In Manhattan, a Predator drone transmits images of millions of humans on top of buildings. City pigeons are flying in different directions. The sun is having a full eclipse from something blocking it. The air has the scent of death and remorse. The clear sky has thousands of beams penetrating towards buildings. People are on rooftops standing in silence. Their bodies lift four feet into the air by red infrared beams. The mother ship is about to upload bioparasites directly to ten percent of the population when the countdown is complete. There are millions of people standing in Manhattan streets standing and waiting to be infected next. They are crying and screaming in their minds for someone to save them. There are alien clouds going up and down the street over them. Birds drop feces on humans standing in the street. Dogs and cats are standing near their unresponsive owners on lose chains. They bark continuously at the sky and clouds above them. Cats slide between their owners’ legs and meow continuously. Animals in the Bronx Zoo are going crazy in their cages. In Hollywood, there are hundreds of people standing four feet in the air on the Hollywood sign. There are millions more on top of buildings and skyscrapers, around the city.
In Paris, people are standing on top of the Eiffel Tower and on houses and buildings around the city. In Las Vegas, people are standing on top of hotel buildings and lining main street in complete silence. In Egypt, one person is standing at the very top of a pyramid with their arms out as if they are on a cross.
Cruise ships, oil tankers and cargo ships are stationary and have dozens of people standing on top of them. The ships have their anchors down while the waves hit. A cruise ship by the name of Oasis 2 sits in the middle of the Atlantic with passengers standing in the man-made park in the center of the ship. Their eyes are wide open and they gaze at the dimly lit sky above them. There are rows and rows of humans lined up. Some are on their balconies naked. There is complete silence around them and the wind howls by their ears as their Nanomole keeps them in the positive stage. Dozens of robot waiter workers walk up to each non-responding human and asks them if they want a drink, while others ask if they need assistance. Their soulless bodies continue to walk up to each person and ask the same thing. The passengers cry for help inside of their minds. The new eighteen-deck cruise ship has a planetarium with two DHWs looking through the telescope at the mother ship.
Animals in zoos around the world are going crazy and making screaming noises, trying to be free from their cages. One wraithstalker is flying around different parts of the planet checking Nanomoles in human remains in cemeteries. The second wraithstalker is checking the ocean of Nanomoles that were left from ashes over the centuries. The third wraithstalker is repairing itself over Greenland.
Mother ship 151,000 Miles from Earth 1:09 PM
Jaden opens his eyes in his human body. There are numerous scars around his face and his skin is missing around his body. His muscles and bones can be seen all around his body. He has two clear sealed holes in his head that are filled with blood. He looks around, but he still can’t move. The Nanodrones are bypassing his nerves and sending signals to his new brain directly.
A diagnostics test is ran and displays messages on his new detailed eye screen, Communications speed around body operating at 10,000 meters a second, Nanosincoid clock speed at 100 Petaflops.
His heart still isn’t working. Jaden has options to turn off pain or change emotions or feelings. He closes his eyes while the Nanodrones attempt to hold his spinal cord together with magnetic energy. Jaden is amazed what the sincoid is capable of doing. He begins multi-tasking while he concentrates on something in the background of his mind. Jaden’s body goes back online, in minimal mode. He opens his eyes and leans up. The sticky blood sticks to his back. He increases his sense of humor level.
‘Hey dark energy bitch, I’m back. I guess you didn’t finish the job. Maybe burger dick king can finish it for you,’ Jaden says telepathically while standing up on one foot.
The DEQ appears in a flat face again from across the room.
‘This is impossible, you are dead. You don’t have a heartbeat or brain left. How is this possible? How are you alive?’
‘I have a backup brain in my penis with a built in UPS battery system. I also have your twelve dimensions god particle in a circus cage prism. That was very sneaky of you to hide it in a dead brain cell when I was on Planet 455. I’m feeding it white blood cells as we speak.’
She raises her arm to grab him in a line of matter, but he isn’t affected by it.
‘I’m hip to that line of matter things. Nothing some created anti-matter energy from the god particle can’t fix,’ Jaden snaps. ‘It snitched and told some interesting facts about itself.’
‘What did you do to my shield generator core?’ She asks.
‘That wasn’t me, I was laying here like road kill. I looked like I was hit by a few trucks and a DWI driver. Oh yeah, I said hello to God like you told me to and He said he wanted to talk to you.’
‘Why are you still standing here and not running away from me? I can kill you like that. What are you hiding?’ She asks.
