The Hellseeker - Episode 1

The rot has been real. It's been a long I have checked my PDA. I don't want to see the messages anymore. Earth is far from here and yet there is no peace. Slavery walks with me wherever I go. I have been working tirelessly to open the portal to the world which they call hell. It's just a dimension, and I have no idea whether it is actually the souls from the earth go. I have had glimpses of it. Last time the portal had just opened and then the system shut down. Of course I need more radioactive material for experiment and yet the bosses on earth don't sanction me more. I don't check messages from earth anymore. I charge the PDA and I leave it alone. Some of the people ask me why hell and not heaven. And I suppose it is because I want to rescue people from hell, and not disturb the heaven. To be truthful, heaven is far more unreachable with the amount of radioactive material I have to open portals. Hell is practically easy, and that there would be a chance to rescue people is an added bonus. The glimpses I have had of it it is not really similar to what is given in religious scriptures, but yes I saw a glimpse of monstrous, and you can call them demonic, entities when the portal had opened a bit. That human souls are trapped in it is still not known. How do I know it is hell? Well you just know sometimes. I took the help of the ancient scrolls for my cutting edge research, I mingled the spiritual with science and it has taken me twenty years. Yes I had to take help of corporations to further my research but that's a price one has to pay for new discoveries and new knowledge. Money doesn't grow on trees. Mars has been quite the place for this research. I have one whole dome for myself and my research, and the Mars administration due to the orders from earth doesn't disturb me. Masters on the earth were forcing me to further experiments in direction of heaven, but then I told them that they would need way more nuclear material than that is practically available on Mars. Hell was easier and once it is reachable we can try for heaven too. They agreed. I know that nothing is hidden from them. They know what I think, and thus there is no need of hiding from them. Bottomlines matter and they know that they would have to transport a lot of radioactive material through space for the heaven experiment, and thus they want hell to be a success first. Earth has rotten beyond redemption and who would have thought that slavery would walk with them even when humanity reaches other planets. It's truth though and nothing can be done about it. I'm a scientist and the only way for me is to keep searching new vistas, and while doing that I have to be useful to the masters on the earth. They know how I think and yet they can do nothing because it's me and only me who can truly understand my research and I have to keep being the useful idiot for them to keep surviving.
