—ONE RACE, ONE GALAXY, ONE ELECTRIC SOCIETY—

         As the bell tone faded the student body took to their assigned seats and the sleek ovoid android cradled in its surveillance dock beeped twice before hovering out in front of the button board to begin Interstellar History class in the time-spot of XXX. It announced, “Okay, class, before we begin our studies today, everyone log-in to your Ethernet ∞ terminal,” as it hovered up and down the aisle, registering the cerebral status of each student. The overhead light accented its sensual curves.

         “Good,” exclaimed the android teacher. “My internal displays indicate everybody has logged-in successfully.” It paced slowly back and forth in front of the button board as it said, “Today we are going to study the toddler years of the Electric Society, and how the God Forsaken War ended. But first, let’s begin our study at the very beginning of Humanoid history on Earth. This will help you to understand how the natural element of electricity changed those darling creatures for the better.” The nitid android hovered over to its security dock, holstered itself, then beeped twice, and Ethernet ∞ began streaming the lecture directly into the kids brain’s, replenishing energy source’s, and memory unit’s about a time and place few knew about.

-(Beginning Transmission)-

         :0-0-0: The planet Earth, throughout its cosmic history, has witnessed many a changes; many small and many great. One great one for instance is known as the Humanoidious Bacterium. Once spawned, the Humanoidious Bacterium intrinsically found fire in the open wilderness. Then they invented the wheel, possibly around the same time they discovered fire.... Being the instinctively smart creatures they are, the Humanoids, or  “humans” for short, decided to adopt both fire and the wheel as tools. They used the wheel for transportation and fire for warmth. In due time, humans even learned that fire can be used to heat food and boil water, which proved as revolutionary as it sounds! Yet, it was the combination of fire, water, and the wheel that led to steam, compression, and, indirectly to, electronics; leading humanity to rediscover the macro by way of the micro.

         “Praise be given to the elemental artisans of the Electric Society.”

         Study of esoteric history reveals how civilization after civilization fell prey to their spiritual and scientific ideologies. Creative forces enchanted each successive civilization with arcane philosophies and fantasized prophecies. But the philosophy of capturing lightning, the ultimate fire, and harnessing it, is what caused each civilization to mysteriously disappear at the height of their creativity.

         :1-5-2417: The electrical threshold of planet Earth was discovered much to the dismay of team E-Fishiency – the World Energy Grid Research Group – and the rest of world at large. When the Earth’s electrical threshold was accidently rediscovered, its axis shifted unexpectedly. Oceans collided. Tectonic plates bucked and crumbled. The Earth reversed its rotation, then its revolution around the sun. Lastly, the Earth’s magnetic poles inversed! Armageddon had finally visited the Earth, closing the Eighth World. Victims aside, humanity had survived. And, in 3008, humans studying this catastrophic event found that it happened in accordance to the interstellar bio-rhythmic motion; an influx of solar radiation flowing through the universal energy grid governing all consciousness had finally breached the Virgo super-cluster.

         Eons before, “mystics” had proclaimed that a great event as such would happen one day. But nobody believed them and called them liars, heretics and lunatics. That is, until team E-Fishiency proved every single one of those lunatics correct....

         Breach of consciousness? Ha! thought von Däniken, a plump child of Swedish heritage, sitting in the front row. What about the ‘quantum-flip’?

Actively monitoring the brain-waves of the class through their  Ethernet ∞ links, the ovoid android recorded von Däniken’s thought and, instantly, came alive with several beeps and flashing colored lights. It hovered out of its holster and announced, in its sensual synthetic voice, “Class, young von Däniken, here, has found us a link!” Hovering to a flashing button on Button Board, it pushed it to silence its flashing, then turned and said, “Congratulations, von Däniken! You earned the first gold star of the day! A double-star!” The class giggled in delight as Ethernet ∞ cycled through a massive number of files in order to track down von Däniken’s thought link.

         The curvaceous android beeped, then said, “Students, please turn your attention back to Ethernet ∞. We will now look at the time-spot when electronic technology played a pivotal roll in human evolution.” It hovered back to its surveillance desk, docked, beeped three times, and restarted the data feed.

