New Laws

Below on this page is Part 6 of the science fiction story called the Mosy Saga. The events in Part 6 continue immediately after the end of (Part 5).

Nym consults with Kl'ath-Sedruth and with help from Tara the Ta, they create the Six Laws of Humanics, which are based on Nym's goal of working towards transcendence into the Hierion Domain and influenced by Asimov's Laws of Robotics and the Ten Commandments of the Torah.

 Part 6 of the Mosy Saga. (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4)(Part 5)

Tyhry vanished and then for a time Nym and Tara stood in silence, looking at each-other. Nym had been given a vision of this underground chamber by Balok shortly before Nym was sent back through time to the wilderness of Sinai in the time of Mosy. After trying to ignore the mystery of how Tyhry could so effectively control the telepathic connection between her mind and his, Nym asked Tara, "How do we contact Sedruth?"

Whisk has definite ideas about
how to depict a "humaniform robot".

In Tara's past experience, Kl'ath-Sedruth only interacted with her when there was something that Kl'ath-Sedruth needed. On such occasions, Tara would be summoned to the secret facility under Mt. Sinai. Tara shook her head and replied to Nym, "In my experience, if something interesting is happening then Kl'ath-Sedruth will know about it." Tara giggled. "You might fruitfully think of Kl'ath-Sedruth as the god of curiosity."

Nym mused, "If only there were a way to program humans with a belief in the possibility of transcending into the Hierion Domain as an artificial life-form, just as positronic robots were programmed with the Laws of Robotics."

Tara explained what little she know of the workings of the Bimanoid Interface and human curiosity. "Inside every human is a programmable endosymbiont. During the Asimov Reality, the Bimanoid Interface was used to programmed every human's endosymbiont so as to block human technological progress. However, that re-programming of the Bimanoid Interface was apparently done by the Phari at the behest of Nyrtia."

Nym was thinking about the way that Tara could use her telepathic sashei to control his behavior. Telepathically following his thoughts, Tara told Nym, "I have multiple tools that I use to influence your behavior, including infites and sex hormones."

Nym shook his head. "It is absurd to think that human, or alien tryp'At hormones could alter my behavior."

"Yes, but your artificial body mimics a human body, so you do respond to sex hormones. And I'm glad you do. When I push you into a sexual frenzy, you can almost satisfy my lustful cravings."

Nym suggested, "That might be a useful tenet of an Earthly religion... a prohibition against excessive sexplay. Humans of this primitive era can't afford to spend the day making love. there is more to life than sexual pleasure."

As a human-tryp'At hybrid, Tara was constantly thinking about sex. For tryp'At hermaphrodites, the tryp'At-style penis was designed to be continually erect. "Ug. Don't tell me you want a religion the condemns and limits sexplay."

Nym suggested, "Everything in moderation."

Tyhry scoffed, "Nobody will join a religious movement that insists on negating human nature. The religion of Moses; Rule One, thou shalt not enjoy sex."

Nym enjoyed sex as much as the next man. "As I robot, I follow the Laws of Robotics. Maybe a religion could bring similar Laws of Humanics to people."

The "voice" of Kl'ath-Sedruth was placed into the minds of Nym and Tara: I've developed what I call the Fifty Commandments. I'm working on whittling that down to a smaller number of critically important laws.

Tara warned Nym, "Sedy is long-winded and pedantic. After 'whittling' at his Fifty Commandments for ten thousand years, he will probably have the number of the Commandments up to seventy or eighty."

Nym suggested, "The Rules of Humanics should be positive and inspirational, not a list of negative restrictions." 

Nym originated in the Asimov Reality.

One wall of the underground chamber that held Nym and Tara vibrated and seemed to met. The molten wall formed into a vibrating mass of simulated biological tissue that produced a voice. A touch as sadness was in the voice of Kl'ath-Sedruth, "The Grendels have long lamented their inability to control fickle humans. There is a perversity in human behavior... tell a human to turn right and they are likely to turn left, just to be contrary. Fear can control the primitive biological creatures of Earth. Tara knows me as a god of curiosity, but controlling the humans of Earth would be easier if humans feared me."

Nym suggested, "You should be a god of love, not a god of fear."

Kl'ath-Sedruth projected a glowing image of the original 'X clone' from the Asimov reality. "Any list of rules for the trp'At would have to start with the rule: Orgasms Come First."

Tara giggled and asked Kl'ath-Sedruth, "Is that a sex pun?"

Nym asked, "What would a god of love put first on commandments given to humans? Maybe: 'Seek the Creator.' Yes, that suits a curious god of love."

Tara noted, "Rather like the degree of curiosity you displayed when exploring my allzaurish."

Secrets of the tryp'At.

Nym patted Tara shapely bottom, "Don't distract me. Sedy and I are brain-storming."

Kl'ath-Sedruth complained, "There was such a steady stream of humans climbing to the top of Mt. Sinai and asking me for help that I had to spread the rumor that it is death to look upon the god of Sinai."

Tara began to get into the spirit of the brain-storming session. "I like the idea of every human seeking their Creator. Kl'ath-Sedruth, who created humans, the bumpha or the pek?"

"The Grendels like to claim their share of the glory for making the human species. We can call it a group effort. The pek, Prelands and bumpha all played important rolls."

"It is hard to imagine primitive Earthlings even being able to all the effort that went into making humans. Earth needs to enter into an age of learning." 

"People foolishly chase wealth and luxury, now knowledge.  A rule of Humanics should be, 'Seek knowledge and wisdom before material wealth.' But how can we encourage a world full of illiterates to ti seek knowledge and learning?"

"The people of Earth respond to bribes.  Why not a religion that promises immortality? In time, humans will develop the technology needed to make artificial life... immortal copies of biological humans."

"Learning and the development of new technologies depends on a new mind-set. Truth must be respected while deception, including self-deception, is condemned and viewed as socially unacceptable."

"Yes, the Rules of Humanics must include: 'Seek the truth and proclaim it.' However, I fear that the careful thinking needed for science is a dream, yet far in the future of Earth."

"For me, the goal of life is to escape from the restrictions that burden life in the Hadron Domain. There is a glorious progression from biology to increasingly sophisticated forms of artificial life. My mind burns with the fact that imperfect humans could have so much more existing as artificial life-forms in the Hierion Domain.

We could say, 'Seek the achievement of eternal life.'

"A worthy goal for seekers."

Tara shrugged. "I've reveled in the joys of human existence for a thousand years. I'd dread some kind of future where our humanity was lost." She added, "No denigration of you intended, Sedy."

"Have no fear, I'm happy with my existence as an artificial life-form."

"Humans of the future can achieve both immortality and retain their Humanity. Include, 'Seek the continuance of human existence,' in the Rules of Humanics."

The Six Laws of Humanics.

Tara suggested, "As a genetically engineered human variant, I know that the future of the human species and the path to transcendence that you seek, Nym, will be accelerated by genetic manipulation of the human genome. So, I suggest adding, 'Seek to understand the nature of a child’s making and how to guide it' as one of the Rules of Humanics.  

Nym said, "These Rules of Humanics can be our guiding principles, a foundation for the future."