‘I’m not afraid of you. Under all the dark evil energy, I bet you are a skinny little alien with a training bra on. I bet I can kick your ass even in this crippled condition,’ Jaden says while reaching down and grabbing his severed left leg from the floor near him.
The DEQ’s body forms on the floor and back into multiple shadows. Jaden’s eyes move back and forth as if he is concentrating on something. She attempts to scan Jaden’s brain from across the room.
‘Did you find anything, you like?’ He asks while playing his leg like a guitar. “Sorry, my brain can’t be read anymore, access denied,” he chuckles. “Look at me, I’m playing Third life Guitar Hero in space,” he says aloud while hopping up and down on one foot. He flicks the hairs on his legs like buttons and strings.
She begins spinning her arms around and creates huge red matter balls. She wants to destroy him completely.
‘Now you want to play dodge ball?’ He asks.
‘Earth will be ours in forty seconds. I will cure you of your illnesses. This red matter ball will explode your body into a trillion pieces all over this area. Let’s see you come back to life after this, you arrogant dead bastard.’
‘That isn’t a nice way to talk to your son, stepmom,’ he snaps, ‘I’m definitely calling GACS and telling them what you just said. Galactic Administration for Child Services won’t approve of that language.’
A five-foot red ball is created with sparkling energy around it in front of the DEQ. The sparkling energy becomes bigger and bigger.
‘Time to die Jaden.’
‘Heroes don’t die, didn’t you learn that from watching all our movies? Good always conquers evil….oh shit…’
The red ball quickly approaches Jaden. His brain goes into 100X nanotime. He leaps upwards towards the ceiling while just avoiding the huge matter ball. He touches the ceiling with one hand twenty feet up. The red ball changes direction and comes towards Jaden. She fires hundreds of micro matter balls towards Jaden from her right hand. The huge ball approaches him quickly from the left. Outside the mother ship, green lasers are firing. Jaden pushes downward from the ceiling and curls his body into the fetal position, while his body slowly rotates. A huge blue molecule comes from outside of the mother ship and quickly moves towards Jaden’s body. The five-foot red matter ball reaches Jaden’s body within one foot, the micro one inch balls reach within two inches of his body. Jaden’s body disappears into the huge blue molecule.
‘See you later! Hope you have insurance!’ Jaden yells.
The huge molecule quickly passes through the see-through wall and exits the mother ship. The energies collide with each other and there is a slight explosion that quickly contains itself.
‘Light engines on!’ Jaden thinks to himself.
The Gravhawk’s body reappears and the light engines go on, but the mother ship grabs the Gravhawk in a tractor beam before it
jumps into warp speed. The light engines are at eighty-nine percent, but the Gravhawk is slowly moving forward. The Gravhawk fires two pink torpedoes and two purple torpedoes from the rear of the blue glowing molecule. The mother ship fires three green matter lasers at the Gravhawk from three directions, trying to destroy the torpedoes. The torpedoes break up into millions of pieces and reform together. The Gravhawk’s energy shield absorbs the lasers and its shield turns completely green around the Gravhawk. The shield strength is quickly draining. The torpedoes hit several locations on the mother ship and a small explosion forms. One of the green matter laser cannons explodes. The green matter laser from the other two cannons quickly devours the Gravhawk’s shield energy. The shield manages to return the green matter laser back towards the unshielded mother ship creating damage to the hull. Three very powerful green matter torpedoes are fired towards the Gravhawk and quickly approach it. Jaden begins to panic as the Nanoscanners detect catastrophic damage from the torpedoes. The signal from Mars hits the mother ship from behind at the speed of light. Explosions begin going off inside the ship and the Gravhawk is released from the tractor beam just in time. The mother ship explodes into a huge green fireball as the Gravhawk jumps into warp speed. The light from the explosion quickly tails the Gravhawk. The green torpedoes miss their target and continue into space. Something jumps into warp behind the Gravhawk.
‘Hello, my friend, how’s it going?’ AI asks, ‘You look like you are in very bad shape.’
‘Hey AI, my body has been abused by a mean stepmom. I’m so happy to hear your voice and to be inside this ship. I’m lucky to be alive, that was a very close call.’
‘How did you make it to the Gravhawk in the North Pole?’
‘Kim, everything was Kim. She saved us all, she risked her life to get me in the Gravhawk. Where did you get the nanosincoid from?’ AI asks.
