Project Arab Dagger was a proposal to pierce the "Steel Veil" between Earth Defense Force and the Caliphate. DECO and Central Command bought in on the project, too. With everybody on board, what could go wrong?

Everything!

The first thing to go wrong was being summoned to a conference on one of the new capital warships. Don't ask me which one. I didn't get to see more than a transporter room, some corridors, and the conference room. Didn't even get to use the bathroom! The good thing was that the meeting was short. Oh, yes, there was some conditioning to avoid discussing the meeting.

Meetings, meetings, meetings. I'd rather be on stable duty grooming Blitzkrieg. My preferences are of no importance to the impersonal universe. Back in Conference Room Four there was a meeting including Tess, Lilith, Georgia, Mary and the good Colonel Dorman. It was a mission briefing on training a number of Earth personnel who were NOT part of the Earth Defense Force. The artificial intelligence running the station, Ramses, introduced an artificial intelligence new to me: Ricardo Coreleone. The training site was Ares Station, hidden somewhere on Mars to isolate the trainees. A chain of linked and boosted transporter pads permitted me to step from classroom to my home in an instant. Travel from Mars to Earth was only a step, too.

Dorman wasn't to interact with the trainees. As far as Colonel Dorman knew, Arab Dagger was happening at the mobile academy. The deception was important.

"What did the committee say about your paranoid fantasy?" Colonel Dorman sneered. "Did they shoot you down?"

"I can't discuss it, sir," I was referring to my conditioning. Security measures – a combination of Confederacy techniques that ensured my silence.

Ramses announced.

"But I can," Georgia said. "Tom discovered that some people welcome the Sa'arm coming to Earth because the Sa'arm will kill off the human race. It isn't really a conspiracy so much as a loose association of humans who believe that there are too many humans. They've been working behind the scenes to reduce human population levels for over two centuries."

"Not very successfully, either," Mary commented. "The goal seems to have been keeping Earth's human population to five hundred million. About 1750, the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, an estimated 750 million humans lived on Earth. We reached a population of one billion around the year 1800 and the conspirators decided that one billion was too many. These conspirators tried to remedy the epidemic of too many humans but their efforts failed. In two hundred years we humans expanded from one billion to over seven billion."

The funny thing about 'classified information' is that the TOP SECRET label will persist long past the need for keeping facts hidden from the world. An example is the secret accords between European 'neutral' nations and the warring Allied powers over the return of Allied fliers that survived destruction of their aircraft over Nazi-occupied Europe. Not just the fly-boys, either; many spies crossed 'neutral' territory both into and out of the occupied zones. Diplomatic secrets are kept for centuries. I was prohibited from discussing something that everybody already knew about. Oh, well. The only people I was allowed to discuss the subject with were artificial intelligences. Period.

"Eugenics wasn't a conspiracy," Tess stated. "It was mass delusion shared by all educated people. I don't want to believe that my church had anything to do with the Eugenics movement but the way Tom explained how such involvement would work made sense. Controlling the supply of drugs killed millions. Banning pesticides killed millions. Denying birth control measures also promoted the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases. Labor regulations. They were all sold as protecting life but Franz Kafka wrote the laws."

I said nothing. I wasn't permitted to comment.

"Congratulations, Colonel Lawrence," Georgia announced. "You are now a colonel in Earth Defense Forces."

"Don't let that go to your head, punk!" Colonel Dorman exercised his tactful manners. "You are still a lieutenant in the Confederacy Navy. Not even a real fighting man, a Space Marine!"

"You are outnumbered, Johnny," Lilith said. "There are three naval colonels and one of them is the captain of this ship. I am a civilian official. Tess is Civil Service. Do you want to bring in the AI's? They all like Tom. Notice that there are no non-human critters in here right now. Tom has a new friend, an albino speckled cobra. She loves him. Anybody treating Tom in an unfriendly manner is going to be bit. Cobra venom, nasty stuff."

"Are you threatening me?" Johnny Dorman squeaked.

