Can you tell me your name?"
His name? Name? He realized that he had no idea whatsoever. It was all blank. All dark.
It scared him and he started to hyperventilate. The surroundings, the soft hands, the bed he was in, everything felt alien and scary. He tore the oxygen mask off and felt a strong urge to run, legs over the edge and bare feet on the floor, rising and hitting the soft hands trying to hold on.
" Get away from me , get away!!!!" He was yelling, the sound had him even more scared but once he stood up, the world started to go in waves. He threw up and collapsed on the floor, hitting his shoulder on the way down but his head was caught by that soft pair of hands.
" Whoever you are , I'm afraid you will have to save that escape routine for later.Right now you are more Anpanman than Superman. Come on, I'll help you up, I'm not here for your scalp, you need care and that's what I will give you!" She helped him up, wiped him off and changed his shirt faster than he could think. He relaxed listening to her voice, it sounded like coming home. Tears came from nowhere, overpowering him.
He couldn't see anything. He didn't know his own name. He knew nothing .
But right now, lying there helpless,he wanted two things and two things only;
See her face and see the sun set over the water.
" I'm nurse Ae ra, I will be taking care of you until tomorrow morning. The sun is setting outside now, I wish you could see it, in a few days, you will."
" Will I?" His voice sounded cracked and reluctant, but he felt a glimpse of hope.
" You have a needle attached, be careful not to hurt yourself. I will escort you to the bathroom, I take it you need to go?"
He knew his face turned blushing red, but after all, she was a nurse and from her informal speech, he knew she was older. How did he know? No use to ask.
Singulars pov. A letter to Taehyung
/Mr Kim, I'm writing this to you because I didn't have time to tell you everything. And you are very special, even for a human.
By the time you see this I've been turned into spare parts( a joke I think you would call it)
My brother , my twin, was wasted long before me, there was not much left of him but I got the chip, you have it now. But he gave me information that you need to know, it's not on the chip. On the chip you'll se the entire progress of spacetravels, deepfreezing and hibernating but one more thing too.
Renfield, or Holler as you know him, wanted eternal youth. I don't understand humans but he said that we were lucky, we didn't age. The creatures on PX47 had something in their blood that postponed the aging process, even retreating it. You'll see it on the chip.
You were deepfrozen for several years and then turned over to hibernation. You would eventually start aging rapidly, that process couldn't be reversed. When Holler woke up he took the second injection, the first was given to you and since nobody died he took it.
Holler was returned to earth secretly, new identity, new power and all his savings left.
His empire was rebuilt quickly but nobody understood who he was.
It's been two years. Captain Park became a loyal subject and knew he had to retrieve more specimens for the potion. That's why the Omelas stopped. Cellular was managing the ship along with only one science officer and an engineer. Only Cellular knew who you were. He knew about the injections and told me who he gave it to and how it worked.
He collapsed in my sight. Read this carefully little moonchild.
This is important: Holler only got one injection and you need three to get the effect.
There's only two of you that got three injections, what happends if you only get two is unknown. You need to contact the lab and get tests on your blood, quickly,
The following persons needs to test as soon as po......./ From here the note was destroyed and they looked at Taehyung in panic, what now? Where they going to die?
