“We are orbiting just on the outside of the gravitational pull of our Moon, or what we sometimes call Selene, so, between Selene and LaGrange Points 1 and 2,” said Yesha. “This small moon and about 11 others like it are orbiting our Earth in a sophisticated tangent and are for all sakes and purposes more advanced than any construct made by humanity in the real world and are practically invisible. People cannot see them by just looking up at the sky or scanning with conventional radars, sensory systems, or telescopic technologies. These satellites, which have more capacity and capability than all of the other satellites combined, have the latest in high-invisibility cloaking.
“Japanese scientists had been working on this technology for years, and they were doing a remarkable job. It was Eliza, however, who cracked the invisibility code a couple of years before the formation of Pathway and applied it to every vulnerable and covert advancement she came up with. She did this to maximize our ability to protect humanity from the malicious use of the tech. She ensured safety mechanisms were in place before the brewers of uncontrolled chaos or greed, selfishness, hatred, toxicity, or prejudice had an opportunity to grasp, understand, manipulate and use them for means that have nothing to do with the preservation of life, its longevity, or the well-being of humanity or life itself. It’s a simple combination of undetectable multi-spectrum laser sensors, cameras, and digital pixilations. Look over there!”
Yesha pointed toward several magnificent and gleaming cities sprawling the dark side of the Moon. “These cities are but a few of many. They span the solar system with a total of twenty-thousand of them and can only be seen by those who have been optimized and interfaced for further training within the Virtual Universe. The designs for these High-Tech Cities, with self-sustaining everything, had already existed in some lesser form of one kind or another throughout the world. We gathered them all together, picked the best aspects of each of them, reinvented them quite a bit, and improved upon their features in spades. Then, Eliza encoded large clouds of nanos to build them, while the rest of us were working with James Cooper and his crew in the building of the infrastructure of our then-new company, Pathway LLC, on Earth, before the formation of Pathway Industries. We finally dropped “LLC” or “Industries” as a reference and called our company, Pathway. Everything you see was initially designed by Eliza and me. Believe me, Eliza thinks of everything. I helped a little bit, but you’d be amazed at how she thinks. We briefed every single one of Pathway’s current population of more than two billion citizens fully, as soon as they were fully read-in. Look over there.”
Vesha suddenly felt her occipital lobe engage again, integrate with her vision, her hippocampus, her prefrontal cortex, and then connect from the corpus callosum. She shared thought, vision, and scope with Sky and Yesha to their minds. She realized that she was coupled through each individual’s corpus callosum, and she felt her visual ability multiply exponentially to zoom in to see the dark side of the Moon as if it were hovering within clear view, giving way to the revelation of every finite detail there. She and Sky were seeing what Yesha was seeing. She was instantly impressed with the waterfalls, the natural and welcoming atmosphere of the areas surrounding and within the tech cities, their cleanliness, the colorful arrays of the trees, forests, jungles, flowers, vegetation, morels, spices, herbs, streams, and lakes, the self-sustaining systems, the beauty of each aspect of every single bit of the architecture of every building. She noticed how, although each of them was unique in a magnificently beautiful way, they seemed to complement and integrate with each other and the nearby terrain with pristine quality and impenetrable durability. Each of the cities she beheld was connected in a variety of intuitive ways, was beautiful to witness, and each in its own intriguing manner—from the sky view of the city to the city’s view of the sky and then the Cosmos, itself.
Vesha then drifted away, turning around and taking advantage of the protection from the Sunlight by the dark side of the Moon, to look at the constellations from the location she was at. There was Andromeda, the Galaxy, almost as clear as day. “I can see her, she is so beautiful. I can see better or more clearly than I did, even with our country’s most advanced telescopes. The stars, the constellations there, and the physics that I know and am learning as I speak tell me there are quite a few fascinating planets that would be very nice to check out someday. I’m hoping that ‘someday’ will be very soon. All of this must mean I am physiologically and neurologically upgraded with the telescopic vision of a very cutting-edge variety?”
“Yes, you can see her, Vesha, and you are correct, it is due to telescopic vision. Your occipital lobe has been re-optimized, as well as your hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, corpus callosum, and the cornea and lenses of your physiological eyes. In the future, just like now, you will be able to engage these abilities as well as others you will be trained on, both inside and outside the Virtual Universe. Your hypothalamus and amygdala have been enhanced to maximize how your hippocampus processes everything and retain it, also adding to the enjoyment and appreciation of it all, as well as your ability to recall each of your memories as clearly and as soon as you need them. Andromeda is beautiful, isn’t she?”
Then Yesha turned slightly to her right and pointed, “What do you think of this?”