"What will you do about me threatening you?" Lilith was a small woman and Colonel Dorman was a standard Marine rebuild, two meters and more than a hundred kilograms. "Central Command is planning a regiment-sized landing on a Sa'arm-held world. They could use a regimental commander to lead the boots on the ground."

Forge of StonesChapter 5

A long and winding path The mountain grew ever more unkind. Its many bare faces looked down upon a lonely figure, slowly but surely making its way through the rocks, gravel, low grass and loose dirt. His hood was down, revealing a stern but humble face. Care lines dotted his forehead, and one could easily spot he was not a man prone to laughing easily. His face was adorned by a beard grown out of necessity, not choice, and his thin long hair was unkempt; a few wild strands jutted in strange...

Forge of StonesChapter 18

The Pilgrim aroused Molo from his fretful sleep with a nudge. Molo woke up with a gasp, his body tense, his face and palms sweaty. The Pilgrim thought his brother was troubled, as he had been for the last two nights. It was as if the spirits of the land and sky were not in his dreams; as if they did not safekeep him from the malevolence of the archenemy. He would pray for his brother at dawn; he hoped something lesser was troubling him. Some lover, or a wife. His children, perhaps. He...

The Mermaid and the Dagger

The Mermaid and the Dagger by shalimar They called me Boris. I was the younger of two brothers who were considered outlaws by our King. He was a good king, and fortunately for us, our offenses were minor and limited to hunting in his private preserve, a forested area on the border of our kingdom and two others. Sergie, my brother, and I often told the authorities about incursions from one of those other kingdoms. I believed we were tolerated and not hunted down like the deer we...

Daughter of the Forge

SIMON Upon my fifteenth birthday, four years ago last month, I became apprenticed to mine own father, an innkeeper of some repute. For four years, I plied his trade, learning nuance and routine, doing all that seemed to him to please our boarders, and then some. After four years at this station, I was given the rank of journeyman to him, and in that promotion increased in terms both of authority and responsibility, with only three more years before my name would join his on the...

Forge of StonesChapter 21

"And the God visited upon the land he alone had wrought amidst the firmament of the stars. For a while he was content to live among His people and teach them all that he saw fit in his infinite wisdom. One day they built the Forge of Stones, and offered it to God as a gift, a sign of their devotion. God was saddened and His people asked him why that was; He answered that they had need of him no more. And then God sailed on a ship of no sails, and left behind His people that called him...

Synapses: Time loop makes a virgin of a man over and over again introduction: In a post apocalyptic world (earth) there are no rules or laws. Other than an eye for an eye. Raped repeatedly over the course of many years, with many children as a result, the woman lays tied to a bed and locked in a cage in a locked room with many other cages and women of all ages. Other rooms set up for the same purpose: reproduction More sex slaves are grown and raised (females aged...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 11 Snakes

The three types of Army fools are plain fools, damned fools and volunteers. Good thing I'm Confederacy Navy now. I had three assignments in a 15-hour period in the center of Florida: talk some foster care centers into letting me have their orphans, working with a wild animal park and their big cats, and attending a service of snake handling Christian fundamentalists. "While you're on assignment," Lilith told me in the ready room, "I want a golden sword like this." 'This' was a Cold...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 21 Niitakayama Nobore

On 2 December 1941 the following message was received aboard Admiral Nagumo's flagship: Niitakayama Nobore. That was the signal for Admiral Nagumo to launch the attack on Pearl Harbor with his carrier planes: "Climb Mount Niitaka." To my knowledge the message was sent several times but Nagumo wasn't supposed to reply—radio silence was one of the methods used to achieve surprise. Nagumo's attack was coordinated with an all-out offensive throughout the Pacific. When I received the...

Time Loop

A time loop is when a person or persons relive the same day over and over with no one else having any memory of it. Sometimes the person in the time loop does it on purpose, other times the person has no control over the loop. That's what this story will be about. Any writers who want to contribute to this story are more than welcome to it. Also, any readers who are not writers, but want to see a particular story line are free to drop me a message, and I'll do my best to either incorporate it...

