 Below on this page is Chapter 7 of the science fiction story "The Hierozyme Intervention", in which Systolina and the two replicoid copies of Tyhry who are at Observer Base decide to research positronics as a possible way to evade Manny's embargo on information about the future of the current Reality.

After her memories were edited, the original biological copy of Tyhry who remains on Earth is no longer able to believe in the existence of space aliens, but she share's Marda's interest in fighting against global warming. The two girls embark on a new multi-decade project to reverse the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide.

The Hierozyme Intervention Chapter 7 - Positronics (Chap. 1)(Chap. 2)(Chap. 3)(Chap. 4)(Chap. 5)(Chapt. 6)      

Scene 1. Monday morning, Casanay, Arizona.

Anthony had disposed of Tyhry's anti-gravity bike and tried to vacuum-up all Tyhry's hair and clothing nanites. When Tyhry got out of bed, she brushed her hair and dressed in conventional clothes, making note of the fact that she had grown and really needed some new, larger clothes.

At breakfast, Anthony casually offered to drive Tyhry to school. Tyhry said, "If you want to be a dear, take me over to Marda's place. We'll catch the bus to school."

"Whatever you like. What time to you want to go?" Anthony also asked, "And will you need a ride home this afternoon?"

"Let's go as soon as I'm done eating." Tyhry then turned to Zeta and asked, "Mom, can I sleep over at Marda's tonight."

Zeta replied, "Darling, I don't want you getting in the way. You know the Onways are not really moved in yet."

Eddy winked at Tyhry, "That's why your mother is over there so much... helping Rylla... move in."

Tyhry stood up and told Anthony, "I plan to be at Marda's, so don't expect me home for dinner. We need to work on our chem project. Let's hit the road." Tyhry strode out of the dining room.

Anthony followed Tyhry to the garage and they got into his old truck. As they started down the driveway, Tyhry asked, "Do you think it is faster to take the clockwise route or turn left and go anti-clockwise?"

"The time is not much different either way." It was only five miles as the crow flies from Casanay to Marda's place, but at least 20 miles by road. Anthony was driving down the gravel driveway a bit faster than would have made sense for a human driver. He had heavy-duty shocks in the truck and Tyhry launched off the bench seat with every bump. "As long as you don't expect me to drive the speed limit."

"If I wanted to go the speed limit I would have had mom drive me." Anthony pulled out of the Casanay driveway and accelerated onto the state road heading east.

Anthony could not resist testing Tyhry's memory. "I'm going into town after I drop you off. Do you want me to pick you up anything?"

Temporal Vortex.

Tyhry tugged at her too-tight shirt, "You've been feeding me too well. I need new clothes." Tyhry watched as Anthony got up to a cruising speed of 80 then added, "Not really new. Anything they have at Carolyn's Exchange that is my size."

Anthony knew precisely what size Tyhry was. "When was the last time you let me shop for you?"

"I don't know. Does it matter?" Tyhry turned her head so she could look at Anthony and noted the gray hair at his temple. She wondered: when did that happen? "Do you want me to get mom to do it?"

"She's want to take you to Phoenix." Anthony put on sunglasses, pretending to fight the early morning sun that was in their eyes. "I don't mind doing it, as long as you don't chastise me for my tastes and choices."

 "Anthony, you always know just what I like. Have I ever complained?"

"Well..."

"Recently."

"No, you are not a complainer. I often feel like you are humoring me when I don't know what I should do. You and your parents have always been very forgiving which makes things easy for me."

"Never doubt... if you did something that annoyed me, I'd let you know, but I don't think you could annoy me if you tried."

"Is that a challenge?" A sly grin came to Anthony's lips. "Hmm... let's see... did you get your homework done?"

Tyhry laughed. "Since when do you care about school work?"

"I don't care. I'm just trying to prove that I can annoy you by asking silly questions. How is you new computer working?"

"Since when to you care about computers?" Tyhry had never seen Anthony touch a computer. "Have you ever used one?"

"I have no use for a computer. The one that Zeta bought for me fifteen years ago sits in the corner, covered with cat hair."

"Cat hair? You don't ever let cat hairs settle to the floor. What do you do all day when I'm at school? Brush cats, dust and vacuum?"

"When Zeta does not have me in the gardens, I carve stone."

"I don't understand how you can work for hours in the gardens on days like this. It is going to get over 100 today."

"I know how to pace myself. The heat is no problem. Zeta never pushes me too hard."

Tyhry giggled and asked, "Just how hard does she get you?" Tyhry took out her phone. "Okay, you can stop yammering. I want to call Marda." Tyhry made the phone call. "I'm on my way. Be there soon." Tyhry had the sinking feeling that she was going to be late getting to Marda no matter how fast Anthony drove.

Marda said, "I'd been hoping you would get here earlier..." She paused. "Are you with your mom?"

"Anthony."

"You don't remember our plan for today, do you?"

"To try to show Mrs. Wilson that we know more about dolichol than she does?"

"Ya. Have fun with that. As the new kid at school, I'm not going to try to alienate my teachers."

"There is no try. It is my super power... I annoy teachers without trying."

"Okay, I'll meet you at the bus stop. See you soon."

Tyhry put her phone away. Anthony asked, "Marda asked about me?"

Tyhry grinned, "Oh, look who is going all one-way Onway. Rylla likes you, too."

Anthony chuckled, "We have a lot in common."

"So do you like girls? I'm asking for a friend."

"I don't kiss and tell."

 "See, this is how you annoy me. Why pretend that you are some asexual hermit?"

"Your father explained that in his novel."

"I can't believe you let dad write you into his stories. It's a huge violation of your privacy."

