Races (Sci-fi Fantasy)
TIMELINE
2012 was the year of great expectations; everybody was expecting something to happen even if they did not know exactly what to expect. Rumors, news, prophesy, fact, pseudo-fact and everything else in between flooded the internet, publications and even audio-visual renderings.
Out of the slew of all that was out there two lines of agreement could be made out:
1. 2012 was going to bring about total destruction of the earth, well some even went as far as saying the whole universe would be destroyed. This was the most popular out there. The other not to popular info was:
2. 2012 was going to bring about the golden age or the age of enlightenment. Well people were naturally divided around these two mutually exclusive ideas. But not entirely because another group promised that “rapture” was going to take place and that those who remained would have to continue through another cycle of existence on earth, while those that ascended would go to another dimension or a heaven another plane; planet etc.
Well, with all this information out there about what could happen, it could not be denied that where ever there is smoke there is fire, since this was not a purely invented catastrophe story, and since the Mayan calendar happened to end on December 21st 2012, although we don’t know whether this really stated the end of the world; an age or just that maybe there was another stone tablet where the calendar continued just like our current calendars usually occupy more than one page.
Many people did not bother to test this possibility, and a host of other native peoples like the Hopis had predicted that some kind of disaster always ends an age, and from the nature of things around the world it was looking like our time was the prophesied time, even though there was much destruction during the world war I wonder why people did not think that that was the end of the world. But anyways with respect to the popularity and some pseudoscientific thinking, it was well worth it to hold the ideas that were floating around with some inkling of importance, well at least for me.
This is not the first time the world was deemed to come to an end. In consideration, let us not go too far into past; let us go to the year 2000 or the millennium, very close to 2012. Well it really looks like this could have been the end of the world. Come to check it out it was discovered that computers would not be able to set their dates to the year 2000 since they mostly displayed their dates with two digits and thus in the year 2000 the computer would write the date out as 00 and thus would not be able to distinguish between this date and 1900 or 2100.
It was speculated by very well meaning and intelligent people all around the world that this would lead to corruption of the computers operation leading to unpredictable chaos. This chaos could in the end lead to the ruining of the world and thus its ends. Since almost everything at that time was speculated to be controlled or at the least assisted by computer technology. I believed it all when it was the thing around the world, and I kept on wondering by most someone could not post date a typical desktop computer to 31st December 1999 and see what happens to the computer when the date reaches 1st January 2000. At least post dating a computer is not that difficult. People were force to upgrade their computers and make them Y2K compliant, that always made me laugh. When the D-day came I don’t think anything of significance happened except that before this day, there was widespread purchase of the windows® millennium software as the solution to the looming Y2K crises.
Nothing in the form of end of world events, except as I mention above huge sales of a computer operating system that was meant to avert the crises. Well something significant happened the following year, in 2001. The bombing of the world trade center nearly put us in an end of the world position, but luckily it was averted and this is I, Ogah Ejini, writing sometime in the near or far future as the case might be, depending on whether you are reading this book later or earlier, of a time when something real that had the possibility of ending life on earth happened, you could also call it the end of the world as we knew it.
What really happened in 2012, well as I write now from the future nothing much really happened, but wait, nothing! Well if the idea of alien races is new to you, well something new did happen.
As it came to be known in the future, 2012 December 21st was the day set in prehistoric times for the outward revelation of the identity of certain extraterrestrial beings who had long left earth. I say outward revelation because as far back as 1970 these beings, whose return date was accurately set for 2012 December, were already in our solar system, some of them in invisible crafts, awaiting for the hour when they would make their appearance on earth. Close to this date they had made frantic effort at enlightening the world about their existence.
When I was a kid I always wondered what lay out of our skies, well I was not the only one who wondered about this fact because it think it is a natural thing for children to be curious all the time and the curiosity about what lay outside they sky was just one of their many questions they sought to be answered. And also like all children of my age who had this challenge of contemplating the skies, I was told to look downward and not up by my dad. So I stopped looking up but I never stopped thinking about what was up.
When I was grown enough I started making my questions loudly known, but was given a shut up from a religious book that I was raised in. it told me that God created heaven and earth, well it did not mention the universe, except by earth it meant to say the universe. Also this book made my understand that heaven was up and hell was down so we were always told to look up to God.
As my knowledge of astronomy increased, it became clear to me that God was not in the sky and rather the universe was much larger that the earth because it included the earth and other planets like the earth and even multiple suns. I also learnt that the size of our planet relative to the rest of the universe is like a speck of dust on your table in comparison with the whole earth, well even this is not accurate. So with all this confusion in my head I sought to find a total solution.
I did not disregard the idea that God who created earth must have been up because he could have come from another planet, fortunately as usual I was not the only one contemplating this. So my belief in a heaven increase as not only the place you go when you die, but I think for me it was just another planet, were a group of beings who must have advanced way beyond us on earth could have created earth at an earlier time. But the hole in my think was that if this was the case that means I am positing that there are other beings in space and that means God did not create the earth alone. May a God created them and they created our planet and us inclusive or they say a ball of earth floating in an orbit around and sun and decided it was the ideal place to create man and did so.
All in all, the idea that there is a heaven that is up gives rise to the thought that there is somewhere outside this planet, be it heaven or just another planet with a civilization.
As it happened, these aliens in order to broadcast their presence had to make secret missions to earth. They contacted those they had observed and understood that they were mature to and rational enough to handle the possibility of encounter with other worldly beings. Naturally many world governments were contacted and even individuals.