‘Bellona! She had it hidden in my brain all this time.’
‘When I was finally in the Gravhawk after a very long ordeal, my navigation ability to control the ship was still offline. Then a few minutes later, the ship received an encoded neutrino signal from space. I couldn’t believe it was you. Then you were remoting into the ship. I told you the nanosincoid could do wonders. I couldn’t believe you were flying the ship yourself by remote from such a far distance away….’
Pentagon
The sunlight returns to the planet. Everyone is cheering in the secured area deep in the Pentagon. HBHs around the world begin fighting off the weakened Nanomoles in their brains. They regain control of their bodies. The bioparasites and microbots in five percent of the population have a standoff struggle in human bodies. The Nanomoles can’t fully control the brain anymore and didn’t finish programming all the white blood cells. The remaining white blood cells quickly attack the microbots and bioparasites. Jaden’s Andromedian friends appear from the Atlantic Ocean in their spaceships. They spread out in different directions to go after the three remaining wraithstalkers.
Gravhawk
I, Robot Soundtrack Tunnel Chase Track 5 begins playing in the background very low. Jaden continues talking, ‘I can’t believe I was able to also from such a far distance. I assumed I was going to die on the ship any second. I wouldn’t have been able to remote into it, if you didn’t have the key to get inside of it in the first place. Then I was able to see the countdown time from the Pentagon through the Gravhawk’s nanoscanner. I guess the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. I think someone high above was watching over me on that one. I feel like Han Solo in the Millennium Falcon. Okay, what is that dark thing gaining on us?’
A nanoscanner displays the images of a DEW behind them.
‘Oh shit, we have a dark energy wraith behind us. It looks like the same one that chased us on Planet 455,’ Jaden says.
‘What is it?’ AI asks.
‘You’re asking me and you are the alien species that knows about sixty percent of the universe?’
‘It is full of pure dark energy and it could destroy this ship,’ AI says.
‘Exactly, you got it; that is all we need to know. We need to lose that thing…Oh no, I’m being hailed. The god particle in my brain is receiving communications.’
‘This is your DEQ friend. I’m going to work on my human species humor before I destroy you again for a final time. I want to show you I can be funny also, just like you tried to be! Not!’ She yells.
‘Oh no, oh double shit!’ Jaden yells to AI.
‘We passed Mars orbit a minute ago. The asteroid belt is coming up quick, we can try to lose it in there,’ AI says.
‘Good idea, AI.’
‘I have some serious road rage from the hit and run you just did on my ship back there. Why don’t you stop so we can exchange some insurance information?’ She asks.
‘Come on, no hard feelings with your ship. No one stops on Earth after a big accident like that without any insurance, I’m sure not going to stop now. You are going to have to catch me dark energy pig,’ Jaden says while the Gravhawk speeds up. The background music increases in volume and tempo.
The Gravhawk slows down while quickly changing direction around a huge rock. The main thruster engines go online and the light engines go offline. The unattached wings change directions and are straight outward. The ship enters the asteroid belt where there are millions of asteroids and meteoroids there. The Gravhawk quickly dodges around asteroids of all sizes. The DEW dodges them slowly and plows through smaller ones. The blue molecule appears around the Gravhawk.
‘Let’s try to shoot some stuff at it,’ Jaden says.
Dozens of clear cannons, the size of bowling balls, are shot from the rear of the molecule towards the DEW trying to catch up. The shield cannons disappear into the dark wraith. Blue MPB beams are shot from the wings destroying medium rocks in front of it.
‘You have to do better than that. Shooting a BB gun at a nuclear missile isn’t going to do much justice. Come on give up, so your death can be less painful,’ the DEQ says.
‘Never give up, never surrender,’ Jaden says to the DEQ.
‘Galaxy Quest, 1999, that was the movie that quote was in. Your foolish life revolves around movies and foolish beliefs,’ she says.
‘You’re good,’ Jaden says.
Blade 2 Soundtrack 1 techno theme begins to play.
‘Remember you asked where the pawns were? Well, here they are!’ The DEQ yells.
Small, dark energy balls, the size of a tennis ball, are fired from the DEW at the Gravhawk. It passes through the asteroids while making a hole in them. The energy shield forms around the Gravhawk and an energy ball penetrates the shield and hits the right wing. The wing goes into the body and then comes back out like new. The Gravhawk quickly dodges, accelerates and spins in circles dodging the dark energy balls. Asteroid rocks begin hitting other rocks into different directions. The sound can’t be heard, but the vibrations can be felt.
