Elliot: This seems familiar; I have seen this number somewhere.

Tada: Ohh yeah, this is the Motherboard Version number of our city.

Elliot:(in shock) This can’t be… It is the model number of the Afghanistan government
system that I hacked into last week. I created those viruses to extract the data from their
server and display it on the U.S. military systems.

Elliot sits down in shock with tears in his eyes.
Elliot: I had no clue that I would be destroying worlds by hacking into systems. What have I
done? How could I not see it?

Tada: You were not aware that you were destroying a universe when you sent viruses to this
system, you were doing what you were told to do by your superiors, you were doing your
duty. Don’t beat yourself over this, you had no control over it, if it were not you, it could have
been some other hacker. Whatever happened here was meant to be.

Tada looks at the pendant with his wife’s photo in it

Tada: I have come at peace with the truth, it will be better if you do too.

Elliot nods and uploads the file on the CPU unit
A bright blinding light shines and wipes out all the viruses. Only Elliot and Tada are left in
the city.

Elliot: There is nothing left here for you now. It’s all my fault, come with me, you can live
with me in my system.

Tada: Sure, that sounds like fun. Let’s go.

Elliot adjusts the dials on his teleporter.

END.
