The Harlan Intervention

Tyhry and Brak

 Below on this blog page is what I'll call the story for the second episode of a science fiction fiction television series titled "Intervention". In episode 1, Rylla, Tyhry and Brak were sent to the year 1869 of the Ekcolir Reality by way of the Reality Simulation System.

In episode 1, it was confirmed that in the Ekcolir Reality, Tomas Edison's first wife, Mary, was used by the bumpha to alter the course of Edison's life. Rylla brought a copy of Mary Stilwell out of the Reality Simulation System. Biologically, Mary Stilwell is a Huxy, a human variant that has the H chromosome, but developmental nanites shaped her body into the form of a conventional human of Earth. Mary carries in her femtobot endosymbiont a time traveling femtozoan from the future that was originally derived from a long line of multiple generations of Huxy who lived in the far future of the Asimov Reality. At the end of episode 1, Tyhry and Brak have just returned to Arizona  after Brak's first adventure inside the Reality Simulation System.

Episode 2 (below) begins immediately after the events at the end of episode 1.

Episode 2 of "Intervention" - "Mary Harlan, Interventionist" (read Episode 1)

Tyhry and Brak returned to Arizona from the Simulation of 1869 in the Ekcolir Reality. Brak found himself back in his original body. Tyhry could telepathically sense that her sister, Rylla, was out on the back patio. Brak told Tyhry, "Thank you for that visit to the past."  They both looked through the window at the back of the house and saw that Rylla was outside in the hot tub. Brak raced through the back door and was quickly naked and in the hot tub, excitedly telling Rylla, "I met both presidents Harlan and Abraham Lincoln!"

Arriving at a more leisurely pace beside the hot tub was Tyhry, who was amused to telepathically identify Sedruth as one of the two young girls who were there in the hot tub with Rylla. Rylla was over-heating and she climbed out of the tub and gave Tyhry a wet hug. Rylla tipped her head towards Mary and told Tyhry, "Mary is an interventionist agent, sent by Balok to help with the work of Tomas Edison. Maybe you can make sense of it... I thought Nyrtia was helping Edison and the bumpha had to put a stop to that."

Tyhry walked around the hot tub and went to stand close to Mary and placed a hand on the girl's head. Tyhry was able to telepathically sense the time traveling femtozoan that was inside Mary, but the complex memory patterns of that artificial life-form seemed like a vast maze that sparkled mysteriously like stars in a dark sky. After a moment of confusion in the maze-like thought pathways of Mary's mind, Tyhry said, "I think this is a job for Sedruth."

At that moment, Sedruth (using the body form of Kate) was distracting Brak, giving Tyhry a chance to synapex link to Mary. Brak was satisfied to take delight in visually examining Mary while simultaneously fondling Kate's cute little breasts. 

Rylla complained to Tyhry, "Sedruth is acting very strangely. When we emerged from the Reality Simulation System, he continued to make use of the physical form that he had adopted for use while we were inside the Simulation. I had no idea he could even do that! Of course, he knows what is going on, but he's making me figure everything out for myself. I'm sure he had this all carefully planned in advance."

Taking note of the pretty little erections of Mary and Brak, Tyhry said, "Sedruth also got Brak a birthday present." Tyhry took her hand away from Mary's head, breaking their synapex linkage and then Tyhry took her sister's arm and led Rylla back inside the house. "We also confirmed that Mary Harlan is another Interventionist agent who was active in 1869."

Once inside the air conditioned house, Rylla quickly began to chill. She used clothing nanites to wrap herself in a soft gown and then Rylla sat down at the computer workstation that had access to the Reality Simulation System. Only slightly irked that Sedruth was not there to assist in navigating through the complexities of the Ekcolir Reality Simulation, she manually brought up on the Viewer a replay of what had happened when Tyhry and Brak arrived at the home of Senator Harlan in 1869.

 On the Viewer display, Rylla saw that using a horse-drawn carriage, Sedruth had dropped Tyhry and Brak at the front door of the large Harlan family home. Rylla could see that for this Simulation run, Sedruth had doubled the apparent age of Brak, transforming him into a teenager. Rylla noted the total elapsed time for Tyhry and Brak's visit inside the Simulation of 1869 and she muttered a question to Tyhry, "You stayed the entire weekend and right on into Monday?"