         :1-1-2000: Multiple electronic wonder-majigs had become commonplace in homes around the world by this time-spot. Even indigenous third-world communities living in the jungle knew of hi-tech and consumer grade technology. One type they knew plenty about was television. They knew about “TV” because of the equipment used to video record them. It was regularly deployed by environmentalists who traveled about, recording these aborigine tribes who choose to inhabit rain forests instead of concrete jungles. It is noted that various tribes cooperated with the environmentalists to satellite map the most dense regions on Earth. The aborigine chiefs were taught to use a chunky old, handheld GPS unit to get the job done.

         From the sky high Tibetan monks, who live atop the Himalayas, to the down to earth Dogon bush tribes living amongst the plague and poverty stricken plains of Africa, these spiritual masters and inquisitive natives allowed outsiders to film and document them within their natural environments. If only to show the world at large that nobody needs luxuries and/or material possessions to identify oneself with. Nor are such trivial things needed to live a healthy and productive life.

         Excluding these tribes and spiritual adepts, the unified global community was deemed “the Electric Society,” in popular literature and the term had struck a chord. The 2011 December issue of Illuminate magazine raved: “The Electric Society is a living, breathing, one world religion, government, communication, economics, and entertainment industry ruled over, and made possible by electronic radiation!”...

         A young blue-ball of plasma energy, sitting behind von Däniken, emanated in its own strange language, “Ah, yes! Delicious radiation!” and blazed with intensity.

         The android teacher beeped twice and Ethernet ∞ continued its Interstellar History feed. A slime ball kid sitting in the back row hit the glowing magma kid, sitting in front of him with a slime wad – which actually evaporated before it hit the searing its skin of rippling magma.

         *Beep* observed the android teacher.

         Not many acts committed, legal or other-wise, escaped being recorded by someone, somewhere, somehow, with a gizmo of some sort—like a satellite or an extremely small electronic observation system—inanimate and organic. I.e. a spying device that could be easily mistaken for an everyday object like a plant, insect, rock, bird, or a staggering amount of other things. It is also noted that this information is based upon a debunked top-secret Cold War program Codename: Igloo White.

         It was the so-called art of science, a dissection and application of the esoteric mysteries of magic(k)—an exploration of the mid-Grey region, that humans inhabit, out to the Black and White boundaries leading beyond human perception—that was being applied, stringently, to reality by the mystics, secret societies and black-budget government funded laboratories during the twentieth century that bound humanity to an unequal state of responsibility. Nonetheless, it is this all-encompassing state of inequality, credit and karmayic pressure that helped people the world over to reach the financial status of, and be able to live just like Medieval Royalty. Each imperial denizen united together as one society, guided by the warm, hypnotic, illuminicity of electricity....

         Hmm, `city.... considered an electro-static youngling who’s coming of age and lost in her own thoughts about electricity.

         Mother Earth never before saw its wealth spread so evenly to its billions of inhabitants, who all soaked it up like a dry sponge. Yet, the richy-rich still had many options exclusive to them as a privilege of amassing so much money, where as the middle and lower class residents could also enjoy those privileges if they raised the monetary funds necessary to do so.

         Then again, prejudice economic values were as strong, if not more so, than its racial cousin. The classic phrase, “I don't mean anything personal. But, hey, it’sa business,” is the only saying needed to make this point clear....

         What does financial prejudice have to do with studying the Electric Society? wondered a young elfin intergalactic exchange student who’s new to the Milky Way.

         The android teacher beeped three times and its circuits whirred. A button lit up on the Button Board.

         It is recorded that something odd happened right before the time-spot of 2005. The Mayan Calender predicted a dramatic event to take place in the continent of Europe that eclipsed the time-spot of 2012 – when the Mayan Calender just so happens to end. Records of this 2005 event were either lost or never written down beyond that something was deciphered about Europe and the time-spot of 2005....

         A pubescent tadpole intrigued by strange human history was thinking, Hmm.... This event must’ve not been too important if it wasn’t written down. But, still, I wonder.... It was included in the text for a reason, wasn’t it?

         The android teacher beeped once and the bright button on the Button Board flashed twice before fading.

