His daughter was nearby when the administrator had stormed in with his helpers. He had asked her to hide in the tunnel on the opposite side of the tunnel that led to the town. The administrator did not like family members to ever come to the workplace of the scientists as he felt it was a waste of time and caused a distraction to the scientists who were supposed to work on the project.
When the bad incident happened, she saw and heard everything. Luckily, she did not scream otherwise, she would have been caught and placed in prison. He wife had died long back and she was an only child. Who would have looked after her?
This made Neil come back as an Orb so that he would be there and his daughter who would not feel alone.
After his disappearance, the rest of the scientists refused to work. The administrator fabricated evidence and sent a communication to the Chief Administrator at Town M that the scientists had revolted and were not interested in doing any work that related to the experiment anymore. He even asked his men to blow up the tunnel connected to Town M. The tunnel collapsed. He put the entire blame on the scientists saying they were involved and arrested them.
However, many political persons and some people of the town escaped and complained to the Chief Administrator, that the local administrator was not good. They related how they were being hara.s.sed as well as the fact that he was the cause of the death of the scientist in charge of the experiment. He had also ensured that the tunnel connecting Town L to Town M was made to cave in. He blamed this as sabotage by the Scientists. Thus getting them arrested along with the people in the town who were sympathizing with them and imprisoned anyone who complained.
Ultimately Lilly wrote a letter to the Chief Administrator describing all that she had seen. On the basis of that complaint letter, the entire local Administrator team at Town L was placed under house arrest by the Chief Administrator. The experiment was halted.
Neil informed them that Lilly had grown up in this silent town and was mostly spending her time here in the caves. The incident happened 10 years ago. Because Lilly was his only child, he somehow pulled his energy together to become an Orb. Lilly rarely went home as she had found a cave where she had set up equipment to do a reverse time machine which would reverse his atoms to give him back his body. She has full confidence that she will achieve her goal one day. She was working on this theory and spending all her time in the hidden cave doing experiments. She was now a mature young woman and spending all her time in the cave was not good.
"Lilly knows about you all and has been waiting to meet you,"
The off-white Orb called his daughter to come out and not be afraid. Surprisingly, she had not turned into a statue, how come? Just then, from the tunnel opposite to the tunnel that led to the Town, walked out a tall pretty girl who was very tall and almost as tall as Mono. All the girls started matchmaking her with Mono. Mono was 7'7" and Lilly seemed to be 7' in height.
Lilly was a shy girl but extremely intelligent. She had seen tragedy very closely. Her mother had died when she was 5 years of age. Her father was a mother and a father to her. She completed her schooling with good marks. As her interest was in science, she got admitted to Town M's University. She completed her college education and went on to study further. She wanted to be a scientist and had studied molecular biology and she did well studying it. This is that branch of biology that deals with the structure and function of the macromolecules (e.g. proteins and nucleic acids) essential to life. She was also studying about nanotrites, those tiny, molecular "robots" which injected into a host organism is capable of enhancing or suppressing a wide range of biological functions.
Body composition can be a.n.a.lyzed in many ways. This can be done by way of chemical elements present, or by their molecular type e.g., water, protein, fats (or lipids), hydroxylapat.i.te (in bones), carbohydrates (such as glycogen and glucose) and DNA.
In terms of tissue type, the body can be a.n.a.lyzed into water, fat, connective tissue, muscle, bone, etc.
In terms of cell type, the body contains hundreds of different types of cells, but notably, the largest number of cells contained in a human body (though not the largest ma.s.s of cells) are not human cells, but bacteria residing in the normal human gastrointestinal tract.
Then there are the elements. Almost 99% of the human body ma.s.s is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% comprises of five other elements which are pota.s.sium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All 11 elements are necessary for life.
The remaining elements are trace elements, a dozen or more of which are thought to be necessary for life. All the trace elements put together weigh less than 10 grams for a human body and these do not even add up to the body ma.s.s of magnesium, which is the least common of the 11 non-trace elements.
Not all elements found in the human body in trace quant.i.ties play a role in human life. Some of these elements are thought to be simple bystander without any function for examples caesium and t.i.tanium. There are many others which are thought to be active and toxics, depending on amount available like cadmium, mercury, and radioactives, Cadmium and lead are certainly toxic in amounts very much larger than normally when found in the body. a.r.s.enic which is considered toxic in higher amounts, is essential in ultra trace quant.i.ties, in some mammals like rats, hamsters, and goats.
