Kabir asked Mahira, "Why don't we have lunch together today?" Mahira replied, "That's not a bad idea, I'll wait for you." And both of them smiled as they headed towards their respective offices. Kabir arrived at the lab and was surprised to see Sandeep lying on a chair with his legs stretched out, asleep. Kabir went to Sandeep, placed his hand on his shoulder, and started shaking him. Sandeep's eyes opened. Kabir said, "Good morning." Sandeep sat up straight and said, "Kabir, you're here." Kabir asked, "Were you here all night?" Sandeep replied, "Yeah, there was some work left. I was finishing that, and before I knew it, it was 2 AM." All the other colleagues had also arrived. Sandeep said, "Everyone's work ended by midnight. After that, they all went home."
Kabir thanked Sandeep and everyone. Sandeep jokingly said, "I didn't do this work for you, I did it for the overtime. I'll get that, right?" Kabir replied, "Of course, my life is ready for you, my friend." Sandeep asked, "What happened yesterday? Was your wife upset?" Kabir said, "Everything's fine now." The other colleagues were busy with their work in another part of the lab. Kabir went to them and said, "Good morning, guys." They all replied to his greeting. Just then, Venky came to Kabir and said, "Sir, everything is ready for today's experiment. We're just waiting to start." Sandeep also arrived. Kabir said, "We won't start the experiment until Mr. Kant arrives. Let me call Mr. Kant and check."
Kabir was about to call Mr. Kant when his phone rang. He checked the screen and saw that it was Mr. Kant calling. Kabir picked up the phone and said, "Good morning, Mr. Kant." Mr. Kant replied, "Good morning, Kabir." Kabir was about to ask, "Mr. Kant, where are you?" when Mr. Kant said, "Kabir, I'm calling because I have to go to Mars today, so I won't be able to come to the lab. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the experiment, but I trust you completely. If you need anything, do let me know or call my assistant, Pallavi." After saying this, Mr. Kant ended the call.
Kabir said, "Start preparing for the experiment because Mr. Kant won't be able to come today and might not be able to come for the next three to four months." Venky asked, "But why, sir?" Kabir replied, "Because Mr. Kant is going to Mars for an important task." Everyone got busy preparing for the experiment. All the machine switches were turned on, and the machine was checked. All the cameras, inside and outside the machine, were checked thoroughly. Everything was in order. After that, Venky placed a white rat inside the multiverse traveling machine and started the machine.
Soon, the machine disappeared from the lab. This time, the machine was set to disappear for thirty seconds. After thirty seconds, the machine returned to the same spot in the lab. Everything seemed fine. But this rat had made history; it became the first living being to travel through the multiverse. When the pictures taken by the cameras were reviewed and the data from this experiment was compared with the previous one, it revealed a completely different picture. The multiverse was different in each experiment.
Sandeep said, "I think our machine is working, there's no doubt about that. But the machine seems to be traveling randomly through different multiverses." Kabir said, "We can only find out by doing more experiments." Kabir then said, "Start the next experiment." Sandeep said, "So soon? There could be a risk." Kabir replied, "We don't have any other option but to find out how our machine is working."
The machine was started again for the next experiment. This time, it was sent into the multiverse for only ten seconds. The data from this experiment was completely different from the previous two. Kabir then started the machine for the next experiment, and this experiment was completely different from the previous three. In this way, many experiments were conducted. After reviewing the data, it became clear that the machine was traveling through different multiverses every time. Kabir closely examined the multiverse data and realized that, according to the data, the machine was indeed traveling randomly through different multiverses.
Venky said, "There's one thing that seems similar. In all the experiments we've done with the rat, a pattern keeps repeating. Even though the machine is traveling through different multiverses each time." Kabir compared the pattern with each experiment, and Venky was right. Kabir said, "We'll do the next experiment with a cat." The next few experiments were conducted on a cat. A new pattern emerged with the cat, but the machine was still traveling through different multiverses.
The next experiment was done with a dog, and a different kind of pattern was observed, but again, the machine traveled to a different multiverse each time. Similar experiments were repeated with different birds and animals, and the results were the same. Whenever an experiment was conducted with any animal or bird, a certain pattern emerged, and the machine was traveling randomly through different multiverses.
Kabir said, "This means the machine is traveling through the multiverse, but it somehow connects with the mind or body of the traveler." Sandeep asked, "What do you mean?" Kabir replied, "Maybe it's traveling through the multiverse that matches the kind of world the traveler desires, or the multiverse where the traveler's species is more abundant. And there can be infinite possibilities of different types of multiverses."
Sandeep asked, "If we look at it like this, how many times would we have to travel to reach a preferred multiverse?" Kabir said, "Maybe infinitely, or maybe on the first try." Sandeep said, "But according to the data, we can't go back to the same multiverse we visited before."
Kabir said, "If we try to go to a multiverse randomly like this, we would have to pass through countless multiverses. And even if we find a preferred multiverse, it's uncertain whether we could go back to it." Venky said, "This is quite confusing." Kabir said, "It is a bit confusing, but I might have a solution." Sandeep asked, "What is it?" Kabir took out his phone and started calling Veer.