         :10-21-2011: World leaders united to form a world wide militia, the Global Armed Forces Coalitia Against Anarchy, or GAFCAA, after deciding to step in and do something about the 'devilish anarchy' troubling planet Earth. It took GAFCAA a few months of consolidated, extensive around the clock Research and Development prior to that date, but the day of reckoning for the homosexuals had spawned with a great, secret ballyhoo.

         :1-6-2012: GAFCAA passed a treaty calling a truce between the sexually hostile forces. The following is the official GAFCAA statement delivered live on television by  General C. L. Cancino:

         "The ways of survival are grounded in the happiness and continuation of heterosexual couples. Yet, certain people find personal satisfaction in being courted by somebody of the same sex or are curious about said nature.

         "Those people who practice said lifestyle must receive a Circuit of Authenticity placed within the backside of their right hand or within their forehead so as to be identified easily and not interfere with the human survival rate anymore with this sickening God Forsaken War that’s killed off an estimated third of all human life on Earth. From now on all homosexuals with a Circuit of Authenticity will be known as God's Special Helpers.

         "Thank you, and yours, for your cooperation."

         Miraculously, after this announcement, the fighting ceased all around the globe. The homosexuals all agreed that GAFCAA’s statement was the happiest news ever to be announced! And then proceeded to party amongst the ruinous debris of the planet, separate from the heterosexuals.... Who also partied amongst the smoldering debris.

-(Assessing Data)-

         The Circuit of Authenticity was designed with a built-in Global Position Sensor (GPS) for always knowing exactly where you and your loved ones are within the Electric Society. The Circuit of Authenticity, also, worked as an information storage device. For example: If you got too drunk, forgot where you live, and had to take a taxi cab home; well, the cab driver could easily scan your Circuit to get you home safely and get his pay—two percent tip included! This was only one of the “luxurious services” a chipper received with their brand-new, Circuit of Authenticity....

         The android teacher beeped three times then flashed a yellow light. It recorded a rise in the heartbeat of several kids when the “censor” message appeared.

Also, the World Bankers Union were very pleased to hear that the potential of using the implanttoo as a personal credit system as well as a safety device was easily within reach.”

         In the last quarter of 2012, GAFCAA released a statement saying that they had finally produced enough of the newly named God's Fingerprint implanttoo (a quote on the number could not be obtained) and were ready for immediate use. The dimensions of the implanttoo were too small to be described accurately, but were said to be roughly the same size and dimensions as a single atom molecule.

         :12-2-2010: Rumors spread across the internet, but traveled even faster and further by word of mouth, saying that Sony Labs had perfected their Cell Technology and were using it to manufacture God's Fingerprint.

         —The following is an interesting story about Sony Inc., concerning why the manufacturing licence for God’s Fingerprint was a much needed clandestine business adventure for them.

         :7-14-2008: Sony Labs presented Nintendo Inc., their rival in the video game industry, with a proposal to partner up and develop the next “big” video game entertainment system. Word on the street was that Sony felt compelled to “kiss and make-up” with Nintendo for helping them break into the video game biz. But insiders say that Sony actually was hoping to gain insight about the future of video gaming from Camp Nintendo, so as to stay current in the video game technology war.

         Whether or not any this information is true, the fact remains that the Nintendo’s Wii revolutionized the way video games were played. With the Wii’s creative use of gyroscopic and infrared technology, interfaced with a user-friendly console and party-oriented video games, Nintendo had once again set the bar for hi-tech, interactive entertainment at home....

         A chubby green plant-being sitting by the door thought, Huh, that old time scrape can’t be compared to our holo-simulators! and laughed a smothered, bubbling sound.

         At the security dock, the teacher beeped and a blue light flashed atop its headpiece, outlining its contours for just a moment. Then Ethernet ∞ continued the cerebral data feed.

         :11-17-2006: Sony's Cell Technology was originally developed for, and released as, the main CPU for the Playstation 3. Yet, the PS3 was more-or-less what consumers expected....

         What?!.. Fumed a nerdy human girl wearing a pair of taped glasses, helping to justify why Interstellar History is her favorite study course. Its, then, immense computing power is what made the PS3 awesome!

