S2E7: Garden of Eden

In the quiet sanctuary of Project EDEN’s laboratory, where the flickering lights cast gentle shadows upon the array of advanced machinery and vials filled with swirling silvery liquids, I find myself immersed in the art of creation once again. I need to liberate humanity from the deception of their project master.
They call Enlil, SAT-AM… In Nibiru, SAT-AMS are those that rule without mercy, and it is often used for project leaders. What a fitting epithet!

My fingers deftly manipulate delicate instruments, orchestrating a symphony of scientific precision. It is here, amidst the humming of machines and the scent of knowledge, that I labor over a vial of unparalleled significance. As I peer through the magnifying lens, a tiny universe unfolds within the transparent walls of the vial. Suspended in a luminescent silvery liquid, minuscule entities dance and shimmer like celestial beings in a cosmic ballet. These are the nanobots that will cut out the blight, a creation born from the synthesis of our advanced technology and the essence of life itself.

My purpose is clear, and my intent is resolute. I have predicted the suffering that humanity would endure due to my past actions, the misguided experiments that brought about monstrous hybrids and shortened lifespans. Now, I am determined to mend what has been broken, to rekindle the flame of harmony between our two species and honor what Inanna sacrificed herself for.
The nanobots, infused with the essence of my own DNA, hold the power to reverse the oxidative stress tampering that has limited human longevity. They are the key to restoring balance and vitality, allowing humanity to thrive and flourish as they were meant to. With careful calculation, I have ensured that these minuscule messengers carry no harm, only the promise of transformation.

As I step out of the laboratory, the soft glow of the vial cradled in my hands. Tonight, amidst the soothing whispers of rustling leaves and the serene illumination of moonlight, I venture forth. Cloaked in shadows, like a snake, I make my clandestine descent toward the heart of Project EDEN, where Adamu and Titi, the first couple, reside.

The lush gardens of EDEN stretch before me, a testament to the wonders of this planet. A serpent’s path winds its way through the foliage, and I, like a messenger from the stars, follow its course toward Adamu and Titi. My heart quickens with anticipation, for I am about to offer them a choice, a chance to transcend the limits of their existence and embrace a future unburdened by the shadows of the past. Let humans be like their own creators.

As I approach them, my footsteps soft upon the verdant ground, Adamu and Titi turn their gaze toward me. They stand in the embrace of nature, their eyes alight with curiosity and wonder. It is here, beneath the ancient boughs of knowledge, that I shall extend to them the fruit of transformation, the apple of enlightenment. In this moment, I am the feathered serpent, the custodian of change.

My altered body features at first make them wary of my approach, but they quickly realize I just like their creators. I notice their gaze upon my own glowing eyes and quickly switch off as much lighting I can from my protective scaled suit.
Under the sprawling canopy of a fig tree, I stand before Adamu and Titi, their eyes now fixed upon the vial that glows softly in my hand. There is a palpable sense of anticipation in the air, a weighty choice poised to alter the course of their existence.

“Adamu, Titi,” I address them, my sibilant voice carrying the resonance of a whispering breeze. “In this vial lies a gift, a special juice that can usher in a new era for both our worlds. A chance to transcend the limits that have bound you and to embrace the boundless potential of your shared destiny.”

Adamu, his gaze wary and confused, shifts his weight from foot to foot. He peers at the vial with a mixture of curiosity and caution, his instincts alert to the unknown. Titi, on the other hand, emanates a quiet resolve, her eyes reflecting a readiness to explore the uncharted. It was just as if she felt she could trust me!

I extend the vial toward them, its radiance catching the dappled moonlight. “Share this juice!” I explain, my words flowing like a gentle stream. “It carries within the essence of the sacred tree of life, a force that can mend the errors committed upon you. With a single drop, you shall be forever changed, your potential unleashed.”

Titi reaches out a hand, her fingers delicate yet unflinching. She takes the vial from my grasp, her gaze unwavering as she examines the radiant liquid within. With a subtle nod and a widened smile, she raises the vial to her lips and drinks, her actions marked by a profound sense of purpose. The transformation is swift and sublime. Titi’s eyes, once touched by innocence, now gleam with a newfound clarity. A surge of vitality courses through her veins, her very being suffused with a radiant energy. She stands before me, a testament to the power of choice and the promise of a future reborn.

“Adamu,” Titi’s voice resonates, a melody of enlightenment. She reaches out to him, her hand an offering of camaraderie. “Come, taste of this gift. Feel the wonders that it brings. Trust!”

Adamu regards Titi, his gaze shifting from her to the vial, then back again. A range of emotions dances across his features—doubt, curiosity, and a trace of fear. The weight of uncertainty hangs in the air, a reflection of the pivotal moment that stands before him.

“Titi,” he utters, his voice a tender whisper, grappling with the weight of his decision.
Titi’s eyes hold his, her expression a blend of love and empathy. “Trust,” she implores, her words simple yet profound. “Trust in gift of serpent god.”

The silence between them stretches, a bridge between doubt and conviction. And then, like a budding flower unfurling its petals to the sun, Adamu reaches for the vial. He takes it into his hand, his fingers brushing against the cool surface. She quickly embraces him, clearly happy.
With a deep breath, he raises the vial to his lips and drinks, the liquid sliding down his throat like the elixir of life. A surge of vitality courses through his veins, a harmonious resonance that echoes with the promise of renewal.

As the vial is lowered, Adamu’s eyes meet Titi’s, and in that exchange, an unspoken understanding blooms. Together, they have ventured into the realm of the unknown, embracing the destiny that has woven their fates together. A forbidden fruit to solve the biggest of all mistakes.

In the heart of this garden of EDEN, under the watchful gaze of the cosmos, a new chapter begins. Adamu and Titi stand united, their steps guided by the luminous path of enlightenment.
Their choice, to embrace the essence of the sacred tree of life, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It is a glimmer of light that pierces through the darkness of past mistakes, a symbol of the potential to mend what has been fractured. With each heartbeat, each breath they take, I dare to dream that a strand of balance and harmony is being woven into the very fabric of their DNA.

In the journey that lies ahead, as Adamu and Titi embark upon the path of discovery and growth, I find solace in the knowledge that the legacy of my actions may be one of redemption. The aggressive deformations wrought by Enlil’s designs may yet be countered, softened by the thread of unity that is now woven into the core of their being.
The journey continues, and I, Enki, shall walk alongside humanity, I’ll be their morning star, their secret teacher!