"I'm entertained by how Eddy depicts me in his science fiction stories." After a pause, he added. "But it could all go bad now that Marda and Rylla have found Eddy. Do you think Marda will be able to keep Eddy's secrets? Is she a blabber mouth at school?"

"Marda has more important things to do with her mouth."

 "Such as?"

"I don't kiss and tell" Tyhry giggled and thought about how quickly and how deeply she had fallen in love with Marda. "She's not really interest in dad and his fiction."

Anthony repeated, "Fiction."

Tyhry had no memory of ever knowing the truths that were hidden in plain sight in her father's novels. "Silly science fiction. Marda has fun pretending that aliens are real. She spends an incredible amount of time on dad's website and in the discussion forums for his novels." Tyhry gave a detailed account of Marda's past three years of finding, exploring and then dominating Eddy's interactive website and discussion forum.

When they approached the driveway to Marda's house, Tyhry saw that Marda was driving her mother's Jeep to the end of the driveway. Anthony pulled in beside the jeep and started speaking to Rylla. Marda and Tyhry climbed out of their vehicles and crossed the road to where the bus would pick them up. Tyhry kept her back to Rylla and kissed Marda. "I missed you."

"Marda tilted her head towards Rylla. "Look at those two. They make such a cute couple."

Tyhry turned to look at Anthony who was completely absorbed in whatever Rylla was telling him. "I got permission to sleep with you tonight."

"Don't say it like that in front of mom." Marda slipped a hand inside Tyhry's skirt. "She already thinks I'm a nymphomaniac."

Right then, Rylla was telling Anthony, "You were right, Anthony. I'm a copy of Systolina. I've taken over caring for Marda."

"I don't suppose you want to tell me what Manny's plans are for Casanay."

"I was hoping you might tell me." This copy of Systolina was still adjusting to playing the Role of Marda's mother. She glanced at Marda and telepathically sensed something of Marda's pleasure at being with Tyhry. "According to the Phari, you pek get constant streams of data from every human brain."

Image by Leonardo.

"Yes, the pek make use of the femtobot endosymbionts that are inside human brains. However, I'm not pek. I have to carefully watch the Watsons."

"Don't pretend you don't use telepathy to monitor them."

"You know the danger in that. Not a week goes by that I don't have to micro-edit either Eddy, Zeta or Tyhry to stop them from realizing that I can read their thoughts. Each round of those edits has to be more extensive. It is not easy to live with myself knowing all the damage I've caused to their brains by editing their memories."

"Why do you do it?"

"Nyrtia believes that pek are not allowed on Earth. Since positronic robots were created by humans, I'm allowed to stay on Earth for decades at a time... although I've never before stayed in one place as long as I've been at Casanay."

"Well, we'll be seeing a lot of each-other. Is it true that you don't like women?"

"As a robot, why do you ask?"

"You perfectly simulate a human male. On Threy, my function was to make humans happy. For this mission, I'm using the body form of a beautiful woman. You could say I have an instinct that makes me take an interest in you and your desires. If you are simulating the behavior of a man, then you should be sexually attracted to me."

"As a positronic robot, you don't have instincts or compulsions. You just want to use your pseudo-sexuality to probe my knowledge. It is wasted effort. I don't know any more than you do."

Image by Leonardo.

The school bus arrived. The new Systolina copy, disguised as Rylla, waved to Marda. "Well, if you can't tell me anything useful, you should go. Zeta could show up here any moment."

"You don't have to be in a hurry to get rid of me. The stores in town are not open yet. You know that Zeta is still at Casanay."

"Yes, I can sense that much. I suppose she and Eddy are taking advantage of having both you and Tyhry out of the house. Come on up to the house if you like. I can keep you entertained until they are done with their play session." 

"I'm going into town to do some shopping, but I can stop at the Q Diner... they're open now."

"Shopping" The school bus was now out of sight. "How domestic of you."

"I actually have a job."

"Ug. I still can't believe that you are willing to work for the pek."

"Believe as you please. It is a privilege to take care of the Watsons. They sacrifice a lot as Manny's tools."

Systolina asked telepathically via the communications protocol used by positronic robots: So what's your assessment? Is Tyhry still a tool of Manny?" Systolina had her mind wide open to Anthony, but he refused to form a deep reciprocal telepathic link.

Image by Leonardo.

"No. I put an end to that. Now Tyhry will have a normal life. It might be challenging for Marda to deal with Tyhry's sudden memory loss. Don't be surprised if I have to step in and also do some editing of Marda's memories."

"If you do, don't tell me about it. I've been watching Marda for three years and I've grown quite fond of her."

"Well, keep her under control and don't let her irritate Nyrtia."

"I'm surprised you warn me."

"Marda has quickly become very important to Tyhry. Tyhry is going to need a stable relationship with Marda to gracefully recover from the brain surgery I had to perform on her."

"If you truly damaged Tyhry's brain then I'm surprised your circuits have not melted."

"As a replicoid, I can continually repair myself."

"I suppose Nyrtia edited your brain circuits."

"Given her skill with femtobots, how would I know if she had?"

"You should just sever your relationship with Nyrtia. She's not good for you." 

Anthony started up his truck. "I'm off to do some shopping. Do you need anything in town?"

Systolina answered Anthony's question with a shake of her head and a telepathic: No. "I'll see you later. Marda is always asleep by ten, if you want to drop by."

Scene 2. Observer Base.

The copy of Systolina who had just returned to Observer Base after spending three years on Earth was waiting for Tyhry1. She'd been asked by Tyhry1 to not arrive too early. Tyhry1 wanted time to familiarize Tyhry2 with all her special tryp'At abilities.