         *Beep* *Beep*

-(Assimilating Data)-

         The PS3 had the most incredible hi-definition graphics of the time-spot and played its games in the orthodox fashion, or old-school tradition, with a two-handed controller. But the unexpected nail in the coffin for the PS3 was its planned Blu-Ray DVD movie/video game format—readable only once—that was finally aborted at it reach its production stage. (It is noted that Sony thought this stratagem would work to battle the copyright infringement and emulation plague of that time-spot.)

         Impressed by the creativity of Nintendo's Wii, Sony swallowed it pride and sent a proposal to the President of Nintendo. The proposal summarized what Sony’s R & D calculated what their Cell Technology was capable of doing when integrated with the Wii’s processing architecture. The President of Nintendo reluctantly scheduled a “make it, or break it” meeting with Sony with high hopes of producing a more fun game play archetype.

         At that meeting, the Chairman presented Sony's outline in detail to the President of Nintendo over a three-course dinner and several rounds of drinks. During that time, Nintendo's President displayed a small interest in the project, asking a question here and there throughout the presentation.

         Although, the morning after, the Chairman received an ecstatic phone call from a vivid President of Nintendo, who claimed he “couldn't sleep at all that night,” and he’d “become fascinated” by what the Sony had planned!

         At the end of the energetic conversation, the President told the Chairman that he'd "have no part in playing Dr. Frankenstein with his company," and that Sony was trying to turn his beloved video game playing community into a bunch of pseudo-cyborg zombies! Let alone, what might happen to the rest of the world if Nintendo agreed to partner up with them. With that said, the President abruptly ended the phone call.

         Personally hurt by Nintendo's decision, more than anything else, the Sony Executive Board predicted that Nintendo wouldn’t partner up with them away, because Nintendo backed out on them before—in the 1990s—when they had a deal to produce a CD add-on device for Nintendo’s 16-Bit Super Nintendo Entertainment System. (The SNES CD add-on device would have competed against Sega CD, the first video game CD add-on device, released by Sega Enterprises Ltd., for their 16-Bit entertainment system, the Sega Genesis.) Despite Nintendo’s drastic decision to copout, Sony Inc. took to heart what they learned from Nintendo during the former developed phase and produced their own video game system: The (original) PlayStation, or PS One, which earned Sony a top spot in the video game manufacturing business for several years.

         Coincidently, a different rumor suggests that the PS One is the unspoken brainchild of Nintendo’s rejected CD add-on device. But every time a prominent Sony employee was questioned about this rumor, they always denied to comment.—

         When Nintendo refused to partner up with Sony in the mid-2008 time-spot, the original game play experience found on the Wii shot Nintendo back up to the number one economic spot on the video game charts. Despite the onset of the God Forsaken War, the Sony Executive Board’s prediction had manifest. Sales for the PS3 plummeted as sales for the Wii had blossomed. At this point Sony’s only choice was to liquidate its overstock of PS3s stacked up in warehouses world-wide to try and cut even.

         It is noted that the leaked rumors about Sony Labs perfecting their Cell Technology in 2011, to use as the main CPU in the PS4, helped to convince GAFCAA to license Sony to design a specific prototype microchip in secret. One capable of hi-speed processing under the most extreme conditions and with a decent battery life. This contract came in the nick-of-time for Sony, as GAFCAA contracted them during the second week of their world-wide PS3 liquidation sale.

         :11-22-2012: The Global Armed Forces Coalitia Against Anarchy presented the surviving homosexual's of the God Forsaken War with an early Christmas gift: God's Fingerprint, symbolizing them as God’s Special Helpers walking about mankind. The populous of he-fairies and she-men collectively bellowed, "Yippie!" then trotted down to the nearest hospital to receive their implanttoo; almost as if declaring, proudly, their evolutionary independence from the Human Race.

         The streamline teach hovered over to the Button Board, checked a dark button, beeped, then hovered back to the security desk to continue monitoring the delta brain-waves of the students.

         :1-5-2012: A world census taken by GAFCAA showed the God Forsaken War was a massacre for heterosexuals, and that half of Earth’s populous was now homosexual. The ratio was 3 heteros killed for every 1 homo. A rounded estimation, quoted by GAFCAA, stated that about four billion people lost their lives during the three-and-a-half years of widespread gorilla warfare.