Forge of StonesChapter 13

Tyrpledge had been unavoidably spenting the past few days inside his minute office, sitting at his desk with piles of reports and inventories stacked in front of him up to his neck. The minutiae of a preparation for complete mobilization were indeed innumerable. Personnel manifests, rotation forecasts, matériel inventories, requisition forms, count practicals, soldier and officer levies, clothing requests, workshop and mill necessitation orders, movement and guard formations, and forced...

Time Loop

You wake up in a small hotel room, at exactly 7:02 a.m., just like so many days before. It's not like you've been here forever, but it certainly feel so when you look at the familiar ceiling and the bare walls. In fact you've only stayed for a single night, but it seems like you've somehow been trapped in some kind of time loop, which sees you living the same day over and over again. The first few times it happened you were in a state of shock and confusion, but now you're just trying to figure...

Empathic Echoes Chapter 1 Feedback Loop

"I know what you are," said a voice.Sienna glanced up from her phone looking to see who had spoken. It was some guy, mid-twenties, long dark hair, unkempt. He was sitting at a nearby table watching her, his feet propped up on an extra chair. He had this ineffable kind of sleazy charm that she couldn't quite describe. He definitely stood out. He was wearing a tight black band t-shirt, black jeans and combat boots. It was July. Who wears combat boots in the middle of the summer?"...what?" Sienna...

Forge of StonesChapter 22

"Prepare for release." Major Guighan relayed the General's order to the signals' officer with a nod and a gesture of his hand. The signals' officer then communicated it by a hand gesture to a soldier who held two colored flags. The soldier began waving the flags in a specific pattern repeatedly. In the far distance where the siege engine battalion was arrayed, an answering wave of flags could be seen shortly thereafter. The signal had been acknowledged. A few moments later, a single red...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 24 Fish or Cut Bait

Rocket to the Moon at Disneyland was a theater in the round with an audience capacity of 100 and a show duration of ten minutes. Uncle Walter had recreated that 1955-vintage ride and I was serving as ride host for 100 orphans. When the show ended, I asked the kids for an after action report. "When you finish your AAR," I announced, "your next stop is the Jedi Academy." "I'll take it from here, Tom," Uncle Walter told me. He was a full-bodied ghost in a Confederacy Navy uniform, rank...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 2 Under the Radar PickUp

"Mary" was Operations Officer Popov. I'm not sure about ranks. Mary Popov wore soft clothes, not a uniform. Her office was less formal than Colonel Ney's. She had a work station in the corner of the room, a couch with a coffee table and a pair of facing arm chairs. There was a fireplace—had to be fake. Fires in a closed environment are a very bad idea. The floor looked like wood covered with several different carpets—and a bear skin rug, too. Native American art decorated the room—from...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 14 Bab Lab

I have a standing bet that if Jane Goodall had studied baboons instead of chimps, she would have given up and gone home. The many primatologists studying baboons are unanimous in hating those fucking primates! The reason is obvious—primate society is too damned human! The baboon laboratory was a space fifty kilometers in diameter. Yes, I know—there's no way that could have fit aboard our ship. Fifty kilometers in diameter and five kilometers high. The baboon troop had been 153 individuals...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 19 WolfVille

Baby Huey was the artificial intelligence controlling Messenger of the Gods, our station's shuttle. Drones helped pick the spot and a transporter pad provided our entry point—a few yards away was the den. My contact team was myself, three other humans, a wolf, a German Shepard dog, and a baboon. We had a floater with approximately a ton of cargo, too. When we emerged from the transporter pad I separated from the others and began bellowing the ballad called "The Minstrel Boy." I got to...

Wake up, Tamina Lin. Its time to have an adventure. You sit up groggily. Its too hot here, too noisy. The sheets are filthy. It sucks being poor. At least in this Sphere you might get a random windfall. Or eaten by a sea monster on dry land. You kick off the sheets and dont even bother putting on a top as you walk outside, onto the rocky balcony. Its not like anyone cares about nudity here, anyway. Bodies are sacred. You look up at the sky. You see the shadows of dragons fighting against the...

