It was a time of great change in all countries and Lands.
The big freeze in 1867 had preserved our extinction of insects, birds, and humans. They were frozen in caves and mountains so treacherous that they were unable to be accessed by humans in order to survive the extinction process that was to occur in the future.
Science called it cryogenic, this had been taking place for a couple hundred years, until now it was still a science fiction story of survival after being frozen.
People and other visitors from planets were deep frozen from 1898 by Professor Elm in California and the Iceland in New Glands.
NASA had begun tracking and storing samples on Mars from 1947 , the researchers were under the official secret Acts.
This was all about to change!
The Glens from a far away planet that scientists had previously identified was all visible due to all the extra information and technology needed for the telescope to detect and observe, measure roughly its distance from Earth and it unnerved those that thought that information on other life forms were in the cosmic realm of illusion and science fiction; well the The Thaw of 2023 highlighted many scientific discoveries and information that could not be hidden from the public eye any longer.
People were finally waking from a deep hypnotic state of oppression of their own consciousness.
There lived a young boy in Africa who thought that his life would never amount to much of anything, other than carrying on other researchers techniques and technology to create new environment friendly, ecological and economic conditions in hopes of saving ‘Planet Earth’
Only thing is he quickly realised he had other avenues of interest and used his talents for investment into the Artificial Intelligence.
This is where the story begins…….
Elijah was born in Southern Africa a childhood in which his parents were in the mining industry, where his stepfather was a Shrewd engineer and businessman, who worked hard for his family. Elijah one of three children didn’t really know what he wanted to do in his life but he knew it wasn’t going to be mining for minerals in a volatile country.
Tragedy occurred when his stepfather was killed in an explosion and grief stricken his Mother moved to America, California in the late 80s and was enrolled in a private school and he never felt comfortable with people around, who would not become part of his journey, as Elijah was always restless in the process of being a teenager into adulthood; not knowing he was a very special and selected Man that was too actually change the world!
Mary and John his big Sister and brother were twins and enjoyed nothing more than the ranch life, cattle breeding and herding. His mother was extremely protective of Elijah as he was the Apple of her eye, but she also knew his path in life was going to become a turbulent one and worried greatly about him.
His biological father was a figure who came in and out briefly in their lives but they all worked extremely closely and hard together in their careers.
Elijah great Grandfather was in the Battle of southern France and was a prominent figure in the teachings in early philosophy of science in astronomy 🔭
He taught mathematics and science in the University of Cambridge.
Elijah flitted in and out of unexplained detail of energy; vibration and sound waves. His mentor would be (without him realising) be Nikola Tesla.
His first adventure would land him in hot water with the Government of Canada after fitting Solar’s design for electricity to provide electricity for a whole state. This is where it didn’t quite strike him that the freeze of 2001 completely destroyed the power supply and left hundreds without power. He took this as a huge knock and dent in his financial career.
From there he worked day and night on his electric car! Even had it lifting and flying a short distance, and later space station.
You see Elijah had developed an innate curiosity, capable of navigating a world in chaos with no fear of technology in that this would now have the attention of world leaders and governments, but it also came with a huge price tag for true innovation and trust in his workforce.
He would be considered an eccentric, he didn’t realise he was paving the way to success in being an eccentric genius in many fields of engineering and technology, research and development in Artificial Intelligence.
The first step was to overcome the obstacles of fear mongers, who we’re breeding at an alarming rate underground to be known as vigilantes who were delusional in their belief system that the enemy was actually the saving grace.
The turbulence.
It was a strange day in 2021 it was just weather from the beginning of the last we would see of normal. Unusually cold and the freeze caused us to move the Bisson across California to graze further east . Just thought it was global warming sneaking in which we didn’t really take notice of until the firestorm.
Justine ! Justine! Look over the west . What on earth is all that smoke?
“It’s probably just idiotic imbeciles with a barbecue and let it catch fire.” Explains Justine in her naïveté.
I knew something very wrong was happening. The whole woodland in Torres was ablaze. It completely engulfed, the forest, homes, animals and all living creatures were destroyed.
While to the East we had severe frost!
The news was just erratic, Australia were ablaze! The world was in turmoil. Hundreds of thousands of acres of land were destroyed and hundreds of thousands of species of plants, animals were wiped from the earth.
“Oh don’t start with this nonsense Maylore of seeing things again! “
Justine hated me explaining my vision and the voices I heard about what country and weather would be going to be struck again. She hated me seeing and hearing from what I only knew as a sixth sense. “It reminds me of a witch,” she would say; making me feel bad or “different “ and it would make me retreat back into my shell, like the star sign I was. A crab.
“Justine one of these days I know inside you are going to be sorry you think this way, as this “witch” you call me; may just save your life.” I retorted.
Justine knew I hated being called a witch as I was a religious woman who had been brought up to believe that witchcraft and witches were bad! But many people were professed to be ‘white’ witches and sorcerers but it all went against the‘grain’ with me. Justine knew this and said that my vision and voices were not holy.
Anyway we were inseparable friends, could tell each other most things.
Frank a friend of ours could see and hear things too. But we just read each other’s minds as we could do this, Frank and I.
He didn’t think Elijah had pure intentions and wanted to lobotomise People with a sense for things occurring before they did and replaced their thoughts and emotions in reality he was using humans as a incubation chamber for his own personal development and the technology he needed to provide for cyborgs.
One night Frank and I broke into NASA top secret office and discovered that they had been secretly working on ‘Aliens’ and their spacecraft. Well I panicked and triggered the alarm!
The Secret Service and FBI were all over us like a rash. We were let off and laughed at by our friends when we told them what we saw!
Archie , well that’s what he called himself, rang me and asked to meet in private at an undisclosed location until half hour before the meeting. I was apprehensive at first, but being inquisitive I couldn’t turn it down. I felt like it was a test and I was about to be enrolled into something much bigger than I expected.
We met and talked at great lengths about Elijah and his relationship with Elijah had been very positive at first but then he had been influenced by a psychologist Mr Gats who he explained was a rotten apple’ deceitful and dangerous.
