Decade in re🆅iew

A tradition here at the wikifiction blog is the annual Year In Review blog post (see the 2015 review). Here in this blog post, below, I'm going to construct a Decade in Review for the time period June 2015 to May 2025.

The main goal of this Decade in Review blog post is to create on outline of my fiction writing projects from the past ten years, with a special emphasis on cataloguing those stories that I never completed.

 AI. I'm going to continue using text-to-image software including Whisk to make illustrations such as the one shown in Figure 1 which was built upon a similar illustration that was included in my 2015 Year in Review blog post.

Figure 2. Science fiction
in the Ekcolir Reality.

 A Gohrlay Circle. In June of 2015, my blog post called "The Gohrlay Circle" concerned the important role of my fictional character Gohrlay in allowing humans to have a future in which they are allowed to spread from Earth to many habitable exoplanets of our galaxy.

Here in May 2025, my recently completed novel "D*" has a seemingly rather minor role for Gohrlay. However, I imagine that the main character in "D*", Tyhry, is the daughter of Gohrlay.

The image shown in Figure 2 is an imaginary science fiction magazine cover from the Ekcolir Reality. For my stories of the Exode Saga, I like to imagine that the science fiction genre was created in the Ekcolir Reality in order to serve as a means of preparing Earthlings for First Contact with space aliens. The space aliens who visited Earth in the Ekcolir Reality were the fru'wu.

Figure 3. The fru'wu Intervention.

I've always depicted Gohrlay as a Neanderthal who lived in the First Reality while Tyhry is a tryp'At replicoid who was born in the Final Reality. Gohrlay is what I call a "Fixed Point in Time", jargon used by time travelers that means many replicoid copies of Gohrlay were made, assuring that in Earth's Reality Chain, every Reality would have at least one analogue of Gohrlay. This was done because it was the mind pattern of Gohrlay that was used to create the positronic brain of R. Gohrlay, the first positronic robot. The analogue of Gohrlay who is a character in "D*" is called Zeta Gohrlay; she is the long-time companion of Eddy, who is Tyhry's father.

Figure 4. Anthony and Tyhry.

 Fan Fiction. Most of my science fiction stories are fan fiction. My inclusion of positronic robots in "D*" signals that the story is Isaac Asimov-inspired fan fiction. The positronic robots in "D*" are what I call "probots", replicoid-based artificial life-forms that retain a positronic brain, but those brains are composed of femtobot components. Named probots in "D*" are Anthony, Wendy and Pyrk.

As a tryp'At, Tyhry has four breasts (see Figure 4). One of my regrets about "D*" is that I did not take the time to provide the tryp'At characters with their proper tryp'At anatomical features in the illustrations for the story. Tyhry has pointed tryp'At style ears, but she often hides them under her nanite-enhanced hair.

Figure 5. Luri (teleporting) and Grean.

 Luri of Tamari. In June of 2015, I wrote an origins story about an Etruscan princess named Luri. I depicted Luri as growing up on Earth as a telepath under the guidance of an Interventionist agent named Thrukta. Luri was "ahead of her time", an Earthling who had been crafted as a telepath with the ability to obtain information from the Sedron Domain. Only later, in the time of Tyhry, could such a woman be given the ability to control alien technologies like teleportation systems and nanites. 

However, Luri was able to obtain information telepathically from Thrukta's mind and by way of what I would later call the Sedron Time Stream. Luri had the concept that she could be teleported off of Earth (see Figure 5) while her teleportation duplicate might continue to live on Earth and pass into the human population of Earth her special gene combinations. Luri was given knowledge and artificial memories through the medium of infites.

From the perspective of 2025, I know that in 2015, I was wedded to the idea that Interventionist agents on Earth needed to use human form so as not to be detected (by Observers and Overseers)  Thus, in the as being Interventionists (see Anney's book Luri of Tamari). Later, in my 2025 story "D*", I developed the idea that advanced replicoid technology could be used to make "artificial humans" that could simulate the growth of a human being from embryo to adult. Thus, in the 21st century of the Final Reality, where there were no Overseers, Tyhry could grow up on Earth as a femtobot replicoid without ever being aware that she was an artificial life form. 

Figure 7. Stories from the Writers Block.

 The Writers Block. Back in 2015, I was very concerned with details of how the Secret History of Humanity could be told to people living in the Final Reality. I developed the idea of a Writers Block, a "place" in the Hierion Domain where Isaac Asimov (and later Mary Godwin) could work to develop the science fiction genre, often sending story ideas from the Writers Block to authors on Earth.

