Ch-3 : World under underworld (Novel Zero)

A small bungalow was nestled in a lavish colony. A car came by and stopped. A man wearing black goggle, must be around 25, got down and entered the premises. While reaching the door he was having a look at the poorly nurtured garden around. As he reached the door for a moment he glanced at his car and pressed the doorbell. Waiting for the door to open he had a look around at other wealthy houses in the colony. It was taking time to open the door, so he ambled around. He stopped suddenly, taking a stance to enter inside, as if got a hunch of somebody opening the door. Door opened, a man of almost his age stood in the door, gave him a way to come inside. He entered the house, no formalities, not a vocal nor expressional. As soon as the one standing outside entered, the door closed. It was easy to guess from their build, clothing, and complexion that definitely they were not of American origin. Both of them walked towards the cellar, which was not evident from the house structure that it could have cellar inside. The one came from outside, Command2 asked " Any message from Boss?"
" Not yet.. What to do and when to do depends on the auspicity of the time, the boss chooses" Command1 said.
Command2 smiled ridiculously, "You know...One is free to have their own craze"
" Command2, if you want to work with us, you should get tuned with the way we work... here everything is measured and precalculated" Command1 was seemed to have disliked the comment, was not expected by Command2. Command2 simply looked at him plainly, not sure how to react.
" Whatever boss works on he knows its results in advance" Command1 said.
They reached the dark cellar, in the middle of which was computer kept on a table. They stood in front of the computer. Command1 switched on the computer, sitting on a chair in front of the computer. Command2 sat beside him pulling a wheeled stool. Computer was going through the checklist before loading OS Linux.
" You know... Why I use Linux?
Command2 shook his head in ignorance.
" Almost all the software for which the source code is not provided to the customers, who write them?"
"Companies?"
"I mean which companies?"
"American" Command2 answered.
" Also you must be aware that software for which the source code is provided to the customers are called open source software... that means the customers can know from the source code, what exactly is going on in their software... And the software with which the source code is not provided.... there can happen many things in it, which are not supposed to be..."
Command2 looked at Command1 in confusion.
"I hope you are understanding what I mean?"
"No...I mean..." Command2 said.
" You also must be aware that once Microsoft had declared that they are going to use some tags in Windows OS"
"Yes I know"
" They were planning to do this to countercheck their competitors... because of those tags Microsoft would have made sure that the program they want would only work properly and the other programs either work dam slowly or would not work properly at all" Command1 said.
"But how it is concerned with using Linux?" Command2 could not wait asking.
" Yes it is concerned... very much concerned... look... if to countercheck their compotators they can use such tags... it is also possible that they could have planted such tags in their software and hardware so that all the important information all over the world would reach them through Internet.... Activities of us and allies could also be included in it... particularly after 9/11 it had became very important for them" Command1 said looking at Command2, checking his expression to know whether he understood or not.
" Yes you are right... It can happen..." Command2 expressed his opinion.
" Therefore you know ... what I did?... I compiled the Linux code and then installed it in my computer... we need to take all possible precautions..." Command1 was telling.
In his every word his ego and supremacy was evident.
'' You don't know the whole thing about this America... Its their ultimate goal to rule the whole world ... and to achieve it they can go to any level...'' Command1 said.
Command2 was looking at Command1 in disbelief.
" When did the human register their first presence on the moon? ... You must have learnt in the school.. " Command1 unexpectedly asked him.
" Neil Armstrong registered his first presence on moon in 1969 through the American satellite..." Command2 answered quickly like a schoolboy.
" Every school boy is been spoon fed with the same information... but did anybody doubted this... In the video clip shown on the TV then , everybody could have clearly observed that the American flag was flying on the moon... if there is no air on the moon how could a flag can fly... the shadows of the
astronauts ... changed position of the satellite in different photos... there are so many such evidences which show that American satellite never reached the moon" Command1 was talking in rage.
" What are you talking?... that means everything was fraud"
" Yes it was fraud.. .a big fraud... not only this the photographs taken through satellites then, shows the clear picture of the set they made for the shooting of this whole fraud movie, must be little over budgeted than some big budget Hollywood movie"
" But why should they involve in such a risky fraud?" Command2 asked.
" Yes your doubt is correct ... Why should they involve in such a big and risky fraud?... When America had declared their success in reaching the moon... those times Russia was their closest rival ... To show the world that we are superior than Russia, they fabricated this fraud.... and they had succeed in it..." still Command1 was fuming.
" My God... that means they had fooled the whole world..." Command2 said in astonishment.
" America is walking the path, Britain had walked long back... Before World War-II Britain ruled the world... People used to say those times that the sun never set on their land...Now America is trying to do that... Only the difference is that Britain ruled the world directly but America wants to rule it indirectly and that is called 'Proxy ruling' ... Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, South Korea ... what are they doing there... proxy ruling them"
" Yes you are absolutely right" Command2 seemed to be convinced.
" And our key objective is to wipe out this American dominance" Command1 said fervently.
It was clearly visible from the Command2's face that he was totally impressed and influenced by Command1's justification. And Command1 was delighted to find that Command2 was completely brainwashed.
Suddenly there was a buzzer, a mail had came. Command1 opened the mailbox, it was boss.
" Who is this boss?'' Command2 curiously inquired.
“ Nobody knows except the Boss himself... And who is Boss it is not important ... We all are connected with a common thoughts and motive... And those motive and thoughts are important... Today Boss is live... tomorrow he may not be ... we have to make sure that his thoughts never die." Command1 was talking while opening the mail.
“ Hi” was the only word written in the mail. Something was attached with the mail. Command1 opened the attachment; it was Madonna's photograph in bold pose.
“ Boss sent this?” Command2 asked in surprise.
“ You are too new to know all this... For time being you should only understand that the tooth to bite are different than those to show...” Command1 said, smiling at the photograph.
Command1 swiftly pressed few keyboard buttons, a software opened. He double clicked Madonna's photograph, a blue bar started progressing ahead slowly. Command1 looked mysteriously at Command2.
"What are you doing ... Sa..."
Command1 at once closed Command2's mouth with his hand, " No Never do it again... You should never utter my name, not by chance too... You know even these dumb walls hear ... "
" I am so Sorry..." Command1 felt abashed.
" No sorries and no apologies here." Command1 said firmly.
By that time progress bar became complete blue.
" You know .. this is stegnography... its about hiding information behind the photograph... you can see only the photograph.. but lot many information can be hidden in the photograph" Command1 was explaining.
" But if the photo goes in wrong hands?" Command2 raised his doubt.
" The information can be extracted with this software only... and it requires password... this software is written by Boss himself... therefore there is no question of having it with others." Command1 tried to clear his doubt giving him appropriate details.
" What information is hidden in it?" Command2 asked curiously.
Suddenly a message, which was hidden in the photograph, popped up " Be ready for the next operation ... the time will be informed subsequently"
