In 23rd Century Theme A distant nation Shinland spoils its natural resources and exploits nuclear energy excessively beyond limits. But nuclear energy proved to be curse due to emission of nuclear radiations land become barren and women infertile. They fiercely fought eco friendly country on earth for survival as wished to use human shield against radiations, but they survived due to generosity of people on earth. Caste (Shinland ): King Crown, General Golda , Brigadier ,soldiers (Earth) : Nelson , Nova , Pintoo, inhabitants

Part I,

Time

23rd Century

It is tale of a distant nation, Shinland, was far away from the earth. Inhabitants of country due to infighting burn oils wells of the others groups and facing acute shortage of petroleum products. Also exploited natural resources indiscriminately which rendered then to miserable situation. However science was in their blood , after consuming the natural resources they resorted to excessive use of nuclear energy. The height of men was over 7 feet and that of women up to six feet. And average life is 150years. Most of them were having macro chips inserted in their brains to fight diseases. They were facing death threat. The national day or day of the people was being celebrated. The King Crown of the nation was addressing the people and was along with head of each department .On this day everyone is free to interact with King Crown. He began speech We and our ancestors were fool as they thought , natural resources are infinite and nuclear energy is our slave , but nuclear energy is master. I am realizing now Nuclear Energy is master not slave. How ? one person asked When our natural resources diminished , we started using never ending nuclear energy utilizing vast reserves of Plutonium . But due to its radiations emitting by Plutonium used in production of energy, now our land has become nearly barren. We are just getting few kilograms of grains where we were used to get few quintals about 50 years ago. The radiations have reduced the productivity of soil many times. The poisonous radiations are spoiling seeds and sprouts alike.

Also our population is bare minimum. Due to disastrous radiations the chromosomes in men and women are disturbed and fertilization is not possible. The women are not able to conceive. If a child is born then that is male child, no girl child is born here. Now situation is that in this vast country there are 75,000 men and 25000 women . Also we have over 100,000 vehicles including small planes . It is due to reason that radiations emitted due to nuclear sources have disturbed the fertility in men and women. We have put macrochips in brains of people which fought the diseases. Now average life in our country is 150 years Health Minister added In our country the doctors and agriculture scientists are highly paid. So that they may produce nuclear radiation resistant medicines and seeds. Today we are at the verge of starving, we highly depend for food on sea- foods. King Crown said But it is due to fault of our ancestors. They spoilt and misused natural resources we used nuclear energy and which have dreadful effects. One person said Whosoever may at fault. We have to make good of losses. I ask all of you to act as scientist and doctor to improve status of mankind. Otherwise we will see even last death in front of you eyes. This is my appeal This is my appeal. King Crown made an emotion appeal. We will we will . All people said by raising hands Technologically we are at the best. All the daily life equipments computerized , even microchips are fitted in brain. In our kitchen gas stove utilizes nuclear energy. Needless to mention trains, buses , ships airplanes all work with nuclear energy. The place of cars is being taken by small airplanes which can carry 1-5 people. General Golda said Fellow country men , move ahead. Fight with death , win life. King Crown said There were many cultural items , songs , drama etc to commemorate the national day. All people enjoyed then feast was given by King Crown. xxxxxx Scene 2 People on Earth xxxxx People on the earth enjoyed eco friendly and radiation free atmosphere. Nelson with his group was going on long dive. His girl friend Nova was also a member. I wish to have long and deep dives. Pintoo said No , just yesterday you have returned from mountaineering expedition. Nelson said So what ? I have touched the highest peak and hence also want to dive to the bottom of the sea as well. Pintoo said It is dangerous , why dont you understand. Nova argued. It is not more dangerous than expedition which I have just completed. Pintoo insisted It is really strange? Nova said

