It was the hour of Jupiter and time for magical expansion, a time where just about anything was possible, it was also Thursday, how exciting was that?
Molly sat in her favorite spot in her local tavern, lit her pipe and started to prepare for her encounter on Caralibro Messenger, an encounter with one of the strangest people sheâd ever met, he fascinated her, she knew he was dangerous, somehow otherworldly, yet his energy was alluring and titillating,
Although not new on her world, the Intra Connection System that linked everyone on the planet, via computers, personal communication, and information (PCI) tablets and the Synthetic Telepathic App (STA) now installed in pretty much everyoneâs pineal gland, had been available without censorship for only a few years, for who exactly was left to do the censoring?
It wasnât so much that Omarâs planetary government had somehow become liberal in its old age, thought Molly, it was that the ruling Illuminati had believed by implanting the STA into the brains of everyone on the planet, they would have control of both thought and emotion and therefore censorship would no longer be necessary.
Twenty billion people or so on Omar or one of its six satellite moons, imagine that power when even thought was controlled, the Illuminati believed it would be unstoppable, but its greatest achievement was its monumental failure and the start of its dramatic demise. Yet the real reason for the Illuminatiâs immense decision to implant the STAs was a fear of Jellah and the political and spiritual monstrosity known as Merriweather Dome. The whole way of life, the beast society of Omar and its six moons was in peril, the very survival of the Illuminati under threatâ¦but no-one, Jellah or the Illuminati, could have foreseen the effects of the STAs on the Universe as they knew it.
Mollyâs PCI tablet started to flash and sound her favorite tune, the ode to the bornless one. Beastie her dog arrived and nodded his approval and seemingly from nowhere Stilicoso her new friend from the red tribe of the djinn jumped up on to her left shoulder. His profile name Temohpab flashed across her screen, triggering the STAs in her brain and in Beasties. The dog looked at her a second time indicating his approval, but both were cautious too. Only the little Djinn on Mollyâs shoulder seemed to lack any trepidation, somehow Stilicoso was more feral she (Molly) noticed, the Djinn had even bared her breasts, something Molly had never seen her do before.
âMy friendâ Molly greeted the man, âItâs been a few weeks Dimitriâ. Molly could feel her Djinn radiating excitement and Beastie tense beside her, she couldnât blame either of them, she felt both emotions in equal measure.
âMollyâ Dimitri almost sounded like he was purring âyes a few weeks although perhaps we measure time somewhat differentlyâ he fawned. âI see you have companions with you this time, a dog with an advanced consciousness and a demonic djinnâ¦ooh youâve upped the stakesâ.