The next agenda for this other worldly beings was to create attention so they can be in the public know. Before it skips me I must mention that they did not all return in the 70’s. there are many groups of these beings with varying agendas. Although they are in one councils, at least 95% of them, they have all agreed to come to earth no later than the beginning of the 20th century. So a few of them had come earlier than the 70s, the exact dates I am not very much aware.
To reach the general public they had to come up with some form of advertisement and the most obvious would be to use the powerful means of the media and thus movies about aliens by the most powerful alien broadcasting network Hollywood.
Knowing full well that the only way to grab the attention of sleep walking humanity is through fear, at least you jump out of sleep most of the times when you are having a nightmare, they major theme of the movies they sponsored was to spread fear about otherworldly creatures. Although not absolutely all the movies were to spread fear amongst people, some where actually used to depict otherworldly beings as harmless, majority were to promote fear, although not intentionally, but this was the only way to get major attention from somnambulists. And it did gain the required attention, sooner or later the whole world was spread with fear about aliens, and the possibility of an invasion.

This fear made most of the Hollywood producers laugh their hearts out as most of them have regular contact with this aliens. Another agenda was to communicate the idea of intelligent forms who were not always humanoid or what we would normally call human, but possessed most human abilities and were capable of super human feats. This was the advertising of the green man alien, large head, big black eyes. The purpose was to make the human consciousness accept the idea of the existence of this kinds of beings as well as their super intelligence. Although majority of the aliens are humanoid and cannot be distinguished from an earthian if they walk the streets, the more awkward types were in favor of the public since their images were tantalizing. Now most people would only accept the green alien kind as the only kind out there although they are as diverse as even the earthly humans are.
Well but you would say that the mayans had the calendar, they had it because the confederations of extraterrestrial beings who have various interests on earth had come back to get their goods and that date was not the agreed date of a particular group of these beings but all of them. And they had already arrived around the planets but waited for the day to appear.
Well anyone who was around that very period must have witnessed their arrival and want went on after that. That is not of my interest at this very moment. Of interest to me is what happened after the 10 years that ensued.
For a period of ten years after the onset of 2012, the E.T.s roamed the earth freely. Most of them had contacted people of earth long before their coming so to this group of people it was no surprise. But to the others who were not expecting them, shock and mass hysteria ensued. But no sooner than they started, they were all quelled to acquiescence by mind control.
A few burst of extremely low frequency pulsed through the entire atmosphere of the earth using the north and south magnetic fields as frequency generators, the same way headphones are used to generate the pulsed binaural beats in brain wave entrainment, and the people were calm and accepted the new situations of things.
Various E.T. groups gathered students around the world teaching and training them for their various purposes. Some were being trained on the basics of time travel so they could follow their respective E.T. leaders back to the future where they came from, others were taught on how to cross timeliness to other alternative earths, which had different pasts and future destines. Other were being trained physically for the arduously long space journey to far out planets, their bodies were being prepared to withstand the intensity of energies they would encounter on their way, even though they would be frozen all along. And various other groups were being instructed on other things, of which are too numerous for me to describe here. I just named a few. You might ask were I fell into, well I am in another timeline right now and if you are view this document it is because my method of transmission worked. I am sending this document back to 2012 so that it can be view on the internet there. This is basically about the future post 2022 – 2025, the darkest days of the planet, specifically 2052.
With all the E.T. activities you might expect that all people will be raptured to other planes of activity? Well that did not happen as some stayed back on earth, not because they were abandoned by the E.T.s but because they refused to leave. And totally it was not their fault. They were tired. Just after 2012, a new piece of information came out of wherever it does come out stating that the real doomsday wasn’t really a day after all but a period. This period was to start exactly 10 years after 2012 in 2022. This was the start the 3 year darkness ending in 2025, as it turned out the first psychic who channeled the 3 days darkness did not really know that it was three years because the E.T. who channeled it to her forgot that three days on his planet was actually 1095 earth days, so it turned out to be three years darkness not three years darkness.
So what happened in this three years of darkness? Well, it turned out that people had ignored a little prophesy in the book of Amos in the bible and in a little known science fiction book, well the writer of the book claimed that his information was also in Nostradamus’s predictions but since I did not personally read Nostradamus’s books my self I would not say I can really confirm the presence of the prophesy in the book. Enough explanation and let us get to the matter.

Enough explanation and let us get to the matter.
The prophesy is about the entry of a second sun into our solar system. From what was described earth would be rolled in a ride to a new orbit in the solar system as the gravitational force of both suns, old and new, moves it to its new position. It is this journey through space that would cause the three years of darkness because the atmosphere would be temporarily torn out only to reform later when the earth settled in its orbit. Due to the destruction that would ensue in the journey, the sky would black out leaving the earth dark for approximately three whole years. Well this would occur only in this timeline, that it is why it is called the end of time. After this period the turbulence on earth will calm down but life outside would be very much unbearable, like the inhospitable environments on most of the planets in the solar system in this time line.
An event like this has happened in some other timeline while in some others it has never and will never happen. Unluckily for us earthians of this particular timeline, it is happening to us.
The arrival of the E.T.s was to signify this end, so that viable strains of ages of experiment could be taken to safer places where they could continue their evolution. Remember I said viable not perfect. Those who refuse to go would say back and face all the events that will come to pass.
In particular two intellectuals did not just ignore the information like most others did. Being extremely intelligent in their own right they viewed the coming down of the Aliens and all the activities on earth that followed for the next ten years as significant and decided to devote their time and resources to create a survival plan that would be initiated incase this things happened. They were being proactive with it all and decided that they would independently come up with a survival plant since they were friend at college. All this was during their Doctorate program in 2012.
So they came up with a plan. It was obvious that the surface of the earth was going to be rampaged, and since they did not want to commit their fates to the E.T.s they decided to create a plant that would enable them survive the earth in those times.