Forge of StonesChapter 2

Darkly lit night The Disciplinarium's large audience hall was exquisitely decorated with fine tapestries, hung from the columns and walls with golden ropes and aggrandized with silk laces, freshly picked fragrant flowers and all manners of decorations that go hand in hand with highly luxurious pomp and ceremony. Though night had already fallen, giant ornate silver and brass chandeliers hung from the high ceilings illuminating the grand hall with the light from thousands of candles. Their...

Forge of StonesChapter 3

The Marble Road was hunting time for the owls, the wild dogs and the wengals. He sat down on the cold, humid grass with his legs crossed and a walking stick on his left shoulder. He rummaged through his ever lightening knapsack for something to eat. With little fuss, he managed to come up with a meager meal: worrain berries and a piece of goat's cheese, still fresh and spongy. He tried to feed as much on the land as possible, keeping most of his food supplies for the difficult part of his...

Forge of StonesChapter 4

Under a livid sky When they had eaten and after Amonas conferred with Philo, the burly man said he would be back soon. Hilderich had relaxed somewhat, but he could not for the life of him fathom the two men. It might be just as well, he thought. He wanted to believe that when he had seen whatever it was they wanted to show him, perhaps they would stick true to their word and release him, let go of him and consider him a friend. The chances though, were slim. He wasn't sure exactly how a...

Forge of StonesChapter 6

"We will get back." "Well that's what you keep saying. Is it that difficult to accept the fact that we are now, thanks to your efforts, terminally lost?" Hilderich was picking ineffectually at the withering bark of a large oak-like tree. The tree was slowly turning into ash, returning into the dirt one very small piece at a time. Hilderich was quite fascinated by what he was seeing all around him and that was probably why he had not broken down in hysterical cries since their...

Forge of StonesChapter 7

The suns seemed to have risen earlier on that particular day or at least the Castigator's people definitely had. At every level of office and hierarchy, the living mechanisms of the Ministry, the Army and the Procrastinators were of a singular mind and purpose: The Castigator had announced that in two weeks time the wrathful military might of the Outer Territories would be ready to march for war, the likes of which had not happened in the past 25 years. In every single office and chamber of...

Forge of StonesChapter 8

The previous night's walk had exhausted him. He had laid down to sleep right after dawn with sore feet. His legs were leaden with the weight of all the distance traveled so far. It was indeed a long journey from the western lands, from Nicodemea south through the great farmlands of Rubnis. Then he had crossed the great river Shielwa onto the rough country of Ilonas, the shepherd country. It was a land filled with animals, hill and rock where few hardy men lived. This was where the marble...

Forge of StonesChapter 9

"A soldier can serve the Gods, the Council, and the people in one of two important ways: that is, he can either be dead or alive, but he will still serve. A soldier might choose either but one of the two has proved extremely popular, and for good reason. As a soldier myself with as much experience as any can hope to amass over the years, I can only share with you a rough guideline on how to live long enough to write your own manual: Avoid the meaningless battles, and especially...

Forge of StonesChapter 10

Hilderich had finally slept, his protestations about the lack of a night sky silently put aside when his fatigue took over and the anxiety and nervousness subsided after their thirst had been quenched; when the warm, tasty meal of mushrooms sat comfortably in their bellies. He was snoring heavily and though it would have normally been less than a pleasant sound, under the circumstances it was mildly comforting. It let Amonas know that not everything was amiss, that some things were still...

Forge of StonesChapter 11

He had woken as early as every day, giving thanks to God for allowing him to live and breathe once more and greeted the suns as they rose with a hearty smile. His hair was as always tousled, gently swayed by the light breeze rushing down from the mountains and onto the plains that filled his entire view. Once more he had used his walking stone to guide him and before noon had passed he had entered the Land of God proper. He had been warned to be wary of these lands, for not everything that...

Forge of StonesChapter 12

Sleep never came that night to her, and her tears flowed freely. She stifled the worst of the sobs and moans that welled up from her insides, but still she wept. Come morning her face was that of a sad older woman, with eyelids swollen from the crying and the sleeplessness. She felt horrible and the child within her seemed equally disturbed. How could it not be, if its mother was in such a terrible state? She had left her windows closed, the drapes and curtains tightly drawn shut. She cared...

