the top. He stood in front of two beautifully carved and lacquered 15-foot by 11-foot double doors. Bellos stared at his strange outfit and asked, “Are we in old Rome?”
    “No; although the Vatican Swiss guard uniforms did have a similar pantaloon look. Except of course, we, on the other hand, keep up with our latest state of the art weaponry. You won’t see his kind of side arm anywhere on the surface, especially on the Vatican City Guards. It fires a simple burst of air that can knock you out up to fifty-yards away.”
    “Air?”
    “Yes, it’s technical.”
    They entered and the guard shut the doors.
    “This way Doctor; it’s late and we have a full schedule. I hope you slept on the plane. After we talk, you have to be processed, tested and remember quite a lot.”
    “You’re going to test me?”
    “Not the way you think, my friend.”
    They walked across a fifty-foot long library. Bellos marveled at the medical reference books he passed and texts printed in many different languages. He stopped at one point and took a book off a shelf.
    “‘Polio Diaries-Virology, by Jonas Salk’, how did you get this? This is original penmanship. He died back in 1995, right?”
    “Centuries ago; that was payment to us, resulting from a political negotiation; I’m sorry to say. This way; shall we continue?”
    Swanson gestured to the other end of the room. Bellos put the book back on the shelf , and they walked to another set of double doors. Swanson turned the latch and pushed the doors open.
    “Come in. Welcome to my endless hallway. I’m rather embarrassed that I am surprisingly nervous. People here will tell you I never seem nervous...”
    “Imagine that,” Bellos chimed.
    “ …Yes, well, this way; I should also tell you that involvement with us is for life, Dr. Bellos. And every life here benefits from the omniscience of the whole. But, like anything else, none of it works without trust; you know? I like to think we are one reason mankind is at the top of the food chain, hah…”
    “And that means?”
    “…In the final analysis, it was the genetics, of it all, that brought us to you. It is you, Mathew…” Swanson gently touched his sleeve…“What I said before is certainly true. Your colleague is going to discover something profound; but he will want us as much as I need you.”
    “Sir, you talk in riddles?”
    “Sorry; this is my first and only time doing this…” Swanson paused, looking Bellos squarely in the eye…“You see, I am not just a recruiter. In fact, I am Great Grand Master, Gordon G. Swanson. In our vernacular, the population refers to me as ‘GGM’…I run this place, lead it, if you will. I represent all the lives here. And, I am recruiting you to replace me, and to help me decide if some of our very important information should be made public, to the surface.” 
    “What?” Bellos said. “Are you Masons?”
    Swanson lifted one eyebrow. “No, my boy; although several terms they use may have come from us; neither great, nor grand master came from them. And just for the record, I think you may be saying ‘what?’ quite a lot…Come to think of it, so did I.”
    “This is a mistake; really,” said Bellos, rolling his eyes and shaking his head.
    “No, Doctor; it is not!”
    Swanson squeezed his shoulder. “It’s no mistake. I need you. We all need you. Come; I will try to explain as much as I can, within what time we have.”
    They began walking slowly again. “Now pay attention. Here, in our world, we measure a lifetime in genetic terms, more than in time terms. That is to say, we measure age and general health, as it relates to individual DNA or gene structure, depending…”
    “I know how important good health is,” Bellos said. “I am a doctor.”
    “Well, we certainly use concepts of physics, time, economics and politics; but we’ve concentrated our cultural strategies with different frames of reference, if you will. You see, we isolated, defined and started