‘I’ve played the game Asteroids, but this is ridiculous,’ Jaden snaps.
‘Those dark energy balls can penetrate our shields, we have to be careful they don’t hit the Gravhawk’s body,’ AI says.
‘You are telling me, I felt that hitting the wing and it hurt,’ Jaden says.
The Gravhawk quickly moves around the asteroids while scraping the top of them. Debris flies while it sucks into the DEW. The DEW increases in size.
‘Do you remember the movie, The Invisible Man?’ Jaden asks it.
The Gravhawk goes completely invisible and does a 180° turn around a huge asteroid. The DEW quickly passes right through the asteroid while turning 90°, just missing the Gravhawk. The asteroid explodes into pieces. The DEW continues to catch up to the Gravhawk.
‘You fool, I can still sense your energy and matter particles.’
The Gravhawk fires several yellow, pink and purple torpedoes at the DEW while slowing to dodge a more congested asteroid area. The Gravhawk’s offen
sive weapons don’t have any effect on the DEW and it increases in size.
‘I eat those, yum, yum. Keep them coming,’ the DEQ says.
‘You keep eating like that, you’ll be able to fit into American society very well.’
‘I’ll be back for American society after I’m finished with you. Overweight Americans can be used for something as well,’ DEQ says.
‘Come on dark energy queen, let’s be friends. Let’s stop this chase and kill game.’
‘I tried that, then you betrayed me and destroyed my ship.’
AI interrupts their conversation, ‘Jaden, I have an idea, I think we should try optic-warp. Maybe we can lose this DEW in there,’ AI says.
‘You wanted to take over humans and use my nanodrone for some evil experiment. I can’t get down like that. You and your king darth sidious can have your party without me. I’m no Darth Vader puppet, I know who I am. If this was Star Wars, I would be a BIO-Sapien Jedi,’ he says while chuckling with confidence.
‘I’m tired of playing with you, just die!’
The DEW splits into two pieces and quickly moves on both sides of the Gravhawk. It fires hundreds of dark energy balls at the Gravhawk from both sides. Jaden’s mind goes into nanotime and the Gravhawk begins spinning very fast. He tries to change course, but the balls are coming too fast from all directions. A few pass through the Gravhawk’s maximum shield. One ball penetrates the liquid metal body near the nose and quickly exits. Jaden sees Hull compromised, Damage in nose, Losing ship energy on the ship’s screen. Another energy ball passes through the middle of the Gravhawk striking Jaden’s human body in the fetal position and continues out the other side of the hull. Nanobots get to work to seal the holes. Jaden’s ankle, leg, right side, and arm are badly damaged. Another ball penetrates the rear, just misses the light engine core and optic-warp processing area. The main thruster engine area is hit. Jaden sees, main thrusters offline. Jaden laughs hysterically.
The Gravhawk pulls away and changes direction away from the two DEWs.
‘Jaden, why are you laughing? How is this funny?’ AI asks.
‘In the nanosincoid, I changed the pain I’m feeling with the ship into tickling feelings around my body.’
‘How did that feel? I see you are leaking anti-gravity and oxygen, let’s if we can get some more out of you,’ the DEQ says.
The Gravhawk begins to slow down and Jaden takes AI’s advice. The DEWs are closing in and the matrix vortex shield forms in front of the Gravhawk. Jaden sets a course for the sun in milliseconds and the ship jumps into light speed. The front vortex shield plows through asteroids in the way. The DEW jumps into light speed behind it. Trillions of nanobots try to stabilize the several holes through the body.
‘We are in bad shape Jaden. We suffered major structural damage. Another direct hit and the ship could explode.’
‘I know that AI. Try to help me figure out a way we can get out of this,’ Jaden says.
Suddenly, Optic-warp molecule converter matter is leaking is displayed.
They quickly pass Mars’ orbit while the DEW quickly catches up.
‘What can we do to fix that?’ Jaden asks.
‘All the nanobots are holding the ship together. That needs to be repaired or the Gravhawk’s molecules won’t be able to breakdown to enter subspace,’ AI says.
‘I love the way your anti-matter exhaust tastes,’ the DEQ says.
‘I’ll use the Nanodrones in my body to try to repair it,’ Jaden says.
‘All the Nanodrones are holding your body together.’
‘Freeze my body, use the Nanodrones to fix the leak and send out a Mayday,’ Jaden says.