Within the Ekcolir Reality, Raymond Cummings (see Figure 7) was one of the writers on Earth who was assisted by his replicoid, an artificial copy of his analog from the Asimov Reality. However, in many ways the science fiction literary genre became too successful in the Ekcolir Reality.

Later, in the Final Reality, the archives of the Writers Block could be mined for old stories that had been crafted by residents of the Writers Block. Such stories formed an important part of vast knowledge that Tyhry had about Deep Time, knowledge that helped guide her adventures (such as those described in "D*") that took place inside the Reality Simulation System.

 Dead Widowers. In 2015, I was often using my other blogs (in addition to the wikifiction blog) as receptacles for my science fiction stories. For example, I had created a blog that I pretended was used to make available on Earth stories about events in Deep Time that might offend the tryp'At Overseers. At the Dead Widowers blog, I posted a story called "The Asimov Reality". I imagined that Angela Fersoni could access information from the Sedron Time Steam and pass that information on to others who could include it in "science fiction" stories, even if the information was factual reporting on events from past Realities.

Exode

Figure 8. Exode in 2025.

In 2015 I was developing what I thought of as the Exode Trilogy, a series of three novels about Earth's Reality Chain. The Foundations of Eternity was the first part of the Exode Trilogy that I wrote. Following after that was Trysta and Ekcolir, featuring Trysta, the last remaining Asterothrope. The third novel was called Exode and I originally imagined it as a strange love story about Parthney and Kach.

Figure 9. Replicoid assembly.

 Replicoids. During the past ten years of science fiction story writing, what began as a way to control the "butterfly effect" has evolved into a useful way to make artificial copies of human beings.

The image shown in Figure 9 was generated by Whisk. The original image that was used as is in an Aug 15, 2015 blog post called Life By The Numbers. In that blog post, it is described how after the original biological Gohrlay (who was one of the last humans of the First Reality) was destructively scanned, she was later re-built as an artificial life form: a replicoid. 

Now, here in 2025, I like to imagine that reconstruction was carried out by Manny the bumpha, but in 2015 I had not yet discovered Manny and developed her as a character in the Exode Saga.

Figure 10. Replicoid by WOMBO.

 WOMBO Dream. For the past few weeks, I've been unable to use Mr. Wombo while illustrating my stories. My best guess is that nobody at the company uses that online software, so they did not even notice that it was not working.

2025 WOMBO update.

One of the reasons I like using WOMBO Dream is that it never cares if I ask it to make images of living people. This has allowed me to adopt famous people for generating the appearance of characters such as Tyhry and Marda. I did not like the way Whisk depicted the nanite stream in Figure 9, so I had Mr. Wombo generate this nanite and the head of the replicoid. For Figure 10, I asked for an image of Kate Jackson, which is how I have been making depictions of Marda for my stories.

Femtozoan Transplantation

Marda and Brak.

Below on this blog page is Part 12 of the science fiction story "D*", the last part of this 50,000 word novel.

Back in 2019, I wrote Part 2 of another science fiction story called Fru'wu: Our Alien Prometheus. That story involved Georgy White, but the main character was Colleen. The replicoid of Mary Godwin was depicted as living at the Writers Block and as having lived for a time with Nereids. In Part 12 of "D*" (below), Georgy's daughter, Alexina is impregnated by Amiante, the son of Stacy after the Nereid nanites deployed by Tyhry have reverted Alexina and Amiante to their tryp'At hermaphrodite form. 

 The Origin of Brak. Tyhry's parents become the first people to use the re-activated teleportation equipment that is inside Observer Base. Tyhry's sister, Rylla begins her study of Grendel sex hormones. Amiante meets Tyhry's friend Marda, and soon Marda is also impregnated.

A Grendel and a synpaz onboard the HySe.

Can Mary's role in "D*" be counted as Part 3 of Fru'wu: Our Alien Prometheus? In 2019, I wrote, "Maybe in 12 years I will write Part 3 of Fru'wu: Our Alien Prometheus, and reveal what happens to the steamy relationship between Colleen and Georgy." I imagine that Colleen has been using the Reality Simulation equipment at Observer Base to mine past Realities for the technology needed to build an interstellar spaceship. Georgy and Stacy have built the HySe, but until Tyhry learns to use teleportation technology, it has not been possible to bring sedron fuel into Observer Base of the Final Reality from where it is obtained and purified in the Ekcolir Reality with the help of fru'wu technology.

The HySe fuel supply.