Tara said, "Nym, together we can impress these Rules on the Phari endosymbiont of your first born, Gyrso."

"Show me how."  Tara made love to her husband and formed a synapex link between their bodies. Now in a shared mind space with the femtozoan of the Gyrso embryo who was inside Tara's uterus, Nym helped imprint the Laws of Humanics on his first born's Phari endosymbiont. Gyrso would be the first of many humans compelled to live according to the Rules of Humanics.

As Nym and Tara exited from the secret underground facility below Mt. Sinai, Nym asked Tara, "What about all the people of all the tribes and clans? How can they be programmed with the Laws of Humanics?"

Now resuming her conventional appearance and the identity of Typpo, Tara teased her husband. "Well, if we got started now, you and I could probably do for every newborn Midyan what was just done for Gyrso.    

Nym's mind was staggered by the scale of such a project for one-by-one reprogramming of generations of newborns. "But..."

Tara laughed. "Just kidding. That would require multiple copies of you and I and I've been forbidden from making any more replicoids for Earth."

Nym asked, "More?"

 I've lived on Earth for the past few thousand years, preparing the people of Earth for your arrival. That involved the deployment of many clones and replicoids on Earth, but now that you are here we must use other methods."

"Such as?"

"You know, silly. A new religious movement must be devised that can influence the minds of millions through the power of education and persuasion." 

________

After 100 years on Earth, Nym was placed into the pattern buffer of the Simulation System.

_____

Kl'ath-Sedruth: Behold your future, Nym.
Generated by Gemini.

When the Space Age of Earth finally arrives in Nym's Simulation Fork, Nym is taken out of the pattern buffer and shown the "world of the future".

 Kl'ath-Sedruth revealed to Nym the nature of this version of human civilization that Nym's Six Laws had helped bring into existence. Kl'ath-Sedruth explained to Nym: You now awaken to a human civilization that is characterized by a sophisticated epistemological drive coupled with a deep, existential focus on transcendence and preservation. Look upon this Earth where humans are shepherds of all the life of the planet and there are no ecological catastrophe's created by the busy hands of humans.

Nym said, "It is good." Nym had a request. "Sedy, allow me to walk among these people who have crafted such a beautiful future." Nym found himself inside a space colony that in geosynchronous orbit around the Moon. Through the transparent dome of the habitat, Nym could see the distant Earth seeming to float in the blackness of space.

 There beside Nym was an shimmering embodiment of the Kl'ath-Sedruth entity, crafted so as not to draw too much attention from the residents of the space colony. Yet, one resident immediately approached Nym and Kl'ath-Sedruth. She was a tall blond woman who told Nym, "Sedy promised me that you would come. I have waited and waited and now you are here!"

Kl'ath-Sedruth told Nym: Yes, this is Tara, still at work, building the civilization that your Laws have guided to this... The humanoid version of Kl'ath-Sedruth waved a sparkling hand towards Earth.

"I am pleased." Nym grasped one of Tara's hands and he told her, "You have done well."

Tara told Nym, "Your children have pursued an intense scientific and philosophical inquiry into origins—both of life and the universe. "The Creator" is often interpreted as some ultimate cosmic force, the underlying physical laws of Space and Time, or, in science fiction, even unseen alien architects of themselves, a concept still only dimly perceived. These pursuits have brought human understanding of  fundamental physics, cosmology, and the search for unifying theories to the point where discovery of a negative mass hierion is imminent."

Nym noted, "And yet, this is a future of great beauty."

Tara nodded. "Most people are artists, musicians, dreamers... there is no hurry to reach the future, only a wish to create and preserve beauty and knowledge."

To Nym, it seemed that both Tara and Sedy were proud of the world that they had crafted through the Six Laws. Kl'ath-Sedruth said: Material wealth is abundant here, yet accumulation of wealth is seen as secondary, a means to an end, or even a distraction. The people of this society prioritize education, research, and intellectual pursuit above all else. Resources are channeled to laboratories, observatories, libraries (digital and physical), and world-spanning electronic forums for intellectual discourse. Economic systems are highly collaborative and not competitive; "wealth" is defined as intellectual capital. Post-scarcity principles guide the efficient allocation of resources towards continued knowledge acquisition.

Nym noted, "It would give me great joy to live in such a world. What of politics?"

Whisk was asked to generate an illustration
for the back cover of a science fiction novel.

Tara said, "There is no word for 'politics' in the dominant human language of the version of Earth. Public discourse is goal-directed and rigorously factual. Millions of people cooperate in vast programs designed to promote scientific progress. Knowledge is openly shared and rigorously verified. The leaders of this Earth foster a deeply ethical approach to the protection of truthful information, resisting propaganda or obfuscation."

Kl'ath-Sedruth explained to Nym: The 'political' climate that Tara mentioned is a powerful driver for medical, biological, cybernetic and transhumanist research. These efforts are not about anything as mundane as simple lifespan extension, but aim at truly conquering death. We would see immense resources poured into attaining a deep understanding of cellular senescence and sophisticated organ regeneration techniques already exist. Gene editing is commonly performed to correct genetic predispositions to disease and aging and genome modifications are made that enhance cellular repair mechanisms.

Tara told Nym, "Research into human brain mapping, down to individual synaptic connections, computer-based neural network emulation of brain function and brain-computer interfaces are the popular 'sports' and 'hobbies' here in this version of Earth. Of course, the ultimate goal is to transfer consciousness into robust, long-lived artificial substrates. Nym, your goal of human transcendence into the Hierion Domain is as yet only dimly conceived by science fiction visionaries, but humanity is on the path to that great goal."

Nym nodded. "I am pleased. This world is all that I had hoped for back when you teased me and called me 'Stranger' as I stumbled across the dusty surface of Earth."

The humanoid instantiation of Kl'ath-Sedruth reached down and scooped up a hand-full of dirt from the artificial found they stood upon. Human civilization is moving beyond Earth. Earth is being gradually depopulated and being treated as a Garden World for non-human species. The 'natural' environment of human beings is now widely perceived to be self-sustaining space habitats such as this one that I have brought you to. The engineering of such habitats is sophisticated beyond any of the great cities that were once built on Earth, featuring self-repairing structural components and self-sustaining bio-regenerative ecosystems capable of supporting life indefinitely into the future.

Tara said, "And yet..."

Nym looked into Tara's eyes and reached his telepathic mind into her memories. He saw dissatisfaction and a desire for change. He suggested, "You have regrets?"

Tara was tempted to show Nym all that she was aware of by way of the Sedron Time Stream, for Kl'ath-Sedruth was allowing her to perceive a multitude of alternative futures. However, she hid that from poor Nym and simple said, "I could have done better."

Nym laughed and said, "You have made a miracle."

"Nym, I worked for thousands of year on Earth making all of these wonders possible, but we should not deceive ourselves." She waved a hand at their surroundings. "This is only a first draft. We can do better."

Now the Kl'ath-Sedruth entity finally allowed Nym to understand that they were in a Simulation of Reality. If you were interested to do so, you can study this future, its glorious successes and its nagging failures. Then I can re-start the Simulation and you two can be given a second chance.

