governor, he made a deal with Virtual-world™, the pioneer gaming company, to produce a shared helmet that had better brain signal detectors and could be used by the clients of both companies, Tek-Brains and Virtual-world™. Kogar claimed to have found shocking evidence that Virtual-world™ and possibly TNARK were trying to control the minds of their users through their suspicious equipment.
Virtual-world™ was an offshoot of the bigger TNARK project, when a user put on the helmet he would enter into a huge online multiplayer universe that had over a million other users. The helmet acted as a brain signal detector, the gamer used his/her mind to send commands to control the online game without using any controllers. As a side project, the helmet also collected brain data from the users anonymously and provided this information to neuroscientists. The data would then be analyzed to understand how the human brain works, and this ultimately would help to advance the TNARK project.
During the meeting, Kogar showed Mark the newly designed helmets, the product of his deal with the Virtual-world™ company. There were 120 diodes emitting blue light all over the helmet. Kogar claimed that he didn’t know the purpose of these small blue lights because for him these light emitters were separate and different from the normal 120 sensors that he used as brain signal recorders for his social website, zanzor.com. Kogar told Mark that brain sensors didn’t need to emit any light to record brain signals, so someone working for TNARK or Virtual-world™ company must be up to something suspicious. Hence, Kogar urged Mark to investigate the matter further.
When Mark began his investigation, it turned out that the designers and engineers working for Virtual-world™ didn’t want to share everything with him! The company’s manager simply told Mark that the purpose of the blue lights on the outer surface of the helmet was just for aesthetics, mainly to make the helmet look more beautiful and technical! Mark didn’t believe them. He urged Interpol to issue a ‘Red light’ and a formal letter to them so that the managers of TNARK and Virtual-world™ company would comply and reveal some of their classified documents to Mark. Meanwhile, he had also started to look online for topics related to mind control. Accidentally, he came across some articles and blogs written by a theologian named Hast about Abrahamic faith prophecies of the end-days and about mind control too!
Mark soon realized that there were a lot of similarities between what he was looking for and the prophecies of Abrahamic faith which claimed that the Antichrist would appear in the end-days trying to play God and control the minds of people. That moment, Mark decided to meet Hast in person and ask him more about the details of Abrahamic faith prophecies.

When Mark met Hast at a local coffee shop in Erbil City, he tried to explain the purpose of his meeting to Hast.
“Mr. Hast you may wonder why I wanted to meet you,” he said.
“Please just call me Hast, and yes I’m very curious to find out why an Interpol agent wanted to meet with me,” Hast said. “I don’t recall doing anything outside of the law. Has someone I know done something bad?”
“No, not at all,” Mark said. “Actually, I just wanted your expertise and advice in regard to something. I hope you don’t mind helping me.”
Hast thought there was a mistake. “I studied theology, so how can this expertise be useful to Interpol?” he wondered.
“I know,” Mark said. “I have read your profile and checked your resume and records. You have an impressive knowledge about the history of religions, especially Abrahamic faiths. I have also read some of your online articles and blogs about the end-days and the rise of the Antichrist. I wanted to ask you more about that if you don’t mind.”