While most of the billionaires on earth, who knew from exclusive sources that a destruction was imminent, spent their massive fortunes on space programs, both Friends Alvin and Linz devised a plan that although conceived separately, required that they go underground.
So their plans were the same, go underground go deep deep underground. They realized that since their plans were similar there was no need to work independently so decided to collaborate and bring their energies together to work speedily.
Both Alvin and Linz were polymaths, but Linz specialized in elementary particle physics while Alvin was a genetic engineer. Combining their individual genius they created a powerful plan for survival and designed a city which they named Aquarius. The city was an underground city that generated its own food and energy requirements. The estimated population was one million people.
Getting people to accept this alternative was not a difficulty because people were already dead scared of the alternative. Many were not of the opinion of going to live with aliens and many did not have the funds to go and live on martian colonies, in this particular timeline. A timeline engulfed a whole universe. Some billionaire banded up together and put a task forward to some scientist to create off world colonies and most of them were successful.
An event like this has happened in some other timeline while in some others it has never and will never happen. Unluckily for us earthians of this particular timeline, it is happening to us.

Some billionaire banded up together and put a task forward to some scientist to create off world colonies and most of them were successful.
It turned out that NASA was not just exploring space for the general good of the people of America but was definitely interested in setting up one of this off world colonies funded by the US government and interested parties. 2012 was the year the construction of the mars colony started in earnest, before that it was just explorations. The curiosity rover that was sent was just one object out of thousands secretly sent with personel and materials to start the construction of a huge domed city.
Although mass would be pushed away too by the incoming sun, the devastation would not be much as they had already calculated with their simulations. The geodesic structures invented by the little known inventor Buckminster Fuller R. would withstand the wind pressures on the surface of mars and since in this timeline mars is mostly barren land, not much solid debris would be floating in the air. On earth on the other hand large debris would be floating, like cars and planes and building such dwellings would not safeguard.
So getting one million people to follow the AlvinLinz plan was not the difficult thing, the thing was getting someone rich enough to fund the plans since it cost enormous sums of money.
This difficulty was compounded by the fact that many billionaires did not like the idea of being locked up inside the surface of the earth and since the tectonics have been changing regularly during this period they did not consider it possible to stay inside the earth, so their only option apart from following the E.T.s was to leave the earth on their own. So they polled up their money and bought their seats for the NASA game.
Alvin and Linz had found a superior way to calculated tectonics and found out that no matter the variability that might engulf the whole system; some parts of the system would still be stable. They tested this variability on their superior simulation program and found out that the safest spot to build such a place would be in West Africa, since naturally Africa has the most stable continental shelf.
Although some NASA scientists had suggested this idea, their Billionaire financiers did not subscribe to it and preferred the plan to go out despite it being more expensive.
Luckily for Linz and Alvin, a Japanese billionaire who did not want to put all his eggs in one basket decided to invest in their €10 billion project. Since he had a total of €18 billion in cash, he gave them 10, invested 5 in the NASA mission and kept 3 for himself incase nothing really bad happened. As it turned out he left the planet with the NASA mission because his team of advisers analyzing new data suggested that they leave the planet. It was too late for his money though because the transfer to AlvinLinz account had already taken place.
Alvin and Linz created the AlvinLinz foundation for their project, and when the city was complete may 2022 an advertisement was already in place, and people were already applying.
They got an excess of about 10 million people applying so they had to come up with a selection criteria, which obvious was intelligence and health status. With the rate of decline in the health of the people in the western region of the world, few people were selected from that region. Most of those selected were from Asian, African and Mediterranean regions of the world. After a long arduous selection process they got their one million inhabitants.
Afterwards, long orientations programs were carried out in specially built quarters on the surface of the city. Psychological training on the requirements of living underground for long periods of time was carried out by trained specialist who were also amongst those selected. Even physical training was carried. The selectees were not allowed to go back to the world while they were here and from calculations the new sun was already entering the solar system. It was very difficult to see it because it did not illuminate until it entered the system so everything was based on probability and calculations.
The calculations detailed that it would happen on December of that year just as had been expected in 2012 and no other clue could be ascertained as most of the E.T.s had left the planet with their subjects. Those who were to go to the future had gone and those who were to cross timeliness had begun crossing. NASA had left with their last human cargo as of late 2020 and the last mission with scientist and more materials had left in early 2021. Their city was built successfully and the earthians were living there expecting the coming winds.
In early August while doing their regular daily routines, a dark cloud starting arising in the direction opposite the rising morning sun, it was very clear what could be happening and the camp alarm sounded as everyone started making for the tunnel gates. They had been trained over and over for this day so it was no big deal. Within a few minutes everyone was underground. As the last person entered, the huge metallic shaft lowered till it was closed, then behind it a huge bang, as a massive rock had hit the super strong unbendable allow.
Not everyone on earth got a chance to leave the planet, some people were left behind and they were ravaged by the forces of nature. Booms and Gbams everywhere, skyscrapers peeling off the floor like matchsticks. The whole cloud getting darker and darker with drizzles of rain, thunder. On the floor huge fire were set ablaze, surprising a large number of people had been left behind only a 140 million people out of the world’s population of 7.5 billion were in safe places.
So getting one million people to follow the AlvinLinz plan was not the difficult thing, the thing was getting someone rich enough to fund the plans since it cost enormous sums of money.

The calculations detailed that it would happen on December of that year just as had been expected in 2012 and no other clue could be ascertained as most of the E.T.s had left the planet with their subjects. Those who were to go to the future had gone and those who were to cross timeliness had begun crossing. NASA had left with their last human cargo as of late 2020 and the last mission with scientist and more materials had left in early 2021. Their city was built successfully and the earthians were living there expecting the coming winds.
