Normally anything that needed discussion could have been handled quicker, and in its opinion better thru the mind linkages, but in this instance, and in other instances where important decisions were required, the tradition among the Mo-aC was to hold a person to person meeting. So here they were now gathered in one room for the first time in many years, as it noted its two assistants were waiting for it to arrive, as well as the head of Space Sciences Nan-etiR and its two assistants, and as well the military commander of the rather large military base, that had been set up here even before the science divisions had been established here. Bo-kiluK who was at that moment being accompanied by its two subcommanders, was the first to take its place on its pedestal, then it was Nan-etiR's turn to assume its position upon its pedestal then it was finally its turn to assume its post, which it did by using its anchoring tendrils to affix itself to its designated spot of honor, facing its two counterparts as the leader of its division. The first to present its findings (as was the custom) was Nan-etiR, who being the least senior of the three was by tradition the first to proceed. Basically what it presented was a rehash of the report it delivered some ninety years ago, when after the last of the sublight probes sent out to gather data about the scale of the problem confirmed what had been previously summarized, that an area some 40 x 90 x167 thousand light years had been so weakened by the use of antigravity weapons, that even a moderate disturbance in this area of space would be more than enough to unleash a TimeQuake that could well devastate half the galaxy! Next to present its findings was the commander, who mercifully had more recent and more interesting data to relate to them concerning the Hu-Mans (as they called themselves). Bo-kiluK then went on to introduce the findings of it intelligence gathering efforts, which showed among other things intercepts (from the primitive communication devices they used and thought to be unreadable) concerning the progress of the Major Tribal States military in it efforts to develop an antimatter weapon, and as well as their efforts to develop a nuclear powered space vehicle to deliver them. Also it then outlined a new conflict between the Hu-Man Tribal States, which recently erupted in a place the Hu-Mans called Iran, which was notable not for the curious banding together of of Tribal States in order to kill each other which still fascinated them, but for the fact that for the first time in many years of observation sixteen primitive fission weapons had been detonated on that area of the planets largest cities, the first such since the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which was to say the least a troubling development. It then finished off its report with its recommendation that a recent space probe, that had been launched by the Hu-Mans, and that was heading for Pluto be partially disabled, as it would be interfering with the production of a major mining operation now ongoing there that would not be completed by the time of the probes arrival. Then it was its turn to present its summary of current events, which it did as it started from the time some five hundred years ago when the last plague had triggered a scientific explosion among the Hu-Mans that in its opinion, and that of its colleagues has now far outstripped their capacity to sanely control. Also it presented the most recent experiments that had been preformed on the 27 colonies of cloned humans, that they had set up on NeTar-4 (which simulated planet three closely), in order to observe to see if things such as if this area of space had any effects on their behavior and so on. Then it was finished, which finally opened up the topic that had drawn them together, namely what to do to arrest the Hu-Mans technological development until their reasoning capacity caught up with their technology. Predictably Space Science remained mute (as it was outside its field) which left it up between the Life Science and Military to propose solutions! Eventually it came down (after multiple proforma votes on proposals) to its own solution, that got a unanimous vote of approval, which was based on extensive and still ongoing experiments to see if the Hu-Mans could/would one day be able to use the cybernetic mind linkages. Basically what was going to be done was that a series of Self Replicating Nano Viruses were going to be released into the planets atmosphere, which would then attach themselves to the key brains centers that dealt with communication. In the case of the more unstable males, the final result would be to allow the continuous open broadcast of all surface thoughts, and in the case of the more stable females the change would result in the ability to allow them to read any males thoughts that came within a hundred foot radius of them. The two great advantages in pursuing this course of action were that in the short term the resulting confusion would arrest scientific progress for decades, and in the longterm it was oped that it would bring more stability to a society racked by constant warfare, which was it was observed mostly perpetrated by the male! Seeing no reason to delay now that it had formal approval, it instructed its two assistants to oversee the projects immedeiate implimentation, and to keep it informed of any problems,so with that now done it once again made its way back to the observation bubble where it then spent the next two days in contemplation as to whether it did the right thing. To be continued... [ Authors Note: Some of you noticed that part two looks like its missing some paragraphs. Well it is as somehow three and a half paragraphs went missing on me and I don't know how it happened! So as a result I had to include a part three of prologue in order to fix the problems caused by the missing text.] http://community.webtv.net/Adam1076/StoryArchiveAFamily -- Pursuant to the Berne Convention, this work is copyright with all rights reserved by its author unless explicitly indicated. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | alt.sex.stories.moderated ----- send stories to: <ckought69@hotmail.com> | | FAQ: <http://assm.asstr-mirror.org/faq.html> Moderator: <story-ckought69@hotmail.com> | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Archive: <http://assm.asstr-mirror.org> Hosted by Alt.Sex.Stories Text Repository | |<http://www.asstr-mirror.org>, an entity supported entirely by donations. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