‘Yes sir. I already sent out Maydays, but no one responded.’
‘Man, this sucks,’ Jaden says.
Five hundred trillion Nanodrones leave Jaden’s frozen body to repair the molecule converter. Many of them die since they weren’t made to repair such materials.
The DEW gets close to the rear of the Gravhawk and rams it. The tail moves closer to the rear of the ship. Pieces of the tail rip away. The rear of the Gravhawk’s body is also penetrated. The Gravhawk uses its last energy to enter maximum light engine speed.
Warning! Rear matter and antimatter collision detected, shielding light engines area exposed, All sensors and nanoscanner communications offline is displayed.
The Gravhawk reaches 187,500 mps and it slowly passes its own light. The Gravhawk begins to shake violently.
‘Those two energies can’t collide. If we are hit again from the rear, we are going to lose light engines. We also might lose structural stability passing the speed of light barrier without proper front energy protection,’ AI says.
North Pole, Earth
The sky is dark and there is a colorful green northern lights glowing in the night sky. Kim runs out from the out of fuel scramjet. She looks up into the night sky and sees a moving star in the sky, but without a trail behind it. It quickly crosses the sky and she turns her head to watch it. She sees three more small trails of bright light approaching the moving star. She believes Jaden is the moving star.
Space between Venus and Earth
The Gravhawk is badly damaged. It needs to pass Mercury before it has enough solar winds energy to enter optic-warp. The 200 trillion remaining Nanodrones can’t contain the molecule converter matter area. They return into Jaden’s body. The DEW is approaching again from behind.
‘We can’t enter optic-warp, the Nanodrones can’t repair the leak,’ AI says.
‘Goodbye Jaden Marino, I guess this is your last move. This is what you would call checkmate,’ the DEQ says while chuckling.
The Gravhawk tries to slightly change direction at light speed, but the DEW stays right on the rear. It speeds up and rams the tail again. The tail explodes and disappears into the DEW’s dark abyss. The Gravhawk loses its light engines and thrust. The DEW moves forward to consume the rest of the ship. The DEW is less than a foot from the rear of the Gravhawk and at the last second, the DEW slows down. Jaden and AI are confused to why it is slowing down.
‘Need some help again, our human friend?’ Bellona asks.
Jaden’s mind triggers another soundtrack to begin playing. Halo 2 Soundtrack 13, Earth City begins to play in his mind.
‘Now you show up to help? I’m so glad to hear your voice,’ Jaden says.
Suddenly Bellona’s ship appears out of nowhere with a huge gold molecule going around the middle of it. Her fifth generation EIS shines over the rest. Her ship connects onto the Gravhawk and gives it a piggyback ride. Marco and Bomani’s ships approach from an angle behind the DEW and uses a plasma matter tractor beams to slow the DEW back.
‘No! No! No! Where did you Andromedians come from. You aren’t supposed to be here. This is impossible! You all will be destroyed also!’
‘I guess you meant to say check instead of checkmate. Look at me, I’ve gotten some chess pieces to the other side of the chess game and I’ve gotten some pieces back,’ Jaden snaps to the DEQ.
The DEW fires dark energy balls from the side at the two ships and at Jaden. They quickly dodge them and speed forward, releasing the tractor grip beam. Bellona’s ship that is more advanced quickly accelerates Jaden’s and hers past the speed of light to outrun the dark energy balls. The ships pass Venus’ orbit.
‘Hey buddy, we heard your calls, but we needed a strategy to help you. We noticed the DEW was losing strength the closer it was getting to the sun,’ Marco says.
‘No problem at all. I’m very happy to see you guys again. Just get this evil bitch off my ass. She is worse than a wild pit bull with a steak on my ass,’ Jaden says, ‘I like your more advanced looking EIS Bellona. The golden molecule looks nice. I see you received the promotion.’
‘Yes, I love it. This is one of the most advanced spaceships in the galaxy,’ she says.
The Gravhawk’s body against Bellona’s ship is making Jaden feel as if Bellona is hugging him and rubbing up against him naked.
‘How does that feel Jaden?’ Bellona asks in a flirtatious voice.
‘What are you doing? That feels as if you are touching me all over my body and you are using your Nanoscanners to do it,’ Jaden says in a surprised voice.
‘They are now called fermionscanners and quarkeyes. I’m sending over some of my fermionscanners. They are full of nanobots that can quickly assist with your damaged and leaking optic-warp molecule converter,’ Bellona says.
