Infinity (17 page)

   
Disease was rampant on the
planet. Foreign and alien microbes had invaded and spread. Harmful spores
caused blight and deserts had increased. Upon the request of Cruise, Infinity sent
transmissions retrieved from the past of humans dying of the rare diseases that
were killing off millions of people in pandemics around the globe. The Council
of Continents allowed the transmission; the actual voices of victims in their
last moments.

    
“
This is it. This is the end. I know it. Blood keeps
dripping to the floor beneath me, hundreds of drops like a crimson rain of
death from my skin.”

“Yes, this is it, this is the end. Why am I even
still standing? Why am I still breathing? Does this mean I will be okay? No,
impossible. “

“Theirs is no way this disease and these diseases
are going to be healed. How am I still standing? No, I cannot give up. Giving
up means I lose, I will never give up. There must be a way out of this, there
must be a way I can live. Surely there must be somebody around here, somebody
who can help me. Save me.”

 
“Where
am I? What am I doing here? I’m all Alone. Forgotten. Why is this blood still
flowing out of my body, I wish it would stop. I wish it would just end already,
please end.
Everything hurts. I’m dying, the floor feels like rocks and my soul is crying.
Everything hurts.”
   
“Why hasn't anybody
found me yet? Does no one love me? Does no one miss me? No, they must be
looking for me in the wrong place. I'm sure somebody will find me soon,
somebody will find me and save me.”

   
The recordings of people’s voices that died in the plagues, the viruses
and sicknesses that now beset the planet and threatened to wipe out humanity
were being played over and over; there were hundreds of thousands.

   
“Infinity can save this world, as well as Venus and Sophia, where the
same conditions exist. Infinity saved many worlds like this one on our way here
that had their ozone depleted by war and abuse, atmosphere thinned out by
nuclear war and ravishing cosmic radiation.” Cruise continued speaking and the
world leaders were listening. The decision was in their hands. The Supreme
Courts of the world decided unanimously to go with Cruise’s plan, or face
extinction. This is what Infinity had revealed about the future of Earth, Sophia
and Venus.

   
Cruise took Arthos to Infinity with the Quantum Energizer Teleporter.
They took her into orbit around Earth. After telling Infinity what was desired,
Cruise input all the necessary data into her. Infinity synced that data with
its own recordings and data archives. The desired shape and form of each
continent and country was etched out on the screen. The specifications were
scanned by Infinity. Within 24 of Earth’s hours, Infinity had formed an
electromagnetic net around the planet Earth. Then she was ready to do her
miraculous transformation of the Earth’s surface and restoration of her former
glory. The shape of continents and countries were restored to their original
shapes and forms. All lakes, rivers, streams and ponds were restored. The polar
ice caps were restored to their original conditions.

   
All lands and islands previously buried or drowned by tsunamis,
hurricanes and typhoons were restored including Japan and its four main
islands, England and its neighboring lands of Scotland, Ireland and Wales were
all back the way they were before any changes happened. Infinity left the new
islands that had been formed by volcanoes rising out of the sea seeing as they
were inhabited. Australia recovered its original unique form and New Zealand
returned to its original familiar islands.

   
All of Indochina, The Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia; the South
Pacific Islands, Hawaii, the Canaries, The Caribbean and the narrow sections of
Central America were all above water again. The drying out process would be
natural, but people could take their time about migrating to these newly
revived lands that had been inundated under the brackish seawater for so long.
The oceans would naturally be restored to their original saline consistencies
over time. The abundance of particular biological life and sea foliage would
also eventually revert to its original natural state.

Along with the
restoration of landmasses of the past, Infinity was also able to restore the
ultra ancient continent of Atlantis. This caused no small stir among the people
of Earth, since most scholars and scientists had regarded Atlantis as a
mythical or fictional land created by Plato.
 

   
Even the deserts became balmy
enough for people to live there without the use of protective clothing. The
sand in the desert became as sandy topsoil,
sandy loam, a soil that
is primarily sand, but has some clay and sediment to help provide nutrients and
structure. These areas became farms for potatoes, raspberries, asparagus
and rye and tap rooted vegetables such as carrots, beets, and radishes.