"Without their live-in maid on hand, the Harlans were unwilling to let me go," Tyhry explained. "I guess you could call it a successful weekend. Brak, Tad and Bill were wild and had a great time. I had to bring in to the Simulation three of my replicoids to help out with cooking and cleaning up all the trouble that Brak got into... but we got through it. Of course, Mary Harlan, as one of Nyrtia's probots, immediately recognized us as being outsiders and she quickly accepted the idea that she was inside a Simulation."

Rylla was vaguely familiar with Thomas "Tad" Lincoln, but she asked, "Bill?" Using the Viewer, Rylla had found a point in the Simulation replay when Brak had been introduced to the former president and was speaking to Abraham Lincoln.

Tyhry pointed at one of the boys who was on the display screen. She explained, "Mary's little brother, William Aaron Harlan. Only 16 years old and hell on wheels. He and Tad took delight in teaching Brak how to misbehave. They got into all sorts of trouble."

Rylla giggled and said, "I'm sure Brak had a wonderful time." On the Viewer, Rylla watched as Brak, Tad and Bill went up to the top floor of the Harlan home, an attic, where the boys had made a straw archery target that looked like an English dart board. Brak quickly learned how to use a bow to fire arrows at the target by telepathically lifting the skill out of the mind of Bill Harlan. Brak was particularly good at the game because he could use his telekinetic ability to adjust the flight of his arrows while they were on their way to the target. Rylla asked Tyhry, "What did you learn about Mary Harlan's mission?"

"She prevented the assassination of Lincoln and engineered the whole push by Lincoln for publicly-funded higher education opportunities." Tyhry flopped into the big recliner that was there adjacent to Eddy's old computer workstation. "I want to ask Sedruth how much that boost to education was able to advance technological progress in the Ekcolir Reality." Tyhry could telepathically sense that Mary, Sedruth and Brak were playing some kind of erotic game out in the hot tub, but she resisted looking through the window. Feeling quite horny, Tyhry began thinking about bringing an Anthony replicoid out of the Simulation of her nanite research facility in the Ekcolir Reality.

Scanning through the recording of Tyhry and Brak's Simulation adventure, Rylla found a late night play session during which Tyhry had gotten an uninterrupted hour in bed with Mary Harlan while she was inside the Simulation System. As Rylla watched the antics on the display screen as the two sexually aggressive women celebrated '69 in grand style, Rylla mused, "These were both long-term, open ended Interventions. At first glance, it seems like Nyrtia and Balok were working together, trying to accelerate technology develop in advance of the arrival of the alien fru'wu on Earth."

Tyhry noted, "But Edison's first wife died before reaching 30... do you really want to call that long-term?" Tyhry could not suppress her curiosity about what was going on out in the hot tub, but when she sent a telepathic probe towards Brak, she was now frustrated by the fact that Brak had thrown up a block against Tyhry's telepathic mind. Respecting Brak's privacy, Tyhry again resisted the impulse to look out the back window and see what was happening in the hot tub.

Sedruth, still in the physical form of Kate from 1869, came into the house and all wet and warm, got into the big recliner with Tyhry. Sedruth said, "Brak has penetrated all of Mary's mysteries, but you'll have to wait until they end their play session before you can question him and find out what he learned. He now knows the mind pattern of the 'Mary femtozoan' and can trace it through the Sedron Time Stream."

"What are you up to, Sedruth?" Rylla turned away from her review of Brak's adventure inside the Simulator and scolded Sedruth, "Out in the hot tub you were egging him on. You are worse than that devilish Tad Lincoln."

Still persisting in use of the physical body form of Kate, Sedruth briefly transformed his head into that of Tad Lincoln. Sedruth told Rylla, "Using the Viewer, you failed to notice that I was playing the role of Tad for that entire weekend."

Rylla glared at Tyhry and asked, "You knew this?"

Tyhry giggled, "Sedruth made no effort to hide the fact from Brak and I that he had hijacked Tad's body during that Simulation run. I think Bill noticed a change in 'Tad', but did not complain."

Kate gave a delicate shrug of her shoulders. "Brak needs to start learning how to mix business with pleasure. Out there in the hot tub, I simply encouraged him to not be afraid of Mary. He quickly learned that even though she's an Interventionist agent, she does not bite."