Amiante, Rylla, Marda, Eddy and Tyhry go to Mt. Picachu and use the long-range teleportation equipment to extract HySe from Observer Base and move it into orbit around Earth. Using her Nereid femtobots, Tyhry makes an hierion containment field that allows her to bring sedron fuel from the Ekcolir Reality to the HySe. 

As the HySe is readied for its first flight, Marda discovers that she is pregnant (Brak). There is discussion about finding a habitable exoplanet that would be suitable for forming a society consisting of telepathic humans.

Tyhry provides the younger copy of Tyna with a second femtozoan, ensuring that Tyna will be able to successfully navigate the challenges of growing up as a tryp'At.

Tyna (left) and a hierion containment experiment.

When Tyhry provides the 4-year-old Tyna with Tyhry's femtozoan, Tyna then has two distinct femtozoans, one endowed with all of Tyhry's knowledge. The 4-year-old Tyna has a vision of the future and reports that Mylana's daughter, Amany, will have Brak's children and they will be the root of a telepathic human civilization in the Final Reality. 

At the end of Part 12 of "D*", Mylana admits that she is pregnant and that Amany is already growing inside her. The HySe begins it search for a habitable exoplanet.

Part 12 of "D*" (below) begins about 12 hours after the events at the end of Part 11.

Part 12 of D* (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4)(Part 5)(Part 6)(Part 7)(Part 8)(Part 9)(Part 10)(Part 11)

Tyhry, Stacy and Georgy

Tyhry was laying on the bed between Stacy and Georgy who had finally fallen asleep, blissfully exhausted by their long and energetic sexplay session with Tyhry. Tyhry was constructing many femtotubes, including one that linked into the Writers Block, and which allowed her nanite probes to monitor what her parents were doing during their first visit to Observer Base. 

Tyhry found no limit to the number of femtotubes that she could deploy and use at the same time and she could even control devices remotely through a femtotube. FOr example, she had sent her anti-gravity aircar to the airport in Arizona. Having satisfied her sexual needs by sexplay with Stacy and Georgy, Tyhry was now waiting for her sister Rylla to arrive in Arizona after the long flight from Australia. Tyhry was feeling some guilt over enticing Rylla to travel by air just before Tyhry was able to activate the teleportation equipment at Observer Base. Tyhry told herself: at least I'll be able to teleport Rylla back home.

Tyhry passed through her femtotube and arrived at the airport in Arizona just as Rylla arrived at the gate. The sisters saw each other and waved and after a brief hug, walked down the busy concourse. Rylla had packed light and only carried a backpack with a tissue collection kit. Rylla demanded, "Who is this Grendel that you met?"

Ver'la

Tyhry explained, "You will be able to collect samples from a young Grendel... her name is Jymy. She's only five years old, but her mother arranged for me to obtain some very useful programmable nanites from the Nereids."

"Wow! So you found two Grendels. And you also met a Nereid?"

"Yes, after being teleported to the Galactic Core, I visited Ver'la. Jymy is now inside the Ekcolir Reality Simulator."

Rylla had once before visited Tyhry's nanite research laboratory in the Ekcolir Reality. That had been on the occasion of the first flight of the interstellar spaceship Sedrover. Now Rylla said, "I thought maybe Marda would be here to greet me."

The two sisters stepped through a door that had a sign saying "EMPLOYEES ONLY" and they went out onto the tarmac where they got into Tyhry's flying car which had been hovering near the terminal building, cloaked. Soon they were flying towards their parent's retirement home in the mountains. Tyhry assured Rylla, "Your daughter is fine. I asked her to stay in the Ekcolir Reality Simulation and care for Jymy and another girl who is only four years old."

"Ah, yes, the younger copy of Tyna." Rylla often communicated with Eddy and so she had a general knowledge of Tyhry's recent activities while investigating the Asimov Reality. "I'm surprised that you have taken these children away from their parents."

"In both cases, they asked to be taken out of the Asimov Reality and allowed to have an adventure in the Ekcolir Reality. I learned from Tyna that I am an artificial life-form and the Grendels helped me obtain advanced programmable femtobots, so I felt obligated to do favors for these two youngsters." For the rest of the flight, Tyhry caught Rylla up on recent events inside the Reality Simulation System and at Observer base. 

As the aircar began to land, Tyhry said, "Mom and dad just teleported back home." Tyhry parked her flying car in the garage and then led Rylla inside their parents' home. After hugging her daughters, Zeta asked Rylla, "Did you bring that new klox derivative?"

Rylla handed Zeta a small vial. "This should have fewer side-effects than other klox peptides, but use caution and don't over-dose yourself." The women went into the great room and Eddy looked up from his computer. He told Rylla, "I wish you had been able to go with me to the Writers Block."