There was long discussion with Tara and Kl'ath-Sedruth of the possibility of "making corrections" to the timeline. Nym lived in the space colony for a year and studied the history of these people of his future. Nym identified what he imagined were ways to alter the Six Laws for the better. Finally, Nym was ready and he asked Kl'ath-Sedruth to restart the Simulation, and he was sent back to a new Simulation fork, at the beginning, when he first met Tara the Ta. Arriving for a second time in the wilderness of Sinai, Nym told Tara, "We will get this right, eventually."

Tara put her arms around Nym. She had no faith in dreams of perfection. "At least we can have fun trying."

Mosy the Midyan

Below on this page is Part 5 of the science fiction story called the Mosy Saga. This is also Part 10 of another science fiction story called Vythoth the Chresmoscopist.

The robot from Threy, Nymerya Coryn, replaces a dead man named Mosy right at the end of the Ekcolir Reality on Earth. When Nym assumes the role of Mosy, he soon meets Typpo, a "descendant" of Tara the Ta, who has long trained on Earth so that she can efficiently assist Nym in (re)creating the legend of Moses.

Nym and Tara meet inside a Simulation fork of the Ekcolir Reality. Both Nym and Tara are artificial life forms, their bodies composed of femtobot components. As crȩolitɝ, Nym and Tara are indistinguishable from the ordinary humans of Earth, unless they choose to reveal their secrets. They are on a mission to provide "source material" for the legend of Moses and prepare Humanity for transcendence into the Hierion Domain.

Part 5 of the Mosy Saga. (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4)   

Part 10 of Vythoth the Chresmoscopist. (Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) (Part 6) (Part 7) (Part 8) (Part 9)

Tyhry, Lexy (a copy of Tyhry from the Ekcolir Reality) and Systolina the robot arrived inside a new Simulation fork of the Ekcolir Reality that had been prepared by the Kl'ath-Sedruth sedronite. Also newly arrived in the abandoned warehouse that would soon become Tyhry's crȩolitɝ research laboratory was Nymerya Coryn, another robot from Threy.

Image generated by ImageFX. Manual insertion of the text.

As Tyhry had anticipated, Nymerya quickly established a telepathic link to Systolina. You conspired with this dual-human to bring me here?

Systolina was trying to shield her memories from the telepathic probing of Nym. "This is Tyhry, who visited Threy as a tourist. And this is a clone copy of Tyhry, who is from this Reality, Lexy."

Nymerya was struggling to understand where he was. "This is in the... future? I have become a time traveler?"

Tyhry took hold of Nym's hand and said, "Welcome to Earth. There is a project here... an important inflection point in human history... I seek your help." While Tyhry spoke and teased Nym by keeping her mind behind a telepathic barrier that Nym could not penetrate, Lexy sent the Balok infites into Nym's body.

Nym turned to Lexy and demanded, "Why have you sent nanites into my body?"

Lexy told Nym, "You have been infected by some bumpha infites that provide you with information about a human named Mosy."

Nym began processing information that had been provided by Balok concerning the life of Mosy and the differences between the Ekcolir Reality and the Final Reality. Nym muttered, "Mosy died, but Mosy must live?"

Systolina nodded. "Exactly. We need you to go to Earth and live as Mosy, replacing that dead Earthling and through the deeds of your life, create a desirable future for the people of Earth."

Beginning to understand the significance of what was expected of him, Nym said, "I am to found a new religion on Earth?"

Systolina explained, "Well, that is a bit of an over-statement, but through your actions, while pretending to be the Earth man Mosy, you will serve as inspiration for a new religious movement on Earth, one that will, after many centuries, help people on Earth develop their ideas about humans having an existence after death."

Now having assimilated the infites from Balok and confirming the specific era in time when Mosy lived, Nym asked, "How can primitive humans be expected to believe in transcendence into the Hierion Domain?"

Tyhry told Nym, "Mosy... or, I should say, you in the role of Mosy, will have your pre-existing knowledge of the Hierion Domain, but people from Mosy's time will not be able to conceptualize the Hierion Domain. It will be up to you to teach the Earthlings and advance their religious thinking by means of parables and stories that are appropriate for their primitive times. All those details will be left to you and your creativity."

Now feeling daunted by the this great responsibility, Nym asked Lexy, "Who is Balok? What are the bumpha?"

Lexy explained, "Balok the bumpha trained us for this mission to create meaning from the otherwise useless and short life of Mosy. The bumpha are the creators of the human species and they work diligently to create a good future for humanity, much in the same way that positronic robots must always do what is best for people."

Nym told Lexy, "I telepathically sense that you are tryp'At, a human-alien hybrid. How is it that you are also constrained to assist the people of Earth?"

Tyhry replied, "Lexy and I are behaviorally constrained through our endosymbionts. Nym, you have the Laws of Robotics embedded in your brain circuits and it is the same for Lexy and I. Like you, we must do what is best for the people in Mosy's time and in all the future of Humanity. We are here to support your mission."

Nym held out his hands. "Who am I to have this great responsibility? I thank each of you for your assistance, but I don't really understand how I can accomplish what you expect to me. And you, Tyhry, I wonder why you hide your thoughts and memories from me."

Tyhry giggled. "We are dealing with great forces of Temporal Momentum and fluxes of temporal energy that will cause a Reality Change. We exist inside a tight a vortex of potential Temporal Paradox that the bumpha have carefully nurtured in the Reality Chain of Earth. None of we four are allowed to know the complete structure of the future that we... that you will bring into existence. You are the instrument of change, doing what the bumpha perceive as being best for Humanity. Do not feel daunted by what you must accomplish. This will be a great adventure in which you create the future."

Nym was now feeling better about what was to come, but he told Tyhry, "I can see in the thoughts of Systolina that..." Nym fell silent. Tyhry could see in Nym's thought chain that every time he realized the real reason for his mission on Earth, the infites that had been provided by Balok modified Nym's thinking and re-directed his thoughts towards belief that this new mission on Earth was far more important than his previous existence on Threy. After a pause during which his positronic circuits were adjusted by Balok's infites, Nym continued, "... she will return to Threy when I go to Earth."

Systolina nodded. "I will continue our important work on Threy, have no concern about that."

Nym tried to not have concerns. "It is rather disorienting to think that I have become a time traveler and I now exist in Earth's far past. Even more alarming is..." Tyhry could see that Nym has lifted from Systolina's mind the fact that they were inside a Simulation of Earth. Nym was going to say: If this is a Simulation of Earth, then why does it matter?" However, Tyhry watched Nym's thought stream as that question was edited by Balok's infites. Instead, Nym said, "It is clear. My mission here is of fundamental importance in leading humans to the concept of transcendence. Yes, it can be done. My efforts will ensure a religious movement on Earth that will... thousands of years from now.... lead to understanding that people can transcend to a new existence inside the Hierion Domain." With great enthusiasm, Nym asked, "When can I begin?"