In early August while doing their regular daily routines, a dark cloud starting arising in the direction opposite the rising morning sun, it was very clear what could be happening and the camp alarm sounded as everyone started making for the tunnel gates. They had been trained over and over for this day so it was no big deal. Within a few minutes everyone was underground. As the last person entered, the huge metallic shaft lowered till it was closed, then behind it a huge bang, as a massive rock had hit the super strong unbendable allow.
Not everyone on earth got a chance to leave the planet, some people were left behind and they were ravaged by the forces of nature. Booms and Gbams everywhere, skyscrapers peeling off the floor like matchsticks. The whole cloud getting darker and darker with drizzles of rain, thunder. On the floor huge fire were set ablaze, surprising a large number of people had been left behind only a 140 million people out of the world’s population of 7.5 billion were in safe places.
A surprising amount of religious people were left behind because they were expecting their Christ to come in a particular manner and he did not show up in that manner but showed up as a E.T. he did come through the sky as was prophesied and was on all T.V. networks for about a week and even on social networks on the internet. All eyes saw him as was stated in the books but very few accepted him that way. Those who trusted in him were trained and put aboard spaceships which shuttled them out of the planet to nearby planets to recuperate before they continued on their journey to the eastern end of the milky way galaxy where his home is. A place so beautiful even the word heaven would be an undoing of such beauty.
So while the remaining humans on earth were ravaged by the raw force of nature, the people of Aquarius were making their way down the tunnel shafts towards the tube trains that would take them more than 10 kilometers below the surface to their city. As they walked down, some of them mourned those they had left behind, while others were just too happy to be safe they did not care what happened outside. Outside the solid allow doors, they could hear the evil sounds of destruction.
ORIGINS
It’s the year 2052 and the separation of individuals into different races by skin color alone is now historical. Due to the intense mixing of different races on earth the distinction between the different races of the society continued to blur until it became very rare to find pure races on earth. Also compounding the issue was several cataclysms before this date that further dwindled the population of the earth and thus of individual races.
Now there was a new separation of races, because it seems humans have and endless taste for differences. The new separation was between the two major races of the world in this time. They are the morphs and the pures.
THE MORPHS
A genetic engineer, Professor Alvin discovered a way to activate several introns in the human genome. The intron is a non coding section of a gene that is usually cut out during gene translation in a process known splicing. The professor found out a way of making some of this introns become exons that can code for amino acids. The result was that with the intake of a particular pill containing nano bots that can cause changes at the DNA level of the cells, he could create a new race of beings, ones that could morph into the shape of any creature they think about.
This invention made the professor a trillionaire, because of the massive acceptance of this drug by the population. The sales were tremendous and constant, and he was even worshiped as a god because according to his followers, he created a new race of beings and thus deserves to be worshiped.
To market his new invention he found a company called: Morphnome, to not only cater for the needs of people who use his drugs but also to administer and monitor them, such that it was like everyone who activated the morph gene, as it was called, became part of a morph nation. He went beyond providing just medical care to providing philosophies by which the members of his race should adhere to, so that, as he promised them, they could realize more and more of the god given power. He was mostly referring to himself all the time.
Due to their ability to morph into varying shapes, even animal shapes or something they can just create out of their minds, they could be much stronger physically than any existing peoples on earth. But all this strength came at a price, their ability to instantly grow new body parts and instantly self heal from injury reduces their mental capacity heavily. They were more emotional than mental and although they could see vividly with their minds, they lack many mental skills that require left brain functionality. It was on this point that the pures had a very clear advantage over them. The pures were super intelligent, utilizing almost 60% mental capacity, and their elite members almost 80% mental capacity.
The morphs on the other had just had a very powerful imagination just like that of a child, this picture making capacity enable them to vividly picture and immediately assume the shape of any biological creature they imagined.
Due to their highly emotional lives, their appreciation of beauty far surpassed their desire for knowledge and science. They had a more artistic society than that of the pures. They lived highly sensual lives engaging themselves pleasure constantly and endlessly.
This made the morph race a very attractive option for members of the general public as they opted for the change immediately they could afford. People saved for years just to be able to buy Professor Alvin’s drug. For some people who already had some physical debility it was a welcome option of hope. But some people just took on the option just for the lust of it. Their numbers were well above those of the pures.
The morph cities were tremendous architectural wonders, personally designed by the only man amongst them that had a brain, the polymath Alvin. Since they could not create technology owing to their poor mental development and Alvin was busy making money than pondering technological problems, most of the technology they had was what was publicly available for sale by the pures.
Out of the 10 billion people on earth by the year 2052, 80% had activated the morph gene as it was called.
Not all members of the morph race were loyal to Prof. Alvin. Although the patronized him for their maintenance, they rather choose to live in isolation away from the morph city.
They also did not bear any antagonism against the pures, as most of them had taken the upgrade mainly because of health reasons, like self healing fast of growing back a failed organ.
The pures on the other hand took alternative and even better approaches to healing and they would not sacrifice their highly developed intellectual abilities for the fun of changing their form at will. One method they used was they old and tested brain wave entrainment which had advanced very well. Liquid immersions were used to rebuild organs that must have been damaged.
THE PURES
In contrast to the morphs that lived in cities to high in aesthetics and low in meaning, the pures lived in ultra advanced research cities. Although their cities were also beautiful, they were not superfluously designed and everything was built to function not just to amuse. One might expect that this would result in some ugly austere design, but the opposite is the case as these cities were built to mirror the intricacies and beauties of nature. Their architecture evoked a deep sense of harmony and balance due to the mathematical precision with which the forms were designed. They also used advanced materials which were decades ahead of what the morphs had.