Rylla hugged Eddy and said, "I'll get there eventually, but I'm on a tight schedule. I can't be away from home very long... I must get back to work by Monday... so, I only got this weekend off, which means a hectic whirlwind tour mostly devoted to travel back and forth across the Pacific."

Tyhry said, "Then we better waste no time getting into the Ekcolir Reality."

Zeta said, "I'm going to stay here and take care of the cats."

Usually when Tyhry was off on her adventures, a replicoid copy of Tyhry remained at home and had frequent long sexplay session with Anthony the robot. However, that Tyhry replicoid was now inside the Ekcolir Reality Simulation, helping to care for the four-year-old Tyna and Jymy the Grendel. Tyhry told her mother, "Anthony will be pleased to have your company." 

Eddy activated the Reality Simulator System and Tyhyr, Rylla and Eddy entered into the Simulation, arriving inside Tyhry's nanite research laboratory. They were greeted by sounds of sexual delight coming from one of the Marda replicoids that lived in the Simulation. A replicoid copy of Anthony and that replicoid copy of Marda were enthusiastically making love on a chair in the far corner of the lab. 

The Marda replicoid reluctantly pulled herself off of the Anthony replicoid and assembled her clothing nanites about herself. The Marda replicoid told Tyhry, "Everyone is onboard Sedrover."

Tyhry told the replicoid, "Sorry to interrupt your play session." Tyhry turned and led Rylla and Eddy out to the spaceship.

Rylla said, "Maybe I should have you make one of these Anthony replicoids that I could take back to Australia. They seem mighty handy to have around." 

Rylla (left) is introduced by Tyhry to Aymy (right) and
the older copy of Tyna onboard Sedrover. Marda in the middle.

Tyhry said, "I tried to tell you that two years ago and you ignored me." Tyhry had been wondering what would happen when Rylla finally met her two mind clones, Georgy and Stacy, at Observer Base. She did not renew the offer to provide Rylla with an Anthony replicoid.

Inside Sedrover, they found the older Tyna copy and her mother, Aymy, working with a replicoid copy of Tyhry to map out plans for exploring the galaxy. After introductions and some small talk, Tyhry said, "I'll introduce Rylla to Jymy and then we can get started on our effort to get HySe space-worthy." Tyhry told Marda, "I'll meet you in the lab in five minutes."

Tyhry guided Rylla to the cabin where the younger Tyna and Jymy were studying mathematics with the help of two tutors, Marda and the Tyhry replicoid who often resided in the Final Reality at the home of Tyhry's parents. After introductions, Rylla immediately began collecting biological samples from the young Grendel, Jymy, while Tyna was hounding Rylla for a sample of the newest knox sex hormone derivative that Rylla had recently developed and synthesized. Rylla provided Tyna with one small klox pill and warned, "Don't ingest that klox until you have a good six hour time block with nothing else you need do."

Tyna told Rylla, "Jymy and I are trying to telepathically link our minds and we need all the help we can get."

Telepathy experiment.

Tyhry took Tyna's hand and said, "Let's give Rylla a chance to do her sample collection." Tyhry led Tyna off of the spaceship and outside. They strolled into the garden that was along side the hanger building that held Sedrover when it was on Earth. Tyhry told Tyna, "Sit down over there on that bench." Tyna ran energetically through the garden and sat down, but she was squirming with impatience. Tyhry asked, "Are you ready to do this?"

Tyna asked, "Are you? It is you who is giving up your femtozoan".

Due to their nearly identical brain structures, Tyna and Tyhry already were in telepathic linkage, but now Tyhry formed a synapex linkage to the girl. Tyna said, "Amazing! We do not even need to touch." She had been expecting to form a synapex link between her tongue and one of Tyhry's nipples.

Reality Simulation

Tyhry explained, "I recently discovered that I can make invisibly thin synapex linkages using my Nereid nanites." Now with a direct physical connection between their two brains, for a minute Tyhry and Tyna allowed their two minds to better integrate, achieving the type of intimate telepathic synchronization of their minds that the tryp'At brain had been designed for. There in their shared mind space were their two femtozoans, sophisticated artificial life-forms that had guided the development of the minds of Tyhry and Tyna. Tyhry telepathically said: I'm now using a hierion probe to sever my link to my femtozoan.

A moment later, Tyna spoke out loud and said, "The transfer is complete. I successfully captured your femtozoan."