If you dont wish to take me , it all right. I will go alone. I have my dive-suit. Pintoo said Does not matter, you come with us. But always remain in touch with me. There are dangerous marines in sea. They can eat or harm in no time. You are just of 16 years, thus youngest diver in our group. Nova said It is not age but skill and courage matters. Pintoo said Firstly the group of five went by jeep to the shore and from the shore they dived deep in the sea. Soon Pintoo separated from the group and none was able to contact him. Also King Crowns 10 men were diving to complete their research project. Nelson , Pintoo is not traceable. Nova said He will be here only. Nelson said I suspect presence of some dubious creatures in the sea. Nova said In sea all creatures are suspicious. You look care through telescope. Nelson said You are in very light mood even hour of distress. Nova replied I find no distress here at all. Be positive, be confident and enjoy diving. Neslon said xxxxxxx Scene 3 SEA On Earth xxxxxxxx Boss, I find a thing which we have never seen in the sea. First researcher said Is it true? What is the specialty in your new finding? Boss asked Had I captured that you would have seen with your eyes. But that creature was too swift. I feel some equipments in his dive suit are damaged , as I have aggressively chased him First researcher said. Let us go take me to the direction he has gone. Switch on your ultrafast computer equipped with electronic sensors. Boss said He has gone towards the rocky part of bottom and might be hiding in the cave. Nelson sent distress signals to Pintoo but all were not responded King Crown researchers moved in the direction where Pintoo had fled. Soon they reached in the cave. Pintoo was there but unconscious. Carefully catch him , Pintoo seems to be hurt. Boss said Researchers took hold of Pintoo. We have never seen such a creature in the sea. It means our knowledge is incomplete about the sea. We will carry it to our laboratory for further study. But important thing is to save his life. His oxygen supply have been disconnected during the chase. Researcher said They tried to save him with equipments in nuclear submarines and took him to Shinland. xxxxxxx Scene 4 Shinland xxxxxxx

Took the Pintoo to laboratory but he was found dead. Take of the diving-suit and study everything minutely. He belong to a nation which is scientifically advanced but far behind than us. Marine Director said Sir I have seen record of 200 years such creature have never seen before. Take some pieces of flesh from this body. Researcher said One soldier pushed Pintoos body out. Take it away. First soldier said to second soldier Take it away. Second soldier said to third soldier The third soldier was heavily drunk . He took body to butcher. Brigadier has said that his meat will be cooked today in weekly party. It is strict order , Brigadier will himself attend dinner party. Third soldier said. Did brigadier really order for this? Butcher asked If non believer, then dont prepare meat, brigadier will cook your meat. The third soldier said. Now butcher frightened. Bring this body, cutting machine, skin removing machine, piece maker to the field . I will cut it in open. Butcher said Brigadier has said the meat must be boneless. Soldier said After some time meat was sent to kitchen and served in dinner to about 40 couples. It was only non-vegetarian item in the dinner. xxxxxx Scene 5 Earth xxxxxxx Youth festival was being celebrated, different shows were organized highlighting activities by youth. There were four main activities in which Nelson and Nova were taking part. Also 15 other pairs were taking part in the competions. (i) Kiss at the top of tree. The girls were sitting on top of coconut trees. Boyfriend was to climb up the tree and kiss the at top. Then take her down Nelson and Nova won this event. Al (ii) Carry girl friend to longest distance. Boyfriend was to mount the girl friend on the shoulder and run to the maximum distance. Nelson and Nova won this event (iii)Feeding girlfriend with bananas. Here the role of girlfriend was too significant. Nelson peeled off bananas and fed to Nova. Nelson and Nova won the event. (iv) Run while kissing. As the name suggests it was interesting event. In all the fours events and danced together as winner of events. xxxxxx Scene 6 Shinland xxxxxxxx In some fields Beautiful crops grew. It was amazing at that time. Many scientists tried to take the credit. Also have competition in this regard. But the crops were grown only in some field.