Just then, one of the Anthony replicoids arrived, emerging from the Reality Simulation System. Wasting no time, Anthony picked up Tyhry and carried her down the hallway to her bedroom. Rylla complained to Sedruth, "Why don't you share with us the differential analysis? What changes did these two Interventions cause to the Ekcolir Reality?"

Kate giggled. "You still don't respect the abilities of the bumpha? It is quite simple, really. The Mary Stilwell Intervention canceled out the negative effects of the Mary Harlan intervention."

"Negative effects?"

"Oh, you know... things like worsened greenhouse gas levels, early discovery of hierions, use of nuclear bombs to end the war in Europe in 1918... it is a rather long list, actually. Anyhow, after just ten years of living with Edison, Mary Stilwell was re-assigned by Balok the bumpha to a new task."

"Really?" Rylla glanced out the window and confirmed that Brak and Mary were still playing in the hot tub. Rylla asked Sedruth, "What was her next assignment?" When Rylla turned her head away from the back window, she discovered that Kate was gone. Rylla requested help from Sedruth to help her quickly search through the three days that Tyhry and Brak had spent in 1869, but Sedruth did not respond. Such silence from Sedruth usually meant that Rylla was wasting her time and thinking down a dead-end thought path.

Finally, Brak and Mary came inside, their faces and bodies flushed and both still sporting their spiky little erections. They got into the recliner together and Brak used clothing nanites to cover their bodies with a fluffy blanket.

Rylla began to interrogate Mary, "According to Sedruth, Balok gave you a new assignment, so you let Mary die and just moved on, abandoning the Edison Intervention?"

"I don't know," Mary replied. "You obviously know more about my future than I do."

Brak told Rylla, "I've familiarized myself with Mary. Thank you for such a wonderful birthday present, grandma."

From the way the blanket was bouncing, it was all to obvious to Rylla that Mary and Brak were continuing to play with each-others genitals. Rylla was tempted to give the two young lovers privacy and Rylla thought about going to Tyhry's room and making use of Anthony for a means to grab a quick orgasm, but Brak explained, "I've found Mary's femtozoan at its next mission along the timeline." Brak told Mary, "The femtozoan transferred out of your body and went into your daughter, Marion."

Mary asked, "My daughter... she was fathered by Edison?"

"Yes." Brak explained what he had learned via his ability to telepathically obtain information from the Sedron Time Stream, "Your daughter arranged to be in Germany during World War I where she collected information on technical advances like methods for industrial scale production of ammonia from nitrogen gas. Marion sent a constant stream of technical data back to her father in coded messages."

Rylla asked, "That flow of German secrets continued through the second world war?

Isaac and Marcia.

Mary had lost interest in the conversation and her head had disappeared under the blanket. Rylla could see that her head was now positioned above Brak's crotch. Brak shook his head and he told Rylla, "No, the femtozoan from the future moved on to a new host in 1921. For its next mission, the femtozoan ended up inside Marcia, the sister of Isaac Asimov."

"What!" Rylla was shocked. Isaac Asimov had always been an obsession for Eddy and Rylla had thought herself very familiar with the life and science fiction of Asimov. "That's amazing. It forces us to wonder..."

Brak chuckled. "There is no doubt. I have clear data from Marcia via the Sedron Time Stream. Isaac taught Marcia how to read and in one branch of the Ekcolir Reality, they both began writing fiction at a young age. In any case, the "Mary femtozoan" remained inside Marcia until 1942. It was only then that the 'Mary femtozoan' transferred into a second Mary Stilwell."

Mary's head re-emerged from under the blanket. She asked Brak, "Another Mary Stilwell?"

Brak kissed the tip of Mary's nose. "That was the Mary Stilwell who went on to write for Star Trek."

 Rylla mused, "Eddy once told me that Star Trek had existed in the Ekcolir Reality, but I never paid any attention. I don't recall that he mentioned Mary Stilwell, a writer for Star Trek." Rylla had been watching the time. "I'm going to call Australia for a check-in with Nora and the kids." She activated her vcom and went outside for a walk while in communication with family in Perth.

Brak and Mary came out from under their blanket. Just then, Eddy and Zeta emerged from the Reality Simulation System. Eddy looked out the window and saw Rylla departing on her walk. He turned to Brak and said, "I thought she would never leave."