While waiting (it was no longer early) Systolina had been entertaining herself by telepathically watching the two Tyhry replicoids as they engaged in yet another rowdy tryp'At play session. Systolina knew that there was no point in trying to cut short the sexplay of a tryp'At. The tryp'At had been designed to be sexually aroused all the time, which was needed for the optimal use of tryp'At telepathy. And Tyhry1's plan for discovering the future of the biological copy of Tyhry on Earth involved amplifying her own telepathic abilities by forming, nurturing, growing and sharing a telepathic mind space with Tyhry2.

For a time, Systolina again contemplated the mystery of why Tyhry2 had no ability to obtain information from the Sedron Time Stream, but Systolina did not understand the basis of tryp'At telepathy, which apparently involved sedrons, not hierions. Systolina had learned a lot about hierions from the Phari, but the only known source of information about sedrons was Manny. And Manny was apparently still trying to hide her plans for the biological Tyhry who remained on Earth.

Finally, Tyhry1 emerged from her bedroom and went to the kitchen. She called to Systolina, "Can I get you anything?"

Image by Leonardo.

Neither Systolina or Tyhry needed to eat or drink. Their artificial bodies were continually serviced by nanites and powered by the streams of hierion-based energy that constantly 'fed' replicoids. Still, Systolina knew that Tyhry liked to rinse her taste buds after heavy doses of tryp'At sex hormones. Tyhry sat down across from Systolina and sipped ice water in an attempt to inactivate her oral sex hormone receptors. Systolina tried not to stare at Tyhry's stage 3 tryp'At penile erection, but Tyhry's red ovipositor was energetically twisting and curling and put putting on a show, still seeking out Tyhry2's crop, which Systolina was certain it had been inside of just minutes earlier. Systolina asked, "Any luck?"

Tyhry1 opened up her telepathic mind to Systolina. During the past six decades they had learned each others telepathic mind patterns. Systolina could sense that Tyhry1 was still monitoring Tyhry2's lingering orgasm trance. Tyhry1 shook her head and absently stroked her erection. "No. And it makes no sense. We can generate amazing shared orgasm trances but she has no access to the Sedron Time Stream. And forget about her being able to amplify my ability to extract information from the Stream. If we are telepathically linked, she destroys by ability to get the attention of..." Here, Tyhry1 stopped speaking and telepathically told Systolina: The Sedruth entity.

Systolina knew that Tyhry could only hunt for specific bits of information in the Sedron Time Stream with the assistance of Sedruth. "How can that be?"

Image by Leonardo.

"I don't know. We could try another three-way."

Systolina was always willing to engage in sexplay with Tyhry. She went to Tyhry1 and took her big tryp'At penis into her vagina. Systolina could trigger her own orgasms without the need of any physical contact, but Tyhry needed sensory stimulation to achieve orgasms. After six decades of practice, Systolina knew exactly how to bring Tyhry1 to sexual climax. They were quickly into a shared telepathic mind space with Tyhry2. Tyhry2 was close to returning to normal waking consciousness and said: Systolina?

 Yes, I'm here. Stop blocking us from communicating with Sedruth.

I'm not doing anything.

You were, just a moment ago.

 Tyhry1 said: Don't blame Tyhry2. It could be that Manny simply ordered Sedruth to not help us view the future.

 Tyhry2 exited from her orgasm trance and looked around the bedroom for Tyhry1. Where are you, darling?

Image by Leonardo.

 A minute later, Systolina had pulled herself off of Tyhry1 and was using her cleaning nanites to wipe up all of Tyhry1's copious ejaculate. With the help of the ice water, Tyhry1 now managed to reduce the activation of her sex hormone receptors and shrink her erection down to stage one and get it mostly pushed back into her abdomen. Tyhry2 emerged from the bedroom and sat down beside Tyhry1. "It is rude to abandon me in mid-orgasm."

Systolina was watching Tyhry2's cute little erection which had grown noticeably in just one day. Systolina advised Tyhry2, "Aim your ire and your cute penis at me."

Tyhry2 took hold of her penis with both hands and aimed it at Systolina. After a few quick strokes of manual self-stimulation Tyhry2 began ejaculating great spurts of semen at Systolina which the robot captured in nanite nets. Tyhry1 told Tyhry2, "Stop wasting perfectly yummy semen." 

Tyhry2 sucked on the tip of her own penis and swallowed the rest of her ejaculate. When she pulled her mouth off of the hot pink glans of her penis, she told Systolina, "Look! I'm starting to learn how to control my ovipositor." Half an inch of her red ovipositor was extending out from the tip of her penis.

Image by Leonardo.

Even after six decades of dealing with the sight of tyhry1's ovipositor, Systolina was not comfortable with seeing red worms emerge from the ends of penises. Trying to be polite, Systolina said, "Congratulations. But when you can get your raging tryp'At hormones under control, we need to strategize. Something is very wrong. We need to find a new way to View the future of the current Reality. My thoughts keep returning to the Phari. Sadly, I'm just not clever enough to recognize how to apply my special knowledge to this problem."

Tyhry1 asked, "Can you just ask the Phari for help?"

"Maybe, but my relationship with the Phari is as one-way as is your relationship with Manny. Asking for help is usually a waste of time."

Tyhry2 gave her penis a few last long slow strokes then reluctantly pushed her erection into her abdominal cavity. Then with her newly-grown first inch of her stage 2 erection still outside her body, she contented herself with rubbing her semen-slicked hand against the still visible end of her erection. She quoted Manny, "I only help humans who help themselves."

Systolina said, "When she told you that, Manny was not giving you an excuse to masturbate in public."

"What's public? We just shared an orgasm trance, lover!" 

Image by Leonardo.

Tyhry1 impatiently held up her hand. "Enough with the sexual banter. I'm barely able to keep my penis from popping out. Right now, we need to think, not make love."

