CHAPTER IV: Rain of Healing

Now that the serum has been found and the scientists have been busy producing the serum, everyone is getting excited about when the serum will be sent to Earth to heal the other humans and humanoids that have been affected. The serum has been placed in vials ready for transport. All they need to do now is to send the serum to Earth. "Everything is in our hands," says Grace.

How are they going to send it to Earth so that they will get the serum? The scientists wanted to invent another kind of spaceship that can be a carrier for the vials. They are thinking about what kind of design it should be and what kind of features it should have. This made the scientists have some disagreements.

Some say that creating this machine does not guarantee that everyone on Earth will be healed. Some scientists mentioned that this machine will be able to know if there are humans or humanoids within 100 radii. With this disagreement, the creation of the machine to deliver the serum has been put on hold.

They decided to focus on the production of the serum until they have created a lot to cover every person left on Earth. The production went faster until they created a lot that they even joke around that the serum can be poured on Earth, like pouring water. At first, they were joking around about pouring the serum on Earth just like usual until one of the scientists said, "Why not?"

With this small question, everyone became interested in this process of pouring the serum on Earth. They tried to think of ideas on how they can pour the serum on Earth to help the humans and the humanoids. They worked their brains so hard. Until one day, someone thought, "Why haven't we thought about making it rain? In this manner, the serum will be distributed to everyone and we won't have to create a machine to give them a vial one by one. "

After thinking of many ways to heal people without reaching the Earth again, the scientists conducted another research on how they will make it rain and how they will add the serum to heal the humans and humanoids. After a lot of deliberation among the scientists, they managed to decide how they would make it rain using the serum.

They decided to use cloud seeding. Cloud seeding is used by farmers to enhance rainfall so that there will be an increase in water for watering the crops. The scientists decided to apply this method to heal the Earth.

Once it had been finalized, they performed another experiment. This time the experiments leaned on integrating the serum into the process of creating rain. How are they going to integrate the serum? Will the cloud seeding be successful?

They decided to integrate the serum on the silver iodide and see if there will be any changes. Once they saw that there is none, the scientists decided to do testing. They looked for a place on Earth that is not populated. Then when the date of testing was finalized, they released a silver iodide with serum on Earth.

While cloud seeding is in process, scientists watch as they take note of what is the effect of the serum. They noticed that, unlike the serum that has been injected directly, it would take a long time before humans and humanoids will be healed in this process. The scientists still decided that this is the best solution.

With this successful testing, everyone is very happy. They are also thankful for the cure. It may take some time to cure everyone with this process but they are willing to wait. This gives them hope that they will be able to cure the infected on Earth.

Since the scientists discovered that it will take some time to fully heal the humans and humanoids left on Earth they decided to produce more serum. Every day they release a batch of serum for cloud seeding. Every day they watch as this process pours serum on Earth that helps in healing.

The humans and humanoids who were left behind on Earth didn't notice the changes immediately. At first, they were irritated, angry, or sad because it has been raining nonstop for a few days now. The rain makes it hard for them to go out of the house and work or look for a living. But after a few days of being exposed to the rain, they noticed that there have been some changes happening.

It started with little changes like their eyes are starting to go back to their normal look, others can feel that something is changing in their bodies inside. When they realized that the rain is helping them, they decided to stay under the rain for some time every day to keep the changes on their body to continue. Little by little, humans and humanoids are getting healed. Little by little, the Earth is getting healed.

Everyone in the future will know this as the Rain of Healing. Everyone will make this phenomenon known to their future generation. They will record the date when the Rain of Healing started.

But for now, let's stay at the present. Everyone is happy about the healing brought about by the rain. They can see that not only the rain can heal them, they also noticed that even the land is starting to recover. They can see the plants starting to sprout new leaves.

Humans and humanoids can see the progress little by little from where they are in space. They are very happy with the positive result happening on Earth. They can see that this positivity gives hope that everything will be fine.

While humans and some humanoids are happy about the result, the same cannot be said for the remaining humanoids. They thought that this progress was a big problem for them. This will be a big problem for their plans.

"We need to do something. This will bring us to extinction," one of the humanoids said. Almost everyone agreed with this statement. This will put them at a disadvantage.

"We need to create a distraction," another humanoid said. "We need to destroy the serum." With these words, the humanoids began to discuss what kind of action they should do to destroy the serum. This continued for how many days.

After a few days, it was decided that they would mess with the serum's formula. They decide who will do the deed. After the discussion, it was decided that it was better to mess with the serum when fewer scientists are staying at the research laboratory.

They did a thorough investigation on everything to make the serum's destruction absolute. They had lookouts to track the come and go of the people inside the research laboratory. They took notice of when guards' shifting occurred.

They also check who remains at a specific time and how many scientists are there in the research laboratory on said time. With these specific details noted, they proceeded with their plans to destroy the serum. They decided to act on the next day when everyone is very busy and they won't be noticed.

While everyone was unaware, they decided to strike. After they struck, they kept a low profile. Everyone continued their everyday routine as if nothing happened.