The lifestyle of the pures is also very ordered and peaceful, all negative emotions had been overcome due to their highly refined mind. This was in contrast to that of the morphs that still had crime and the building configuration of their city did not have any definite order, although it would be expected of Alvin as an intellect to also pull a design stunt but that was not the case as he was more focused on his profiteering that in designing symmetry. He just wanted to lord over the people and their endless praises and worship just aided to fill his ego’s already over bloated lust. Everything from the lifestyle of the morphs, which was more ancient roman, disgusted the pures, they were amazed at it all and wished they could help in educating the morphs to live up to a higher standard.
Alvin was the sole judge, overseer, president everything, the final authority in all things.
Both races coexisted in different cities in isolation from each other, although the pures were displeased at the behavior of the morphs in relation to other free humans living in various parts of the world, they held their peace knowing that any interference would mean battle and losses on both sides. They knew that the morphs were instinctual in nature and would react badly if provoked even if slightly.
After the initial craze with the morph drug TA9352, and the subsequent wealth it brought for its creator, sales started declining because there were no new untapped markets waiting to be exploited. Costs were going higher and higher as the extravagant building and entertainment project were never stopping. The only new money he made was from selling maintenance for his race members. Money was also going away because he was constantly trying to win new markets through extravagant advertisements and giveaways. All these did little to but some more green in his coffers.
Every day the intellectual turn Trillionaire watched his cash flow graphs flatten and bottom. This disturbed him a lot and he desperately sought for solutions.
Besides the smaller independent cities occupied by the morphs and the naturals, these were those that did not perform the mental improvements of the pures nor took the TA9352, there were two major cities: the morph city is called NEW ATLANTIS, while the pures’ city is called AQUARIUS.
MARKET SHARE
Something had to be done to improve Alvin’s cash flow, a solution was desperately sought after. He knew all he had to do was sell to more people, but this time who else was left. The ads were costing him billions in conjunction with his giveaways, but the returns were not as juicy as expected.
Then in a flash he got it all. The solution to his problem was the largest organized population out there, the pures. But the problem now was that the pures had completely rejected the drug that is why they are called the pures. So he had to sell them an alternative because he really needed their population. So the idea he had was to sell them what he called an attenuated version of the therapy. Knowing fully well that their brain wave entrainment method of healing and their immersions took time to complete, he was presenting them an attenuated form of TA9352 which he called TA9352alpha. This would enable them to get healed 10 times faster than their own technologies would allow.
Everything seemed clear cut and accurate, the loss of mental powers, which was major side effect, was still not eliminated from the design he had in mind. Though from his speculations as he worked a pre-draft digital version on his table top computer monitor, the damage could be kept at a comfortable minimum, only reducing about 10% mental capacity, this he thought would be good enough for the pures to accept. He thought it a reasonable sacrifice.
In the hours that passed Alvin carefully worked out the new drug on his system aided by an artificial intelligence he created. Since it was not something too novel, just some simple modification, he had a working prototype in just a few hours.
Due to the general level of technological sophistication in these times, it was no longer necessary to test drugs on humans or animals. A full digital human model, generated from the human genome was available in the computer to test any drug. This model could be modified to cover different types of humans in the world, the effect of the drug on the digital models will determine its suitability in existing humans.
After the prototype was ready digitally, it went through a period of automated testing. Within a few minutes all test were done and the desired effect was achieved. The only problem now was that the one he just created caused way more mental damaged that he had included in his parameters so it need some more tweaking, which he could easily leave for the artificial intelligence to gobble up. Few minutes later a finished product with the desired effect.
Now the next hurdle to cross was to get Professor Linz, the leader of the pures to come over for a private demonstration. He would have gone to Aquarius him self but he was scared of the technology possessed by the Aquarians. His top genius and close worker, who had not taken his drug just like himself, Michelle had advised him that going to Aquarius was risky venture. She was very intelligent since she had not modified her DNA, although nowhere near the pures mentally, she could project and see the possibilities of his intention for visit being revealed to the pures as he entered their city.
It was rumored that for security purposes, the pures scanned the entire memory of anyone who visited their city for his or her intentions. This was done in nanoseconds, so fast that you were not even aware of it. Once a negative intention is detected, you will be apprehended by security. Although most visitors considered it a violation of their privacy, it was clearly stated in your visitor form that you mind will be scanned when you are at the proximity of the city gates.
Since the pures were naturally kind hearted, if not they would not have developed their minds to such astonishing levels, they found it totally ok. And since they also wanted other lower races to visit they put that security technology to guarantee their safety.
Michelle briefed Alvin completely on this and he decided even before she finished not to go. Another alternative was to create an Alvin clone and load it with the necessary technology and knowledge to identify it as Alvin but without the intention which the original Alvin had embedded in his neurons. But the pures had the kind of technology to also detect this fraud. So the only way they could at least hope that their intentions will not be seen was to ask for the impossible, to invite Linz.
After moments of contemplation, he decided to mail Linz. A message was drafted by Michelle using her own AI, which was almost a replica of her mentally, and sent to Alvin for review and approval. Alvin fully trusting in her abilities did not go through it to much detail before he sent it.
AQUARIUS
In Aquarius Linz was taking some children on a tour through their city, their parents had just been admitted to the city as new citizens. The pures wanted as much people as possible to come and live a new life in their city. They had a vision to one day cross into another dimension that would be entirely empty so they admitted people endlessly knowing that another earth dimension would be completely empty and free for all to populate. So whenever anyone was ready they admitted them. Their mathematical architecture which employed the use of geodesics could accommodate larger numbers of people than could be housed by the square based methods of Alvin. So over population was not their problem, because their technologies could make it possible for them to cater for their entire earth population which was 10 billion.