         Obviously, a lot of highly trained people were homosexual or those types of individuals were extremely proficient marksmen and talented killers. Anyway you look at it, it can honestly be said that that time-spot of human history was legitimately “queer.”

         The class startled a collective gasp. The android teacher beeped three times and, atop its headpiece, a red light flashed three times, accenting its sleek curves.

         Top scientists blamed the God Forsaken War on humanity’s reaction to the Earth's Bio-Rhythmic Motion within the Universal Energy Grid and other interstellar blather of that sort....

         Conspiracy Theorists blamed everyone from the government, to the men in black, to outer space aliens, the Illuminati, and all other organized groups they’re not affiliated with or just so happen not to be part of. They also went as far as blaming any rational individual who was capable of thinking and fending for themselves and their loved ones....

         Who included:

         The Religious Bunch, who believe as they do. They went into hiding, never to come out again. If not, they did something else just as awkward or forgettable. If neither then they went steer-crazy and got buck-wild rioting with the rest of the world at large....

         Who was doing just that—ultra hedonistic destruction on a level unheard of in human history. Every city and town was part of the uproar. Outraged malevolent anger was the reason of the day and immature acts ruled the land. It could be said that the entire surface of the Earth was one big orgy of a blood and fire, and that surely the Electric Society was no more.

         Of course, anyone not dubbed "out of their minds” and “part of the maddening hell storm" by the Powers-That-Be –who were fighting to preserve the Electric Society– were part of the Armed Forces Freedom Movement, spearheaded by GAFCAA. Or they were a suit-n-tie politico, vying to become one of the elite Powers-That-Be and, thus, an influence to GAFCAA.

But no matter what job a human was doing or where they were doing it, in the end, all were equally dirty....

         Somebody or something yawned in the back of the class and the glistening android beeped. The light atop its headpiece did not flash.

         The point all to this accumulated in the time-spot of 2013 and beyond, when, by the way of God's Fingerprint – which they received happily for reasons unknown – the homosexuals were finally accepted as a non-threat to human survival.

         When that happened, a small amount of time elapsed before subtle and drastic changes occurred within and throughout the mapped and unmapped regions of the human psyche. These changes can only be described as a very focused and clean energy; a clean energy that made communication fluid between all inhabitants of Earth (mammalian and other.) The best example to be found of this newly cleanse and refocused energy is how, in only five short years after the God Forsaken War, construction begun on a real life Moon Base. One built as a capital commuter adventure for the advancement of the Human Race. A Moon base dedicated to the righteous eradication of prejudice throughout all of humanity. Of course, the Moon Base referred to is the legendary M.B. 1-A.

         The teacher quickly beeped four times, flashed an orange light, then zapped a slumbering Trogladoff sitting in the front row next to von Däniken. The young mop-haired mannimal stirred, shifted his weight in the hover chair, then nodded off again.

         Remember, now, that the God's Special Helpers program was first and foremost put into action as a military operation formulated by GAFCAA. To that extent, when the global riot of World War Four, or the God Forsaken War finally ended in the streets, the chipped half of Earth’s population was considered GAFCAA’s prisoners of a freewill war and dealt with accordingly....

         A Sprite sitting in the back-left corner of the classroom twitched hard at the thought of a “freewill war,” spattering the walls around it with sparkly aetheric dust.

         The android beeped thoughtfully and flashed an ultraviolet light, alerting the Scrub Bots to clean the wall after class.

         :2013-2014: It was during this time-spot that the mental and physical wounds of the Earth’s populace began to heal. During the reconstruction of the ransacked cities and towns, everybody was distracted with hard work when reality really started to flip....

         Most heteros believed that the comradery the homosexual's experienced during the reconstruction of the Electric Society made them change their uncouth ways....

         Top scientists blamed the sexual shift on the “pathogenic musk” people sweated out during the reconstruction effort. “This mysterious pathogen is something that ignites the built-in amorous nature of every man and woman alive,” they explained to the global leaders, as they presented their graphs and charts correlating the number of babies born in construction sites staffed with heterosexuals, versus construction sites staffed exclusively with homosexuals....