Brak introduced Mary to Zeta and Eddy then he excitely told Eddy, "Sedruth relented and finally revealed the truth to me!" Brak had one hand on Mary's cute little erection as he explained, "Mary is a Huxy, a human variant with an H chromosome."

Zeta hugged Mary and took her down the hallway. "Welcome tho the Final Reality, my dear. I'm sure that Brak prefers you naked, but let's find you some of Tyhry's old clothes to wear."

Eddy sat down at his computer and said, "Sedruth, show me the Accelerator."

On the Viewer appeared what looked like a younger Eddy, seated at a copy of the computer workstation that gave access to the Reality Simulation System. Eddy asked Brak, "Are you sure about this, son?"

Brak nodded. "Nothing has changed, Pa. Everything is turning out exactly how we saw it in our visions of the future... only now, it all makes sense."

"Well, even if you now understand the purpose of the bumpha Intervention into Edison's life, not everyone would be willing to throw away five years of their life for their girl."

Brak laughed. "I'll be in there with your replicoid, learning... completing my education. Think of all that we will discover... together!"

Mary plays with hair nanites.

Sedruth activated the Portal and Brak passed through, entering the special Simulation that they called the Accelerator. Just then, Zeta and Mary returned to the great-room. Mary was partially dressed, but still playing with some of Tyhry's old clothing and hair nanites. Eddy got up from the computer workstation and asked Zeta, "Did you speak to Tyhry?"

"She sent me a quick telepathic message. She wants one more minute with Anthony so that she can grab another orgasm." Zeta looked suspiciously at the computer that provided access to the Reality Simulation System. 

Mary asked, "Where is Brak?"

Eddy lied and said, "He went outside to find Rylla and let her know her that Z and I are here."

Tyhry and Anthony came into the room. Tyhry hugged her parents and said, "I thought you two were in Rome."

Zeta nodded. "We have been in Rome, but it is one of Sedruth's tricks."

"A Trick?"

Eddy explained, "A Simulation of Rome, where time passes much slower than here in Reality. Call it an anti-aging trick."

Tyhry stammered, "But..."

Eddy told his daughter, "Tyhry, your father is an old man. This is the only way I found to complete the Brak time loop. You know I've had visions of myself with Brak when he is a young man."

Tyhry opened up a telepathic link to Eddy and verified what he was saying. Tyhry complained to Sedruth, "You should have told me about this. I never imagined using the Reality Simulation System to slow the human aging process."

Sedruth said, "That's not true. You thought of this possibility long ago. However, when you thought of it, Anthony edited the idea out of your memories."

Tyhry glared at Anthony and told him, "You should have told me!"

Anthony shrugged. "Manny put a memory lock on me. I have not been able to speak to you about using the Simulation System for this purpose."

Tyhry stamped her foot. "I should have known that Manny was involved."

Just then, Manny the bumpha appeared. She embraced Tyhry and said, "Had you known, the path of your life would have been deflected. You would not have correctly played your role in extracting Mary from the Simulation System."

The front door opened and Rylla returned inside. "Eddy! Zeta!" After hugging Eddy and Zeta and hearing how they had been hiding inside the Simulation System, Rylla told Eddy, "We've stumbled onto something amazing about the Ekcolir Reality. There were two Mary Stilwells, both of them Interventionists-"

Eddy raised his hand and waited for Rylla to pause her excited rush of words. When Rylla fell silent Eddy calmly said, "Yes, I know. Sedruth explained all of this when he told me how I could live to be old enough to complete the time loop I knew existed. In the Ekcolir Reality, all of Humanity was caught up in complex time loop that gave humans the ability to explore the galaxy. It started with a Star Trek television series and then an actual Federation of Planets was formed, modeled on the fictional one from the 1960s television series."

Tyhry said, "So that's why the Ekcolir Reality Simulation has always been locked, preventing me from seeing the future of that Reality."

Sedruth said, "Your knowledge of the Star Trek time loop had to be delayed until today or else you would have interfered with Brak's plan."

Mary asked, "Where is Brak? I lost telepathic contact with him."

Manny explained, "Brak is inside the Simulation System."

Tyhry told Eddy, "Well, I did as you asked. I kept him out of the Simulation System until today. Now I suppose he'll always be going off into the System for his own adventures."

