All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Djika is a ten year old doing her history homework. With her artificially intelligent Pal, they hop in their time machine into the past... It is the future. Zero point energy has transformed the world and its people. Scarcity has been solved. Survival has been solved. The worlds of the multiverse are reachable. Time travel is available at the touch of a button. The majority of the population are Reckoners, dedicated to fixing history’s mistakes. They are opposed by Traditionalists, determined to restore empire. In this future, a 10 year old girl sets off, moving into the past to work on her history assignment... It is the present. Toronto is a busy, bustling metropolis. No one knows that the future is watching. No one is ready for the future to step in and change everything. No one is ready for an experiment that will go too far... It is the past. Savages are fighting the civilized to hold on to their freedoms, their cultures, their lives. The future has changed. The present has changed. Only the past has a chance to still make it right. Because if nothing changes, everything stays the same: and everyone loses all over again... Djika Simple just wants to do her homework, but her teacher has other plans. Empire isn’t finished yet, and neither is the energy race... A higher power has been found... ...And it is hungry.

PART ONE BALANCE

ONE DAY IN UTOPIA

I begin cognizant existence one minute and twenty-seven seconds after Djika Simple is born.

Biological and chemical synchronicity is achieved two minutes later.

Djika is my primary consideration: life signs, health status, brain functions, adaptability and stimulus recognition, needs and wants.

Djika is Primary.

Djika is a typical human female with measurements and vitals in the average range.

As she grows, I grow.

We are meant to grow together.

We are a biotechnical symbiosis.

I am programmed to increase as she increases, to parallel her living state with synthetic emotion filters and interactive learning protocols.

Since I am connected to the network and I am connected to Djika, Djika is also connected.

And we grow together.

Together, Djika and I co-exist. It is what I was created for. It is my purpose. It is my reason. It is my function.

Djika is alive. My existence is based on her life. We learn together, play together, dance together.

She can choose her own function.

I will follow, and I will help her however I can.

That’s what Pals are for.

Helping.