Forge of StonesChapter 14

"At such a point in time, knowing all that has transpired and has been revealed to me, I cannot honestly say I clearly know where my allegiances lie. I can only hope that a clear mind and perhaps some sort of sign will push me over to make the right decision. What passes for right though these days, is making less and less sense." - Lord Ursempyre Remis, Letters, Vol. IV p .221 He woke up feeling refreshed. He sat up and flexed his arms and legs, all the time his gaze towards the...

Forge of StonesChapter 15

The corridors of the Disciplinarium were enigmatically silent. Lord Ursempyre Remis was being escorted by a pair of procrastinators at the behest of the Patriarch himself, he had been told. The mere thought of that man made him uneasy, and now he had been summoned personally. His mind raced with conjecture and the possible reasons: none seemed even remotely harmless. As his steps echoed in the stone floor of the hallways that never seemed to end, he thought he had a pretty good idea of the...

Forge of StonesChapter 16

A tall bleak man in a uniform approached a couple of soldiers that were standing over a fire. A kettle on top was brewing something with an uncharacteristic, though quite off-putting smell. They were sitting on some sacks laden with what must have been rice or wheat and having a smoke, sharing a pipe of what one knowledgeable in the art of uwe smoking could make out to be stale uwe. They were unaware of the tall man coming their way with their backs turned to him. They were admiring the ships...

Forge of StonesChapter 17

"I believe I have gathered conclusive evidence as to the function of the various artifacts known as keystones. In fact, it can be safely proven by virtue of experimentation that these are in fact devices of a highly evolved civilization from an ancient past that perished long ago, leaving in its wake nothing but seemingly nondescript memorabilia as the remains of a monumental metropolis located in the Widelands. I can honestly say that such an unprecedented work as I am engaged in currently,...

Forge of StonesChapter 19

General Tyrpledge was riding his horse making an inspection of the City walls from a safe distance, his personal guard along with his adjutant following him from a respectful but close distance. He still could not believe he had been tasked with the sacking of Pyr, and if it came to that, its razing. The Castigator had been blunt in his orders and frugal in his explanations. He had told him that the Patriarch was in league with a cluster of rebellious religious fanatics that wished for total...

Forge of StonesChapter 20

The first sense to return to Hilderich was smell. He could make out the distinct sharpness of metal lingering on his nostrils. He sniffed some more air and felt its freshness enter his lungs. His breath was easy now. He opened his eyes and his sight adjusted to the ambient dim light. He felt his ribs with a hand and could feel no pain. It seemed like what had transpired seemingly moments before was not a dream. He was feeling fine; his broken ribs seemed to have mended miraculously. He saw...

Forge of StonesChapter 23

Flares of light flickered on and off, casting monstrous shadows on the sleek gray metal floor. Huge sparks seemed to fly from unfathomable contraptions that seemed to be hard at work, showering the improbably high walls with fiery fragments. Light was at a premium, its sources the by-products of the industrious machines: sparks like lightning, hot rivers of metal, red and yellow fires and blue-hot flames; green and violet beams of light against stark gray metals, the mirror sheens of gleaming...

Forge of StonesChapter 24

"Dear Celia, such are the ways of things from what I know and what I can gather. I do not expect you to believe me outright but neither should you attribute what I've said to old age or think them to be the sayings of a madman. What I have told you is the truth, the way of things behind the veil that has been put in front of your eyes. I have seen countless sunsets, I have walked over sand and snow, traversed the mountains and journeyed across the Great Sea. I've loved this world dearly...

Forge of StonesChapter 25

The interior of the ship felt like a mansion: fine tapestries lined the wooden walls and thick handwoven carpets adorned the floors. Most of it was decorated in the same fashion, with the engines and the assorted support mechanisms and infrastructure taking up little space. According to the Prosops it was a refurbished luxury yacht. The whole den back on the Centron had actually been a shipyard, something of a hobby the Centron had taken up to spent his endless time and unlimited resources,...