Systolina giggled. "Don't tryp'At do their best thinking while sexually active?"

"That is true, but something's wrong. Something is short-circuiting our tryp'At brains. We should be getting telepathic amplification from these shared orgasms, but we are not. It is frustrating."

Systolina suggested. "It is up to me. Manny probably engineered you tryp'At and she probably has a kill switch on your telepathic communications system. What is it called?"

"According to dad's stories, the basis of tryp'At telepathy is a specific hierion, the entron, that somehow makes tryp'At technology-assisted telepathy possible."

"Which makes no sense. If Manny designed the tryp'At so that they could have telepathy, surely she would have used sedron-based communications." 

"You don't know that. Until the previous Reality, the bumpha kept all of their sedron-based technology secret from the pek."

 "We need to stay focused on the problem at hand. Drop all speculation and stick to facts."

Image by Leonardo.

Tyhry1 said, "There is one other known fact about telepathy... if we take Eddy's fiction as containing fact. In a past Reality he wrote a novel, Foundation of Reality, that explained the basis of positronic robot telepathy. 

Tyhry2 said, "Dad never wrote a novel called Foundation of Reality." 

"It wasn't in the current Reality. It wasn't even in the previous Reality. But a copy ended up at the Writers Block. You can read it yourself. Anyhow, in the Foundation Reality, Earth was provided with the means to mine sedrons. Positronic robots were the first application of sedrons, even before the first hyperspace-jumpships were built."

Systolina said, "That's complete and utter bull."

Tyhry2 could telepathically see the fringes of Systolina's telepathic mind pattern and was trying to better learn haw to telepathically link to her. "You know better?"

"I do. It is absurd to claim that positronic robots ever used sedrons in their brain circuits."

Image by Leonardo.

Tyhry1 said, "It makes perfect sense. Using sedrons to create the right environment, positrons were used for quantum calculations inside positronic brain circuits."

"No, they were not. The term 'positronic' has nothing to do with positrons."

"Then if not positrons, what?"

"In positronic brains the positive charges were on protons moving through nanotubes. In the First Reality, the pek did not allow Neanderthal scientists to make electronic computers, so they invented a new field of positronics."

"Are you sure?"

"Well, this is what the Phari told me and I believe that they know. The Phari were allied with positronic robots through the whole Time Travel War."

Tyhry1 stood and turned her back on Tyhry2 so that she was no longer being distracted by Tyhry1 continuing to play with the tip of her penis. She absently stroked two of her erect nipples and said to Systolina, "If that Phari tale is true, then why was Eddy told something else by Manny?"

Systolina suggested, "Manny invented a cover story to hide the real basis of positronics."

Image by Leonardo.

"But why?"

"It could be because there is some way to use positronics to access the Sedron Time Stream."

"The problem is, there are no more positronic brain circuits." Systolina morphed her head and revealed her brain. "My brain is composed of femtobots that only simulate the function of a positronic brain."

Tyhry1 pointed at Systolina, "You are going to teach me everything you know about positronics."

"Fine. That won't take long."

"I've seen advanced nanotubes in the futures of other possible realities. It bothers me that nobody ever built positronic brains in those Realities."

"Manny must routinely block research on positronics."

Tyhry1 switched from speaking to telepathy. From now on, no more talk about this. We'll use telepathy while we study positronics. Speaking out-load she said, "There's no way we can out-smart Manny." Telepathically she said: We are going to out-smart Manny.

At that moment, Ylyndra was using a sedron-based communications link to Manny who was in the Sedron Domain. As you predicted, I've been able to block these two Tyhrys from synergizing and amplifying their telepathic abilities.

Image by Leonardo.

Manny suggested: Do all you can to enhance their orgasms. Distracting tryp'At with sexual pleasure is pretty easily accomplished. I don't want these two doing any serious thinking for the next few decades. Let them bumble around re-inventing positronics... that will keep them busy for a long time. You can join them in their sexcapades and enjoy yourself. They won't be able to detect your presence inside Tyhry2.

Ylyndra made a weak protest. I could be of more use on Earth.

Marda must complete the rest of her mission without your help. Nyrtia needs to detect your continual presence at Observer Base.

Why does that Systolina copy get to be on Earth?

 She's the designated distractor for Anthony. Manny resisted the temptation to visit the two Tyhry's and join in their delightful sexplay. Enjoy your vacation from on-Earth duty. Manny broke the communications channel to Ylyndra but lingered to share the thrills being experienced by Tyhry2 as she learned how the tryp'At phenotype had been designed as a tool to maximize sexual pleasure. A lot of effort had gone into the design and creation of the tryp'At and Manny felt she deserved to enjoy the results.

Exit Systolina

The tryp'At breeding game. Image by Leonardo.

 On this blog page there are plans for events in the rest of the science fiction story "The Hierozyme Intervention". Also, after those plans have been sketched in outline, this blog page has the text of Chapter 6 (below). 

 Plans. Chapter 6 begins with a scene that takes place in the middle of the night, showing Systolina telling Anthony that she is departing from Earth. Anthony suggests that when this copy of Systolina returns to the Hierion Domain, another copy will replace her on Earth.

Systolina then returns to Observer Base and works with the Tyhry1 and Tyhry2 replicoids to search for information about the future of the current Reality; of particular concern is what will happen to the original biological copies of Tyhry and Marda who are on Earth. However, Manny appears and hints that Systolina and the two replicoid copies of Tyhry are being actively blocked from seeing the futures of Tyhry and Marda. It is revealed that Ylyndra is now stationed inside Tyhry2 and preventing her from accessing the Sedron Time Stream and from telepathically working in tandem with Tyhry1 to get around the block that has been imposed by Manny on access to information about the future of the current Reality.