Eddy laughed. "I'm glad to see that you are as clueless as I was when you started using the Simulator. When you were young, I told you not to make use of the Simulation System without my supervision, but you ignored the restrictions I imposed. Similarly, Brak is going to use the Simulation System as he sees fit, regardless of your wishes. Right now, Brak is using the Simulator to age himself... matching his biological age to that of his beloved Mary."

Mary asked, "How is that possible?"

Sedruth explained, "Brak is now inside an accelerator Simulation with Eddy's replicoid, a Simulation where time is passing rapidly."

Tyhry giggled. "That's impossible."

Manny told Tyhry, "You have been carefully led to believe that the Reality Simulation System exists in the Hierion Domain. Have you never wondered how data must be transferred from the Sedron Time Stream of the Sedron Domain to the Simulation System in the Hierion Domain?"

Tyhry shrugged. "I assumed that some type of sedron was used to transmit the required data from the Sedron Domain to the Hierion Domain."

Sedruth now revealed the truth. "The Reality Simulation System was created by the Huaoshy, inside the Sedron Domain."

Tyhry asked, "Then when using the Simulation System, our bodies must become... sedrons?"

Manny nodded. "Correct."

"Then we are sedronites, our bodies have been converted into zeptites?"

Manny asked, "Tyrhy, what difference does it make if your body is composed of hadrons or hierions or sedrons? You have grown comfortable imagining that you are composed of hierions, but does it really matter if you are composed of sedrons, instead?"

Tyhry said, "It does matter because when I took HySe through space at faster than light speeds, I thought I had proven that Humanity could spread to the stars in the Final Reality. Now I'm again in doubt. Maybe it is as I always feared... only sedron matter can travel faster than light."

Just then, Brak emerged from the Simulation System. Mary rushed to embrace Brak who now stood as tall as Mary, having aged five years inside the Simulation System.

Zeta asked, "This is not some trick? Brak has not simply had his femtobots reconfigured into an older body plan?"

Manny shook her head. "None of you humans are ready to have that kind of femtobot programming skill." Manny disappeared.

Rylla asked Eddy, "Did you know about the Mary femtozoan and her role in the Ekcolir Reality?"

Brak did not let Eddy answer. "At first, Eddy and I only new about the Edison Intervention." Brak gazed into Mary's eyes and squeezed with his arm that was around her shoulders. "There in 1859, Mary was not trying to speed Edison's progress on inventing new technologies. Her mission was to deflect Edison's activities. By keeping him focused on telegraphic communications for ten years, Edison never shifted into research on radioactivity at the turn of the century."

Eddy asked, "Edison got involved in research on radioactivity?"

Sedruth activated the Viewer and displayed a moving image of a nuclear bomb blast. "In the reality that was caused by Nyrtia's Harlan Intervention, Edison's research turned to atomic physics and the first nuclear bomb was detonated in 1918, ending the world war. In that short-lived micro-Reality, there never was a World War II. A League of Nations formed in the 1920s and decades of peaceful technological advance prepared Humanity for the arrival of the alien fru'wu in the 1950s. However, fossil fuel use was accelerated and global warming led to catastrophic sea level rise. Of course, the bumpha stepped in and Mary Stilwell made sure that Edison never worked with neutrons and atomic fission."

Brak added, "Only when I met Mary and learned her mind pattern could I learn about her later missions on Earth in the Ekcolir Reality." Brak told Eddy, "And I just spent five years with your replicoid, studying the many micro-Realities of the Ekcolir Reality."

Eddy sat down at the computer workstation and told Brak, "Show me what you learned."

Brak began guiding Eddy to the key events of how the Mary femtozoan from the future had impacted the development of the Star Trek television series in the Ekcolir Reality. Rylla, who had long studied the Ekcolir Reality, brought a chair from the dining room and sat beside Eddy.

Watching over Brak's shoulder, Mary complained to Tyhry, "I thought Brak would want to celebrate his aged body with me."

For a moment, Tyhry gazed at the backs of Eddy and Brak, who were both completely absorbed with the Viewing module of the Reality Simulation System. "The apple did not fall far from the tree. Brak and Eddy are both obsessed with history." Tyhry turned her gaze upon Mary. "Brak will get around to his celebration with you... eventually." Tyhry was impressed how Mary was using her hair nanites to make herself look exotic and sexy. "Brak is smitten with you, but I must say... it seems strange that you have so quickly fallen for him."