The Light Behind The WorldChapter 26 Forge

According to the oft-quoted (in my house at least) Great, Great Grandpa Arlington McKesson, time and knowledge are treasures no man should ignore. The many sessions I'd spent with Construct in the last year and a half had given me a greater understanding of Construct and his situation, and the challenge it presented me. The guardians who saved us all had established protections which shielded those sensitive to the Light from the corrupted Focus, and its reversed energies. Right now that...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 7 Taking Tess

Signifer Tess called me into her office. Through sleep learning I had mastered the Confederacy rank systems. It's hard to explain to civilians, but the Confederacy Navy and Marines had a chain of command—and that was separate from Fleet Auxiliary and from the Civil Service. A Signifer was equal to an O-1 in the Navy, an ensign, but didn't command naval personnel. Fleet Auxiliary and Civil Service were under military discipline but not in the Navy command chain. As an O-2 lieutenant I was...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 3 Operation Early Bird

It began with horses. Marty Peabody had been a cowboy when he was younger—a real one. He was now the president of a mechanics union—but he had a miniature ranch with a small horse herd and several big dogs. I drove up to the house and was mobbed by the dogs. "Hello!" I shouted over the dogs. "I'm Tom and I'm expected. Will you take me to Marty?" Usually it is a bad idea to get out of a car when there are big, protective dogs around. I guessed that it was safe and got out of my...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 9 Tess Educates

Tess and I were cuddled together in the afterglow of sex. I had returned from a forty-hour mission on Earth picking up some artifacts and an experienced dog handler—a medically-retired Air Force woman. The Air Force can't use anybody minus both legs, one arm and most of her face. Tech Sergeant Candice "Candi" Crossman was in medical being rebuilt. I was staving off neo-adrenaline backlash and forty-four hours of fatigue—I had been on the go without sleep for two days. I had been making...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 13 Picking Up Space Trash

Messenger of the Gods was a utilitarian shuttle about the size of an old Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar fuselage (R4Q to naval historians). Just the pod—no wings, no booms, no tail. I guess I thought of that because of my work scanning the artifacts at the Hill Aerospace Museum in Utah. The old Flying Boxcar was designed to haul cargo—and rated for 65 troops. Messenger of the Gods could only handle about a third of that—and then the troops had to be very friendly and the mission of limited...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 18 Broken but Nice

The sleep learner cycle came to an emergency stop—and the cover opened. What a nightmare! I guess I was going to live, but I didn't feel like slumbering any more. I was tired, but sleep would have returned me to the nightmare. I was in my quarters. I had privacy if nobody wandered in. Access was by transporter pad only—no doors. Call it a tomb rather than a crib. "Now's a good time for a banana split," I said as I staggered away from the sleep learner in the office area. I had a "bed...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 20 Teach Is a Dirty Word

The Events Area was 200 meters by 200 meters—four hectares. It was used for sports, for plays, for drill and ceremonies and for simulated combat. The Events Area could morph into whatever we needed. At the moment there was a raised stage and seating for all the station's concubines in one area, with sections for most of the station's sponsors. The DECO CMC detachment was in a three-rank formation with Ensign Williams, the detachment commander, in front. The governor, Lilith, was in a box...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 22 Drink GichiGami

The difficult part of being mission support is the waiting around. Ensign Antonio Williams wasn't going to learn if he didn't lead. Now two squads of DECO Marines were on the surface for the purpose of capturing the culprits who had abducted Tony Williams from a New York jail. The targets of the Williams' raid were aboard a private yacht cruising Lake Superior—Gichi-gami to the Ojibwe. My part of the raid was diversionary. Imagine that a man, his lion and his wolf are walking down a back...

Loop is an event venue, a club, of the highest standards. A large, three story building with many rooms. Elegant. Your last chapter must link to another chapter. This story will never end. The champagne was flowing. The caviar pilled high. She was standing against the wall. Black hair, the whitest of skin, reddest of lips. The black dress barely covered her. Fabric over her left shoulder and ended well above her knees. Shoes - very high heels, stilettos. ......... Are you male or female?

