Another analogue of Gohrlay exists here in the Final Reality as a woman who does not want her identity to be publicized. I've blogged about the fact that the "current copy" of Gohrlay recently revealed her existence to me. She is an important source of information about past Realities. As far as I can tell, she is so knowledgeable about the past because she is in contact with her replicoid by way of the Bimanoid Interface.
Anney's Hypothesis
I'm intrigued by the hypothesis (let's call it HA, Anney's Hypothesis) that the universe as we know it was designed for Gohrlay. According to this hypothesis, the Final Reality has been planned and implemented so as to provide Gohrlay with a chance to live a life on a world (Earth) where her descendants can eventually spread to the stars and populate additional Earth-like worlds.

Thus, I am forced to believe that the Atlantis Clones were carefully created here on Earth in order to provide an information conduit that is our only means of understanding certain key features of Reality. However, anyone who is, like me, ready to believe in the special importance of Gohrlay, needs to remember that most of Anney's claims have never been independently verified. Why should we trust Anney and the entire cumbersome system that fed information through her from the Sedronic Domain to our world?
Marta |
Marta remains a mysterious figure since it seems certain that she had no analogue in the previous Reality, yet she seems to have been "supplied" with a well-informed and proficient replicoid. As far as I know, I've never met Marta, but I have had indirect interactions with her in the Hierion Domain by means of my use of the Bimanoid Interface. Marta not only crafted Ivory as a daring and clever woman but also worked quietly in the background to make sure that everything Ivory learned from her clone sisters was passed on to me.
Peter is in many ways still an unsolved puzzle for me. It was not just random chance that allowed he and I to meet when we were in college. I suspect that by allowing me to interact with Peter back in my school days, I was being carefully sensitized and prepared for the time when I would finally become aware of Ivory and the fact that her entire family was descended from an alien visitor who lived on Earth during the 20th century.
When I first met Peter, I knew that he was special. His racing intelligence and easy flamboyance startled and amazed me, but I did not then suspect that he carried alien gene combinations. I still do not believe that I know the full story of his involvement in making Hana serve as surrogate mother to one of the Atlantis Clones. In Peter's account of his involvement with the Atlantis Clones, he states that Cory was the surrogate mother for Anney, but it is not at all clear that his account can be trusted. As far as I can tell, Peter was never trusted as an "insider" at Atlantis. He preferred to live out in the "wild" among the people of Earth. There can be no doubt that after each of his visits to "Atlantis", his memories were carefully edited and reformed.

Book 3 of the Exode Trilogy: Exode |
And, as an example of killing two birds with one stone, by making Hana the birth mother of Hilde, a convenient way was found to send Hana off into outer space for her adventures with Boswei. Completing that vast intergalactic loop, eventually Izhiun made his way to Earth and passed on to me a record of Parthney's life. That information source became the basis for my ability to tell the third part of the Exode Trilogy: Exode. Frankly, such "coincidences" are simply too fantastic for me to wrap my head around.
Trysta and Ekcolir |
However, even with my lingering doubts about Anney as a reliable source of information from the Ekcolir Reality, I still feel that the correct way to begin the Exode Trilogy is with Trysta and Ekcolir.

And yes, the infites that were passed to me from Thomas provided a useful starting place for my investigation of the Ekcolir Reality, but due to the contorted structure of Thomas' life and memories, I needed a kind of extra "decoding strip" to help me make sense of his view of the Ekcolir Reality. Even if Thomas operated in a strange alternate reality of his own making between fantasy and fact, I feel obligated to include a large portion of Miners of Earth in Trysta and Ekcolir.
Miners of Earth by Thomas Iwedon (writing as Thomas Jeket) The story has been reconstructed by the Editor. |
Since most of the story in Miners of Earth was completely made up by Thomas, Grean felt that there was little to lose in allowing that book to be published. Although Miners of Earth was only published in the Ekcolir Reality, I was given a copy of the book by Trysta, here in the Final Reality. My early exposure to that science fiction story was another "trick" that was used to sensitize my mind in preparation for the later time when I would learn the truth about the pek and the Huaoshy.
Next: more science fiction from Deep Time.