In a Chapter 7 scene (Monday morning when Tyhry and Marda are on their way to school), Anthony has disposed of Tyhry's anti-gravity bike. Tyhry asks Anthony to drive her to Marda's place. 

Tyhry in her laboratory.

While Marda and Tyhry wait for the school bus to arrive, Rylla and Anthony talk. Anthony's prediction is shown to have been correct: Rylla is now a "backup copy" of Systolina.  

 Positronic robots. “The Hierozyme Intervention” has two characters who are the remnants of positronic robots from the era before the Huaoshy tossed T-particles into the trash-bin of Time. In my imagination, both Anthony and Systolina are replicoid copies of positronic robots. That means that the structures of their original positronic brains have been converted into hierions. They now exist as complex collections of femtobots that simulate robotic bodies that were originally designed to look like human bodies. However, both Anthony and Systolina retain telepathic powers that are similar to their original telepathic abilities that they had as positronic robots back when T-particles still existed.  

 Telepathy. Two years ago in a story titled “The Nanite Smuggler”, I introduced 'entrons' as a specific type of hierion. The tryp'At make use of entrons to share communications signals that make possible a form of technology-assisted telepathy that relies on using the zeptite endosymbiont of the tryp'At. In my imagination, the bumpha would deploy 'entrons' for use by humans and tryp'At because entrons are relatively primitive hierions. The bumpha would reserve other (more advanced) sedron-based communications protocols for their own use (for example, in the mechanism of the Sedron Time Stream ). I have never describe the physical basis for the other technology-assisted telepathy system that is used by the pek femtobots that are components of femtobot endosymbionts. Also, there is yet another communications method involved in the technology-assisted telepathy of Anthony and Systolina. The end of the Time Travel War (between the positronic robots of Earth and the bumpha) came with an agreement that I call the Trysta-Grean Pact (Trysta being the representative of the robots and Grean representing the bumpha). Under the terms of the Trysta-Grean Pact, the bumpha accepted the requirement that humans be allowed to develop space travel and spread through their home galaxy.

The second scene in Chapter 7 of “The Hierozyme Intervention” can return to Observer Base where Systolina tries to make use of her probot-style telepathy and her connections to the Phari to get around Manny's block that is preventing access to information about the future. Discussion in this scene between Systolina and the Tyhry replicoids can explicitly compare and contrast (1) proton wire positronics to (2) the sedron-facilitated positronics that are included in “The Foundations of Eternity”. Systolina has been informed by the Phari of the true meaning of positronics, but she has to argue with Tyhry1 and Tyhry2 who know a bumpha “cover story”. Intrigued by why there is a cover story, Systolina proposes that by combining “true positronics” with Phari Simulator technology they should be able to learn about the future of Earth in the current Reality. Since Tyhry is now locked out of the Sedron Time Stream (by Ylyndra), Systolina proposes learning enough about positronics to “hack into” the sedron domain. Systolina proposes finding a way to telepathically contact the Sedruth entity by positronic means, a method that will not become known to Manny.

There are three important future time points to be visited (see the timeline of events that is on this blog page): (1) 2013, when Tyhry goes to Hawaii in order to attend college, (2) 2019 when Marda returns to Arizona from Germany, (3) 2027 when Tyhry returns to Arizona where Marda completes work on the bio-engineered microbe that will solve the global warming problem.  

Manny the bumpha.

Chapter 8 can begin by leaping ahead 16 years from the time of the first five chapters of the story (2011). Then, later in the story, I can do flashbacks to events in 2013 and 2019 (see FB1 and FB2, below). In a second scene, Chapter 8 could leap ahead even further to 2040, returning to Observer Base where the Tyhry replicoids finally get around Manny's block against obtaining information about the future of the current Reality. Nyrtia, Manny and three replicoid copies of Tyhry (including the one that went to Tar'tron with Klaudy) all assemble and discuss the fact that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are falling. Nyrtia is pleased that "humans solved the problem". Manny exits from that meeting and finally visits Marda and her Ek'col husband (Nileck) on Earth. Manny explains that humans must eventually transcend into the Sedron Domain and return Earth to the status of a Garden World. Tyhry arrives and asks who Manny is, but she is unable to believe the answer: that Manny is an alien. Tyhry talks about having seen Manny on a beach in Hawaii in 2013 (FB1). Then Marda tells Tyhry about how Manny introduced her to Nileck when Marda was in Germany (FB2). The story ends with the two children of Marda and Nileck meeting with Manny and discussing Manny's plans for her next intervention, which involves introducing a system for technology-assisted telepathy to the people of Earth.

The Hierozyme Intervention Chapter 6 - Success (Chap. 1)(Chap. 2)(Chap. 3)(Chap. 4)(Chap. 5)    

Zeta and Rylla. Image by Flow.

Eddy finally worked himself to a pause point in his writing and he went from the great room to master bedroom suite. Zeta was also still awake and pondering the mysteries of the universe: Rylla's inexplicable physical appearance, so like that of Zeta and Tyhry's strange pronouncements at the diner table that evening. Zeta told Eddy, "I don't know what is going on."

Eddy tossed off his clothing and melted into Zeta's welcoming arms. He knew exactly what Zeta meant. "Clearly, Tyhry's world has been shattered this week."

"As has mine. I find Rylla irresistible." 

Eddy kissed Zeta's mouth then said, "Your sense of self-love is strong. I find it impossible to keep my eyes off of Rylla." He was playing his fingers over Zeta's dripping wet labia.

"Well, I've worn myself out trying to solve the mystery. As far as I can tell, Rylla is a copy of me right down to details of my unusual external genitalia." 

Eddy stroked the erect glans of Zeta's clitoris. "You are hard as diamond. Have you been masturbating?"