Lake Loop

When I was 36 I took a temporary assignment (8-12 weeks) outside of Midwest city to open a new business development office. The firm put me in an extended stay hotel / condo. It was late July. After the first couple of days, my routine became fairly boring – work, go exercise room and order fast food or go out for fast meal, sleep. Weekends were more boring since I was not into the bar scene. Did some tourist things but I was generally bored. Three weeks into the assignment, I am going crazy...

The Passing Loop

I had been travelling westwards for two days since leaving Moscow. The train had passed over the border into Germany, and in two days more I should be in Paris. It was not a particularly fast train, stopping every now and then, sometimes, it seemed, in the middle of fields, miles from anywhere. At the last stop, a family had joined me in the compartment — husband, wife, boy, youth, and young woman. The train had entered a long stretch of single track. The speed limit on the old rails was a...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 4 The People of the Jaguar

Two weeks of intensive physical conditioning with nights spent in sleep learners prepared me for a non-standard extraction in South America, somewhere in the Amazon basin. "Your mission, like it or not," smirked the operations officer, "is collecting an isolated group of people living in the Amazon rain forest." It seems that our esteemed colleges from the stars bought the hype that stone age tribes were 'gentle' and 'non-violent.' I expressed my reservations to multiple Artificial...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 5 Space Rock

My last mission failed. I wasn't a happy camper, and wasn't viewing my world objectively. I was supposed to bring 123 humans with me--the People of the Jaguar. I failed to communicate clearly--and 122 poisoned themselves with a home-made brew that I translated as Sacred Swill. Only Dawn survived--and she brought Spots, a jaguar--a pregnant jaguar. The language barrier was a problem. "You are certainly chipper!" Tess observed. "Sarcasm, ma'am?" I responded. Tess laughed. "I don't...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 6 Replication

Take Interstate 15 north from Salt Lake City and just before reaching Ogden, use Exit 338 and go east, towards the mountains. Just before the checkpoint at the Hill Air Force Base truck entrance, go left. That's the Hill Aerospace Museum. I was there as part of TEG (Targeted Extraction Group) for two reasons. The operating hours are from nine to four-thirty, but I was told to arrive early. Hubris is defined as excessive pride and "defiance of the gods." For us unwashed non-believers,...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 8 Horsing Around

Waking up hung over is no fun. I had been there before—a stinger hangover. Stingers have an unfortunate side effect on me—amnesia. I forget the immediate past prior to being zapped. I've timed it because I'm that sort of guy—I forget both being zapped and between 20 and 45 minutes prior to being hit with the stinger's ray. The aftermath, however, is pure misery—and yes I did time that too—with medical tube intervention I'm only miserable for about 90 minutes. Those are LONG...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 10 Ghosts

What you take out of Africa depends upon your attitude. I returned with a few scratches and an albino lion cub. He was perhaps a year old and was curled up next to a dead lioness when I found him. "Mission accomplished," I announced. "Unless you come up with a better name, I'm calling this little fellow Kimba." "Put him in the med tube," Mary sighed. "I guess you could have brought an elephant with you." Normally my After Action Report (AAR) was done in a sleep learner. I could...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 12 Five Golden Swords

When I woke up from the sleep learner my mind was filled with the Twelve Days of Christmas. You might have experienced how that song sticks in the mind. My own fault entirely. I had taken those people who were in sleep learners or medical tubes along on a Christmas trip to a virtual edition of Disneyland. Were you aware that "it's a small world" adds "Jingle Bells" and "Deck the Halls?" I made a mistake and put the "12 Days of Christmas" sound track—hey, a version of that is at the...

Pickup Loop HoleChapter 15 Fenton the Goul

A pair of cheetah muzzles nuzzling my face woke me. For a moment I didn't know where I was. It was peaceful. Flash and Dash were sisters. I knew their names. I knew their stories. Born in captivity, they were habituated to humans—not at all like that cheetah mauling a bicyclist near an African game preserve. "Hi, girls," I said. "What's the news?" "Promoted," a voice said. It took me a moment to recognize Lilith. "They are my honor guard now." "What did the dogs have to say...