"Wonderful, not strange." Mary shifted her clothing nanites and revealed her little pink erection to Tyhry. Tyhry saw that Mary's penis seemed to be vibrating. Mary explained, "Brak is using his telekinetic abilities to provide me with pleasure... continually. I think this sort of use of technology-assisted telekinesis is what the Huxy subspecies was originally designed for."

Zeta giggled. "You are a lucky girl. I suppose Manny planned for this to be your fate, all the way back in the Ekcolir Reality."

Mary again covered her genitals. "If so, I should have thanked Manny. She seems as sly as Balok... and just as manipulative."

"Manny takes care of her friends." Watching her husband Eddy and Brak as they used the Viewer, Zeta added, "It is not a bad life, being in second place in a man's heart."

Tyhry glanced at Anthony. "Mary, you have not been introduced to Anthony."

Mary looked up into the face of the very tall Anthony. Zeta said, "Let's go to the hot tub. That's the best way to introduce her to Anthony and his special features."

Tyhry took Anthony by the hand and led the way out back to the hot tub. She told her mother, "I get the first orgasm. It was very rude the way you interrupted Anthony and I, earlier."

Zeta complained, "Really, child! You should respect your elders. I have not had a chance to play with Anthony in months..."

Mary stopped listening to the bickering between Tyhry and Zeta when they all undressed and climbed into the hot tub. Mary was intrigued by what she could see of Anthony's "special features" and for the next hour she forgot all about Brak.

Replicoid Secrets

Image Credits

This blog post is an update on my efforts to gain access to the vast information resources of the Hierion Domain. During the past year, I've experimented with techniques for altering my brain's activity in the hope that I might gain control of the Bimanoid Interface.

With the help of first Ivory and now, currently, her clone, Anney, I've learned how to retain memories from those times when my conscious mind is "in control of" my replicoid. It appears that my replicoid must "invite me" to "take control", and so far, I can only use the Bimanoid Interface while I'm in a particular stage of sleep.

Special thanks to Miranda Hedman (www.mirish.deviantart.com) for the DeviantArt stock photograph "Black Cat 2 - stock" that I used the image shown to the right.

In effect, if "someone" such as Anney's replicoid wants to tell me something, then I can be "summoned" into the virtual reality of the Hierion Domain. Most recently, I was "invited" to the Domain so that Anney could share with me her paranoid views on the Overseer-Interventionist dynamic that she believes has shaped the history of human civilization on Earth.

Anney and Ajax. (image credits, + below)

When I "awaken" within the virtual reality of the Hierion Domain, I often find myself in one particular location. I think of it as "Anney's workshop". Sometimes there are others there, usually members of the Dead Widower Society, but it is Anney's special place where she works to explore the Sedronic Domain and share what she has learned with other Earthlings.

To give you a sense of Anney's power to control "her world", I've tried to depict her ability to use nanites to not only modify her own physical appearance but bring into existence the components and elements of her workshop. Shown to the left: Anney assembling her "pet" Ajax from nanorobotic components.

Ajax is one of the more alarming feature's of Anney's workshop. "He" acts like a human and speaks. According to Anney, Ajax originated as a "duplicated replicoid" and is a kind of sounding board for Anney while she is trying to "write up" her reports.

Example of another "place" frequented by Anney's
replicoid in the Hierion Domain (source)

I don't really have the proper vocabulary to explain what I mean by "reports". In the Hierion Domain, information is passed around in the form of infites: information nanites.

A visit to Anney's World involves me "awakening" inside the body of my own replicoid. Anney then  confirms that I have "arrived" and she sends a swarm of infites into me. Those infites trigger a kind of virtual reality experience, often allowing me to become aware of something that Anney has been studying, either in the Hierion Domain or in the Sedronic Domain.

Usually Anney herself is present in the physical form that she claims is her "natural form", the form that her biological body would have had if she had been allowed to fully express all of her Preland genes. Of course, she has complete control over the shape of her replicoid and sometimes she appears to me in alternate forms.

Atlantis Clones. "Atlantis" is another
"place" within the Hierion Domain.