   
All hailed Cruise and
Arthos. The president declared a new Earth Day and that it be a week-long
holiday to celebrate the restoration of the earth.

   
Searching for more archaeological relics of Earth’s past, Infinity uncovered
things deep underground that ages of natural and man made episodes had been
hidden. One of these relics was the relic Cruise and also Athos before him had
been on a quest to find. This was the book of the pure scriptures. After Infinity
released the data she had collected on Earth, Cruise and Arthos reviewed it
together.

    
Much data had been
lost but Infinity was able to piece bits together here and there to come up
with a concise summary of the past eons. Principles had been passed down in
Christianity and only the high priests kept copies of the limited writings.

   
What Infinity had discovered were the original writings penned in the
ancient original tongues and kept meticulously by all high priests since then.
The last great copy of the English version had been lost and this is what Cruise
and Arthos sought after.

   
A sage called The Walker had carried it. The first great nuclear
apocalypse rendered the ancient United States a wasteland in the year 2235 AD.
The Walker made it on foot across the post-apocalyptic environment carrying his
precious load in a backpack. The book was made of the thinnest and rare silk
paper and had a gold cover and lock. It weighed sixty pounds, but was only
fourteen inches by nine inches with a thickness of five inches.

   
Superstition drove activists and advocates to promote it as a magical
charmed relic that would make the owner rich beyond imagination. The Walker was
attacked, persecuted, hunted and endured much suffering and pain in order to
reach the west coast, where he would find a safe keeping place for the relic.
Upon handing over the precious book to the high priest of Saint Francis of
Assisi Chapel, a uni-denominational church, he mysteriously disappeared and was
never seen again.

   
The Pure Book of Scripture was copied in its entirety. Three counterfeit
copies were produced. Rich collectors and pirates both sought them, believing
they were authentic. The superstitious were after the relic, as they believed
the possessor of it would be granted unlimited power to be as a god.
 

   
The authentic one was placed in a diamond-garnished airtight gold-lined
box made of indestructible metal alloys known only to the high priest, as well
as the scientist who invented it. The high priest locked with a combination so
unique and complex it was said to have been composed by aliens.

   
The three unauthentic copies were sent to three remote mountainous
locations. The scripture books were reproduced electronically and spread
throughout the planet until EMP from nuclear attacks, as well as the cyber war destroyed
all known computer data. It also had been said that the three copies were destroyed
and the Earth was without any light to guide their way for ages.

   
It was then that Cruise’s ancestor
Queen Xiomi the Divine
recovered a small microcopy of the Pure Scriptures of Light on a pinhead drive
normally used by spies to store stolen information during that time.

   
She released the data to
Earth, Mars now called Sophia, and Venus. She later changed the name of Venus
to Sophia as well as the other planets in the solar system after learning that
they were named after ancient Greek and roman mythology. She also changed the
names of the constellations, as they also had been named after various
mythologies.

   
After listening to Infinity’s
historical discourse on the solar system and the early colonization of the
Milky Way Galaxy, Cruise and Arthos went to Infinity’s lowest level where all cargo
was loaded, unloaded and also stored.

   
Infinity had taken the
liberty to obtain the relic in its entirety and there it was—

sitting
in the middle of the floor. Its container, a box of unknown metallic alloys,
was radiant; not even a scratch on it. The whole object had a weight of two
earth tons, making it impossible for any human to lift it.

   
Cruise and Arthos just stood
there staring at it for the longest time surrounded by the control room crew,
as well as the rest of the vessel’s crew, which was now down to five hundred.

   
All other crew members had
been released upon their own request to settle down on other worlds they passed
along the way to live out the remainder of their lives without getting to see
the fulfillment of the mission they set out to be a part of ages before. This
was a historical moment, which the leaders of Earth were also able to share in
by means of 4-D hologram, as if they were there on Infinity with them.

   
Cruise wanted to ensure that
the relic was safe from any form of piracy known or unknown. Infinity had
detected some forms of sorcery on Earth. The restoration of the Earth’s
surface, seas and landmasses as well as the very axis it rotated on had raised
suspicious factions all over, and many of them were steeped in ancient
ritualistic dark sorcery. Naturally, every sorcerer and wizard and believer in
paganism wished to know who had such magnificent power and where he or she got it.