         This, the Conspiracy Theorists were totally baffled by. And since they couldn’t find a scapegoat to pin this mind-blowing event on, they for once shut up....

         The Religious Bunch came out of hiding, thanked the Lord out loud in a very abrupt and dramatic fashion, then passed-out due to exhaustion, presumably from extensive prayer sessions....

         Anybody else not commented upon was just happy the God Forsaken War was over so they could raise their families in peace and, once again, play their video games uninterrupted.

         The politicos were already planning another war so say the conspiracy theorists.

         It is noted that the monks and tribes, alluded to at the beginning of this lecture, laughed at the foolish Electric Society before, during, and after the God Forsaken War; for they were not affected by it in any way....

         Outside the classroom, something huge trumbled through the hallway distracting a few of the kids with its massive vibrations.

         Overall, the chipped homosexuals had no choice but to show their true feelings when their secret significant other became pregnant. Gay men started acting like, and thus becoming, real men, as they should be. And lesbians transformed themselves back into proper ladies, as they should be....

         A choir of “Ah’s” erupted from the female students in the class. A stone kid from a tiny planet orbiting Polaris voiced his gravelly opinion: “Boring!”

         Docked snugly, the metallic teacher beeped three times, then flashed a bright silver light, and the class piped down.

         Interestingly enough, the true details about the God’s Special Helpers program is, shall we say, completely different. As those “in the know” know, by Above Top-Secret participation in executing GAFCAA's very own Operation: Delta X-Y Undulation – a silent biological attack, slowly and randomly applied to the chipped populace. (That program evolved from Operation: Cattle Round-Up, which was incredibly successful when the G.F. Chip was willingly accepted by the “enemy”.) The biological attacks were of a highly individualized and fine-tuned nature based upon internal data the G.F. Chip obtained from its host. In turn, that collected data was relayed through a satellite that bounced the data back to an Observation Station somewhere on Earth. It is assumed that only two Observation Stations were used to track and manipulate humans the world over. One Station was believed to be near the north pole, based in Greenland. The other was supposed to be located near the south pole, in the middle of Antarctica. Nobody thought nor knew that only one Observation Station existed. It was jam packed in the former Missile Defense and Space Command Center, or known better as NORAD, which is nestled inside of Cheyenne Mountain of beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado....

         After completing the 2012 world census, all world leaders—politicos and top brass—finally stopped flirting with the idea of killing off the chipped half of the Earth’s population with the universal phrase: “Too many dead bodies, not enough people.” Conferring via high speed Internet, the world Leaders debated over what to do with the chipped populous. That meeting lasted a hair under thirty minutes. But in that small amount of time, GAFCAA’s Operation: Delta X-Y Undulation was formulated and put to immediate effect, vastly changing the purpose of the Electric Society in a vastly unexpected way.

         Subsequently, GAFCAA had convinced the world leaders to agree that Operation: Cattle Roundup should never be spoken of again. Yet, this file, and most previous files obtained for this lecture, were compiled from scattered declassified government files that were deemed to be of historical significance....

         Feeling like he was being watched, the slime ball kid reabsorbed his wad and pretended to be paying attention.

         GAFCAA’s research into the G.F. Chip started with the idea of live music being played and simultaneously recorded; a mix of organic harmony and with its electronic manipulation. Then, taking the idea that that recording was Mastered by an Audio Engineer who replayed, compressed, and equalized it using cutting edge, world-grade audio equipment, was the detail that demanded much attention to come up with a systematic conversion process that could be applied the same way to the human thought pattern. After the recorded music was Mastered, it was then pressed onto a vinyl record album, and mass produced for consumer distribution. This musically inclined knowledge was used to successfully override all motor functions and influence the brain’s electro-chemical interactions.

         Working deep within the hidden Observation Station, (name deleted), a Humanist Engineer, found and synthesized, a particular human algorithm they discovered in RNA that GAFFCA used as the Operating System for their new program, codename: Aura-Tickle – whose success hinged on whether or not a chipper being observed is a passive or impulsive person; a thinker or a doer.