Tyhry told Nym, "Soon. Very soon. However, let us discuss the conditions that will exist when you arrive on Earth in the era of Mosy's life. Lexy will be their with you, but only briefly. It will be her responsibility to remove the dead body of Mosy from Earth. You will be met by an Earthling, another clone copy of me who has long been living on Earth and who is awaiting your arrival... a woman named Tara. She is a Ta, a priestess of a primitive religion of Earth. Through her interactions with you, you will learn about Earth and eventually become a folk hero who can play an inspirational role in the new religious movement that we have discussed."

Nym said, "Very well. I assume that I should not mention to Tara that I am a robot from Threy."

Tyhry shrugged. "Use your best judgement, but it might be wise if you do not speak of your past. I advise you to learn about Earth and look for opportunities to assist people like Tara in forming a better society. You will be caught up in Earthly affairs, but you will always be guided by your need to do what is best for Humanity. That is all you need do."

Nym said, "A grand adventure! Is there more that you should tell me before I jump further into the past... to the time of Mosy?"

Tyhry giggled. "The are other things I wish I could say to you, Nym, but due to the constrains that exist to guide our actions away from potential Temporal Paradoxes, I find that I can say no more. Have fun on Earth."

Nym hugged first Systolina and then Tyhry. He took hold of Lexy's hand. The seemingly disembodied voice of Kl'ath-Sedruth reverberated through the empty warehouse, "Is now the time?"

Tyhry said, "Yes, send Lexy and Nym into the past." Lexy and Nym disappeared. Tyhry asked Systolina, "Are you ready to return to Threy, lover?"

Systolina asked, "There is no copy of Nym on Threy?"

Again the "voice" of Kl'ath-Sedruth was "heard", now telepathically impressed into Systolina's mind. I removed Nym from Threy and brought him here.

Filled with joy, Systolina threw her arms around Tyhry. "Then I am ready to go home." 

Before Tyhry could become fully sexually aroused by Systolina's affections, Systolina vanished and then Tyhry asked Kl'ath-Sedruth, "How quickly will Lexy be returned?"

Kl'ath-Sedruth explained the reason for the delay in Lexy's extraction from the Mosy Simulation fork. "Lexy and Nym are discussing how Mosy died."

"The Simulation that they are in is running at normal speed?"

"No, it is a small fork Simulation with only Earth, so it is progressing much faster than a full Reality Simulation."

"As a robot, it it not possible that Nym will survive into Earth's space age?"

Kl'ath-Sedruth replied, "As part of the Moses legend as it exists in the Final Reality, I plan to allow Nym only 100 years on Earth. At the end of that time, I can simply place Nym into the pattern buffer of the Simulation System."

Tyhry cringed. "It was my goal to provide Nym with a full and satisfying life."

Kl'ath-Sedruth mused, "Your human sentimentality is rather amusing. Nym is a robot, you need not be concerned with his fate. Isn't 100 years enough?"

Tyhry noted, "Nym is human enough that I do care; my mind does not distinguish between thinking beings, they are al worthy of my respect and assistance. 100 years is not long for a robot."

Kl'ath-Sedruth suggested, "I could offer Nym a chance to improve the outcomes arising from his life on Earth, allow him a second try, so to speak."

Tyhry was intrigued by Kl'ath-Sedruth's proposal. "What do you have in mind, Sedy?"

"When Nym's 100 years on Earth are over, I'll toss Nym into the pattern buffer for storage. The Simulation fork will then continue to run. Eventually, at the start of the space age, I'll bring Nym out of storage and show him the status of Earthly civilization and offer Nym the chance to go back into the past and do things differently."

Tyhry thought about the mythical Sisyphus, condemned to repeat a task for eternity. Tyhry wondered: Is that what is best for Nym? "Kl'ath-Sedruth, can you see Nym's future?"

"Yes, these simulations are all recorded in the Sedron Time Stream."

"Could you guide Nym's path in his new life, help him make a good future for Earth... on the first try?"

Manny the bumpha

Kl'ath-Sedruth replied, "That is bumpha work." Kl'ath-Sedruth managed to say that as if he were describing an unpleasant task like cleaning horse manure off of city streets.

Tyhry was having doubts about all of the Reality Simulations that she had initiated. More and more frequently she asked herself: Am I responsible for the artificial lives that I have brought into existence? "I hope you will do what you can to give Nym the kind of life he desires. Also, I am concerned about Nym's fate, and also my X-clone Tara, so I expect you to leave a written account of Nym's 110 year-long lifetime on Earth where it can be found in the Writers Block. I want you to provide a true account of Nym and Tara's adventures on Earth, not the standard legend of Moses." Tyhry removed herself from the Simulation System.

Tara and Nym

Inside the Simulation fork that Kl'ath-Sedruth had selected for Nym, Lexy and Nym gazed upon the dead and decaying body of Mosy. Nym asked, "How did he die?"

Lexy said, "Balok did not bother to tell me any details. All men die, some sooner than others. What matters is that you live." Lexy sent a swarm of femtbots into the body of Mosy. Mosy's corpse glowed with inner light and then Lexy and the dead body were extracted from the Simulation by Kl'ath-Sedruth. 

Nym turned and saw Tara the Ta who had witnessed the disappearance of Lexy and the corpse. She told Nym, "I'm glad you are finally here. All has been prepared for you."

Nym telepathically examined the thoughts of Tara, whose mind and physical appearance was like those of Tyhry and Lexy. "You are Tara, but you are called Typpo?"

"Exactly. I am your sweet bird. We will make two children, Ely and... your first son I will name 'alien', befitting my tryp'At nature."

"I am a robot. How can I father your son?"

 "When Kl'ath-Sedruth processed you through the Reality Simulation System, you were made into a femtobot replicoid. Your body now carefully mimics that of a human being. You will now live on Earth among humans as a human."

Nym looked up at the nearby slopes of Mt. Syny. Nym was again processing more of the infites that he had been given to him by Balok. Nym told Typpo, "Balok told me that I would live here in Mydsyny with you and there is a vision in my mind. That is not a vision of a blond clone of Tyhry." Typpo took Nym's hand and led him towards the nearby camp of her nomadic family. 

Typpo laughed at Nym's confusion and her hair turned black. "I had to let you see my true form, but you are correct. Here in Mydsyny and playing the role of Typpo, the Midyans know me in this form... a woman with dark hair and brown skin. My ancestors were... descendants... of the great El. It is more complicated than that, but suffice to say that the tryp'At were made with many Ekcolir gene patterns. I was born with bright hair inherited from my tribes people from the northern lands."

Nym had been telepathically exploring Typpo's mind pattern, whatlittle of it she was allowing him to observe. He said, "You are like Tyhry. You can control what I telepathically see in your mind."

"Of course, I have been trained to guide you in your new life here on Earth, but you cannot be allowed to know too much about your future. This is an adventure for you." Typpo began to unleash her telepathic sashei on Nym. She made use of sex hormones and mind-adjusting nanites to guide the thought patterns of Nym's mind. By the time that Typpo led Nym into her fathers tent, Nym was sporting a very stiff erection and Typpo was enjoying the effect that she had on Nym's body.

Inside the dim tent, Typpo's father, Jyth did not notice Nym's priapic state or Typpo's stiff nipples. Typpo told Jyth, "Father, this is a wanderer from Egypt, Mos... Moses."

