Ajax rises. His tone has shifted.

He has an agenda; I feel it moving. “Dorn, you are going to learn how to use the Multi-Plexus. No part of the Subvoxian technology can be used without it. The Multi-Plexus is how I am here with you, and also with the other 35 humans at the same time. The Multi-Plexus is how I am controlling the Shangri-La.”

I am staggered by this, “Ajax, you are controlling that entire ship yourself?”

Ajax laughs, “Impressed I see... it will be hard for you to understand. We can talk about this later, but right now, we must increase your capability. There are many tiers of understanding. There is much we must see.”

Ajax continues, “The Plaidan were a superb species. However, there were specific tendencies and nerve variations that led to the inability to direct the technology in a productive way. It didn't take.”

I interject, “So the Plaidan were not morally corrupt in a way that led to their destruction? They didn't nuke themselves? They just... flinched, or played a bad game, or needed a different prescription?”

Ajax says, “There were small problems with all of the above.”

“So, you are here to test our humanity... and skill first?”

“Yes. We have studied

humans for quite some time, with our preliminary field labs. These are automated systems, smaller ships. When the Shangri-La arrives, it is the last test.”

I reply, “So if you cannot help us, what happens to our planet.”

Ajax says, “emanant destruction.”

I reel.

“I am kidding, Dorn. We will disseminate simpler technologies to help cure diseases, reverse this global warming, new energy systems, and restore the oceans that humanity has recklessly destroyed. We will instill a new informative education technology that will slowly, over the next 200 years, train away the primitive mentality. It will possibly take another thousand years to evolve humanity into congenial alignment with the Subvoxian technology. The alterations would be too much for simple DNA alteration. It requires systemic change. You must understand, your scientists have discovered much technology from vessels that we left behind millennia ago.”

I can’t even reply. I finally ask, “And if we do qualify, now?”

Ajax says, “Then by the end of next year you will exist in a reality that you cannot understand today. It will be as unfathomable as your meeting with that Subvoxian. In one year, humanity will evolve 1,000 years into the future. In ten years, you will be a new kind of creature.”

My expression contains a brief mix of awe and trepidation.

Ajax laughs, “Think positively. I see that twinge of horror, Casey. I see it right there.”

Ajax peers toward the sky and turns my way, “So Casey, shall we move on?”

I insist, “One last thing — why must we learn this tech individually — will we have to operate these machines manually?”

Ajax says, “If the Subvoxian technology can be applied to your species, what you understand as 'work' and 'machine' will be drastically changed. In fact, the very nature of reality itself will be changed. It will redefine everything.”

I feel puzzled.
