Everybody knows that the janitor is the cornerstone

This was a conversation in the boardroom where the team was meeting for lunch. They were talking about KD, who was curiously -inexplicably talented at resisting both physical and psychological torture.

“Maybe KD’s not like the rest of us somehow. Maybe for some reason torture doesn’t bother KD as much.”

“Well,” says the young man to his female coworker, and lowers his voice, shifting his gaze around the room – “I don’t know if you believe in this sort of thing, but I think it actually has something to do with the Illuminati”.

The young lady scoffs. “Do you really believe in that stuff?”

“As he should. It’s all true.”

Jumping in fright, both turn around from the coffee dispenser at the sound of their boss’s voice.
“Sir…”

“No, no. I think it’s time we talk about this, actually. Why don’t both of you take a seat?”

They do so at the lunch table, nervously. Their boss is the head programmer here and he goes by the name El. He is not typically predisposed to talking about clients in the break room, and they were expecting a cold stern chewing out – somehow this was more disconcerting.

“Do you two want to know what the Illuminati really is? There’s a lot of disinformation which is quite intentional – that it has something to do with wealthy families, the Rothchilds are always lumped in for instance. The truth is that many of the world’s wealthiest families could only dream of becoming members of the Illuminati.”

“Gosh. If they can’t buy in, what hope do the rest of us have?” The young man chides. He really can’t help being clever, and despite El having no sense of humor to speak of – he basically just ignores the joke.

“You can’t ‘buy in’. Period. You see, to be a true Illuminati bloodline, you need to have psychic ability. It is something that, yes, the wealthiest families have spent endless money researching to foster in their own progeny, something that humanity’s elites have attempted to preserve amongst themselves by inbreeding and other unfortunate misinformed traditions, but the kind of potential needed to become a true illuminatus is something that no amount of money can buy.”

“Not yet anyway.”

El shrugs. “As the case may be. Now, I’m sure you two are well educated enough to remember the rumors of Egyptian pharaohs being ‘divine’. In truth, the possessed a quality that made them – more than human. You see, they were among The Shining. There is more than latent psychic potential needed to become Shining – a true illuminatus. Along with grueling mental and spiritual training, there is a genetic predisposition that exists alongside the ‘psi’ gene many of you are aware of. To have both together is rare to say the least...

Perhaps you already know what I’m referring to by now. It’s the so-called ‘God-gene’ possessed by reality benders. In the elder days, they didn’t need to decrypt a person’s genetic code to find those who possessed it. You see, those who had it were considered incarnate divine presences – and that wasn’t our ‘primitive ancestors’ mistaking parlor magic tricks for true power. It would be impossible to mistake a fully manifested Shining One for anything but a superhuman at the least. But the trait has been dormant in humanity for a long, long, long…time.

The Illuminati has settled for far less in our membership – weak reality altering current, mutated or only partially functioning ‘God Genes’ and plugged ‘Psi’ abilities, only able to function with real power when cybernetically enhanced…”

“You said – ‘our membership’ – sir…”

“Ah, yes that’s correct. I am a member of the Illuminati myself. You and your coworkers may consider yourselves in our service, along with most of earth’s government and almost the entirety of the human race. I may as well tell you that the ‘divine’ gene refers to human alien hybridization. The children of Nephilim are the offspring of a different – more advanced – species. They were chastised for hybridizing by mating with primitive humans.”

“Basically, you’re telling us that the ‘Illuminati’ – as such – are alien hybrids?”

“Yes, that is essentially accurate. The convenience of this secret is that I have no concern whatsoever of either of you sharing it – I am well aware nobody would ever buy it. And let me clarify something while I have the chance. There is absolutely truth to the idea that there are Illuminati families and that they tend to pass down their special abilities through bloodlines. That has been the core method of preserving our special power throughout the era as the true Shining Ones – immortals – became a thing of the past many eras ago.

However, it’s simply not the case that you will find the names of these true families published in any outlet of the popular media. They are very, very secretive families. And they exist outside the common power hierarchy entirely – their status coveted. There is an exception, with for example the British Monarchy. But it is sort of that family’s ‘role’ to be publicized. And while nobody would necessarily admit it aloud, it is a well known fact that they are very far from the most powerful among the Illuminati.”

“So what the hell happened with KD? Just some freak of nature, born with more power than these established bloodlines?”

“Not just ‘more power’. With a latent potential that hasn’t been seen in millennia. Can you imagine the reaction that elicited from our Families? Some random nobody showing the coveted grail. Of course there was an uproar when the determination was confirmed to be real and not some fluke on the monitor. And then shown over and over again, each instance more apparent than the last that this 'nobody' was manifesting some of the most powerful reality bending traits anybody had ever seen – all without any training or awareness.

And KD was not the only one. There has been a recent upswing in these ‘Nobodies’. The Illuminati has been monitoring the situation for some time; all over the world, these supposedly ‘mundane’ plebeians with no money, status, wealth, or power – have been showing signs of extreme potential. The ones that stand out the most are attended to, occasionally bid on for control, or quieted with insanity, or just … studied. KD was a little different though…almost nothing KD could have done would have instigated such drastic measures to be taken as they have, with complete extrication from society.

But KD left us with no choice. The direct entropy coefficient of KD begun spiking so high that solar flares and planetary alignments have been wobbling, extreme weather patterns have been frequently proliferating from KD's point of origin and collective consciousness data has been skewed to disproportionate and chaotic levels. We had to do something. We intervened once temporarily in order to establish some fundamental control, but KD's constant ability to compartmentalize and regrow truncated portions of psyche has made maintaining that control over time difficult, and eventually it reached the point where….

Well we realized that we were just going to have to do it over and over again, and that simply wasn’t practical…we needed something more permanent. And there were a few Families that called for death, but the majority of us unanimously agreed that this would be a massive waste of potential research material and an extremely powerful weapon, should we get it under control. And of course that was their argument, and a relatively good one – that KD is simply too dangerous to allow to exist. That much remains to be seen. Indeed, there were a few Families that wanted to outright adopt KD, but that’s simply not going to happen. It wouldn’t be fair. So we eventually agreed KD would be under our collective stewardship, not as a direct member of a Family but as…perhaps…a pet.

Now there are some interesting differences between a wild animal and a domesticated one, isn’t that right? What happens to a dog when it is trained from birth to obey is that it becomes less dangerous, more predictable, less powerful, and of course inherently submissive. Now KD was not raised within an Illuminati family, trained from birth to master self-discipline. Speaking of ‘power’, KD is more like a wolf, and no matter how well you train a wild animal – there is always that element of unpredictability that remains, the possibility – however small, that it will turn on its handler … so we are indeed taking a risk. But there’s also something a wolf has that a domesticated dog will never possess – a level of instinct and power that perhaps the bloodline Illuminati has lost over centuries of training our offspring from birth.”