Similarly in the lower cantonment nearly 40 women became pregnant. It was another good news. King Crown decided to honor pregnant women. I am extremely happy 40 women are pregnant which our doctors could not do for 30 years. The government will provide health facilities to these women. Sir, encouraging thing is that these women have 20 girls and 20 boys in the womb. Whereas in our country there are 75,000 men and 25,000 women Doctor said But still we are unable to understand the reason for pregnancies . Which medicine proved effective, just find out and let me know. King Crown said Then King Crown honored the 40 women with silverish hats. Those who will give birth to girls will be honored with golden hats. King Crown said Then King with his coterie went to see the crops in fields. It is very good. It is very nice. How it happened. Only few fields have crops. The crops are decreasing from the central field to outwards. King Crown said Sir , let us move forward in the fields. General Golda said Oh ! Why bones and skull are lying here? Who is murdered here. King Crown said These bones and skull are not of our man. A pigmy man was caught in the sea and I was asked to prepare his meat .This meat was eaten by inhabitants of lower cantonment . Only ladies of lower cantonment are pregnant. General Golda said to himself. But why there are crops in few fields? Why just few ladies became pregnant?. Prime Minster pondered. Sir one thing is sure. Only the ladies who ate human flesh are pregnant. And the field in which bones and skull are placed having bumper crops. So there is relation between them. General Golda said. What do you want to say. Sir, ladies lacks fertility and land is barren due to nuclear radiations. Human flesh absorbed these radiations . Thus radiations were balanced. Hence women grew pregnant. As skull and bones absorbed ration in the fields, thus bumper crop grew. General Golda said Is it true? Prime minister asked I have the most advanced PK 100GB macro chip inserted in brain. If so then men and women can be our savior and shields. Catch them and bring here. We will use then a medicine. King Crown said Part II xxxxxx Scene 7 On the Earth xxxxxxx A strong army of 200 well built soldiers, about 7 feet in height and 125 kg in weight reached

shore through sea route. They moved through mountain. Soldier were tired What is the guarantee we will reach in colony? one soldier asked This is the guarantee. General Golda shot at him I cannot tolerate any person thinking negative in my charge . Second day at mid noon they reached village. As they fired anesthesia capsules men and women grew unconscious. They dragged 10 unconscious people towards the sea, now by short route. The news was broken to hero of the village Nelson. He was surprised over the developments. Initially he did not believe. Following the footprints he followed intruders. Sir , they are after us. One soldier said That is very good fire anesthesia capsules with long range silencer gun. General Barbola ordered Now more people grew unconscious, they all dragged then to nuclear submarine. It was the biggest blow to Nelson. Oh! How it happened? My father, my mother, my beloved either are dead or taken away in submarine by these intruders. Now how I can go back to my people. What I will tell them where are about 20 people who accompanied me to the sea shore. There is no use of living. My parents, my girl friend, and my friends are all dead that due to my misadventures. It was my decision to follow the intruders; even I dont know where are those. Why I left the field? I should have faced the bullet and gone with all of them. He reached the hill with gunny bag filled with stones. He tied the gunny bag with waste. He opened a bottle of poison and was about to drink it. After drinking poison he would have fell roll down the hill, into the sea with gunny bag around the waist. All of sudden he was inspired by a firefly, who was daring the darkness. Later on butterfly struck his forehead. It gave him new lease of life. He got with fighting spirits to do better than hidden enemies. Enemies by mistake have a forgotten machine there with screen. xxxxx Scene 8 On the Earth xxxxx One day in the evening inactive machine showed some signals, implying that intruders are coming near. That was in fact right. Nelson took guns and ammunition and move towards the point where intruder attacked. It grew late evening and machine became inactive. Oh our electronic gadgets are not working . We are helpless. What happened / enemy might have jammed our electronic signals. Brigadier Barbola cried Let us go back. They shouted Nelson immediately fired and killed as many as10 soldiers without being hurt. Soon few people from the town reached there.