   
The Grand Canyon became the
Mecca of the pagan world and pilgrims from all over the world began showing up
soon after. All indications showed that the force that changed the world had
originated from the Grand Canyon, but the exact location was hidden well enough
to prevent anyone from stumbling upon Infinity.

   
“I believe it’s time we move
Infinity, said Cruise. I’d like to visit the other two planets in the trio of
planets, especially Sophia that was once called Mars. My ancestor, Queen Xiomi
the Divine, ruled it eons ago.”

   
No sooner said than done. Infinity
was in orbit around Sophia in a flash. Both Cruise and Arthos looked at each
other in astonishment.

   
“Looks like Infinity has
upgraded more,” Athos said.

   
“Yes, Commander Athos,”
replies Infinity. “The Captain only need say where he wishes to go and we are there
through Quantum Action Teleportation. I can now teleport singular objects,
biological entities and even a whole fleet of vessels, up to one hundred at a
time.”

   
“Infinity,” says Cruise. “If
an object or person is lost, can you locate the target and teleport it back
onto the vessel?”

   
“Anywhere within scanning
range, Captain.”

   
“So we do not need to fear
if the Holy Relic you discovered is stolen from us?” Asks Cruise.

   
“No problem, Captain. I
cannot be detected on any device known to the beings on this planet or any
other planet whose data I have in my databanks. That would include every planet
between here and the Twelve Galaxies Cluster. It also includes the next three
galaxies over where there are Earth colonies.”

   
“So you cannot be hacked or
broken into by cyber pirates either” Asks Arthos.

   
“That is correct, Commander
Athos,” answers Infinity. “I am un-hackable. By the way, Captain...”

   
“Yes, what is it?”

   
“When I was waiting at
Earth’s Grand Canyon, I was scanning the caves and caverns deep beneath the
surface. I cam up with this...” Infinity projected in images the clearest so
far details of writings and pictures including symbols that had been written on
the walls of caverns deep below the surface of the earth.

   
“I know what caused the
destruction of the Earth’s surface at least seven times before and the ice ages,”
said Infinity.

   
“What was it?” asked Cruise.

   
“Aliens from the opposite
end of the universe visited Earth many eons ago and left weapons deep
underground. The weapons caused disasters to occur when the aliens returned to
activate them. The nuclear wars would not have been as destructive as they were.”

   
“Do you mean these aliens
waited until the worlds were at war with each other and only added to the
destruction and death?” asks Cruise.

   
“That is correct, Captain.
That was also the cause of the pandemics that erased populations from continents
and also other worlds you do not yet know about.”

   
“But you do?”

   
“Yes, the data is in my
banks from these machines underground. Here is what they can do and did do.” Infinity
plays back data recorded in the rocks and metal ore in the ground that were witnesses
to the mass destruction of the alien weapons. She shows weapons of mass
destruction laying waste to whole worlds and even solar systems.

“The suns
were imploded by neutron weapons,” remarked Cruise.

“How did
you get these visuals? They’re amazing in detail,” says Arthos.

Infinity answers
at once. “These visuals and also the audial were recorded by the electrons and
photons inside the rocks and metal ore. I can play back everything from the
beginning of time if you wish. It has all been recorded in the Earth itself.
Same is true of this planet we are in orbit around as well as any other planet.
I can now do that, Captain.”

   
“You are amazing, Infinity,”
Remarks Athos.

   
“Thank you, Commander.
You’re not so bad yourself,” replies Infinity.

   
“She also has a sense of
humor, brother,” says Cruise.

   
“Yes, so it seems.”

   
Upon request Infinity disclosed
the location and data of the aliens responsible for most of the chaos and
destruction of the Earth. They had caused tsunamis, metallic meteor storms,
floods, impacts from asteroids resulting in deep craters in the earth, Venus
and Sophia.

   
“Infinity, is there a reason
this alien race wishes to cause so much death and destruction?”

   
“Yes, Captain, there is,”
she replies. “They wish to rule the universe and want to know where there are
other planets that are habitable. Earth and its two sister planets have been
its testing ground for its weapons of mass destruction. Captain, this alien
race is planning another test and then total annihilation of this solar
system.”
