The planet Nectar could be seen moving towards earth

millions of miles away. In other words, Nectar was in

our neighborhood like a lawless entity that didn’t give a

damn about earth. Calculations had the planet passing by

within a hundred miles of Earth where the atmospheres of

the two planets would merge in the upper stratosphere. The

Russian satellite MarxC brought back soil samples in 2013,

and Dr. Shoshutzin, being the most respected interstellar

scientist in Russia, analyzed them. As it turned out, Nectar

was a miraculous planet providing the microorganisms

needed to spark the precious Green Gem to life. However,

he only let the Russian Federal Science Society know about

the bacteria that verified life on the planet. He found a mysterious

substance that appeared to be a powerful force in the

process of creating life, but he needed time to analyze it. He

had reason not to reveal his discovery to his government—

the Russian government had one of the worst records on

fossil fuel abuse in the world. He also didn’t like the fact

that President Bledlutzin had moved his country to an authoritative

regime very similar to the era of the old Soviet

Union and he pulled Kazakhstan back under Russia’s domain

in 2023. The government wanted to keep Dr. Shoshutzinbusy. He had completed the stealth research that

Russia had long desired. No, he did not give them the perfect

design, although the material had the best qualities for

Stealth yet invented. He’d included a hybrid blend fabric on

the Stealth Project that could only be detected by an atomic

receiver on the Island of Hawaii; the forgotten state. Even

Russia paid little attention to the beautiful chain of islands.

China had leased Hawaii for fifty years as the United States

struggled to overcome the massive debt left by the first

Thornbush administration.

In 2015, using the soil samples from the planet Nectar,

and extracting mitochondria from the cells, Dr. Shoshutzin

discovered what he affectionately named, ‘Sparks’, the active

ignition fire for all life, the mitochondria, or power centers,

in these cells were hundreds of times more energized

than the ones on Earth. He was certain Sparks would transform

the history of the world. Sparks, he soon learned,

jump-started dormant plant seeds. No planting, no water

necessary when he implanted the energizer from Spark’s

cells, the seeds burst into their growing process forming

mature plants within hours. He grew tomatoes, cucumbers,

and bell peppers. He injected one cell of Sparks at 09:00,

and by 14:00, he harvested delicious vegetables. Over the

next ten years, he tested and retested a maze of scientific

probability until 2023, when he sent his equation through a

network of computers filled with more ‘intelligence’ than

one man could gather in ten lifetimes. After five hours, a

new equation appeared on the screen, an equation only he

could understand because he held the key to the solution.

He touched the screen and a hologram appeared on his desk.

He developed the core substance for Green Gem, the substance

that would generate photosynthesis capable particles.

Green Gem particles would reduce tremendous amounts of

CO2 when released. Dr. Shoshutzin spent countless hours

going over his calculations. He needed to launch the Green

Gem by 18:00 on December 15, 2025 to get the maximum

Spark dynamic, to have the highest probability for success.

At this time, the Planet Nectar would be closest to earth,

and provide an added boost to the Green Gem. Dr. Shoshutzin

considered this phenomenon like a bonus in his favor.

Even in 2012 when the Hopi Elder, Tall Bear, spoke at

the UN Earth Conference about the fragile state of life on

Earth, Dr. Shoshutzin knew he spoke the truth. Only a miracle

could counter the carnage from the overuse of fossil fuels,

or Fossil Fire Effect. FFE would someday result in

catastrophic natural events that had a high probability of

ending humankind’s era on Earth. However, Dr. Shoshutzin

intended to reverse the FFE in time to save the planet. He

diligently worked on what became his obsession: creating

the Green Gem. He reasoned, if ‘Sparks’ jolted life on Nectar,

it would here on earth as well. Well, it had indeed, he

reflected. The bacteria had been evolving for millions of

life Principle, the need to thrive. Of course, he thought,

pouring a jigger of Cognac and continued reasoning, the

sense, Dr. Shoshutzin surmised as he looked out his apartment

window and saw a man and woman, arm in arm,

slowly walking through the snow and two children across

the street making a snowman.