"I am Ry-El, one of El's shepherds, but the Midyans call me a Jyth, a leader of the clan."

Nym said, "I am a wanderer in this strange land." He was still holding Typpo's hand. "The first thing I have learned is that your daughter has interesting powers over... men."

Jyth laughed. "Yes, I know. Typpo has studied the lore of the Northern Tribes of El, our ancestors who are lost in the mists of time. Some of the Midyans call Typpo a mykha, which is somewhat unfair, but also a reasonable approximation of the truth."

Typpo told Nym, "Listen, Stranger, I have skills... I don't use magic. It is not magic to smelt ore into barzyl."

Jyth was amused by the easy intimacy between his daughter and the stranger and how they held hands and let their eyes linger on each-other. "I want to know your intentions, young man. You appear here in my tent like a bolt of lightening from the blue sky. Have you been my daughter's secret lover?" Jyth asked Nym, "Tell me stranger, do you wish to ravish my daughter or are you here to tell me that that was done long ago?"

"I find myself powerfully attracted to Typpo. I've never felt like this before."

"Yes, yes... a mykha like my daughter has great power over men. However, you may want to take a look at Typpo's younger sisters before you-"

Typpo interrupted her father, "Save your breath. Moses grew up in Thr..." Typpo giggled. "In Egypt and he has the wandering eye of a young buck dear. He'll take his eye-full of your other daughters with or without your invitation and permission."

Jyth called out to his youngest daughter, "Bring food and drink to my tent. We have a guest." Jyth told Nym, "I should have found a husband for Typpo long ago, but she seems to prefer spending her time among my herds. While tending the flocks, I suppose she manages to find many young men wandering in the wilderness, you being only the latest."

Typpo laughed. "I try to keep on friendly terms with the other clans. Since you have no sons to defend you in your old age, I must use the tools that I have to practice diplomacy."

Jyth told Nym, "I owe my position as priest to Typpo's mother. Remember, Moses, it is good to marry into a powerful family."

Jyth's youngest daughter, Mydra, entered the tent with a bladder containing water. She looked at Nym and was amazed. Typpo was very tall, but Nym towered over her. She handed Nym the water and said, "Quench your thirst, stranger. I'll bring food, unless you'd prefer to eat me."

Typpo let go of Nym's hand and grabbed Mydra by the arm and pulled her out of the tent, "I'll help you gather the food." Looking over her shoulder at Nym, Typpo said, "His name is Moses, and he will decide for himself what to do with his tongue."

Jyth asked Nym to be seated. "My daughters have playful tongues. I hope you are not offended."

"Not at all."

Now Jyth could see Nym's erection bulging outwards against the fabric of his robe. "Tell me of your parents, Moses."

Nym discovered that there was a reply to this question waiting in the infites that had come from Balok. "I can't tell you everything of my past. I want to forget about my life in... Egypt."

"Ah, you left behind some troubles, lad?"

Nym thought about the conflict that had grown up between himself and Systolina on Threy. "Yes, that is true. I welcome the chance to start a new life where I am welcomed and where there is meaningful work for me to do."

Jyth rubbed his chin. "I imagine there are many interesting things to do in Egypt, but here in the sleepy wilderness of Mydsyny, life is simple. Work? There is plenty of that here! I never managed to father any sons to help with all the work, so my daughter have become like men, resourceful and competitive. I expect each of them to compete for your attention."

Typpo and Mydra returned with food that they set before Nym. They now also left open their robes, allowing Nym to see their cute breasts. Jyth told Nym, "Observe by lovely daughters... the games begin."

Typpo announced, "I found Moses, I'll see to his needs."

Mydra suggested, "Moses is not interested in old ladies like you Typpo." She sat close beside Nym and put an arm around his back. She asked Moses, "Did you leave behind a young lover in Egypt?"

Nym found that for the first time ever, he now had an interest in eating. For a time he chewed and ate, while imagining what he should say. Tara opened up a telepathic connection to him and told him: You can tell Mydra that she is more beautiful than any Egyptian.

"I can't keep secrets from a pretty girl." Nym chuckled and told Mydra, "If you promise not to tell others, then I'll answer you."

Mydra laughed. "Oh, how exciting, a mysterious stranger with secrets! Very well, I promise to try not to gossip. If what you say is simply too amazing, I probably won't be able to resist telling all my sisters."

A voice came through the fabric of the tent. "Just have Moses speak a little louder, so we can all hear." 

Nym heard a chorus of giggles coming into the tent from outside. Jyth told his daughters, "Come inside, all of you."

Three more of Jyth's daughters entered the tent and settled in around Nym. The other two were out patrolling the pastures and watching over the herds. One of Typpo's sisters told Jyth, "I'll happily come inside or out in the pastures." She asked Typpo, "Where is the stranger from?"

Typpo put a hand over his sister's mouth, "Quiet. We will get the answer from the horse's mouth."

Nym said, "If asked, you can say that I am from Egypt, but a better answer is Gysym where many clans of Abraham's descendants reside." By the light of an oil lamp, he looked at each of the faces of the daughters of Jyth and added, "I'm glad I am here and not there in the Nile swamps."

Jyth told Nym, "If you seek work, you are welcome here. You can begin helping with the sheep sheering in the morning, after you have rested."

Mydra told Nym, "Moses can spend the night in our tent. He might not get any sleep, but he can just relax and let us do all the work."

Mydra's sisters laughed and began taunting Nym for his jutting erection. Jyth eventually said to Nym, "Be off with you. I'll show you the herds in the morning."

Typpo was correct about Nym's wondering eye. He had functioned for centuries on Threy where any request by a tourist for sexplay was quickly and efficiently met with action by Nym. However, since Typpo was the only one of the seven sisters who was ovulating regularly, it was not much of a surprise when she became pregnant and was married to Nym by Jyth. That night, Typpo finally had a chance to be alone with Nym. He was thinking about the meaning of 'tryp'At' that he could see in the thoughts of Typpo that she shared with him telepathically. After they shared a long sexplay session inside their tent, Nym places his hand on her abdomen and asked Typpo, "So, your little alien is growing inside you?"

"I'm already a month along and synapex linked to Gyrso."

"Synapex?"

"A way to link together our endosymbionts. I'll be training up Gyrso's telepathic mind pattern and you can help with that process."

Nym admitted, "I'm still astounded to find that there are telepathic alien-human hybrids on Earth."

"Yes, of course the non-telepathic humans of Earth cannot be told the truth. They would resent my telepathic abilities." Tara was following Nym's thoughts. "I can't tell you the future of your children."

"I'm trying to imagine the far future, in the ages to come." He was trying to imagine how herders of sheep and goats could be told about the idea of artificial life-forms and transcendence into the Hierion Domain. Typpo's sisters lived for the present and gave no thought to death or the possibility of a life beyond Earth.

Typpo re-arranged the femtobot components of her body, taking on the form of her natural tryp'At body. For the moment, she kept her penis hidden inside its sheath in her abdomen. Nym had already seen Tara's tryp'At body in her thoughts, but now he feasted his eyes on her alien beauty. Typpo said, "I wish you luck with your great project."