For a minute, Tyhry continued to monitor her femtozoan which was involved in some sort of sexual orientation activity with Tyna's femtozoan. Unable to telepathically follow exactly what the two artificial life-forms were doing, Tyhry withdrew the synapex link and asked Tyna, "Can you walk?"

Tyna stood up and said, "I feel fine. Thank you Tyhry! I'm going back to Jymy." Tyna ran back to Sedrover and Tyhry walked back to her nanite laboratory. The only change that Tyhry felt, now that she was without her femtozoan, was a dramatic lessening of her sex drive, which Tyhry welcomed and hoped would allow her to get more work done. She hoped that young Tyna's interest in sex, already quite high, would not be further heightened by Tyhry's femtozoan.

Back inside the laboratory, Marda told Tyhry, "Rylla has her samples and is on her way."

Flight of the Sedrover.

Tyhry asked to see the new fuel supply and air purification modules that had been prepared for HySe. Marda took Tyhry into a storage room off the side of the laboratory. Marda said, "I'm still skeptical that you can pop this big fuel module out of this Simulation."

Tyhry assured Marda, "With the femtotube technology that is now available to me, all the hierion and hadron components of the fuel module will be vastly reduced in effective size during the transfer between realities." Without telling Marda what she was doing, Tyhry extracted the precious sedron fuel from the module and stored it inside a hierion field of Tyhry's own design. Tyhry did not care to risk the loss of the precious fuel during the coming use of Phari teleportation technology. "The hadronic components of the two modules will be within the size limits for the inter-Reality portal of the Reality Simulation System."

Marda and Tyhry stepped back into the the laboratory and now Rylla was there, with her Grendel tissue and secretion samples. Tyhry popped them out of the Simulation and they arrived back in Arizona. Tyhry quickly confirmed that the sedron fuel she was carrying was still intact and safe within the hierion confinement field that Tyhry had crafted with the Nereid programmable femtobots.

Zeta was out in the hot tub with Anthony, but upon noticing the arrival of Tyhry and the others, Zeta quickly got out of the tub and came inside the house, dripping wet and not bothering to cover her beautiful naked body. Zeta asked Rylla, "Are you sure you don't want to stay here and play with Anthony until it is time to return to the airport?"

The Phari.

Rylla said, "That's a tempting offer, but I can sense you already consumed the klox. I'll leave Anthony to your sole attention. I really do want a quick visit to Observer Base before I return to Australia." Rylla placed her Grendel tissue samples in the big freezer in the basement of the house, then she was ready to go.

Tyhry was also in a hurry. She had a long-standing nervousness over the question of if humans could ever travel at speeds greater than the speed of light in the Final Reality. Her recent discovery that she was herself an artificial life-form composed of hierions took away none of the urgency of knowing if biological humans would be trapped on Earth. 

Trying to ignore her mother's big stiff Neanderthal nipples and the big pink glans of Zeta's erect clitoris where it jutted out through her dark pubic hair, Tyhry told Zeta, "Well, we will not distract you further from your sexplay... we are all off to Picachu." 

A minute later, Tyhry guided her flying car out of the garage and took her passengers up into the air and set course for Mt. Picachu. Marda asked Tyhry, "Do you really think that we will find a Grendel there under the mountain?"

Grendels

Tyhry shrugged. "No, my best guess is that the Grendels all left Earth. Manny is being quite strict about preventing aliens from altering events on Earth here in the Final Reality. In any case, we don't need help from any Grendels. I should be able to handle the Phari teleportation equipment myself."

Eddy asked, "How are you going to perform a teleportation of material from within the Reality Simulation System?"

"I've already place in the Ekcolir Reality a hierion containment field that can enclose the entire fuel module inside. My programmable femtobots will have to dis-assemble the hierion components of the module, but by using the containment field, we should not lose much if any of the sedron fuel. I'll just have to work quickly. But in actuality, it is really the Nereid femtobots that will do all the work... as long as my programming is correct."

Marda suggested, "Should you should do a practice trial without risking the fuel. It was half a year of careful work to get that many sedrons purified."

Tyhry had not discussed with anyone her new ability to make advanced hierion probes and fields by using the programmable femtobots that she had obtained from the Nereids. Tyhry was still concerned about the ethics of using that technology to transplant femtozoans, and until she had results from the test case of Tyna, Tyhry was keeping her new powers a secret. 