Vesha looked where Yesha was pointing and realized that she had sent a mental image of what she was leading at from Yesha’s viewpoint and location. Before her, on the conveniently-located digital display, was all of the essential information. Yesha then explained, to Vesha’s satisfaction what she saw, “Just like a moment ago, I can see what you see right now, as if I were you, and I can study the intricate details of the Twelve Database Moons, their insignias, and their ornate complexity, as well as the aesthetics of it all. I’m in awe of what they can do and what they hold within them. Wow, I am receiving updates quickly and with speedy comprehension, clarity, and I can fully understand the meaning for each symbol, all of which seems to be flooding into my mind as soon as I see it. You two were way ahead of many when it comes to robotics, nanos, and artificial intelligence! Yesha, you should know that you too certainly deserve some credit for lighting a fire under Eliza’s innovative prowess. You have complemented her brilliance in every possible way. The closest friends I have, aside from my family that do that for me are Sky, Najem, and Jasmine.
“Here I am, integrated with your and Eliza’s minds, with Sky actually accompanying both of us as her own living entity, and this experience is through the roof—literally! These symbols have quite a history to them too! It’s as if they represent in visual form, a bit of artistry, the desire for peace among civilizations, and communication of the Universe. I can understand so much more, to include the breadth of the physical properties and abilities of these database moons. I can see where and when these images and symbols were communicated by the ancients of every dominant religion and civilization of Earth’s latest historical inhabitants. I can see somehow that each of these was received through frequencies and other radiated communications and put into play as intended. Who would have known these symbols had a higher value than what we had initially appreciated or took them for? Everything symbolic is there, so elegant and so majestic. I can see cryptograms, including those of the ancient Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Muslims, the Norse Pagans, and each of the Asian and Hindu Religions. Oh, Christian faiths of all genres, Jewish faiths of each type, and intriguing religions I had no idea about before. I can see the Navajo, Cherokee, Aztec, Mayan, Pomo, Pygmy, Aborigine, and Eskimo faith symbols, and so many more are all woven in from all over our World. Wow! They seem to tie into the radiation reflective-absorption balance and defensive capabilities of the Twelve Database Moons themselves. I’m quite taken aback by the artistry and sophistication here. This is truly amazing, Yesha. Really! This is awesome. Who would have known?
“Wow!
“This is beautiful.
“I am actually quite impressed.
“How did you guys pull this off?” Vesha then saw the gi
gantic shield-like massive constructs protecting the Earth, the Moon, and the Twelve Database Moons. She saw how each shield provided just the right amount of energy and light in intervals to each surface to protect them each in a unique way. The Moon, for example, was given the kind of protection necessary to afford it a beautiful, yet cozy atmosphere, and she saw where the terrain was actually teeming with rivers, lakes, mountains, cliffs, waterfalls, islands, seas, and life. However, if viewed from outside of the Virtual Universe, no one would ever know this existed at all or at least in that way.
Yesha then explained, “Eliza thought about all of this, a way to preserve our minds, a way to preserve our solar system, to preserve our Home World, and even a way to connect from one being to another. Since the creation of these shields and Twelve Database Moons, as well as the creation of Pathway, we have melded minds with people from all over the world. There is a lot of purpose behind each symbol; simply put, these symbols have something to do with the proper balance of both absorption and deflection of radiation of every single kind of particle, to include both baryonic and non-baryonic material, as your mind has revealed, and you have noted.”
Yesha then pointed toward another location on what she now understood as a spheroid called Selene, and Vesha saw, again, it was the Moon. There it was, the Moon, or Selene, and it was teeming with wildlife, with vast running areas for stampedes of buffalo, deer, elephants, lions, leopards, bears, tigers, and giraffe; every single animal a person could imagine was right there, together, healthy, happy, and no longer wild, but tame, domesticated, and sentient. They were all out for a stroll, looking out for one another with an intriguing sense of politeness. Gone was any reason for predation, and in its place was a viable food source in a beautiful home they all shared.
There were mountains, rivers, streams, forests, oceans, islands, and even continents filled with beautiful, artistic, and futuristic tech cities. Spaceports were everywhere, with a wide variety of transportation options, and each with a vast array of purposes. “Just like you see on Selene, the same is true on Mars, its moons, Ceres and other spherical asteroids, the moons of the giant gas planets, Pluto and the dwarf planets and their moons, and any spherical planetoid throughout our solar system. As we rescue the refugees, those reared in abusive homes, victims of malevolence or natural disaster, and each person willing once pre-trained at the Pathway Campuses, they then are optimized physiologically and neurologically as they enter the Virtual Universe and are encouraged to share their wisdom. With all that I have shared with you, the more we collectively learn and train each other the more the entire process of mastering our new abilities becomes more comfortable to control. When that happens, fewer advanced control mechanisms and maintenance algorithms by our space nanos are needed, because our bodies will emulate those abilities and adapt them to our own biological construct, thus preserving our humanity. Right now, as I shared before, the total population of the tech cities is at two billion and growing so you can imagine that the collective wisdom in Pathway, shared by everyone here, is exponential, yet we still have our individuality and all of the beauty that comes with it. Economically, for the sake of comprehension only, Eliza’s financial worth is in the hundred-Octodecillions as valued by the US Dollar. There is much more to explore, but we need to return soon to Eliza.