         According to the personal data collected by the G.F. Chip – which gave a Humanist Engineers the ability to tune-in to somebody’s life like a TV show – the personalized Aura-Tickle frequency was adjusted and fine tuned in real-time automatically by Echelon. A Humanist Engineer would then double check to make sure the desired effect is achieved within the chipped subject. (This process if similar to how an Audio Engineer creates a Master Dub of a song when automating tracks of a recorded performance.) Once automated, the Aura-Tickle frequency hones in on an individual’s Will and amorous nature. When the individual gets their aura tickled, life becomes a movie or a video game to them. Many Humanist Engineers soon found out, to much amusement, how people not only think differently but also lead different shades of life....

         Ni xiang? thought a Chinese boy, sitting across the aisle from the elfin exchange student and behind the sleeping Trogladoff.

         The omnipresent teacher beeped four times, flashed an orange light, then zapped the Trogladoff again. Stunned awake, the mop-headed mannimal unplugged hiss cerebral connector, stood up, snorted in anger, and stomped out the classroom while grumbling to itself. von Däniken effected a sheepish and embarrassed look.

         Beeping once then flashed a green light twice, the nitid android restarted the Ethernet ∞ feed.

         Thanks to the shrewd planning of Sony Labs and the Toshiba Corp., the battery and memory units of the G.F. Chips lost their power by the third year of operation. At that point the chips melted into a nutritious vitamin deposit for its host.

         “Bless the Electric Society for its wisdom and foresight.”

         As odd as it sounds for the Electric Society, our world of unescapable—and totally logical—observation, it is noted that nobody noticed when, during the God Forsaken War, the Earth’s axis shifted by half a degree, making the north and south poles sit at exactly 23° perpendicular.

         Operation: Delta X-Y Undulation worked out better than GAFCAA, or any of the world leaders dared to consider. Not that anybody noticed or will ever notice what really happened, if only because reality is strange enough. But for many generations the Electoral Government saw to it that if somebody did stumble upon this wholly abstract truth that the information would seem too incredulous and could only be the stuff of bad science fiction....

         And this is the filed truth? pondered the bespeckled human girl. Let me see now.... Ah, yes! I forgot this information is being compiled from multiple frag files. Figures....

         A button blinked on the Button Board, and the shiny teacher flashed a gold light. The button faded out, and the lecture continued.

         It is noted that any baby born into the Electric Society during or after the God Special Helpers fiasco did not have to receive God's Fingerprint. After all, it was the homosexuals who were the ones having the babies, and thus, adding the human survival rate.

         “Bless the Electric Society for bolstering true Immortality.”

         In due time both missions, Operation: Cattle Round-Up and Operation: Delta X-Y Undulation, were successful beyond any reasonable hope or explanation. The once homosexual were now living a normal family life, helping the Humanoidious Bacterium to learn to appreciate true love and universal existence and consciousness.

         During the immediate years following the God Forsaken War, the prospect of peace flourished even until recent times. And the vast expanse of Greater Outer Space became much more accessible to the Electric Society because of that peace....

         A young android, sitting in the back right-hand corner of the classroom, had complained mentally. Duh, you just sequenced that!

         The burnished teacher beeped, and a purple light flashed atop its headpiece, dimly illuminating its curves....

         A deep sea habitation and exploration program also began to thrive on Earth. All archaeological detection, excavation, and transportation equipment had received a technological upgrade since the field expanded into underwater- and astro-archeology.

         :9-20-2079: GAFCAA has built a life-sustaining base on Mars, named Topple-Groppilous. And, in 2100, after successfully terra forming a small chunk of Mars for colonization, GAFCAA opened Topple-Groppilous up to public accommodation. And, within five years, Mars Base T-G became the transaction capital of ol’ Red. This is when Deimos and Phobos became Jovian space ports used primarily as a pit stop when going out to, or coming in from, the outer planets of the Sol Star System....

         The android teacher burped a digital burp and flashed a black light repeatedly, signaling the end of the lecture. It disconnected the cerebral connecters to all the students, then beeped twice in its normal tone as white light flashed down its curves.

         The magma kid was contemplating, The Electric Society, huh?... when class came to an abrupt end. And, just as quickly, the magma kid shifted his thoughts as well. I’ll walk out behind slime ball and give him a wet-willy for flinging that wad at me earlier!