Tyhry and Manny

Tyhry shook her head and told Marda, "I've tested my femtobots. This should work, as long as I can actually control the alien teleportation equipment. I'm a bit worried about this because I've never previously tried to control Phari technology. It is significantly different from the teleportation equipment of Eternity. However, we must use the Phari teleportation equipment. The Phari were masters of the Hierion Domain and built teleportation systems that could move entire planets. The teleporter at Observer Base was designed to only move a few people back and forth to Earth. It can't shift anything as massive as the HySe, so we are quite dependent on the Phari equipment." During the rest of the flight to Mt. Picachu, Tyhry, Marda, Rylla and Eddy discussed the changes that were occurring at Observer base and who would constitute the crew of the HySe. 

Arriving inside the underground Phari teleportation station under Mt Picachu, the four Earthlings were surprised to find Amiante already there. He proudly said, "I've figured out how to deploy my own femtotubes, so I came on over here from Observer Base." Marda and Amiante began discussing the new air purification module that Marda had built for HySe. Tyhry and Eddy sat down at the control console for the long-range teleporter.

Tyhry talked through the teleporter system's controls, explaining them to her father and doing so just so that she was certain in her own mind how best to deploy her programmable nanites. Finally, Tyhry said, "Okay, here we go." She activated the programmed femtobots. "I think it is working!" Then after a minute she said, "Okay, Amiante... can you confirm that the HySe was just teleported?"

Amiante was using a femtotube link to his mother inside Observer Base as a way to monitor the status of the HySe. Amiante reported, "Stacy says that the HySe has disappeared from Observer Base."

The Ekcolir Reality.

Tyhry had a femtotube connecting to her parent's home that allowed her nanite drone probes to control and monitor the Reality Simulation equipment that Manny had long ago made available for Eddy's use. Working by remote control, Tyhry activated the protocol for pulling the two spaceship modules out of the Ekcolir Reality Simulator. After checking the data sent back through the femtotube linked to her parents' home, Tyhry reported, "The two spaceship modules were just successfully extracted from the Ekcolir Reality by the Simulator System. They are safe and intact in Arizona." 

Tyhry sighed with relief. She had not been certain that the Phari teleportation equipment would be able to pull the HySe out of Observer Base, but she did not trust the Phari teleportation equipment to send large objects into the Eternity space-time bubble. Tyhry still had no real understanding of the physical basis of the Eternity "space-time bubble", but as a teleportation target, Eternity was challenging. It seemed to behave like a part of the Hierion Domain, but it could contain conventional hadronic matter. Somehow, distance seemed to have a different meaning within the Hierion Domain. Tyhry told herself: I suppose the methods used to construct Eternity are a deep Huaoshy secret that will never be shared with primitive life-forms.

Now Tyhry adjusted the teleportation equipment once again and sent the two modules from Earth into orbit. "We did it!" After ten seconds during which she confirmed that no structural damage had been done to the rather fragile HySe, she said, "The two new spaceship modules have now been teleported inside HySe. Success!"

Marda asked, "But can we now risk bringing HySe down to Earth for final assembly of the modules?"

Tyhry asked Amiante, "You don't mind carrying out the last teleportation?"

Georgy and Stacy and their
home at Observer base.

Amiante replied, "I'll stay right here. How long will it be?" 

Tyhry gave Amiante an estimate of one and half hours. "That will give the rest of us time to get back to my anti-gravity aircar, get up into orbit and then I'll confirm for you that we are ready."

Tyhry was soon leading the way back through the long underground tunnel to where her aircar was parked in the desert near Mt Picachu. She explained the modifications that had been made to the aircar and told Marda, "I've changed the plan. We can fly up into orbit rather than bring HySe down to Earth and risk it being detected by Earthly radar."

Half an hour after their return to Tyhry's aircar and then having used the aircar to get up into orbit, they were inside HySe, with Tyhry's only regret that her aircar did not have a more powerful heater for flights through outer space. She contacted Amiante and told him to once more activate the Phari teleportation equipment in what Tyhry thought of as 'wedge mode'. The powerful teleportation beam opened up a huge portal into Eternity.

Using her telepathic abilities, Tyhry located that portal and then she guided HySe out of the Hadron Domain and into Observer Base, within the Hierion Domain.

 Now, that the HySe was successfully returned inside Observer Base, Tyhry adlusted the gravitational drive and set HySe down at the location where it had been built, behind the home of Georgy and Stacy. Having returned to Observer Base via his hierion femtotube, Amiante collected Alexina and they both to the home of Georgy and Stacy and then they came onboard HySe along with Georgy and Stacy. Amiante and Marda immediately began connecting the new air purification system the ventilation ducts of the spaceship.