The dead bodies of the foes is as respectable as living friends. Take then all, and should have respectable burial. Nelson said All the electronic gadgets were silent alike dead bodies. People brought dead bodies home and housed in a room. How wonderful it is? Here all the electronic gadgets are working. Nelson wondered We should preserve their army suits , weapons and other things for study. Shobala ( sister of Nova) said That is right. But why the Gadgets are not working. It is mystery, it is associate with intruders. Without solving the riddle I cannot destroy them and save my country from havoc. Nelson said We are all with you Nelson Everybody said. These are very strong torches and giving lot of light. Let go the point of encounter and find out other equipments if left. Nelson said But as they reached at the point of encounter, again torches blown off. It is strange , it is strange. The torches and other electronic gadgets are glowing and blowing off at will. It has to be understood. Nelson said. They buried all dead bodies except one which was sent for postmortem. The electronic gadgets were adjudged for their working at home, in fields, marshland, mountains at morning evening and night. They drew some conclusions but confirmatory conclusion needed some more test. What is age of this soldier? Nelson said It is 130 years and height 7.5 feet and weight 130kg. The body is fit and stout. The body definitely belonged to the region which is both scientifically and medically very much advanced than us. Doctor said after postmortem xxxxxx Scene 9 on the earth xxxxx Dr Shobala, it is my firm belief that light radiation emitted by fire flies interferes with waves emitted by electronic gadgets of intruders. So when the electronic gadgets come near the waves of fireflies they stop working. Nelson said If so then it can be checked , I will send helpers with firefly net to catch as many as they can. Fireflies were trapped and experiment was conducted. Yes , Mr Nelson you are right, the intruders were defeated by fireflies only. Dr Shomaru, we have fireflies , we have waves or radiations emitted by fireflies . Cannot we have radioactive samples which emit radiations like fireflies so that we can stop the intruders even during day. Why not, let us try purposely a group will be formed. Hopefully we will succeed. Shomaru

Part III xxxxxx Scene 10 Shinland xxxxxxx Oh ! it is so nice to see you at my residence. General Golda said Why do you want to kill parents of Nelson. Nova asked People are brought here to kill for our survival. But such decisions are taken by King Crown. Anyhow I will ask him to free them. In my opinion they are surviving because of being old. General Golda said Can you give me few milliliters or drops of poison. I wish to commit suicide. Because it is the respectable way to die. Dejected Nova said No it is not fair. Just see I have recently planted a macro chip of 100GB in my brain . Now it contains all military information in my brain. I have myself designed this chip Soon I am going to attack the Earth soon. General Golda said So you are planning to attack the Earth again. Nova asked Yes, it will continue . Our survival due to human beings on the earth. None can stop us. If we have to save them, then it is absolutely necessary you follow me literally . Unmindful of what Golda said Nova went out and sat in lawn. xxxxxxxx Scene 11 On the Shinland xxxxxxxx Sir , dead human bodies are turning out to be boon for us. Eating the flesh women are getting pregnant. The bones and skulls of humans are fetching high yield in the fields. General Golda said But there are no humans in the store. So we need to capture more. King Crown said Sir we should plan to catch at least 10,000 persons for our safely immediately. I plan to lead the charge this time with help of Speedo Helieo (advanced helicopter) . General Golda said Further none of my soldier must die, take it granted. King Crown said Good luck . But be beware of the fact that in the evening electronic gadgets of our soldiers did not work. The enemies may have not developed anti-signal mechanism. King Crown said General Golda prepared 10 Speedo Helieo and each had 10 crew members. Each Speedo was filled with weapons and anesthesia capsules. Each one too have small nuclear bombs fitted. Each Speedo could have brought 1,000 persons at a time. Helieos were ready to fly. Bring Nova here. King Crown ordered . A soldier brought her in the military jeep. Have you agreed to become my wife, then you would have been brought here in luxury car with full state honor, Miss Nova. King Crwon said Where Speedo Helieo are going?