“We saw the tech cities, but have you seen the Moon Base?” Yesha, beckoned her mentally to follow her gaze, and there it was, another beautiful location with a seemingly infinite series of high and arching domes, also teeming with luscious forests, life, industry, productivity, and portals full of activity, with spacecraft entering and exiting the large spaceport. “The science of all of this is quite exhilarating to consider, and all that you see is part of an advanced system protecting the life of our Sun for trillions of years and more. It is also still covert to the public eye. The people on Earth will be quite surprised when all of this is revealed, don’t you think?”
With that question, Vesha answered, “With everything going on here, I have no doubt they will be surprised,” and just like that she, Sky, and Yesha were instantly back on the couch, sitting beside Eliza—Tyson was cuddled beside her as she listened to her music and meditated. All of a sudden, Vesha felt as though her mind was linked to Eliza’s, to all of her emotions, her dreams, her experiences, her knowledge, her wisdom—it all came flooding in. She realized that she could no longer speak. All of a sudden it was as though Vesha was a drifter, peering out, observing, feeling, and experiencing the life of Eliza Amber Williams—it was as if she was Eliza. It felt new, it felt refreshing, inspiring, and more unique than anything she had ever felt before. The complexity of it all, the sweet flavor of individual thought and experience and perspective. This was more surreal, yet real and delicious, to her mind and to her understanding, than she knew she would ever be able to express in emotion or words. She began to grasp with complete clarity why it was that she needed to be trained within the Virtual Universe. This was the most beautiful treat of all, to link minds. Her own thoughts began to drift away, and she released the perceptions of her own mind, and let go.
Chapter 04: Eliza Williams, Section 1
Database Moon Archive, Celestial-Sol Entry Date: 2018 December 25. Yesha Alevtina trains Vesha Celeste. In this crucial part of her training, after her awakening, they explore the biography of Eliza Amber Williams, the most pivotal influence on a promising and long-lasting future, as if they were Eliza. These journeys are re-experienced within the Virtual Universe. Vesha and Yesha are interfaced via biopod within the Pathway Melrose Campus. Input by: Yesha Alevtina, President of Pathway Industries, 2015-2022.
Vesha and Yesha looked into Eliza’s past as though they were Eliza, and as they did, they forgot themselves as they drifted into a different reality and embraced the experience of life as viewed from the mind of Eliza, infused on occasion with some of the memories of Yesha.
~*~
Thirty-five years ago Eliza opened her eyes for the very first time, but here she was now in the year 2015, looking back. Her years throughout life had been no easy chore. She didn’t consume herself in the negative for overmuch time; however, she maintained a careful balance in a quest for learning from life and building upon the experiences absorbed and shared with others.
At the moment, Eliza sat with the peaceful sense of companionship she had when near a being whose primary goal in life was to show unconditional love. She felt the rewarding sagacity of accomplishment on her soft sofa, as her brindle Boxador dog, Tyson, was alive again and filled with love curled up beside her. Soothing music played in the background, and her past played out in her mind. By this time in Eliza’s life, she had accomplished many things more in comparison to many, but judgments never moved her—she merely aimed to be good, a reasonable individual, nothing more and nothing less. Sometimes that required the pursuit of conviction and a dream of hope for not one’s self alone, but for others as well. Regardless, most of what she had done was undetectable and unnoticed by anyone, save by her friends and teammates at Pathway.
In 2008, she had begun secretly building the infrastructure for her company. Just two years later she started her venture, and she, Yesha, and James had officially formed their LLC, which seemed to the public as though it were merely a small and admirable venture. In 2010, they had established a government-sanctioned covert science liaison branch within their quite large and clandestine company and were owners of other publicly-unreleased, yet remarkable, advancements. They would in due time become recognized as major economic titans.
Throughout 2010, although hidden in plain sight, they were already more powerful than any industry within the history of mankind. Yet, Pathway would slowly shift the energy of humanity toward the development and acceptance of innovations that led to the preservation of life and multi-planetary existence. This reality was not so foreseeable by many in the public arena at that time. Eliza was saddened for only brief moments about the fact that too many supposed that kindness, benevolence, innovation towar
d a better future, and adventures throughout the Cosmos and deep space, where we bridged diplomatic communications with distant civilizations to preserve life and our Universe, were dull pursuits. They preferred tearing others down, making cynical jokes with passive-aggressive puns designed to put people in the place they viewed as the place they ought to be, and saw brutality and a mediocre reality as exciting, but she didn’t see it that way, and she knew that neither did anyone who was of a healthy mind.
Innovations of Pathway had been briefed to each new member of her cadre during their read-in, or biopod optimizations and training in the Virtual Universe. Through this, members of Pathway gained a full-scope of understanding, an increased capacity to make sense of and retain everything they had learned and tap into an ever-increasing vastness of collective wisdom and physical attributes that led to youth, health, and longevity.