Having been designed as mind clones and linked telepathically for all the many years of their lives, now Rylla, Georgy and Stacy finally met in person and they could not resist going off to be alone for a sexplay session. Tyhry resisted the urge to join in their fun, but she stayed focused on the task at hand and began to link the new fuel module into the interstellar drive system of HySe. Eddy worked with Tyhry as her assistant, moving large components of the fuel system into position.

An hour latter, Rylla had completed a pleasurable sexplay session with her two mind clones and then she found Tyhry at work and Rylla told Tyhry, "Thank you for letting me see Observer Base. When I have more time, I'd like to spend more time with Georgy and Stacy and even visit the Writers Block. But now I should be heading back to Earth. I don't want to be late getting to the airport for my flight to Australia."

Wendy (left) and Tyhry.

"Forget about catching the flight that you booked to Australia." Tyhry said, "I can teleport you directly to your biology lab." Even as Tyhry made that offer, she remembered that while the teleportation equipment could be used for moving people around inside Observer Base, that often required precise targeting. Optimally, someone would need to be trained to control the teleporter and they would need to be permanently stationed there with the equipment. Wendy had long played that role in past Realities. Tyhry wondered if a probot of the Final Reality could be recruited for that job.

In any case, Tyhry needed to return her aircar to Arizona, so it might as well carry Eddy and Rylla back to Earth, which would be just as quick as leading them to the hidden teleportation chamber.

Eddy told Tyhry, "Don't be dense. Rylla wants to spend the night in Arizona so she can get some play time with Anthony."

Tyhry laughed. "Oh, ya. Silly me! Well, what ever you want, Rylla."

Eddy told Rylla, "And I'll be more than happy to distract Zeta while you play with Anthony."

Tyhry programmed her aircar to return Rylla and her father to Arizona and provided them with some of her clothing nanites that could keep them warm during their return to Earth. 

Tyhry onboard HySe.

After sending Eddy and Rylla back to Arizona, Tyhry finished linking the sedron fuel module into the interstellar drive system of HySe. That was two hours of detailed work (the second hour with Georgy looking on) with much programming and reprogramming of Tyhry's Nereid nanites. Finally, Tyhry felt confident that the drive system was correctly installed and she was pleased that none of the sedron fuel had been lost.

Tyhry and Georgy went to the control room of HySe where the rest of the crew had assembled. Marda told Tyhry, "The air processing system has been updated and tested."

Tyhry told everyone, "I believe we are ready for the first test of the interstellar drive."

Stacy commented, "I thought maybe Nora would want to join us, but she has not even asked to be teleported into Eternity."

Tyhry explained, "Nora is really quite happy on Earth with her husband and she likes to help with baby sitting when Rylla is away from home. Marda is the oldest of Rylla's children... the other children still live there in Nora's home."

Marda said, "It is absurd that Rylla still lives at home and relies on Nora so much for the care of Tylla's children."

Tyhry had some telepathic linkage to Marda's mind and after an hour in close proximity to Georgy in the HySe engine room, Tyhry was seething with sexual thoughts. Now she sensed that Marda had recently been engaged in sexplay with someone. Marda's eyes kept going to Alexina and Amiante. Tyhry formed one of her invisible synapex links to Marda and telepathically asked: You've been having sex with Alexina and Amiante?

Intersplit drive.

Marda replied: It was wonderful. Alexina is still figuring out what to do with her new penis, but Amiante is quite skilled with his equipment. 

Resisting the temptation to delay the test flight, Tyhry used her Nereid nanites to empty her over-full semen bladder. Tyhry also shrank down her erectile tissue, which removed a major distraction. She turned to Stacy and said, "I'll tube to Picachu and open the inter-dimensional portal so that HySe can move back into the Hadron Domain." Tyhry dissaapeared as she slipped away through the femtotube that linked to the Phari teleportation chamber under Mt. Picachu.

Twenty minutes later, HySe was poised for a test flight that determine if the so-called Intersplit drive technology could be used in the Final Reality. Stacy activated the space drive engine and set HySe off in the direction of Mars. She turned to Tyhry and asked, "Care to make a wager?"

Tyhry laughed nervously and replied, "I feel like Manny has shaped my entire life like an arrow aimed at today. Surely the Intersplit drive will take us above the light speed barrier."

Just then, Manny appeared and asked, "Did someone mention my name?"

Tyhry Turned and saw Manny and then she ran and threw her arms around her mentor. "I'm so glad you are here!"

Manny kissed the tip of Tyhry's nose and asked, "Where else would I be?"

Tyhry; first contact with aliens.

Stacy announced, "We are now beyond the orbit of the Moon."

Still with one arm around Manny, Tyhry told Stacy. "I can't wait any longer. Go ahead and activate the interstaller drive."