"Yes. When I fantasize about Rylla I can't control myself."

"Well, I'll do what I can to calm your neediness, but I doubt I can match Rylla's tongue work."

Still, they knew each-others bodies well and after a shared orgasm, Eddy and Zeta were soon quietly asleep.

__

Anthony was in his studio, pretending to prepare a stone for carving, but he was obsessively thinking about what he had done to Tyhry's brain. The Casanay security system blipped. Anthony was used to no longer responding to the coyotes that wandered through the backyard. Systolina sent Anthony a message: Let me in.

Suddenly, Anthony could telepathically sense the mind pattern of Systolina. He let her in to Casanay through the back service entrance of the west wing and quietly led her to his suite. Systolina was once again in her original robotic form. Anthony was still being blocked from forming a deep telepathic link into Systolina's mind. Rather impatiently, Anthony asked Systolina, "What now?"

Systolina explained, "I'm returning to the Hierion Domain. I just wanted to scold you for your abuse of Tyhry."

"You are late." Anthony smiled grimly. "You should have been here when Ylyndra and Manny chastised me. You can't make me feel any worse than I already do."

Anthony's core positronic brain pattern was open to Systolina. She could see that he was close to a circuit lock-up for having possibly harmed Tyhry's mind. Systolina put her arms around Anthony. "You should quit. Nyrtia will put you in an early grave."

"I can only blame Manny. She's flipped out. Forcing a mind-wipe on Tyhry for nothing."

Systolina giggled. "Anthony, I didn't think you had it in you! You are furious at Manny."

Anthony pulled his hands off of Systolina's curvy hips and spun away. He picked up a file and pretended to work on the stone block that stood in the center of his studio. "I'd be just as angry with you, but you don;t seem to have a clue as to what Manny is trying to accomplish. Still, you are facilitating Manny's bad actions. You and the Phari are just as much to blame."

Systolina placed one hand on Anthony's shoulder, feeling the rippling simulated muscled as he worked the stone. "The Phari are curious. They've used their Simulation technology to predict how this will all play out. They are not certain of their prediction and asked me to visit Casanay and gather more information."

Anthony turned his head and looked into Systolina's eyes. "I've left my mind open to you. Your mission was a waste of time. I can't imaging what Manny is trying to accomplish. It is as if she spent huge amounts of effort to solve Earth's global warming problem in the previous Reality and then flushed it all down into the septic tank." 

Systolina placed her free hand on Anthony's cheek, preventing him from turning his head away from her. "It is obvious that Manny was not satisfied with the previous Reality."

"Neither was Nyrtia, after she realized how she had been duped by Manny."

Systolina suggested, "Maybe that is the explanation. Manny tricked Nyrtia beautifully, but Manny loves Nyrtia. Manny would not expect to continue to work with Nyrtia after humiliating her."

Anthony observed, "Not even Manny can erase the past. Nyrtia's humiliation can't be washed away by forcing me to erase Tyhry's memories."

Systolina pulled Anthony's head down. By standing on her toes she managed to place a kiss on on Anthony's lips. Then she sank back on the flats of her feet. "I just wanted to say farewell." 

"You are going to abandon Marda?"

"I'm not worried about Marda. I suspect that Ylyndra turned her into a fully self-actualized tryp'At adult. If nothing else, Marda could move in here and live happily with Tyhry. I'm more worried about Zeta. She's infatuated with you."

 Systolina giggled. "I had fun with Zeta, just like I did when she visited Threy in a past Reality. She'll get over me this time, just like last time. Call it a sweet summer vacation fling." Systolina activated her recall signal and the Phari teleported her off of Earth and back to the Hierion Domain.

__ 

Systolina was immediately teleported into Observer Base. She found herself standing outside of Tyhry's residence. Systolina could sense the telepathic mind patterns of the two replicoid copies of Tyhry inside the house. They deep in a telepathic shared mind space where Tyhry1 was teaching Tyhry2 what it meant to live as a tryp'At. Systolina let her presence be known and a rather startled Tyhry1 invited Systolina inside.

Systolina joined the two Tyhrys on Tyhry's big bed. 

Tyhry1 was struggling to get her penis back into her abdominal sheath. Tyhr1 asked: Did you bring Marda?

Image by Leonardo.

"No. Nyrtia has not touched Marda." Seeing that Tyhry2 was having trouble pulling out of her deep mindlink, Systolina spoke out loud to Tyhr1. "The whole situation is depressing. Manny has thrown away a perfectly good Reality; Earth's solution to global warming. And for what?"

Tyhry1 was licking semen off of her hands and thinking. She had expected both Tyhry and Marda to be exiled to Observer Base. "I've been watching. Marda was the one who provoked Tyhry into making hierozymes."

"I suppose Nyrtia blames Ylyndra."

"Ylyndra?"

"Ylyndra has been inside of Marda for years."

"I was ready to blame you for getting Marda into trouble. I just found out today that you were pretending to be Rylla."

"I'm glad to here it was not obvious to you. I put a lot of effort into my disguise."

"How did you explain to Marda the physical similarity between Rylla and Zeta?"

"What's to explain? Ylyndra taught Marda about Manny's penchant for genetically engineering humans. Marda never asked. She probably assumed that Manny designed Rylla for a specific purpose." Systolina modded towards Tyhry2 and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Image by Leonardo.

"Nothing bad." Tyhry1 glanced at Tyhry2. "She just got her first big dose of tryp'At sex hormones. She's recovering from her first orgasm trance." Tyhry1 popped Tyhry2 off of her lower right breast. Pink oxypathin-rich fluid continued to dribble from both of her two lower breasts.

Tyhry2 opened her eyes and tried to focus on Systolina. She managed to mutter, "Who?"

