Chapter Thirteen: Exodus 18:26

“I have a paradox to contend with,” Val-Koorin spoke to Geogyn. His attention wasn‘t directed his way. He just kept looking over, past Oswalt’s platoon into his own doom-laden prison. “This is something I cannot do, but it must be done.”

Geogyn became confused at his statement. He was God. God could do anything, at least that was what everyone who worshiped him believed. Then the old Atheist question interrupted his thoughts.

Could God make a rock so heavy, he couldn‘t lift it? After listening to Val-Koorin's dark statement, he believed anything was possible.

“I will do what you request,” Geogyn said, trying to comfort Val-Koorin with his steadfast loyalty.

“You do not have the authority or power to augment this decision,” Val-Koorin warned him. “This is my responsibility alone. Your speculated influence is not required.”

Geogyn was taken aback. His entire existence had been augmented to serve Val-Koorin. The projection of his deity’s absolution had been redirected. It confused his commitment. He believed what he was doing was at the request of a flawless God.

“I never said I couldn’t do it,” Val-Koorin interrupted his errant thoughts. “I wrestle with morality, also. The problem is, should I do it?”

Geogyn kept falling into his own conundrum. He began to pass it off as Val-Koorin working in mysterious ways when Val-Koorin began to explain.

“Sometimes the people you erase aren’t completely wrong. Even when every action they had done was deemed abhorrent,” he stated.

“But I have felt the darkness in all of my targets,” Geogyn said. “There were no redeeming qualities in any of them.”

“This action is still not redeeming. As vile as this action would have been, it was, ultimately necessary.” Val-Koorin kept adding to the confusion.

Geogyn tried to keep respect, but the conversation kept derailing. He wanted to keep it on the track to a logical result, but he kept falling off. He finally had to keep the conversation steady. “All right, Val-Koorin, you keep losing me. What are you talking about?”

Val-Koorin realized he was being enigmatic. He clarified his statements. “When you erased President Nelson, the execution of a dictator never happened. This dictator continued her evil atrocities on humanity and the planet.”

“Then why don’t I go and erase her now?” Geogyn asked.

“It‘s not that easy,” Val-Koorin explained. “She murdered many of her people by poisoning the earth of her lands with a chemical abomination that eats and infects everything organic in its path. It was meant for biological warfare. Since it destroyed many of the inhabitants of Changchun China, she forced them to create a rebellion that executed her. She has been dead for eight months, but the chemical has saturated the land. It is growing exponentially. Her death came much too late to matter, and since you can‘t erase who is already dead, I have a paradox.”

“I can erase the chemists,” Geogyn said, with a positive light gracing his conclusion.

“Don’t insult your own intelligence by thinking I haven’t come to that as a logical conclusion, Geogyn,” Val-Koorin said somberly to Geogyn.