You know it. They going to kill your lover. Today you have come to my place in the evening. Lot of time was given to you. All the persons captured with you are killed in front of your eyes. You know, you are alive for the special purpose, Miss Nova King Crown said. So you have to come to my palace voluntarily and cheerfully. No force will be applied. Or tomorrow in the mid day, you will be stripped of by the special dogs. The dogs will tear off your clothes. The poisonous snakes will cling your body. Then my favorite dog will bite at both the legs and thighs for first instance. It will be repeated after few days. You can see everything on the screen along with thousand of people. King Crown said Nova was frightened. Nova looked at King Crown tearfully. Speedo Helieo flew and attained speed of 15,000km/hour soon. The operation was commanded by General Golda. Soon they reached at destination, Helieos aligned according to commands. Pilots dropped brain anesthesia capsules, people became unconscious. Helieos came down and crew members dragged people inside the doors. Golda again ordered them to rise. When they reach at desired height. Just to show the supremacy I am dropping the lightest bomb AS88d. It will cause some localized havoc setting area in fire. These will not confront with in future. The havoc was caused at the city. Then they came back after the successful mission. Golda was too happy over this success. Soon he reached his nation Shinland and given heroic welcome. Now Nova will be impressed with my bravery, valor and vitality. Now definitely she will agree with my proposal to marry me. Now the hidden dream of General Golda was coming out. Nova learnt that Golda has retuned devastating the half city and capturing about 5,000-10,000 innocent people. It transformed her completely. She decided to go to General Golda house. Nelson , Nelson, now excuse me. I have to do which I never wanted to do. Nelson I cannot marry you as I wish to marry my motherland. I am forgetting my individuality, my existence, my promise for the sake of nation. I see a very feeble hope to protect my nation due to this step. I am taking new birth today. Nelson you may get more beautiful, young and sweet wife, but the nation can be only and only saved by me. My best wishes are with you. Just forget me. xxxxxxxx Scene 12 On the Shinland xxxxxxxxx Nova reached at Goldas house How did you come here? Golda asked looking Nova at his home. Congratulations , for heroic feat and I want to see your laboratory. Novas asked It is here ,Macro electronics laboratory , here I made 100GB macro chip fitted in my brain.

10

Here is chemical laboratory acids , bases and poisons to process super semiconductors. Golda said I want this bottle of poison to use very soon. As Golda went ahead and Nova took bottle of poison and put in her purse. Then General Golda got a call from King Crown King Crown wants to meet me. Let us go to Kings Palace. Golda said Soon they reach near kings palace. They talked on various topics. In next attack you capture at least 30,000 people. Start making preparations right now. I have ordered Engineer-in-Chief to make a big prison as soon as possible. Sir , I will do, but right now I am a bit tired . Can we have drinks together ? Golda asked Nova will make the drinks for us. King Crown said I was waiting for this opportunity. Thank you King. The devil called Golda must die now. Nova said to herself. She made peg in golden glass for King Crown. Grace the glass , Sir. Nova said Each took one peg after , another peg after other. In between she gathered courage and removed the bottle with trembling hands as she wanted to drink it. But she put few drops of poison in the peg of Golda. Golda , a genius , a warrior, a loyal General have this, it is for you. Nova said As the peg was offered with so nicely Golda sipped it quickly. When Golda will die ? It was next question. Will Golda die ? How Golda die? It was big question. Then royal servant broke the news that some of the hostages or prisoners have become conscious and are trying to run way. Golda moved towards the prison. Sir, five-six persons have escaped. Soldier said You spray high quality anesthesia in the prison. Golda said and moved towards the prisoners. Nova wanted to throw the bottle of poison in the river to eliminate all traces of crime Looking at the movement of prisoners and Golda , she hid herself in the bushes. Now poison was showing its affect, he grew weak in scuffle prisoner pushed them aside. He fell in the river. Nova jumped in river to save him but he was dead. xxxxxxx Scene 13 On the Shinland xxxxxxxx It is unbelievable that General Golda died. King Crown said with grief He was overjoyed with heroic feat, drank, unfortunately have scuffle with 8-10 people on the banks and slipped into river and died. I want 10,000 more persons in the prison. King Crown said

11

Sir may I request you that this time I will also go on attack. Nova sought OK I can allow you to make for few hours. Now you are my close confidential aide. King Crown said xxxxxx Scene 14 Shinland and Earth xxxxxxx Nova took military training for few days. Again a fleet of 10 Speedos was there. Are you ready to go? Then let us get in. Brigadier Barbola said Nova entered Speedo Helieo. Brigadier Barbola gave signal for all Speedo Helios to fly. We are above the city of Salico ( it is the city where Nova lived) but today we will go to different city. Babola said No I know this city, it is densely populated . We can have ours preys here. Please Stop here , I will help you lot . Nova said All right as you please. Lower Speedo Helieo and fire anesthesia capsules towards town. Then anesthesia capsules were fired and soldiers went out of Speedos and started collecting unconscious people. Nova also went down, move toward Nelsons house and met him there. How are you? Where you were? How did you come? I have no much time . Listen carefully what I say. Due to excessive nuclear radiations, their land is barren and ladies are infertile. When they eat human flesh, it absorbs the harmful nuclear radiations. Human bones and skulls absorb the radiations in the field. It gives high yield of crop. So their both problems are solved. Hence they attack, capture, kill and eat us. For then humans are like medicines. Nova said We can help them by preparing radiation sources which may absorb disastrous nuclear radiations emitted by their land. Thus land can become fertile. The medicines which absorbs the nuclear radiations can be prepared so that child birth frequently starts. They only wish to get rid of two problems. Take them these are radioactive samples of the rocks. I will start working with my group. Thank you .Currently I am in very good books of King Crown and waiting for right time to strike. Take this instrument you can talk me with this, whenever you need. Time is less I am to go. Take care. Best of luck I am going away from you to meet you very soon. Nova said and went in to the Speedo Halieo. Thousand of unconscious human were put in Speedo Helios. Soon Speedo flew. Should we drop a nuclear bomb? Brigadier Barbola asked No why should we. Our job is smoothly done we have roughly 8000 preys. We should not cut the hen for many eggs at a time, we may not even get one.