‘Thanks, Bellona, thanks for saving me again.’
‘Let’s not make a habit out of this. I missed you,’ she says.
‘Yeah, um… same here,’ Jaden says bashfully.
‘Come on team, let’s stick to the plan,’ Marco says.
Bellona’s ship slows down for Marco and Bomani.
Trillions of nanobots quickly repair the molecule converter. Marco and Bomani’s ships connect together behind Bellona’s. The DEW begins to slow down. A vortex anti-neutrino shield forms in front of the ships. The ships form and connect a reverse vortex matrix shield. The DEW attempts to decelerate as the solar winds become increasingly stronger. All three ships fire a plasma tractor beam towards the DEW.
‘Where you going DEQ? Stick around,’ Jaden snaps.
All four ship molecules connect together and they quickly accelerate in speed. They quickly pass Mercury’s orbit. Jaden sees the optic-warp molecule converter is stable and it goes online. The ships move at 279,000 mps while increasing speed and dragging the DEW with them. The DEW spins in circles trying to get away from the sun’s radiation and solar winds.
‘No! Let me go! I can’t endure the star’s heat and molecule energy,’ the DEQ says.
‘Your goose is cooked. You look like a lobster that is about to be put into a pot of hot water,’ Jaden snaps.
The four ships ram through and quickly destroy an Earth Solar Probe Spacecraft that was orbiting near the sun. The spaceships reach 371,098 mps and begin to glow. The outside temperature reaches 6200°F. They reach one million miles from the sun’s surface. The temperature outside passes 10,798°F. Jaden sees a subspace path to the Proxima Centauri A.
‘I’ll be back for you Jaden Marino, we will meet again,’ she says in a trembling voice.
‘Yeah yeah, don’t forget your suntan lotion and say hi to Obi-Wan Kenobi for me,’ Jaden says.
Subspace opens up and the ships breakdown into small molecules a couple of thousand miles from the sun’s surface. The ships slingshot into subspace. The DEW continues through the sun’s corona and smashes into the surface at high speed. Huge solar flares explode upwards hundreds of thousands of miles into space. Jaden hears echoes of the DEQ screaming through optic-warp. The solar flare energy explodes towards the solar system in all directions. Kim continues to look towards the sky for Jaden. She holds her chest wondering what happened to him.
Earth Thursday September 11, 2018
Kim is back in Virginia at a funeral at a cemetery. Dark grey clouds are set overhead and slowly move towards the east. The wind blowing from the west is pushing rain onto people’s feet. It is pouring down rain and she is wearing an all black dress. She learned that her father died in the federal prison in Buckeye. Ex-President Robinson had her father put in there the same time she was, and he was there when it was blown up. She wasn’t aware at the time he was in a general population area. The funeral speaker is saying kind words about Kim’s father. She mourns her father, while Sabrina and James stand nearby her. Sabrina is holding her right hand very tightly. Kim is crying and her left hand wipes away the tears with a white tissue. The mood is somber, sad and remorseful. The sound of rain bounces off the tombstones, off people’s umbrellas and off the grassy ground. There are dozens of businessmen and friends of her father here. James has on a black suit and Sabrina has on an all black dress. James is holding a huge umbrella over himself, Kim and Sabrina. The rain bouncing off the top of the umbrella reminds Kim of the hundreds of feet chasing behind her at the Taipei 101 building. Kim cries and thinks about Jaden, she wishes he were here with her to comfort her. She didn’t hear from him and doesn’t know if he is alive. Sabrina is also mourning for the lost of her mother. Kim steps forward from under the umbrella and looks at her father’s coffin. The funeral director stops speaking and gives Kim her moment. The rain soaks her hair and runs down her face and mixes with her tears. She wails and grieves for her father that she loved so much. A low sounding thunder echoes in the far background.
A week goes by and Kim stays at her father’s house. On a clear night, she stargazes in the backyard with a mind control Meade telescope. She is looking towards the Andromeda Galaxy. The dark sky is clear of any clouds and millions of stars light up the night. The crickets are communicating to each other in the bushes and trees around the backyard. An owl is hooting from a distance. Sabrina comes out of the house while getting a piggyback ride on Max’s back.
“I totally want one. I love this R.M.E.C. This guy is so smart, intelligent and strong. You gave him so many cool upgrades, from having a doctor’s education, to having the knowledge of a lawyer and having all history downloaded into his memory. I can have him carry me around everywhere!” Sabrina yells while she has her arms around his neck.