What the humanoids didn't know is that their plan has been leaked. One of the humanoids was a spy. He recorded everything that was discussed in their meeting. After the discussion concluded, the details were passed along to the higher-ups.

When the humans and the humanoids who were working at the research laboratory learned of this discussion, they decided to scheme against them. They brainstormed for a few days while the other humanoids were spying. They saw that the other humanoids were checking and taking note of the people in the research laboratory.

While discussing how to counter-attack, the higher-ups decided to only pick a few humans and humanoids to be present in the discussion. They decided to keep the silent war between the two factions. The silent war was unnoticed by the unaware public.

The selected humans and humanoids kept their discussion very private. They are very tight-lipped. They proceeded with their plans without letting the other faction know that they have been betrayed by one of their own.

On the agreed date of the destruction of the serum, the humanoids proceeded to mess with the serum inside the research laboratory. After messing with the serum, the other faction proceeded to do their counter. They prepared everything that will make the counter process go smoothly.

The serum that the other faction messed up is the first sample of serum that was created. They kept all the final serum that they are using for cloud seeding. The scientists decided to use the messed-up serum for cloud seeding. They fired this serum in a place where there are no living things present to keep the other faction believing that they succeeded.

They continued doing this for a few weeks and then they returned to using the final serum once they were assured that the other faction did not suspect anything. The other faction celebrated silently seeing that their plan had succeeded. They were so happy that they did not even see that something was amiss.

After making sure that the other factions have not noticed anything, they continue using the final serum. This continued for a few weeks until one day, "Why does it seem like instead of getting worse, the Earth is getting better?"

With this question, the humanoids were shocked. It seems like something went wrong. They don't know where they went wrong. Their plan was foolproof.

While the humanoids are trying to absorb the fact that their plan failed, the other faction is celebrating because a huge area on Earth has been improving. They may need to produce the serum for a bit more but they can see the improvement. All they need is to continue the production until all the Earth has been covered. They would also keep some serum for emergencies.

With this progress, some were happy and some were angry. The humanoid faction was angry that their plan failed. So what they did is they created problems for their actions like destroying equipment, messing with the other factions. The other faction has adapted to these problems and adjusted easily.

They repaired or replaced the equipment that had been messed up or destroyed by the other faction. While the silent war is ongoing, the faction consists of humans, and humanoids are preparing to go back to Earth. They are excited that they'll be going back home.

While everyone is getting ready to go home, the people on Earth are also hoping that the people who went to space will now come back. They have missed their friends and family who were one of those who entered the spaceship and went to space.

The healing rain continued to pour on Earth every 2-3 days to keep healing the infected. They can see the improvements happening. They were hoping for a good future.

But contrary to their beliefs, even if the rain can heal the humans and humanoids living on Earth, the resources have been affected by the two serums. The humans and humanoids on Earth noticed that the plants and trees are having some abnormalities. They can't put a finger on it.

After a few more weeks they managed to notice that the plants, the trees, and even the livestock are starting to lessen. The people started to worry about what was happening. The people started to gather resources that they can find.

While this is happening, the people on the spaceship are continuing their preparations for their return to Earth. The humanoids haven't done anything that can cause irreparable damage. They still work with the other faction even if they are having a silent war.

They are still willing to help where they are needed. But the two factions know that a time will come when this alliance will end and they will go their separate ways. They don't know when it will be but they know that it will happen sooner than later.

As it happens, scientists are now starting to notice the problem going on Earth. They were shocked that there was something negative happening on Earth after their success in creating the final serum. They don't know what happened for the Earth to experience another hardship.

They were so sure that everything should be going smoothly. They are trying to figure out why this happened. The scientists reviewed their notes about the serum but as they can see, nothing is wrong with the final serum.

Until one day they remembered about the messed-up serum that they fired off. When they learn about this problem, they don't know how they are going to solve this problem. They need to know how to solve this problem.

Luckily they managed to keep a box of the messed-up serum. They started breaking the structure of the messed-up serum. They don't know what kind of materials were added.

It would take them a long time to break the formula of the messed-up serum. They were having a hard time creating an antidote. They have to do a lot of experimenting. They have to find the exact materials that messed up the serum.

With the problem arising one after another, the scientists are having problems solving each problem. As much as they want to solve everything in the shortest time possible, they can't. They needed time and resources that are starting to lessen.

They started focusing on breaking the formula. It is very difficult to find the right formula. With all the foreign materials added, it was difficult to find the right formula.

The passengers inside the spaceship were disappointed to hear this. The passengers were sad but they understand that they have to wait for a bit more time to go back home. As for the other faction, they were glad of this incident. They are very happy with this unexpected situation.

This gives them hope that they will be able to overcome the other faction. They were ecstatic that the other faction is facing this kind of problem. They decided to proceed with their previous discussion. They were positive that they will succeed in the future.

Both factions are busy with their discussions for the future. One side is busy breaking the formula of the messed-up serum to create an antidote. The other side is busy discussing how they could take over the other faction. Both sides are hoping for a good future for their factions.

With the added problem of resources lacking, they strive to plan for a better future for their people. Hoping that they can provide a better way of living and provide better solutions to their problems.
