Untitled – Part 1: The Invention of the Time Trek

The year is 2152. The planet Earth is suffering from inhospitable conditions. The beautiful blue planet which once supported life, is now hot and dry. Humans have migrated to various other planets. What once used to be cities and countries on a single planet are now multiple planets and universe in a galaxy. Humans using the technology of anti matter plasma have been able to conquer the depths of space, found allies in Vulcans and have domineered majestically over the Milky Way galaxy.



Time travel has become a typical phenomenon, why not when travelling at light speed is a must to conquer the extremities of the universe. They call it Time Trek! Humankind now has the knowledge and technology to mutate their DNA and practically stop the aging process of the body. Also using the stem cell augmentation, the muscle tissues and sensory organs have become mighty powerful. The prototype human-vulcan is being considered, a hybrid definitive concoction of the two DNAs. Let’s go back to how everything started.


Hundreds of years ago when earth was still hospitable, there was a person called Mr. K. He was exceptionally bright and incredibly prevailing. By profession he was an expert in space information and technology. Founder of KSRC (K Space Research Center), he was administering infrastructure maintenance of the spaceships and also head of the research team.

Once he was on bench as there was recession and there was not much work to do. He used to get up at 10:00AM GMT (Galactic Mean Time). Catch the 12:30 bus to office. Life was good, until the day he found himself in front of him.

One day after getting up at 10AM, he went down to the nearby shop to have cutting chai, vadapav and bread pattice for breakfast. He did not take his mobile or his watch as it was just 11AM and thought he cannot be late for the 12:30 bus. He had his breakfast and unaware about the time, he started to leave for home. The bus stop to KSRC was just next to the tea shop and he saw some other employees already waiting for the bus there.

How could this be possible? The time could no way have been later than 11:30 and the bus was supposed to come at 12:30. Something was wrong! The possibility of K having done time travel came to his mind. He was suspicious as well as excited.

While walking back home, he thought if he had actually done time travel. He pondered if he was in a parallel universe! There should have been another K standing at the bus stop, but that was not so. He reached his block and called for the space elevator. The elevator was going up from the 400th floor, it stopped on floor 740 and then was coming down. It was the same floor where K lived. When the elevator reached down and the door opened…was the moment two parallel universes collided….Time Trek was born!