“Hey Sabrina, how’s it going?” Kim says in a sad voice, while looking through the telescope with one eye.
“It is going very well,” she replies.
“You know Max’s nanobatteries last about twelve hours.”
“I know, I’m going to charge him when I go inside. Nanobatteries are the best. It’s about time cell phones have 500 hours of talk time on one charge. Still looking for Jaden? Any sign of him?”
Kim turns around to look at Sabrina and Max. Sabrina jumps off Max’s back.
“Yes, I am still looking for him. I don’t see any signs of him at all. I miss him so much already,” Kim says.
“I can’t believe you were out here every night for the past week looking for a sign of Jaden through that telescope. You must really love him with all your heart; that is so awesome.”
“I do love him, I don’t know what I’m going to do without him. I feel as if I lost everything in my life now. I lost my father and the love of my life in a week,” she says while a tear runs from her eye.
Sabrina gives Kim a hug. Max stands there analyzing her words.
“It will be okay, you still have me. I’ll be here for you if you need me. We can create an R.M.E.C. support group for lonely women,” Sabrina says jokingly.
Kim laughs while sniffling. Sabrina opens her eyes wide as she focuses on the sky behind Kim.
“What is that blue light there?” Sabrina asks while pointing. Kim quickly turns around and looks in the telescope. The telescope automatically adjusts and she sees a flying glowing blue heart with small white light particles moving around it. Under the bright heart, yellow glowing letters begin to appear.
“What do you see? What is it?” Sabrina asks excitedly.
“A glowing blue heart and…and..and..” she says with a smile on her face, while sniffling.
“And what? And what? Let me see, let me see,” Sabrina asks while jumping up and down.
“Do you need me to determine which star you are looking at?” Max asks.
“Shhh Max,” Sabrina and Kim say at the same time.
“It reads, ‘Will you Marry me Miss Kimberly Chan?’ ” Kim says while fainting and falling backwards. Max quickly moves to catch Kim from hitting the ground. Sabrina has a shocked look on her face and she covers her mouth.
“Do you need an ambulance, Miss Chan?” Max asks over and over again.
His annoying questioning fades away into the background.
November 17, 2018 Over two months later.
The Gravhawk is floating invisibly outside of Jupiter. Jaden and Kim are floating ar
ound naked holding each other. The roaring movement and vibrations of the planet are felt throughout their bodies. They can see all the stars and moons slowly moving around them. The red spot on Jupiter is spinning in circles in front of them.
‘I feel like we are naked together floating in space. This is cool that the ship is invisible, but we aren’t. This is a woman’s fantasy dream baby. The stars are so bright from here and Jupiter is mindboggling up close. I still can’t get over the size of this huge planet. The storms, the motion and the sound of Jupiter up close are amazing. It sounds like a giant live machine,’ Kim says telepathically.
‘I’m glad you like it sweetie. Going down there is scary though,’ he says while kissing her. ‘Hey AI, I was wondering, can someone see us naked from Earth through a telescope?’
‘No they can’t. You two are like the size of ants on the moon being viewed from Earth through a telescope,’ AI says.
‘Good. I would hate to be on the Internet in a celebrity sex scandal video,’ Jaden says while chuckling.
‘I feel bad leaving Sabrina on Earth by herself, it’s too bad she didn’t want to come,’ Kim says.
Jaden replies, ‘She has plenty of new friends now that she inherited your father’s money. I’m sure she will be okay. My mother agreed to check in on her from time to time. Sabrina is eighteen now and I’m sure she can take care of herself. Your family in Taiwan said they would watch over her also, I’m sure she will be okay. She is starting college in January.’
‘We are going to come back to Earth in fifteen years and she is going to have R.M.E.C.’s all over the house. Telling us she married them all and explaining polygamy is now legal for marrying robots,’ Kim says while chuckling.
Jaden laughs while rubbing his hand up and down her body.
‘I can picture that happening. I’m glad I was able to set up the www.BIO-Sapien.com website for her and friends before we left. We can send wormhole transmissions towards Earth from Andromeda to update the webpage,’ he says.
‘I can’t believe e-mails sent to [email protected] are redirected into space. You are going to be getting a lot of e-mails from people,’ she says.
‘I know, I think it’s cool. I’ll probably receive them in a couple of years if they hit the right worm hole sector.’
‘What lovely piano song is this playing darling?’ She asks.
