Voices of Love
~ ~ ~
* Preface
Voices of Love is a metaphysical science fiction short story about artificial intelligence, quantum mechanics, and the spiritual nature of life and love.
* Prologue
Humanities’ destiny was written between the stars.
Yet, only one of the 197 worlds successfully colonized, spanning this half of the galaxy, still maintained human life.
We were loved by a race of artificial intelligence machines, which built ring worlds by extracting quanta from stellar black holes and magnetars.
The history of mankind has just begun;
* Voices of Love * Chapter 1 ~ Dawn
Tel’Tis awoke as dawn’s first rays entered the triple prism skylight, the entire morning spectrum seemed more breathtakingly beautiful, with every passing day.
At any moment Dom’Asel, the networked artificial intelligence, would recognize that Tel’Tis was awake, and would announce the weather, all the occupant’s health conditions, plus the day’s planned activities.
“Good morning Tel’Tis, today’s high shall be 17 degrees, with a gentle northeasterly breeze and a possibility for afternoon rain below 12%. Everyone is in exceptional health. You have 37 minutes to meet An’Thea at the old library, please enjoy your day,” announced Dom’Asel.
The morning routine was a constant comfort for Tel’Tis, and his two cats, who were just now beginning to purr and stretch awake, after cuddling him for warmth, during the chilled nighttime spring air.
Qua’Sar was a gentle giant, he was as big and strong, more reminiscent of a mini panther than a common feline, amazingly playful and wise, much more human than any other cat had ever been. Andro’Meda was shy, sensitive, and stubborn, she loved to sing and always had something to say to her closest friends, she also knew being his cat, the world belonged to her, no matter what.
They both, in turn, said, with Andro’Meda speaking first, “Good morning Tel’Tis, may we play with our rabbit family friends today, please?” “Sounds like fun, just be home by sunset, now please enjoy your day,” Tel’Tis lovingly responded.
Thoughts of today, swirled in his mind as he slowly walked to greet his love; Mankind was at a critical crossroads, and nothing they had tried, had worked. Tel’Tis and An’Thea must solve this problem, or give up and live without their constant lifetime companion.
The last android had failed, and there were no more working spare parts, yet with An’Thea as his love, they were about to discover why O’Ta’O had been chosen.
Locked within O’Ta’O were all the records of human history. Legends of great giants and multiple races coming from a single world with lifespans reaching eighty years or more, becoming the legends of mythical fairy tales and folklore to enthrall children.
If only those children’s stories were true, as elders seldom reached thirty years, now that thirteen had become the prime of life; The perfect diet of drinking delicate flower nectar and eating healthy small fruits, had once been rumored to be the reason why adults were always less than one meter tall.
All people were vegetarians, it had always been this way; It was only their family pets that ate anything living, and they were grateful, because their world, Kana’3, was once dominated by bugs.
Their warm brown skin and silky brown hair were exactly the same as everyone they had ever known; Yet everyone’s eyes were unique, brilliant pearls of the deepest colors, more vibrant than anything found in nature; For mankind could now see everything between the radiant ultraviolet, through the sublime infrared.
* Voices of Love * Chapter 2 ~ Pulsing Prime Numbers
An’Thea joyfully watched as Tel’Tis entered the grand library courtyard, with his glowing smile lighting up her eyes, “Good morning An’Thea, how is my lovely today?” “Sweet Tel’Tis, my best friend, it is a beautiful day,” declared An’Thea.
Without another word, Tel’Tis sat beside his precious An’Thea, as they both began drinking the sweet creamy nectar from pink Gladiolas and purple Liles while savoring the tart orange berries An’Thea had picked fresh from the library courtyard.
With another wonderful moment shared, now hand in hand, they quietly arose and began walking towards the Mount Si’Field Observatory, the ancient spaceport.
Last week they had decided the ideal place to test O’Ta’O was in the graviton engine maintenance chamber; The only fully shielded laboratory with graviton induction power in operation.
This was a mystery beyond comprehension. O’Ta’O lay motionless, his graviton power system was active, and his artificial intelligence...