12

xxxxxx Scene 15 On the Earth xxxxxx Shabola , here are some samples of rock which are radioactive . Can we find out a method to neutralize the radiations. Nelson said Why not our anti-radiations cell will do the needful. Soon I will let you know. Shobala said Okay, then you also prepare sample sources, which will emit radiation to nullify the effect of radiations . These are samples of two stones which are emitting radiations. Nelson said We have already studies radiation of fireflies and duplicated the same radiations. But here the requirement is anti-radiations. Nelson said xxxxxxxx Scene 16 Shinland xxxxxxx Nova I wish to discuss a personal and secret matter with you. General Barbola said Yes , why not? Should we kill King Crown . I will be king and you a Prime Minister. General Barbola said No , No, never talk like this with me . Nova said Why? General Barbola said. I owe my life to him. Nova said. Well done Nova , I wanted to test you. King Crown said as he came from behind the curtain In next attack we will go together to see your land. King Crown said Sir, as you please. Nova said Then Nova said message to Nelson that King Crown is coming with her one day to attack. Nelson responded .I will take care tell me date of attack in advance as far as possible. xxxxxx Scene 17 Shinland and Earth xxxxxxxxx Speedo Helieo flew as in previous cases. After some time they reached destination. Stop we have to land here. Nova said Anesthesia capsules were fired. Kind Crown with his 10 bodyguards came out. Nova was leading the way. They reached at Nelsons Garden He is King Crown and he is Dr Nelson. Nova introduced Put down the weapons they are inactive here. Nelson said How it is so they are inactive. Soldiers were surprised. We have discovered a radioactive material which emits the radiations which deactivated the semiconductor used in you weapons and electronic gadgets. How did you develop them? King Crown said With help of fireflies . The radiations emitted by fireflies deactivated your devices. We produced similar radiations . Thus all your electronic gadgets must be inactive now. None of the soldier should try to touch any single person from out city. Nova said

13

It is really strange. It is really strange. Now what will happen our civilization will be extinct King Crown was worried. No your civilization will survive. Nelson said How? King Crown asked There are 10,000 small but strong radioactive sources. It can protect from harmful radiation up to a large distance. Put one sources in the fields . It will emit radiations which will neutralize the nuclear radiation emitted by soil. Thus crops will grew as usual , you need not to starve. Nelson said But our population is decreasing. How birth rate will improve? King Crown was worried Here are 60 boxes of capsules, give each to man and woman. One dose is enough for whole life. The effect of disastrous nuclear radiations will be diminished completely. Each couple will be blessed with healthy children. Nelson said How you prepared all this. How did you prepare small nuclear reactors emitting such disastrous radiations. You misused your brain while applying to Nuclear Energy. We used our brain while applying to nuclear energy. In our country there is no nuclear reactor. We are using the nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. Thank you Nelson. Thank you Nova we will act as you have said. Kindly allow us to go now King Crown said . Speedo Helieos flew away. One day Speedo Helieo landed on the Salico after some time. With your medicines and devise our country is again a prosperous country. Please come with us we want to honor you. King Crown said That right. Nelson and Nova were honored at Shinland Make Nuclear Energy A Slave Not Master.