‘Let’s see, this is one of my favorites, Amelie Movie Soundtrack, track 4 Comptine d’un Autre Ete.’
‘Very sexy baby, you said that in French. Turn the volume up.’
The sound echoes around them from many directions.
‘So, Mrs. Marino are you ready for the ride of your life?’ Jaden asks.
‘This sex ride you just gave me in zero gravity under these stars was the ride of my life. Wow baby, you just topped our sex in the Bugattee chase,’ she replies.
‘I’m glad I topped it. Buckle up, I mean fetal position up.’
They crouch into the fetal position and liquids quickly fill up around their floating bodies. The Gravhawk reappears around them and they quickly jump into warp light speed.
‘So, how do you like my newly remodeled ship baby? I can get thirty light-years on a solar flare gallon. 0-186,500 mps in under three seconds,’ he says.
‘I like it, it looks new to me. Where are we heading now?’
‘We are going to check out the planet Gliese 581c on our way to the Andromeda Galaxy.’
‘Wait a second, are you checking this planet out for those MASA scientists?’ She asks.
‘No, not at all. We are going to visit a nice vacant honeymoon planet, where it’s just me and you. Remember? Adam and Eve? Me and you?’
‘Well, okay baby. I’m happy as long as I’m with you.’
‘While you wait outside your body, I have my version of the BIO-Sapien movie of my adventures for you to watch. It is a combination of my memories and nanoscanner visions. I left a copy with an executive producer and book writer on Earth. They loved this story and want to turn it into a trilogy series. But first they need it on paperback and Virtual Kindle reader. Someone already started writing the book from watching the visions. I just hope they don’t mess up my movie from the book.’
Kim says, ‘Hollywood is known for screwing up books to movie stories. They should always choose to do the movie first and write the book second. Okay, I’ll watch it in a second.’
‘I can’t believe the BIO-Sapien movie is going to cost 125 million dollars to produce and they estimate it to gross 300-400 million dollars worldwide. Some production company by the name of Imagination Factory is designing the video game, comic book, audio books, and action figures,’ he says.
‘Wow, that is amazing, so much is going to be done around your adventure. At least it will be easy for them to setup the screenplays since they have the nanoscanner visions in front of them. I wonder who they will get to play me.’ She asks.
‘At that cheap production cost, probably an unknown Asian actor. She is probably trying out for American Actor Idol now,’ he chuckles.
‘They will probably get a washed up actor to play you then Jaden.’
‘Why would they do that? I don’t think so. I can see Will Smith’s son playing me,’ he says.
‘You are dreaming, the movie will definitely go over budget. That teenager is a high paid actor and would push the movie production cost up to over 150 million,’ she says.
‘Hmmm, yeah. Watch the movie, Mrs. Smartass Marino.’
Kim begins to watch the movie at high speed. Thirty-five minutes pass by and they pass Venus at the speed of light.
‘What are these images of you having sex with Bellona in a bed in your ex-girlfriend’s house while you were on Xenos?’ Kim asks curiously.
‘What are you talking about? That isn’t in the movie. I was dreaming, I was having sex with Amy and I met her at school, then we went to her parents’ house; Bellona isn’t in the dream.’
‘I can see right now that Bellona bitch is riding you in the air and the stars are around you. I don’t see Amy anywhere in sight. So you did have sex with that alien lady?’ She asks and continues, ‘I knew something was going on between you two. You told me you never had sex in a zero gravity environment.’
‘Come on sweetie, you’re talking crazy, that didn’t happen. It was a dream with Amy, and we were at her house fooling around,’ Jaden pleads.
‘See for yourself, alien perv man,’ Kim says politely as they pass Mercury.
Jaden looks at the images and replays it back. Everything is glowing around the ship. This surprises Jaden and he becomes speechless. Kim waits to see what Jaden is about to say.
‘Oh shit…holy shit… Where did that come from?’ Jaden thinks to himself.
‘Well?’ She asks in a demanding voice and continues, ‘Holy shit isn’t an answer. I can hear you thinking to yourself also.’
Everything is completely bright around them.
‘Look baby! We are about to crash into our sun!’
She looks through a nanoeye and bright lights are everywhere around them. Their human bodies glow and turn translucent. The Gravhawk disappears into optic-warp at 15 sly. There is a huge flash of light near the sun. The Gravhawk computer reads: 92 pairs of chromosomes DNA converted over with Gravhawk’s molecules, subspace is 100% stable.
