Part 1: Defeats 'N Achievements
Chapter 2: Bingo
Even before Rustcell finished his carefully crafted affirmation, Eincell, in all his dexterity, had already started wobbling and shaking in weird ways. Blue sparks were flying off sporadically from various parts of his house. Rustcell, all this while, kept calm but observed the routine keenly.
Rustcell and Eincell have been neighbours from the time Eincell was formed. Rustcell and Eincell's Mapa grew up together. 'He would have been proud to see Eincell' thought Rustcell from across the wall.
Suddenly Rustcell heard a "Boing!" from Eincell's compound .
"Mighto? Problem?" enquired Rustcell.
"No. Tap's fine, just a bit overcharged.", explained Eincell while coming close to the wall, where Rustcell stood leaning.
"Controllable?", he asked slightly irritated.
"I need the tap on hyper mode for this demonstration. So not to worry"
"Call it Mighto. not tap", scolded Rustcell.
"Alright. Alright. Anyways, meet this fella" and pulled out a tiny organelle, from behind him, "I call it Bingo."
Bingo was very small, like one of those ____. It was constantly vibrating ,so much so that it was difficult to spot it being still.
"This is our key to all the knowledge, ever learnt by our forefathers, the stories of our origin, the Achievements of the great ones, the defeats and the mistakes behind them. Its amazing that the key to all this immense wisdom is this little creature that i accidentally created while working on creating something to organize my house.", said Eincell smiling. He could see Rustcell tensing up more and he understood why Rustcell was worried.
"'Do Not Access' means what?", asked Rustcell rhetorically and angrily. The kind of anger which grown ups learn to fake to teach young ones a lesson.
Eincell continued smiling, " I always thought it was an invitation to come and have a look.", he said teasingly. " Why not start with 'Do Not Access' then " said Eincell.
Rustcell was alarmed yet pleased by this young cell's inquisitiveness. He had no idea about Bingo though and no idea what Eincell was going to show.
"Bingo! Do Not Access", commanded Eincell, addressing Bingo. Bingo, who seemed restless, instantly moved inside the house on hearing the command. And before Rustcell could think another thought , Bingo was back exactly in the place he stood a second before.
Then on Eincell's sign, started speaking.
"Do Not Access is a name given to the book of life and is common among young cells. Its true name is Defeats 'N Achievements (DNA). Young cells are not supposed to know its true name till they come of age, to avoid them accidentally, damaging or overwriting their only copy.
Since you are reading this page from the DNA itself , you probably know it is not called Do Not Access, and so let me write about Defeats 'N Achievements.
Defeats 'N Achievements (DNA) is a collection of all written record by the ancestors of a particular cell. It has been passed on through ages and through generations. Each cell has a unique copy of this book. Many pages and chapters are common across cells but some chapters written by immediate Mapas and their Mapas may be different even for neighbouring cells. It is said to contain all knowledge ever known, but it is so vast that it is impossible to read everything in a lifetime.
[edit by Eincell] I have made an orgenelle, named Bingo, which is capable of searching through the whole book and answer any question that you ask. I think when information is abound, probing it with relevant questions is the only way to get juice out of it.[/edit by Eincell]"
Bingo stopped speaking on Eincell's sign.
"Rustcell", said Eincell, " I present to you the key to all cell knowledge, but I need you to help me ask the right questions. I believe that right questions are the medium to move from a small pool of knowledge to an ocean of knowledge and beyond. I lack even the smallest pool to start off with and hence, I need your help"
"Bingo is trained to read from my copy of DNA, but I have structured it to accept commands from you too. Please feel free and take us on a ride on Bingo, dear Rustcell."