Tyhry1 propped Tyhry2 up into a sitting position on the bed. "This is Systolina Kato." 

"A character from dad's novel? The Nanite Smuggler."

 Systolina nodded, "That novel provides a fairly accurate account of your family's visit to Threy. That is when I first met an analogue of you in a past Reality."

"I see. Why are you here now?"

"I went to Earth on a mission to find out what the pek know about Manny's current Casanay Intervention. They know nothing. It is up to us to sort this out."

Tyhry1 shook her head. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I detected no amplification of my telepathic abilities, even when in a shared orgasm trance with her." Tyhry1 tilted her head towards Tyhry2.

"How can that be?"

As if in reply to Systolina, Manny materialized there on the bed and began playing with Tyhry2's hair nanites, putting them into an organized and mesmerizing pattern. "I can't allow you meddling do gooders to see the future of the current Reality."

Tyhry1 demanded, "How can you stop us?"

Manny patted her own flamboyant hair. "I could send you off to Tar'tron, but I prefer to have you here where you can give Nyrtia something to watch."

 Manny bundled Tyhry2 into her arms and scolded Tyhry1, "You over-dosed this child."

"She asked for it."

Manny teleported Tyhry2 out of Observer Base. Tyhry2 was looking around at her new surroundings when she felt the mind pattern of Ylyndra: It is true. She insisted on getting a complete tour of the features of her tryp'At body form.

Manny stood Tyhry2 on her feet. Speaking out load for Tyhry2's benefit, Manny said, "I suppose I should never have counted on you to protect the poor girl."

Don't pretend to be surprised. Tyhry thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Even now, she's only irked with you for having cut short her first orgasm trance.

Tyhry2  said, "I hear a voice in my head."

Manny told Tyhry, "Get used to it. Ylyndra the zeptozoan will be with you for the next couple of decades, making sure you don't interfere with my plans for Earth."

Tyhry felt a shiver of horror run through her. Ylyndra assured Tyhry: It is not all bad. There will be plenty for you to do. Get integrated into life here at Observer Base, learn how to explore Simulations of past and future Realities, make babies, keep Systolina and your analogue out of trouble... we'll be quite busy. 

Manny patted Tyhry on the head. "I'll leave you to it." Manny departed from the Hierion Domain.

Tyhry asked, "Where are we?"

Ylyndra explained: This is a part of Observer Base called the Writers Block.

Now Tyhry recognized the office of the Director of the Writers Block from its description in Eddy's novels. "Why are we here?"

I suppose Manny want's you to meet some of the residents. Tyhry exited from the Director's office without remembering that she was naked. Ylyndra suggested: Clothing is optional at the Writers Block, but you might want to cover-up a few of your nipples and tuck your penis back in its sheath. Tryp'At anatomy is a bit much for conventional humans to process.

Tyhry looked down at herself and took hold of her erection. Not yet experienced in the art of pushing tryp'At penises back into their sheaths, it took a minute for Tyhry to make herself presentable. When she had finished licking tryp'At body secretions and sex hormones off of her hands, she stepped out into the busy central plaza of the Writers Block. Ylyndra said: There's Sydney. Let's go say hello. Tyhry was pleased to meet one of her favorite writers. 

Tyhry could not resist asking Sydney if she really believed an alien humanoid species could be as she imagined: almost totally lacking a sex drive. Tyhry ended up admitting that she was struggling to control her enthusiasm for her newly discovered tryp'At sex organs. Sydney laughed and told Tyhry2, "I once spent a night with your sister. I don't think I was able to satisfy her needs. She wore me out."

Tyhry2 nodded. "I'm just discovering how to be tryp'At, but I'm glad to be here where I'm treated like an adult. On Earth I was treated like a human child."

"What's wrong with that. At a glance you look like a little girl, except for your ears."

Tyhry asked, "Would you like me to show you my penis? You'd no longer call me little."

"Sure, I'd love to see how big you really are."

Tyhry2 stood up and brushing aside her clothing nanites and pulled out her penis. Sydney reached out and fondled Tyhry2's erection. "How cute. I'd say you are about half the size of your sister."

"She's not really my sister. She's me. My analogue. And I'll be as huge as she is when I'm done growing." A small crowd of admirers had quickly gathered around Tyhry. Ylyndra warned Tyhry: You better control your exhibitionism or you are going to trigger an orgy. Remembering Nyrtia's warning to take things slow, Tyhry reluctantly pushed her penis back into its sheath. She had been starting to recognize Sydney's unique telepathic mind pattern, but now in the middle of a group horny writers, Tyhry was feeling cognitively overwhelmed. "Sorry, the show is over!" She took Sydney by the hand and led her out of the commons. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm lost. I'm starting to sense your thoughts, and I believe you know where my analogue lives."

"I have not seen her in over a year, but I remember where she lives."

"There's something else. Do you know where Nyrtia lives?"

Sydney laughed. "You are pushing the word 'live' beyond its useful boundaries. Most people try to avoid Nyrtia. I still resent the fact that she exiled me from Earth."

"I think I'm going to like it here. Do you ever Observe your copy on Earth?"

"Not anymore. She's dead. It is one of the problems with being an immortal replicoid. We all out-live our biological copies."

"Sorry to remind you."

Image by Leonardo.

"I don't mind." For a time they walked along the path that led towards the hidden gate that linked the Writers Block to the rest of Observer Base. "I don't think Nyrtia has a home. She comes and goes as she pleases. I'm satisfied to stay out of her way. She never explained to my why I was exiled from Earth."

"I suppose you wrote something about the aliens that got you in trouble."

"I suppose I was not as lucky as your father."

"You know my father?"

