Genesis. It all led off with Genesis. Centuries ago, mighty humans with an outstanding intelligence stepped on the face of the earth with undeniable theories that stood as a mesmerizing factor for almost all the common men around this planet.

Such intellect brains gathered together and combined various theories, where a word "science" was first initiated. A single word that held an outrageous power to itself. A word that hypothesis an odyssey of you and me, when we're prompted to step on this world. A word that held truthfulness of almost everything around the face of this earth.

Science's arrival was not just a sooth to the humans but was and is a threat to the community that humans fail to acknowledge many a times. Threat? You may ask. How would a scientific theory assail us into any affliction? Why would a scientific knowledge cause any human's pure life at a stake? And the response to this uncomplicated question is not as straightforward as it may seem. Because the solution can only be responded once any human will look into the past of a history maker, who's sagacity caused his own blood's life at stake. Life of Lucas Dean.

Lucas's baggy eyes traversed to the upside and glared at the sky above that loaded up with unlighted billow like clouds. Various thunderous flashes occupied everyone's attention. Lucas's impatience was sprouting more and more in him that his eyes met with his fellow co-workers, to which they nodded politely and smiled back in reassurance.

Lucas's palms traversed to his eyes, pressing more dense, he let out a growl of frustration. Steadily, he let himself pace his breathing from a rapid to an usual level. While his mind roved into different imaginary theories of dreadfulness, a hand on his shoulder grasped his attention. Lucas looked up with a sorrowful utterance. A genuine smile tugged around the corners of the man, who's a well known companion of Lucas on his mission 'S98 research'.

S98 research. Lucas scoffed with a displeasure as the words reached his ears.

"Have a little faith on her, Luke. She has dealt with many hardships in her life and yet she returns back with more strength than ever" The statement hit Lucas's heart with warmth and a hopeful wave waived around the surroundings to which Lucas nodded responsibly.

"Don't you ever once forget about how much hard work we've put to this mission, Luke. A scientist never loses hope .In fact, it increases higher and higher like a eagle that flutters to the sky for its prey."

"Man, get yourself together! Now we don't want to scare your daughter away with that jigsaw look of yours in the first encounter itself, do we? Go clean yourself up and we'll wait here until you come."

"Can I get some water?" Lucas interrogated with a needy look crossing his eyes.

"I'd say to drink your own spit if you're thirsty but I would restraint my tongue to say furthermore encouraging words in a times like these."

"Thanks" Lucas muttered and slowly faced the opposite direction.

The reassurance of Luke's best friend struck in his mind that it brought an urge for his limbs to clean himself up before he welcomes his daughter with wide fatherly arms. Slowly walking towards a male bathroom, Luke looked himself in his reflection and caught a glimpse of his pitch black hair messily fallen over his forehead.

His hands shivered with a sudden contact of cold water from the running tap. Joining his hands together, he contained few droplets of water and threw over to his face to take away a mask that he was tired of building around his friends and families. Noticing that the bathroom was utterly silent, his eyes crinkled up around the corners and tears threatened to fall which urged to wet his youthful cheeks.