Anney is frustrated by my slow progress. Some nights I fail to even "cross over" into the Hierion Domain. Other times I bombard Anney with so many stupid questions that she becomes sad and bored. I sense that there is a great strain on Anney and she has admitted that a crisis is looming. The Dead Widowers had expected to be able to share what they know about the secret history of humanity by publishing their accounts. However, the tryp'At seem to have disrupted those plans.

source

Anney looks upon me as the only viable alternative to direct communications between the Dead Widowers and the people of Earth. She despairs when I'm bumbling around with my poor control of the Bimanoid Interface and making it obvious that I know so little about the secret history of Earth. I feel like I'm making great progress, but Anney seems to think I'm: "...too old to learn the Interface."

Like her sister Angela, Anney grew up using the Bimanoid Interface and she is at home in the Hierion Domain. For me, my experiences of the Domain are disorienting and difficult to remember once my conscious mind returns to the Hadronic Domain.

source

Anney has warned me that some day I might return to the Hierion Domain and find that she and all the Dead Widowers have been exiled from the virtual reality that allows the replicoids of Earthlings to have a shared place in the Hierion Domain. According to Anney, the virtual reality could be "reprogrammed" so as to exclude alien-human hybrids like the Atlantis Clones.

The Resh^Ki Replicoid
My most recent "visit" with Anney in the Hierion Domain came to an abrupt end when Resk^Ki showed up. I woke up back here in the Hadronic Domain thinking that Resk^Ki wanted to tell me something, something that Anney did not want me to hear.

Anney has previously used the term "exphile", but now she finally tried to explain to me what it means. Millions of years ago, the basic Sedronite chromosome set was engineered by the pek. According to Anney, the pek were the original "X-philes". They designed a Sedronite chromosome set for which there were two sex chromosomes: X and H.

The Sedronite HXX chromosome set.

The "H" chromosome was a modified version of the primordial ape X chromosome that had been engineered to carry a modified version of the Y chromosome at one end. Most Sedronites are hermaphrodites with three sex chromosomes: HXX.

Sedronite hermaphrodites usually give birth to either hermaphroditic or female (XX) offspring. Female Sedronites can give birth to either hermaphrodites or female children. Quite rarely, an XY male can be born, but they are sickly due to only having one X chromosome.

"Family Tree" of the Sedronites.

Things got interesting when a dissident faction of the Nereids decided to transfer some of their artificial gene combinations back into the gene pool of the primates of Earth. Their efforts gradually resulted in the evolution of humans.

At the same time, the "dissident Nereids" (apparently they lived on a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy) were altering their own genes and the resulting life forms were known as the O'typ. The O'typ had three "genders", HX hermaphrodites, HY males and XX females. The XY chromosome complement did not produce viable offspring, but resulted in the growth of an endosymbiotic "soul brother" inside of its "mother".

Preland: almost human.

With time, some human gene combinations were transferred from humans into some of the descendants of the O'typ. This produced a new species, the ry'A that shared some of the telepathic abilities of the Neanderthals.

According to Anney, the pek were horrified by the entire Nereid intervention on Earth that resulted in the human species. Apparently there has long been an effort by the pek to find a way of replacing we humans with some other primate species such as the Prelands.

I've heard this tale of "Preland replacement" of humans from several sources, but I'm skeptical about its validity. As described in my previous blog post, I've begun to have a small amount of luck recovering memories from the time when Resk^Ki was still good friends with Ivory in the Hierion Domain. It has always been the contention of Resk^Ki that the Prelands were created as part of the Trysta-Grean Pact. Apparently there are other "unpopular" ideas that Resk^Ki would like to share with me, but Anney (and, maddeningly, also my replicoid) is now blocking my access to Resk^Ki.

see the faestock gallery

I don't enjoy the feeling that my replicoid is manipulating me and keeping me from having full access to the information that is available in the Hierion Domain. In particular, I'm quite curious to discover what Resk^Ki can tell me about the tryp'At.

Image Credits.  To make the illustration of "Anney's World" (a depiction of her "workshop" in the Hierion Domain) I used three stock images from the DeviantART website. For the background setting, I used "Futuristic Columns" by E. Barbeau (visit the Cassy-Blue gallery of stock images). To depict Anney, I used "Jedi - Stock Pose Reference 21" by faestock. The cat is from "Snow Leopard Stock 19" by HOTNStock.