"I know of him. Eddy is rather famous at the Writers Block. It seems rather unfair that he can write anything he likes about the pek and the bumpha... all with no consequences."

"In a way, dad was responsible for getting me into trouble with Nyrtia."

"What happened?"

Ylyndra told Tyhry: Sorry, I can't let you blabber about me. Tyhry stopped trying to say the word 'Ylyndra' and said, "My friend, Marda, figured out that Eddy's stories contain factual accounts of real aliens. She found us and provoked me into a noble act. Nyrtia took exception to my use of advanced bumpha technology to combat rising greenhouse gas levels."

"The rumor I heard was that Earth's climate woes were solved."

Image by Leonardo.

"I'm still learning about past Realities. My analogue has promised to show me her Simulator. I should be able to explore all of the past Realities of Earth!"

They had finally reached the gate. Sydney showed Tyhry the trick of slipping through the hidden gate. Once on the other side, Sydney said, "Well have to use the rail system. It is a long way to Tyhry's place."

In the distance, Tyhry could see the tall buildings of the central district of Observer Base. "I think I can find my way now, if you want to go back."

"I've come this far... I'm curious to see if your sister remembers me."

Tyhry laughed. "The longer I spend with you, the more I can follow your thoughts. I think you must have some tryp'At gene patterns. That must be why the other Tyhry was interested in you."

"See said something about Asterothropes and my big breasts."

"If you don't mind me asking, how many nipples do you have?"

"Four."

"Interesting. But only two breasts?"

"Yes. It is strange, when I arrive here from Earth and found the two extra nipples."

Image by Leonardo.

"There is nothing extra about them. They are critical to Asterothrope and tryp'At biology. My father's theory is that the lower Asterothrope breasts were engineered to make the hormones that support telepathy. That's a feature that was carried over into the tryp'At. Sadly my lower breasts are still not growing, so I can't make oxypathin."

"That pink stuff?"

"Yes, there is oxypathin in the secretions of the two lower tryp'At breasts. That secretion goes on all the time. Until by ducts open up, all of my body's oxypathin goes right into my blood, making me horny all the time."

Sydney laughed. "All the time?"

"Yes, all the time. The tryp'At penis is always erect."

"Wow."

"I can ejaculate any time I want... internally."

"So how often do you have an orgasm?"

 "That is becoming a problem. All I can say is that it has been too long since my last one. If you wouldn't mind..."

Image by Leonardo.

The two women stopped walking. Sydney said, "I want to watch. I could not believe the volume of semen that your sister produced."

Tyhry pulled down her skirt and her penis popped out. Tyhry resisted the temptation to touch the silky skin pf her erection. She saw Sydney lick her lips. "There's another hormone in tryp'At semen. Klytykinin. I suspect you have both oxypathin and klytykinin receptors. Go ahead."

Sydney reached out and began playing with Tyhry's erection. Slippery emission fluid was dribbling from its tip. Sydney took the tip of Tyhry's penis in her mouth and then Tyhry could no longer control herself and she began ejaculating. When Sydney could no longer keep up swallowing she pulled away and watched great spurts of semen continue to erupt from Tyhry's penis. "How long can you do that?"

"I don't know. Normally, I'd be ejaculating into the body of another tryp'At. There is something sad in seeing all of that Klytykinin-laced semen decorating the bushes."

Sydney complained, "Now I'm very horny."

"Its all the Klytykinin you swallowed." The two women sank down on the grass and made love. Latter, Tyhry slowly emerged from her orgasm trance. She realized that she had just shared her orgasm trance with Ylyndra.

Image by Leonardo.

Ylyndra told Tyhry: There's something wrong.

Tyhry replied: That seemed perfect to me. 

There was no amplification. Between the two of us, we should have been able to bring Sydney into that orgasm trance.

Sydney was fondling Tyhry's erection with own hand and exploring her two vaginas. "I thought you were not coming back."

Tyhry accused Ylyndra: You planned this whole thing. 

I hoped Sydney would sexually excite you and allow for my experiment. I hate to break the news to you, Tyhry, just when you are learning to love your penis, but Manny must be blocking your full tryp'At telepathic powers. And it is not just you. It is like there is a telepathy damping field here iside Observer Base.

Tyhry asked, "Nyrtia?"  

Sydney said, "What about Nyrtia?" 

"Oh, nothing. She warned me to take things slow, but I've ravished you after just having met you."

"I don't mind. That was very hot sex. I would not mind doing it again."

Image by Leonardo.

"Let's wait until we get home. I want to ask my analog how Nyrtia could be blocking telepathic signals."

The two women resumed walking and soon reached the nearest monorail station. They tried to retrain themselves and only kiss while in the train car, but Tyhry's erection popped out again and they grabbed another quick orgasm before reaching their stop. Emerging from the train station, Tyhry2 could sense Tyhry1's telepathic mind pattern, which was almost the same as her own. The two Tyhry's and Ylyndra merged into a shred telepathic mind space. Ylyndra commented: Without our normal telepathic abilities, you won't have access to the Time Stream.

Tyhr1 added: And we will have no hope of Viewing the future of the current Reality.

Tyhry2 telepathically asked: Can Nyrtia do that? At the same time, she was re-introducing Sydney to Tyhry1, "I guess you two know each-other."

Image by Leonardo.

Tyhry1 hugged Sydney. "Of course. We had a hot little romance back a year or so ago." Tyhry1 telepathically said: I don't think it is Nyrtia. It must be Manny. Remember what she said? Something about not letting us see the future.

Ylyndra said: Well, I'm not giving up. Maybe we just need more minds in a group orgasm trance. 

Tyhry1 took hold of Sydney's hand and guided her towards the bedroom. "I'm so glad you are here." She telepathically signaled to Systolina: We need you. All hands on deck.
