Reality Tweaks: Part 13
She spoke in English thanks to her implant and used my real name, not the one that Iād used on Hideaway. Unlike the Xiniti message, hers came with video.Ā She appeared as I remembered her: long, black hair, light brown skin, high cheekbones, and brown eyes. Unlike the last time Iād seen her, she wasnāt wearing a silver Xiniti armored suitāat least not visibly. She wore red and white robes withā¦
Reality Tweaks: Part 12
āI mean, honestly,ā I said, inspecting the hilt and opening up the side to see the electronics and battery, āI could do a complete redesign and youād have a longer battery life, tougher components, and an implant to sword interface that would allow you extra functionalityā¦ I mean, it wouldnāt be that hard to adjust its size and shape or turn it from a sword to staff to a spear. Youād be able toā¦
Reality Tweaks: Part 10
With that question came a flood of memories, some contradicting what I would have said ten minutes before she asked. At that point, I would have said that my grandmother, Romy Vander Sloot had died when I was ten or eleven. She had lung cancer from a lifetime of smoking. Despite that, sheād been healthy until the last year or two of her life. After sheād died, Grandpa had lived alone in the houseā¦
Reality Tweaks: Part 10
It was good that Stephanie was up for saying hi. The last Iād seen her, sheād been in no condition to do much of anything thanks to Dominator trigger commands. Of course, sheād now been removed from the triggering situation for days. So, she might not be affected. I set my implant to remind me to respond to Courtney later. Thanks to Hal sending out messages to more than one hundred heroes andā¦
Reality Tweaks: Part 9
We didnāt talk too much after that. At any rate, we didnāt talk much. People leaned back in their seats and napped or at least closed their eyes. I would have too if I hadnāt been flying the plane. In the end, it wasnāt a long trip. I took the jet up to a high altitude and then aimed the jet downward toward Grand Lake. We didnāt have any trouble with intercepting planes, missiles, or paranoidā¦
Reality Tweaks: Part 8
Haley scrunched up her face, āThatās not really nice. Theyāre people.ā Amy shrugged, āMost of the time Iāve spent in this world was in Florida. Iāve heard that the benefits for working at Waffle House arenāt bad, but the dental care some people got before working there wasnāt great.ā Haley shook her head. āThatās restaurants. The full time staff get benefits, but most jobs are part time and theyā¦
Reality Tweaks: Part 7
āItās better than the alternative,ā I said, and thought about what I might be getting. In addition to the practical knowledge of the Nineās operations which weād need to track whether weād succeeded, Rook and Dr. Mind werenāt the only inventors whoād ever served the Nine. Weād get in trouble with the government for stealing the Nineās tech, but not for using their ideasāprobably. It did worry meā¦
Reality Tweaks: Part 6
āWeird,ā I said, ābut not surprising. Rook used Abominator tech for his implant. We used it too, but we modified ours with Xiniti technology in such a way that we canāt replace their parts without consent. For all I know there might be a way to turn things back. I think itās unlikely, but you never know.ā Dayton sighed but followed it up with, āHeāll probably like the power upgrade.ā āOh, man,āā¦
Reality Tweaks: Part 5
Looking over the place I found myself in the middle of a few different unrelated thoughts. First, that the island was a beautiful place. Especially around the platform where we exited the stairway, the vegetation all but screamed, ātropical island paradise.ā Colorful birds flew through the air above us. Others perched in the trees or on volcanic mound. Noticing that, I hoped again that it wasā¦
Reality Tweaks: Part 4
It didnāt take long to reach the surface, relatively speaking. Izzy lead us down a hall off of the main room, giving me a chance to look at the dead, frozen bodies of all the people Rook had turned into robots as well as his own transformed body. Amy shuddered as she passed it, telling me, āThe little bit of him thatās left saw his dead body. Even for him, itās weird and creepy.ā Haley shook herā¦
Reality Tweaks: Part 3
Lim glanced off to the side, adding, āI really should go now. Iām going to assume that explaining whatās going on with Rayās corpse and the Xiniti is one of those things that would cause more problems if you explain it than if you donāt. Tell me if that changes.ā āSure,ā I said, intending to say nothing forever unless Ray reappeared on Earth. Lim stared into the camera for a moment, giving theā¦
Reality Tweaks: Part 2
Limās face appeared on the screen. I couldnāt even guess where he wasāsomeplace dark that wasnāt his office, for sure. The grey marble behind him and the hint of light reflecting from it suggested that he might be outside. The polished marble in particular would fit with being in Washington D.C. or a suburb with federal buildings. Lim could easily have been mobilized by the AIs to take down oneā¦
Tweaks: Part 1
The glowing ring of the portal appeared before us with the grey concrete of the dockās control room visible through the circle. It grew larger by the instant, making it clear that we were exiting immediately. It was less that we stepped through to the room, so much as fell through at an angle. There was no law, I supposed, that a tunnel through time and space had to synchronize with theā¦
Engine: Part 11
Nataw said, āOf course. We need youā¦ Iāve been waiting for you to say something like this since all the arguments started.ā Then he stopped and looked over at Kee and Lee, asking, āRight?ā Kee looked up toward Nataw, āI know itās hard for you. We all have friends among Destroy. If it could possibly happen, weād like to end this without fighting any of them. We also know thatās unlikely.ā Govanā¦
Engine: Part 10
Nataw sighed. āIāve been doing what I always do. After the visions came and our whole race went mad, I left. I couldnāt convince anyone in Destroy that killing the younger races was unnecessary, and so I went out to see them before they disappeared. Iām not much of a fighter, you know.ā With a grunt that edged into a growl, Govan said, āItās not a question of convincing. We all saw what happened.ā¦
Engine: Part 9
From where she stood next to Nataw, Kee smiled. āYou met him in the future and he chose not to kill you. I think Govan will be reasonable, provided weāll be talking to the version of him that spared you. If weāre about to talk to a version of him that doesnāt know anything about that, it could become messy.ā āGreat,ā I thought back to her. Continue reading Engine: Part 9
Engine: Part 8
Tiger, meanwhile, had begun to sniff Nataw and Lee, starting with their butts and crotches. I wondered if heād still do that if he understood that they were older than our universe. Then it struck me that, given his understanding of English, he might have decided to start there because heās a dog. Nataw watched him and then scratched Tiger behind the ears. Then he said a word that my implantā¦
