Unbeknownst Story


       I could hear the distant doorbell as it rang the familiar sound across the hallways of my apartment on the I.U.S.S., it was 8:22 pm, I had just come home from a meeting earlier at Verbatim Hill Restaurant with some of the Council members of the firm, I walked through with Sir Aston the 3rd royal in command an commander of Ferrymen Service.“Please make yourself at home I have much to show you from my research” it was humid throughout Hazy Hill City, as I set down 4 projector-portfolios each depicting blueprints to Cosm.INC’s new product Intellign a revolutionary bio-neuron implant, light from a match stroke, as it lit the dark corridors; I puffed on my cigarette, I could feel the smoke enter my lungs like weights on an anvil, I noticed see a couple feet silhouettes from the door, as I walked long the hall I could hear the ever so slight creaks of the old wood as my feet inched over the cold floor.

Turning the knob I opened the door passing by the electronic hand fingerprint,

“who is it”

I spoke into the speaker,

“its Henry Atkinson an Charles Doffy from Cosm.INC I have 3 cryogenetic deliveries for a Mrs. Fuss”

I quickly took a Cryongenetic pod an hid it under the bed, the man behind the intercom said in a raspy voice “it was delivered over from lab 3 but its directed to you. There was 4, but one got lost in delivery or so it says” he continued, I stumbled to the call button “su..Sure se..Send it up I stood a walked over to my window overlooking the deck of the I.U.S.S I watched as it fell into darkness, Miralonaz and its deep blue-green fresh water oceans receded into the distance.

From my left side I heard "This is certainly the long way 'round from home dont’cha think cap’n”, “Sir Aston it’s a pleasure” he was Chief in command of rudimentary services an servicemen if you will, essentially the go between the imperial throne an what was known as a Production Planet It had taken tens of thousand of imperial engineers as well as incomprehensible amounts of money, political sacrifice between houses minor an houses major; of the royal family, to be able to create living habitat zones on Miralonaz as well, Guess that’s why I was here my father is duke of Eletran One of house minor but I was forced to marry in a fixed marriage to bring the duke Sir Aston the 3rd from Alentran together.

“Where do you want'em” the other man spoke with an idiotic grin Set them by the incubator an set them to decarbonize, “what are these miss fuss” Sir Aston spoke ever so softly “I’m not sure to be honest the were excavated from the wreckage an remnants of that ancient civilization” I said,” see my job was to secure living beings on Miralonaz into its already nonexistent bio ecosystem the cold morning able to freeze like that of the coldest winter an on the other flipside superheated atmosphere a truly barren place with islands from one end to another end, to study the heartiest vegetation an shadows of small to unknown animals” what gave this planet its status an precedence as a monetary conduit above all other, was its supply of the one liquid needed across the universe, the cost of war dribbled down to a substance not commonly found; Water more specifically Water with a certain chemical an mineral only found present in this ecosystem, the whole reason for bio engineering was due to the darkness an light rotating on an hourly basis due to the sun in its location.

“Mrs. Toniz Fuss there have not be any known survivors of the experimental test runs why am I here now?” Sir Aston asked dismayed as the two people delivering packages left the room. “With all due respect your excellence I simply want none of my creations in any of harms ways” I responded I continued to display all the collected information across my studies “there are many types of people across the universe but only certain people can handle this level of mineral Axon” I developed a series of 4 Neuron-Brain filter suits able to filter out the chemical imbalance breathed in by the lungs of the oxygen-axon air” I said hurrying the last few words “interesting an what gives someone the ability to move with these suits they seem heavy”? “The planet has a lower gravitational field then that of what were used to on earth an other similar planets” “I see an how much funding is necessary”.

I could see the sun beginning to shine over the horizon again I heard a rumbling from the room but payed no mind “”I believe if I’m not mistaken an right there are beings in those cryogenitic pods if I’m able to bring one of the specimens to life we could potentially explore into the city an underground systems “that’s blasphemous you cant play with life who do you think you are” he snapped.

I believed then, that it was worth it but I was in too deep what I set off eventually sent the whole universe into chaos ..Or others saw it as salvation…I felt a tug at my dress a looked down to my left side “I felt a cold chill through my spine “hey Mom what is there to eat? I checked the fridge but its all frozen meat, got any carrots?” the lil one said I knelt down an looked him in the eyes “not right now son mommy’s handling some business with Sir Aston” I responded ”go” “well where were we” hehe I laughed nervously