Stacy said, "We are going to 61 Virginis." She activated the Intersplit system and HySe effortlessly seemed to enter into a tunnel of distorted space, with the light of nearby stars now warped around the spaceship. Stacy said, "ETA fifteen minutes."

Manny said, "Congratulations, you are the first humans in this Reality to build and fly an interstellar spaceship. The future destiny of Humanity among the stars of the galaxy is now open to you."

Tyhry had never broken her synapex link to Marda. Tyhry was elated but not really surprised that the interstellar drive of HySe was functioning as designed in Deep Time. Tyhry was investigating something inside Marda that reminded Tyhry of her lost femtozoan. Suddenly, Tyhry realized that there was a second femtozoan inside Marda. Tyhry telepathically told Marda: You are pregnant, my dear.

Marda went and hugged Amiante. She told him, "You are a father."

Tyhry telepathically asked Manny: What is going on? There is something odd about the femtozoan of Brak.

Manny spoke out loud so that all could hear her, "Marda's son, Brak will be the first complete telepath of Earth here in the Final Reality."

Marda said, "I worry that Earth is not ready for telepaths."

Deep Time

Manny nodded. "Yes, all of you partial telepaths have been able to reach that important realization."

Georgy suggested, "We should put all of our effort into finding a new world, a habitable exoplanet that will become home to telepaths."

Stacy said, "We'll exit from Intersplit in fifteen seconds."

Everyone turned their eyes to the main display screen with lit up with a view of the 61 Virginis system, which included three large planets that were visible to the naked eye. Stacy said, "We'll search this system carefully for a possible habitable planet."

Tyhry had never imagined that it would be easy to find another Earth-like world. She muttered, "It may take years of searching to find an Earth-like planet."

Manny took Tyhry by the hand and pulled the girl into a nearby cabin and closed the door. Tyhry was quite ready to celebrate the first interstaller flight of HySe with her mentor. They entered into a long sexplay session during which Manny opened her mind to Tyhry as never before. Manny made it clear to Tyhry: You have completed your training as a nanite programmer. Use your skills wisely.

None of the many planets of the 61 Virginis system were Earth-like. HySe returned to Earth and Tyhry returned to her nanite research lab inside the Ekcolir Reality Simulation. Tyhry checked in with the two copies of Tyna who had been using Tyhry's room in her absence. The older Tyna reported that the younger Tyna had become much more calm, seemingly adapting well the having two femtozoans.

The older Tyna called the younger Tyna to come and see Tyhry. As usual, the younger Tyna was off playing with Jymy. While they waited for the girl to arrive, the older Tyna and Tyhry discussed how best to coordinate the search for a habitable exoplanet between Sedrover and HySe. 

The four-year-old Tyna arrived, running and excited to see Tyhry. Tyhry hugged the young girl and then asked, "Are you feeling well?"

Grendel telepathy experiment.

"Quite good, actually... except..."

"What?"

"I keep having a vision of the future. It is a vision of another world. Mylana's daughter, Amany will have children with Brak." Tyna paused and asked Tyhry, "That's Marda's son, right?" Tyna had already seen that in Tyhry's mind. "They will live on another world, not Earth, but a world like Earth. As will my children."

Tyhry told the two Tyna's, "Yes, that is the future for telepaths... we must abandon Earth and go out into the galaxy and make a new civilization that is suitable for people who share all of their thoughts telepathically."

The younger hugged Tyhry once more then Tyna went back to continue playing with Jymy. Tyhry and the older Tyna went out into the nanite research laboratory. Tyhry told Tyna, "You know what this means... you and Mylana need to catch up to where Alexina and Amiante are."

Tyna, Mylana and Amany.

Tyna said, "I miss Mylana. Now is a good time to bring a copy of her to this Reality."

Tyhry activated the Reality Simulation System and opened up a view into the Asimov Reality. Tyna was telepathically watching Tyhry's thoughts. She said, "You've been hiding something from me."

Tyhry giggled. "Yes, I've seen your future. You are the father of Amany." Tyhry pulled a copy of Mylana out of the Ekolir Reality simulation. Tyna and Mylana hugged and then Mylana asked, "Tyna, what is going on? Where are we?"

Tyna explained, "We are now in another Reality." She placed a hand on Mylana's abdomen and asked, "Is it true?"

"What? You know I'm pregnant, or..."

Tyna laughed. "I'm another copy of Tyna, pulled out of our Reality from a slightly earlier point in time." She nodded towards Tyhry. "This is Tyhry, who brought me here first. But now we will be together, always."      {the end}
