Chapter Twenty-Seven

The buzzing on my wrist woke me. I’d fallen asleep in the den, and before I sat up, I realized I had an uncomfortable crick in my neck.

I pulled up my screen and clenched my fist. New Post to the Eightieth Generation.

Geronimo was spewing out more and more of his crap at a faster and faster speed. I tried tracking it before I read, but, as usual, nothing came up.

Then I read:

We are warned against impatience in the Manifesto, yet it is in our nature to fear that which we don’t understand. It is also in our nature to destroy that which we fear.

Is it any wonder that when the Humanitarian Project was revealed for what it was, we sought to destroy it all? No. I can forgive that which was in our nature.

Fifteen years later, we have had time to digest the whims of our fear. Now that we have, I will not be able to forgive any Destruction that comes beyond this moment.

For I have met her, and I have been her friend. She is no more dangerous than you or I when you consider everyone’s ability to create or destroy. You, my countrymen, who seek her death, are those whom we should fear. Destruction rests in your will more than it does in hers.

His logic sounded logical, but his feeds were, like always, unbalanced. If he’d just play up both sides, I would have more respect for him.

I shook my head. At least Texi wasn’t trapped in that universe anymore. Geronimo could go ahead and keep spouting off that crappy propaganda, because at least now we could keep her safe. Maybe, now that I didn’t need to worry about the forum giving away Texi’s location, I wouldn’t have to keep such a close eye on it. I shut off the screen, unwilling to give the forum any more of my Energy. Although it did make me realize that there were things Texi needed to learn faster than I would have liked her to.

Forums. They were the same in every universe that existed within technology, and the Planck Activation Bracelets allowed for instantaneous downloads from Explorers for Watchers to filter. I remembered when Nobu allowed me access to it for the first time. “Do not attach yourself to any belief, because you’ll only find one that contradicts it two articles later. Explore all sides of every issue you come across, because if you believe before you understand, then you fall into ignorance.” He was right. For all the talk within The Manifesto about balance, our government sure did like to sway into extremes.

But maybe it was time to teach Texi how to use the forums. I recognized that it may be a mistake to give her the databases so early on, but she’d understand more if she knew how to find the answers to random questions on her own. After last night, I felt the cold fingers of time squeezing around us. Now that she was opening