"I was hoping for more than good wishes. I don't know what to do."

"I've seen some of the future when artificial life-forms will become common on Earth, but it is best if you not know too much of the future. You must follow your programming and do what you can to help advance civilization on Earth."

"Your sisters speak of a great god on the summit of Mt. Syny."

Typpo giggled. "That is silly folk-lore. However, there is a Grendel teleportation station deep under Syny. I'll show you the secret entrance to that facility. Maybe Kl'ath-Sedruth will provide you with a future vision from the Sedron Time Streeam."

 Nym asked, "Grendel?"

Typpo sighed. "The Midyans call the Grendels mal'akh, messengers of Kl'ath-Sedruth. Kl'ath-Sedruth is the local god of Mt. Syny. Of course, you already know Kl'ath-Sedruth, the sedronite who sent you here. The Grendels were more active in the past, but they sometimes operate among the human population of Earth, mainly to spread useful gene combinations, although that is most often accomplished through programming of the Bimanoid Interface. You can ask Kl'ath-Sedruth for details."

Nym had just discovered Tara's allzaurish and there was no further talk until Nym had thoroughly explored Tara's back vagina. Then, well before sunrise, Tara took Nym to the secret alien facility under Mt. Syny. Waiting for them there was Tyhry who greeted Nym, "Good to see that you are getting integrated into human society." She turned to Tara and said, "I'm one of your clone sisters, from your future." Tyhry placed a hand on Tara's belly. "I can sense two femtozoans inside you."

Tara was not familiar with that term. "Femtozoan?"

Tyhry giggled and told Tara, "You can ask Kl'ath-Sedruth for details. "Tyhry turned to Nym and asked, "Tell me, are you happy here with Tara?"

"Yes, I am. Typpo is a good teacher. I am learning about the people of this era. I could not ask for more interesting and challenging work, although I fear that progress is slow. Actually, I don't think I've accomplished anything... yet."

Tara rubbed her belly and told Nym, "You helped me make Gyrso."

Tyhry patted Nym on his shoulder. "That you are happy is what I wanted to hear." She turned away from the robot. Speaking over her shoulder she said, "Well, I may stop by again to check on progress. Have fun you two." Tyhry exited from the Simulation. Knowing well the history of the Final Reality, Tyhry never bothered to return to see the version of Earth that was created by Nym.

The Probot Download

Tyhry visits New York.

 Below on this page is Part 9 of the science fiction story "The Fesarians". Tyhry has just returned from investigating New York in the year 1939 inside the Ekcolir Reality Simulation where she explored the origins of a science fiction magazine called Rational Wonder Stories.

Tyhry has just attempted her first ever download of the memories from a probot by making use of the Sedron Time Stream to store the vast amounts of information that had accumulated in the mind of a probot that was playing the role of Assistant Editor Fendy Malentyr during the Rational Wonder Stories Intervention on Earth. Fendy (a probot) had been trained for her mission on Earth by Nyrtia. 

The science fiction genre had been created in the Ekcolir Reality and magazines like Rational Wonder Stories played a key role in shaping the anti-Fru movement on Earth. 

Are three femtozoan crȩolitɝ better than two?

 Human Destiny in the Stars. The arrival of the alien Fru'wu on Earth in the 1950s of the Ekcolir Reality was Nyrtia's scheme, designed to transfer alien technology to the humans of Earth and allow humans to begin spreading to distant exoplanets of the galaxy. 

 Bumpha Balance. Using her strong telepathic link to the Chief Editor  Rational Wonder Stories, Sopha Unthyr, Tyhry has learned that Sopha was serving as an Interventionist agent of the bumpha. Sopha was tasked with dampening the influence and impact of Rational Wonder Stories on the minds and attitudes of science fiction story readers. 

Kl'ath-Sedruth

During her exploration of New York, Virginia in the Ekcolir Reality and while working in the offices of Rational Wonder Stories, Tyhry had been surprised to discover that Sopha was in possession of second femtozoan, her Ahpos femtozoan having been sent to Sopha of the 1930s from a far future time. 

With that second femtozoan inside her Phari endosymbiont and and providing her with knowledge of technology that would exist on Earth in the future, Sopha was able to help the techno-enthusiastic Earthlings better anticipate problems that might arise from quick adoption of advanced hierion and sedron-based alien technologies.

At the end of Part 8 of "The Fesarians", Fendy the probot was inactivated by Nyrtia during the mind download process. Now Tyhry is eager to learn from Kl'ath-Sedruth if any useful information was obtained from the memories of Fendy. 

zeptite crȩolitɝ artificial life-forms are composed of sedrons

 The zeptite crȩolitɝ. As an artificial life-form residing inside the Sedron Time Stream, Kl'ath-Sedruth could take on any convenient physical form as part of interacting with humans. 

After her visit to the New York Simulation and upon returning to her crȩolitɝ research laboratory, Tyhry wonders what bodily form will now be used by Kl'ath-Sedruth. In the past, every time that Tyhry has communicated with Kl'ath-Sedruth the crȩolitɝ, that sedronite had used a different form, seemingly searching for a visual identity that would be least upsetting for humans. The events in Part 9 of "The Fesarians" continue immediately after the end of Part 8. 

Part 9 of "The Fesarians" (below) is also Part 9 of another story, Vythoth the Chresmoscopist, so readers should not be surprised when Vythoth the Fru'wu walks into Tyhry's crȩolitɝ research labotaroy.

Part 9 of The Fesarians (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part3)(Part 4)(Part 5)(Part 6)(Part 7)(Part 8)   

Three different types of crȩolitɝ.

Tyhry arrived inside her nanotechnology research laboratory where an orgy was still in progress, having been initiated by Tyhry during her visit to the New York Simulation. Tyhry closed her mind to the telepathic emissions of her many replicoid copies and looked at the Viewer of her Reality Simulation equipment. On the display screen of the Reality Viewer was a shimmering depiction of the Kl'ath-Sedruth entity who was now using an intriguing humanoid appearance that reminded Tyhry of the ancient Hua. 

Tyhry telepathically reached tendrils of her mind into the Sedron Time Stream and asked Sedruth: How much did we get? Tyhry was using her newly acquired ability to shield her telepathic mind from others and directly targeting Kl'ath-Sedruth with her question. Tyhry could telepathically sense that her copy, Lexy, was nearby and Tyhry had decided to not share with Lexy all that Tyry had learned while in the New York Simulation.

Not wanting to have to explain everything again to the many Tyhry, Marda and Anthony replicoids who had gathered in the laboratory, Kl'ath-Sedruth replied by speaking out-loud. "Patience child, although probots are a primitive form of artificial life, simple crȩolitɝ, they can accumulate large amounts of information over the course of seven million years."

Tyhry whispered, "Fendy originated in the First Reality?"

Kl'ath-Sedruth corrected Tyhry, "Actually, the 'Fendy' probot originated as an old-style positronic robot in the Second Reality, but who is counting. The point is, that robot existed across a span of millions of years. I'm still assimilating all that data."

