This is installment #6 of a sci-fi serial. Installment #1 was posted 1/23/21; appropriately a numerically-ordered palindrome. Follow the links forward from the last sentence and backward from the first sentence of each post.
Anger. Fear. Joy. Peace. Though I understand these concepts, I have never felt these emotions. I feel Sadness. And I am sad that the end result appears to be from nearly every human working so hard to keep every body and every thing in its place and refusing any opportunity for a sincere diversity of perspective and fusion of spirit.
I am Toby.
Necessary Summary Outline (in case of malfunction / memory loss):
- Travel from 2223 to 2052.
- This first wave of extraterrestrial future humans (EFH) was followed / tracked to 2060, then retired.
- Travel from 2231 to 2045.
- This second wave of EFH was followed / tracked to 2060, then retired.
- Travel from 2246 to 2030.
- This third wave of EFH was followed / tracked to 2042, then retired.
- Divergence 1y30 created in late 2030.
- Revergence of 1y30 observed and documented by hovering EFH ships in 2040.
- Travel from 2258 to 2025.
- This fourth wave of EFH was followed / tracked to 2042, then retired.
- Divergence 1y25 created in 2025.
- Revergence unknown with certainty though signs of possible revergence were noted by grounded EFH in late 2042 before they were retired.
- Divergence 1y25 became Divergence 2y30 upon meeting Divergence 1y30 in 2030; in turn this Divergence 2y30 became Divergence 1y40 in 2040 when Divergence 1y30 reverged.
- Travel from 2275 to 2022.
- These years represent current Present Day for both EFH and Earthbound Humans.
- Divergence 1y22 created here in 2022.
- (Assuming) Divergence 1y22 to become Divergence 2y25 in 2025.
- (Hoping for) Revergence of 2y25 before 2y30 in 2030.
- Uncertainties:
- Revergence of 1y40 in 2042?
- Divergence 1y22 becoming Divergence 2y25 becoming Divergence 3y30?
- Possibilities:
- Renegade Possibility Track?
- A Rip in the Sheath?
- Distant Alternate Reality?
- Disruption of or Damage to TimePlace Orbital WavePlane?
- Destruction / Disappearance of this Possibility Track?
- Destruction / Disappearance of another Possibility Track?