The entire city was dedicated to R. Buckminster Fuller, who had worked out the preliminaries for all their science and technology in his life time. The entire city was domed, but it was not built by hands or by any machining. It was literally grown over the whole city, a super-massive support-less structure.
Since the entire city was domed, the atmosphere and temperature was perfect. Although it was domed, you couldn’t see the roof of it when you looked up, as the material they used was transparent and also semi-permeable like a cell membrane to allow natural rain fall through, and also wind. But through the membrane everything was filtered through so no acid rain or bad gases could pass through.
All other structures were geodesic structures designed in the most fabulous of manners. The overarching domed roof was called the membrane. It was impossible to have an infection on any kind in this city. The only thing that ailed them was actually physical organ damage, because the fact that they were very scientific did not mean they were not also physical. They knew the value of exercise to strengthen the body so the engaged in very extreme form of exercise that was designed to make them very strong. Most times in this exercising, the movements and variation was so intense it would be limiting to design technologies to assure safety completely. It would take away the fun from the sports and since their minds were very developed they had little instinct for self preservation beyond the basic necessities so they pushed themselves very hard and the results lots of injuries. Death was very much minimized but also possible since no holds were barred in their adventuring.
For these kinds of extreme sports, they had large areas where they simulated real life adventures. Using their technologies whole terrains could be designed in computer and grown out there in the physical, using projection technologies, the same they used in growing their building. Their favorite sport was bike riding through very rugged terrain. They also created dangerous tides in their sea simulation section which they love to surf in.
They used telepathic mail alongside regular emails that are displayed on screen. So as Linz was talking to the kids about extinct species which they recreated, he received Alvin’s mail, he immediately excused himself, handing the kids over to his assistant while he attended to the call, all the while receiving all the message in his head both in audio and visual.
MEMORIES
He headed to his office where he sat for a while consumed in thoughts. He was so surprised at this call, since he had not spoken to Alvin in a very long time. Thoughts of how they were once friends and enjoyed playing with technology and science right from their days in college flooded his mind. This was a very nostalgic moment for him as he imagined what the world would have been like if both of them had collaborated.
The major cause of their division was the invention and development of the TA9352 drug. Linz compassionately advised his friend Alvin to discontinue the research back in college. Light persuasion turn into loud confrontation as Linz advised his friend to discontinue research, warning that although it would be widely accepted, it would reverse the evolution of humans who used it bringing to a very primitive state.
For a while Alvin pretended that he had discontinued the research even apparently deleting all the files relating to the project right in front of Linz. He did this to secure his friendship with Linz because there was a particular algorithm Linz was developing, a critical form of A.I. that would aid him in furthering his research, knowing well that if he preserved the friendship, Linz will freely offer him the code at its completion. He secretly encrypted and backed up the files in a remote server, accessing it locally using a highly encrypted connection to continue his work but he discontinued temporarily all physical experimenting, since they were roommates.
After college Linz stayed back to lecture, while Alvin left to work for a private research firm, an idea the Linz did not fancy since at the start of their college lives they both promised that they would share their knowledge to younger generations by becoming lectures. At this time Alvin had already secured the A.I. program and it worked really well beating his expectations. He knew that with it he could now finish the job in less time that he had anticipated.
He chose to work with the research firm so he could also secretly use their resources fund his research which he did in his basement. He also made sure his new job was as far from his friend as possible so that there would be no surprise visit. While his friend remained in the east coast, he moved west.
The worst day of Linz life was the day he turned on the TV which he didn’t use regularly but just had a hunch that day to watch the news. Right in front of him was Alvin launching the very product he had so protested against. He did not only feel betrayed but was scared to hell. He now saw the past in a whole new perspective. He remembered several moves he had watch Alvin perform that were suspicious but he never paid attention. He almost started blaming himself for letting such monstrosity to be committed right in front of his eyes, but he held himself back from regret with his strong will and went on to seek solutions to the problem.
He knew humanity would never be the same again, he knew Alvin would be worshiped like a god. The clear solution for him was to become powerful too so he could secure some people before they are too lured by Alvin, which he hurriedly did.
At the university he graduated with double honors one in genetic engineering and the other in artificial intelligence, which had broken off from mainstream computer science to become an independent course on its own. The very A.I. program that he gave to Alvin had been in high demand from various corporate powers who wished to use it to dominate each other. Linz who was normally a man of high moral value, knew he had to commit a small sin against the corporate to save the generality of humanity, a kind of robin-hood-like action was needed if he was to secure the funds he needed.
So while the remaining humans on earth were ravaged by the raw force of nature, the people of Aquarius were making their way down the tunnel shafts towards the tube trains that would take them more than 10 kilometers below the surface to their city. As they walked down, some of them mourned those they had left behind, while others were just too happy to be safe they did not care what happened outside. Outside the solid allow doors, they could hear the evil sounds of destruction.

So as Linz was talking to the kids about extinct species which they recreated, he received Alvin’s mail, he immediately excused himself, handing the kids over to his assistant while he attended to the call, all the while receiving all the message in his head both in audio and visual.
MEMORIES
He headed to his office where he sat for a while consumed in thoughts. He was so surprised at this call, since he had not spoken to Alvin in a very long time. Thoughts of how they were once friends and enjoyed playing with technology and science right from their days in college flooded his mind. This was a very nostalgic moment for him as he imagined what the world would have been like if both of them had collaborated.