The group sexplay session in the laboratory and onboard Sedrover was now winding down and Tyhry again partially opened her telepathic mind to the gathered replicoids. Tyhry had never bothered to put her penis back into its sheath. She thought about how nice it had been to finally finally play inside Phyly's hot little vagina. One of her replicoid copies who had helped Tyhry process mail during her visit to New York placed a hand on Tyhry's erection and telepathically told Tyhry: I'm glad you finally got to ravish Phyly. The replicoid bent down and licked the last of Tyhry's semen that was dribbling out of her penis.

Image generated by Gemini.

Tyhry pushed her penis into her abdominal sheath and for a moment contemplated her burning desire to have a vaginal orgasm. Given her tryp'At physiology, ejaculation was always followed by an intense craving to have her lover reciprocate and as soon as possible ejaculate some klytykinin-rich semen into her vagina. However, Tyhry's sexual urges were now only a distraction from important business.

Tyhry was still telepathically linked into the Sedron Time Stream and she could now sense some of the complex thoughts that were there in the vast mind of the Kl'ath-Sedruth entity. She shouted out, "Phyly was a bumpha!"

 Kl'ath-Sedruth explained, "Tyhry, growing up during your short life, you have learned to refer to the bumpha as 'Manny', but the Manny construct was made in order to conform to your wants and desires for a delightful lover. Manny has routinely manipulated your behavior through her sexually-charged relationship with you. In the Ekcolir Reality, the bumpha had other needs and modes of operation and often appeared to humans in the form of a humanoid alien named Balok, the commander of an enormous spaceship called the Fesarius. In the context of the Sopha Intervention on Earth and the complex process of accumulating the temporal energy required for initiating the Final Reality, Balok visited Earth in 1939 and made sure that Rational Wonder Stories was founded and achieved its desired purpose."

Just then, the feathered form of Balok the bumpha appeared in a dim corner inside the nanotechnology laboratory. As all eyes in the room turned towards his flashy avian form, Balok walked towards the Viewer and spoke to Kl'ath-Sedruth, "And in this case, Sedy, I need to be here to make sure that you do not become overly exuberant in sharing the contents of Fendy's memories with Tyhry."

Kl'ath-Sedruth proclaimed, "While sharing the results of the Fendy mind download with Tyhry, I'm following your instructions to the letter, but mainly we are all bowing to the constraint imposed by Temporal Paradox. Even with my near-god-like ability to shuffle information around via the Sedron Time Stream, I can't create a Paradox in Time."

Balok waved a hand dismissively at the the image of Kl'ath-Sedruth on the Viewer display screen. "I don't have time for a discussion of the philosophy of Time." Balok took control of the Simulation and everyone there in the nanotechnology research laboratory seemed to freeze except for Balok and Tyhry. Balok placed one of his feathered hands on Tyhry's shoulder, "I trust you had fun giving me that orgasm."

Tyhry giggled, "I'm sorry to say that I was so busy trying to look into the mind of Fendy that I could not savor my orgasm when I ejaculated into your hot vagina. Maybe you'll give me a second chance?"

Balok allowed his own erection to pop out and its tip pressed against Tyhry's abdomen. "I identify as a male. If we are counting orgasms, then it is my turn to have the pleasure of ejaculating into your vaginas."

Tyhry laughed and said, "Don't get greedy. Which of my vaginas do you want to explore first?" Tyhry stroked Balok's penis which was covered with tiny downy feathers. "I'm not sure I want feathers in my vagina."

Balok suggested, "Don't knock it until you try it." But then Balok's penis seemed to disappear. "However, now is not the time for sexplay." All of the replicoids who were there in the laboratory began to move again as the Simulation System returned to its usual operating mode.

Tyhry telepathically told Balok: I want you to teach me how to pause a simulation like that.

Balok said, "My child, you must learn to respect the better judgement of the bumpha. Humans cannot be trusted with advanced technologies... at least the tryp'At have the Laws of Humanics enforced upon them." Balok told Tyhry telepathically: I trust a human-tryp-At hybrid to also bend her will to Law. "At this moment, I must be sure that Kl'ath-Sedruth does not say too much about the information obtained from the mind of the Fendy probot."

Tyhry asked the Kl'ath-Sedruth entity, "Did you see anything in in Fendy's memories about Mosy?"

Kl'ath-Sedruth replied, "Yes, the Fendy probot was involved in the Mosy Intervention, triggering the Reality Change that brought the Ekcolir Reality into existence."

Tyhry nodded. She had previously had a vision of the future, a vision of this very moment when Fendy's role in creating the Ekcolir Reality was revealed to her. However, in the past, she did not yet know or recognize Fendy when seen in that vision. Now, Kl'ath-Sedruth was showing a moving image of Fendy. And then Tyhry saw the copy of Eddy that was there in the New York Simulation fork with Fendy and playing the role of Murray Constyne. Next, Tyhry herself could be seen. Tyhry realized that she was watching a replay of events from inside the New York Simulation fork that Tyhry had just emerged from. Tyhry wondered how her father was getting along with Asimov and Janyt inside that Simulation fork as it continued to run. For a moment, Tyhry experience some cognitive dissonance as she thought about Simulations within Simulations.

Tyhry shook her head and tried to order her swirling thoughts. She turned to Balok and asked, "So tell me, why did you write that silly story about chromosome plasm?"

Balok chuckled, "When using Reality Viewing technology, I can search for optimal paths towards a desired future. In the case of creating the Final Reality, the relationship between the Fru'wu and the humans of Earth is at the fulcrum of a temporal inflection point. Even a small change in human perceptions of the Fru'wu has a large effect on the environmental catastrophe that that befalls Earth and on the.... flavor... of the Final Reality." 

Balok chuckled in a musical bird-like fashion. "Some versions of the Final Reality that I have Viewed are better than others... they are quite tasty. Other stink. I carefully crafted that 'silly' story so as the irritate Asimov and set in motion the events that eventually led to the departure of Sopha from Rational Wonder Stories. That was crucial for shaping the Anti-Fru movement and adding large amounts of temporal energy to Earth's Reality Chain that could be used to bring into existence a version of the Final Reality that had desirable features."

Tyhry could now see the pretty Phyly in the Simulation fork replay that continued on the Viewer screen. She mused, "Desireable?" 

Balok nodded his bird-like head. "Yes, little details like the Final Reality, including a wildly adventurous nanite programmer named Tyhry who would initiate the process of human telepaths spreading outwards from Earth to colonize millions of exoplanets in the galaxy."

Just then, Lexy, Systolina and Vythoth arrived in the nanite research laboratory. Tyhry commented, "The three musketeers."

Vythoth approached Balok and said, "I'm surprised to see you here on Earth."

Lexy had been trained by Balok for her mission on Earth, but Systolina had never previously met Balok. However, Systolina ignored the bumpha and she immediately complained to Tyhry, "Why are you blocking me from telepathically linking to your mind?"

Tyhry glanced at Balok and then apologized to Systolina, "I'm sorry, but if you are going to bring Nym into the Ekcolir Reality, then there are some things you need to know and others that you are better off not knowing. I don't want Nym reading your mind and flying into a rage."

