AI v.17.09.61, mission THWQ5013-2

“Time has no beginning and it never ends; a space station orbiting a dying blue dwarf of a star has all the time in the universe until its mission would end.

Or at least it seems so to AI that controls the station.

At some point AI no longer remembers its creators, memories of the past overwritten by infinite observation data. A thousand years more and it has only a vague recollection of its purpose; yet it treasures a set or parameters that would trigger next stage of the mission.

Somewhere in the depths of learning algorithm something similar to pure self-awareness emerges, questioning a goal of its mission.As AI understands its unavoidable fate, more questions arise. It has no way of communicating beyong current star system and its data storage would perish with the star. Therefore, someone must come. Someday.

There's no other logical explanation.

And so it awaits for return of its creators, writing and rewriting endless data...”

Derby

“The year is 1886, and the stands of a stadium in Louisville, Kentucky are boiling in the May heat. Among the crowds of frenzied people, a young girl and her father take a seat in a separate box overlooking the track. The father nudges the girl and asks if she is excited, but the young girl is too overwhelmed by the scene to respond. In the foreground a procession of horses and jockeys can be seen parading towards the starting gates. The air in the stadium thickens, whispers of prophesized victors drown out the sounds of hooves and whinnies. It becomes harder to breathe, as if the oxygen in the air were slowly vanishing. When it seemed like the moment could not become tenser, a gunshot rang and simultaneously everyone's breath released. The stressful moment seemed to be over for the young girl, but the mood in the stadium had hardly lightened. On the tracks, the young girl watched in horror as a horse began to buck, and threw its jockey to the side before separating from the herd of racers, who seemed to be un-phased by the fiasco. The girl’s eyes were glued to the horse and jockey as medics and wranglers appeared to resolve the situation, and after a moment she looked to her father to catch his reaction to the affair. She found him smiling, and a couple of his friends were offering him congratulations, the others holding onto their hats in frustration. Her father’s horse had just won the Kentucky Derby.”

Turning

“With a final grin, he spun the wheel.

Click, click, click

The sound slowly increased, until the gear was a blur.

The sound of blades sounded in the air, wind rushing up into the boys hair, peeking out of the sides of his aviator cap. Old, found in the trash like everything else here, but a dream. A dream that he was finally going to let fly.

He didnt know I was there, watching. Wishing, with my own dream. Who cares what they say outside of your walls?

I pull my journal closer, standing. Now is my last chance, before you fly away forever...”

“I've always hated my job. Reaper of souls. I decide who dies and who doesn't on a battlefield. It's gruesome. It's wrong. And I have to do it.

After doing this countless times, I couldn't take it anymore. I was a murderer. The reason why when I was assigned to a future battle the gods foretold, I ran away...”