The major cause of their division was the invention and development of the TA9352 drug. Linz compassionately advised his friend Alvin to discontinue the research back in college. Light persuasion turn into loud confrontation as Linz advised his friend to discontinue research, warning that although it would be widely accepted, it would reverse the evolution of humans who used it bringing to a very primitive state.
For a while Alvin pretended that he had discontinued the research even apparently deleting all the files relating to the project right in front of Linz. He did this to secure his friendship with Linz because there was a particular algorithm Linz was developing, a critical form of A.I. that would aid him in furthering his research, knowing well that if he preserved the friendship, Linz will freely offer him the code at its completion. He secretly encrypted and backed up the files in a remote server, accessing it locally using a highly encrypted connection to continue his work but he discontinued temporarily all physical experimenting, since they were roommates.
After college Linz stayed back to lecture, while Alvin left to work for a private research firm, an idea the Linz did not fancy since at the start of their college lives they both promised that they would share their knowledge to younger generations by becoming lectures. At this time Alvin had already secured the A.I. program and it worked really well beating his expectations. He knew that with it he could now finish the job in less time that he had anticipated.
He chose to work with the research firm so he could also secretly use their resources fund his research which he did in his basement. He also made sure his new job was as far from his friend as possible so that there would be no surprise visit. While his friend remained in the east coast, he moved west.
The worst day of Linz life was the day he turned on the TV which he didn’t use regularly but just had a hunch that day to watch the news. Right in front of him was Alvin launching the very product he had so protested against. He did not only feel betrayed but was scared to hell. He now saw the past in a whole new perspective. He remembered several moves he had watch Alvin perform that were suspicious but he never paid attention. He almost started blaming himself for letting such monstrosity to be committed right in front of his eyes, but he held himself back from regret with his strong will and went on to seek solutions to the problem.
He knew humanity would never be the same again, he knew Alvin would be worshiped like a god. The clear solution for him was to become powerful too so he could secure some people before they are too lured by Alvin, which he hurriedly did.
At the university he graduated with double honors one in genetic engineering and the other in artificial intelligence, which had broken off from mainstream computer science to become an independent course on its own. The very A.I. program that he gave to Alvin had been in high demand from various corporate powers who wished to use it to dominate each other. Linz who was normally a man of high moral value, knew he had to commit a small sin against the corporate to save the generality of humanity, a kind of robin-hood-like action was needed if he was to secure the funds he needed.
Since the big names that were contacting him wanted to use this technology secretly to stay a step ahead of each other, he decided that he would also secretly sell it to all of them that contacted him. The same exact version of the program, but right inside the code undetectable to both humans and A.I. alike he created a kind of harmless bug that limited the intelligence of the program at a particular time, beyond which it would not generate any novelties again bringing back the same old solution new problems, stagnating the entire process. And since the program ran automatically when integrated with a company’s information system it would be impossible to detect this flaw, but it will be there making sure that all that used it would be stagnated at a particular point of development.
As soon as he accepted to sell the program at a billion dollars apiece to each of his secret buyers, the monies started rolling in. after selling to about 14 different global tycoons that knew about it, he stopped sales and immediately started drafting plans to build Aquarius.
THE TRIP
Alongside his female companion Dora and two 7 foot tall body guards, Linz move towards his gravlev device. They all entered the dumbbell shaped class geodesic which had a personality of its own because as they entered it requested their location, “Atlantis, Dora said”. As so it lifted off cleanly from the floor and headed out towards the perimeter of the dome of their city. At the check point, their credentials were validated and DNA scanned, no one was exempt from this. After which approval given to their craft and they headed out of the city in the wilderness outside. They glided very and used several anti-detection mechanisms to avoid been seen by anyone watching, because a lot of people are always watching especially sophisticated robbers who had all the technology and more than the US army had in 2012.
After about 30 minutes of traveling at the speed of sound, Linz and his team arrived at the perimeters of the city, unlike their home Aquarius, there was no protective dome surrounding the city, rather as they approached they were radioed by Atlantean air space authorities and directed to a landing site where they would be checked before entry into the other regions of the city.
Alvin who was expecting them had given instructions as regards their arrival, and told his security guards to allow them to enter the city speedily.
As the gravlev approached ever closer, it turned off its stealth devices as instructed by Dora and descended low enough to be detected by the Atlantean security team. They were instructed to land in the checking area.
On recognition that this was the expected team from Aquarius, they were speedily directed to Alvins administrative tower.
ARRIVAL INTO THE MORPH CITY
Linz and his team docked on the side of the morph headquarters building where a diffusive glass (a kind of transparent material that rarifies and virtually disappears to allow objects pass through after which it re-strengthens itself to be about 10 times stronger than steel) material opened to let them into the building.
The building was immense and aesthetically pleasing. It was built like a massive hourglass with no staircases or elevators in it as everybody who entered the building where given a gravity defying pan-like device, which enabled them move to and from varying areas of the building. It was equipped with sufficient AI to know the location you seek so it can take you there, it was also omnidirectional.
Totally impressive but primitive as compared to the standards of the pure breeds, who already use teleportation as a basic form of transportation within their city, the pures could teleport human or other objects or even whole buildings. Unlike the morphs who still constructed buildings the old brick and mortar way, the pures projected their whole city holographically. The plan of the city would be designed in a minuscule version and using their matter generator they would project it. The matter that was generated was a very fine type and had a lot of properties that every day matter lacked.
Linz was taken to the office of Alvin which was detached from the entire building, a circular structure that literally floated above the hourglass structure, supreme novelty from the morphs but basic for the pures.