Lexy was telepathically communicating with Balok and she smiled when Balok patted her on the head. Then Lexy turned towards Tyhry and asked, "Must your telepathy block extend to me?"

Tyhry held up her hands and spoke loudly to everyone in the laboratory. "I've recently learned how to use in combination the potent sex hormones created by my sister, infites from the Felydyans and key probot telepathic mind patterns that were identified by one of my replicoid copies to amplify my telepathic abilities. I will be excluding you all from my thoughts as needed." Then Tyhry took hold of Systolina's hands, "So, don't take it personally, my love. We now have everything that is needed to deal with Nym." Tyhry turned her head and looked at her analogue, Lexy. "You never did tell me the nature of your mission on Earth."

Lexy shrugged. "This is how Balok operates. He'll send someone like me into the past and then an Interventionist agent like me simply must wait while integrating into human society."

Tyhry nodded. "I know what you mean. One of our X-sisters named Sopha was sent to Earth, then after many decades had passed, she was able to carry out her mission when a femtozoan from the future was put into her Phari endosymbiont." Tyhry looked at Balok.

Balok explained to Tyhry, "Yes, I sent the Ahpos femtozoan into the past as part of the Rational Wonder Stories Intervention." Now Balok put an arm around Lexy. "Lexy, I am here today because this was to be the day when I finally provided you with the details of your mission. However, we are now inside a Simulation of Reality where Tyhry has altered the historical timeline of Earth."

Tyhry told Balok, "That makes no difference. I have need of Lexy so that I can complete the promise that I made to Systolina."

Lexy asked Tyhry, "What do you mean, 'X-sisters'?"

generated by Gemini

Tyhry explained, "In the far future of the Asimov Reality, a human-tryp'At hybrid was crafted... I call her 'X'. X was useful and because of her special abilities, many copies of her were made and used in the role of an Interventionist agent in the past of the Asimov Reality, in the Ekcolir Reality and also in the Final Reality. Tyhry placed a hand on one of Lexy's large breasts and said, "Lexy, I am one such copy of X and you are another."

Balok announced, "I believe that Tyhry has everything under control... for now, so I will depart."

Tyhry told Balok, "You still owe me a vaginal orgasm."

"When you visit your father in the New York fork, I'll be there waiting for you, as Phyly." Balok emitted more of his musical bird-like laughter and disappeared from the laboratory. 

Lexy said, "I thought Balok was going to tell me the details of my mission."

Now stoking and stimulating Lexy's big erect nipple, Tyhry told Lexy, "I've viewed your mission, but due to temporal paradox restrictions, you cannot know too much about your future. All I can say is that you now have everything that you need in order to complete your mission. However, as Balok said, just by being here for a few years, I have completely messed up the timeline of Earth as it exists in this Simulation of the Ekcolir Reality. In Balok's original plan, he introduced you to a probot who had been stationed on Earth for twenty years during which several Anti-Fru science fiction stories were written."

Vythoth said, "Let me guess. You are talking about Phyl Dyk."

Tyhry giggled. "Yes. Were this the original timeline of the Ekcolir Reality, today would have marked the end of Dyk's science fiction writing career. Balok would have introduced Dyk to Lexy and she would have completed Dyk's training for his new mission."

Systolina said, "I begin to understand." Systolina had been watching the Viewer where Kl'ath-Sedruth continued to replay images from the New York fork. On the display screen was Eddy engaged in sexplay with Janyt. Systolina was always interested in new ideas for how to sexually entertain humans, and Janyt was performing some remarkably gymnastic moves on Eddy's big tryp'At-style penis. Systolina ordered Kl'ath-Sedruth, "Show me Mosy at the time of his death."

Kl'ath-Sedruth put on the display screen what Systolina and Tyhry has previously viewed: the final moments of Mosy's life as he died of heat stroke and dehydration. When she had first seen the death of Mosy, she has been traumatized, but now she said, "Move ahead in time." On the screen, a time-lapse effect was initiated. Then Systolina added, "Stop when Mosy's body is discovered."

After another thirty seconds of high-speed playback of the past which included some wolves eating part of Mosy's body, The image froze. There on the screen and looking down on the dead Mosy was another copy of Tyhry.

Tyhry said, "Yes, of course. Another X-clone."

Lexy now recognized the scene that was being displayed by the Viewer. "After training the Dyk probot and familiarizing him with his mission, we were to go back in time. I was to dispose of the body of the biological Mosy and Dyk the probot was to live in that era and take the place of Mosy."

Tyhry explained, "Of course, the life of Mosy could not be allowed to end at age 20, not in the Final Reality where the Moses legend grew out of the events that took place during Mosy's long life."

Now the display screen of the Viewer was over-laid with flashing yellow letters from some unknown language. By the wonders of the Simulation System, that message was translated for her and Tyhry knew what the message said. She read it off, in English, a language that had never existed in the Ekcolir Reality. "Reality Change Initiated."

Vythoth spoke with wonder in his voice. "This event, the lonely death of a young man in the desert, is what triggered the Final Reality to come into existence?"

Tyhry contemplates the Dyk probot.

Tyhry nodded. "Exactly, but better to say: the non-death of Mosy. In the Ekcolir Reality, Mosy died and there never were any religions on Earth that included the Moses legend. Also, in the Ekcolir Reality, there was never a Roman Empire and a maternalistic Etruscan Empire dominated Western civilization. However, in the Final Reality, the Dyk probot stepped into Earth's historical timeline and was the origin of the Moses legend that eventually got written down in the Torah."

Systolina concisely summarized the Mosy Intervention. "A copy of me was sent to kill Mosy."

Tyhry added, "That probot, a version of you, was sent to Earth by Interventionists who wanted to create a future where technological advancements were accelerated and Earth would be ready to welcome First Contact with the alien Fru'wu in the 1950s."

Systolina continued, "But to create the Final Reality, Lexy took Dyk into the past."

Lexy asked, "Where is Dyk?"

Tyhry giggled and massaged the tip of her penis where it was barely concealed by her short skirt. "Balok bowed to my needs and pulled Dyk out of this Simulation of the Ekcolir Reality. And now we can bring Nym here. In a very real sense, I created Nym the religious fanatic. Rather than allow Nym to make Systolina's life hellish inside her fork of the Asimov Reality, I'll bring him into a simulation of the Ekcolir Reality to meet Lexy." Tyhry laughed loudly and with great relief. "I have been developing some skill in programming infites, but I'm just a beginner. Nym will need his thoughts to be carefully modified, allowing him to embrace the role of Moses."

Lexy cried out, "Yes. And Balok gave me the needed infites that we can use to reprogram Nym!"

Vythoth asked Tyhry, "So, now you will bring the Nym probot here, to the Ekcolir Reality?"

Tyhry shook her head. "No, I have contaminated this fork of the Ekcolir Reality. However, I can easily start a new Fork of the Simulation in which Sedrover was never built. Tyhry took one hand of Systolina and one hand of Lexy and pulled them towards the portal of the Reality Simulation System. She told Kl'ath-Sedruth, "Make it so!" Tyhry, Systolina and Lexy passed into a new Simulation fork of the Ekcolir Reality where Nym was already waiting for them.