The entire building was filled with mysteriously looking people, people who had morphed their shape completely or partially. They were of different varieties, from those who were complexioned with various color across the entire spectrum to 10 – 15 foot giants and even were wolf looking creatures.
This morph HQ building was like the city mall where everything from special foods to 3d characters, which people could use as models to morph to, were sold. This was big biz and everybody in the new Atlantis came over to purchase various items from time to time.
THE MEETING
Alvin was seated on a throne made of gold and guarded by two beautiful, bizarre looking creatures. They were horned with scales on their skin and with a tail. From their looks you could tell that whatever these creatures were they were female.
As Linz entered the door with his squad Alvin rushed to welcome him with a warm smile gleaming out of his face. Alvin who controlled everything in the morph city always got himself the state of the art technology at all times, everyone in new Atlantis followed after him. Most of his so called inventions were inferior copies of what was used in Aquarius. He succeeded in staying on top of affairs by periodic displays of his so called inventions. This made the people look up to him like a god, since they had limited intelligence due to the brain damage sustained by their morphing, anything Alvin revealed made them worship him the more, and this was exactly how he liked things to remain.
In an attempt to impress his visitors he made a chair appear from thin air for them, but unfortunately as one of the guards sat down, he fell right to the floor, because a malfunction caused the chair to disappear again, obviously embarrassed, he confessed that the chair was a ‘work in progress’.
Alvin a man of fun proceeded to entertain his guests, in another attempt to impress, tapped a spot on his glass table/monitor to start a holographic projection that filled the entire room with a documentary about the pleasures of living in new Atlantis, which was everything from their brutal games, to very sensual scenes, nothing of which interested the team from Aquarius.
After about 15 minutes the show was over. While the show was going on Alvin watched his guests to see their level of interest, and because the pures a of a high concentrative nature naturally, their focus mislead Alvin to thinking that they were interested in the show, which made him try to set up another documentary. But at this point Linz grew impatient and objected. He requested that Alvin go ahead with the main agenda for the day and that they were satisfied with the entertainment, he did this politely.
Alvin, not offended by the objection of his guest, saw this as an opportunity to proceed with his intention. He excused his guards to leave the room, and Linz seeing this did the same as a mark of politeness.
When the room was clear, leaving only two of them to the silence, Alvin continued with his proposal. He said that he sought to merge both cities, new Atlantis and Aquarius, so that they could be open to trade and free movement without the normal checks and restrictions. He went further to state that since both cities were quite a considerable distance apart, both cities would have a common clearance pass that would allow citizens to move freely between any city. The only people that would be prevented from entering would be what both cities termed the outsiders.
Linz received this information with a shock, not willing to neither please nor anger Alvin he requested a documentation of the entire agreement. Alvin thinking he was making progress picked up a holographic copy of the agreement and passed it on, Linz received it with his own device and bade farewell.
BACK HOME
When Prof. Linz arrived at Aquarius, he proceeded to his study to read through the proposal, because he promised feedback within 24hours. The proposal seemed harmless and looked like an extended hand of friendship. But deep down he was suspicious of his friend, he suspected that the only reason Alvin would want their cities to merge was because he had ulterior motives, which was no more that expanding the user base of the Morph drug. Linz suspected that this method of infiltration would bring his people too close to the drug making it very difficult to control the unforeseen circumstances. But being a very democratic leader and not willing to just follow what he thought was the best idea for his people, since that would signify autocratic rule. He decided to summon his high council to present the issue.
Immediately Dora sent a memo to all his council members, and immediately as was the fashion in the highly discipline Aquarian society, they started showing up in the council chamber, where Linz was already waiting for them. Some were in form while some were holographic.
When most had arrived at the council chamber, the copy of the proposal was passed on to each of them. They felt a strong displeasure with the proposal and rejected it, they all saw were all these were going to. Although the pure breeds were not segregational in nature, they taught that their culture was too high to be infiltrated from the outside. They agreed to share their inventions with the rest of the world, but actually merging their civilization was not an option. They kept the door open for outsiders that would desire to come in and live with them as far as the passed the tests of citizenship, but the morphs were completely out of question, because the treatment with TA 9352 had completely damaged their genetic makeup. Those citizens of new Atlantis who strongly desired to join the pures had the option of going complete genetic repair which would eradicate every alteration done by the morph gene.
A reply was instantly prepared and sent to Alvin, and obviously it was met with complete disgust. After flaring in anger and throwing things about, he decided to calm down, so that he could come up with another plant. He was very persistent and would not accept rejection. He knew that a huge potential market lay in Aquarius and he also suspected that if he could with the hearts of the Aquarians, he was close to winning the rest of the outsiders who respected the Aquarian way of life and would want to opt in once they saw that their role models had joined forces with the morphs.
Then in a flash the idea came to him, the pures usually had a special day in the year which they called the festival of Aqua. This was like an expo where new technologies would be showcased. The uniqueness of this event was that outsiders were invited and although routine security checks were in place, it was milder. The DNA checking was done but not in a thorough manner to save time as lots of people would be flocking into the city to witness the wonders of Aquarius.
Alvin saw this as an opportunity to infiltrate the city in another manner. He went ahead to research on the profiles of the top scientist in Aquarius and found his solution. A young and very brilliant scientist called Brian. He searched everything about him and using advanced pattern recognition, scouring his social profiles on the web he was able to know the exact kind of lady that would tickle his fancy. Using this information, Alvin started cloning his ideal woman to be sent to Aquarius as a spy. All this with the hope that Brian will fall for her.
As soon as he accepted to sell the program at a billion dollars apiece to each of his secret buyers, the monies started rolling in. after selling to about 14 different global tycoons that knew about it, he stopped sales and immediately started drafting plans to build Aquarius.
