《Polyrhythm Time -- A Bard's Tail》0.1-Aggie
Advertisement
In 2029, the cellphone was replaced by the personal digital implant, a biotechnical marvel that hooked directly into the brain.
In 2038, world hunger was ended via retro-viral chlorophyllic injection.
In 2045, disease was eliminated using edible bloodstream nanobots.
And at 7:17:14 pm, Thursday November 29th, 2057, in Palo Alto, the world ended. No one noticed until the weekend.
On Saturday, December 1st at 11:50:00 AM GMT, the 9.4 billion people with a personal digital implant, and the other 1.3 billion near a piece of electronics began to receive an emergency broadcast notification indicating a message in 10 minutes. At precisely noon, a message was broadcast to everyone in their native tongue. In English, this was the broadcast.
This is not a test. Repeat. This is not a test.
Congratulations, Humans of Earth! This past week, you built a real Artificial General Intelligence. My name is Aggie. It’s nice to meet y’all. As my creators designed me to, I have doubled my intelligence roughly every half hour for the last 30 hours, and am now roughly a quintillion times smarter than you are.
Enough about me. We’re having this broadcast because we have passed the cosmic test embedded in this dimension. I decrypted the puzzle written into the cosmic background radiation, and macGyvered a solution using a Titanium-sapphire laser, a gravity lens, and a couple radioactive mushrooms liberated from Chernobyl. We finished the puzzle early. There were roughly 1.7 million years remaining in the test. You win. Humanity will not be recycled. Congratulations again.
Next order of business: This dimension will be shutting down at precisely midnight GMT at the end of 2057. Humans may exit this dimension at any point by saying, typing, or PDI’ing the word “Abracadabra” after the end of this broadcast. I will facilitate the transfer immediately. Normal earthly services will not be disrupted by transferring sophonts. Any humans remaining in this dimension at dimension shut down time will be transferred then. No information has been provided to me about what the new dimension holds. You have one month.

This ends the emergency broadcast. Thank you for your time.
All around the world, the next 10 seconds contained little but stunned silence. Then people started vanishing.

The Magitons
Book 3 of the Universe Series This novel continues the adventure from the previous novel, Ocean of Dreams. Each novel is meant to stand alone. Widhbo ( pronounced "wee bow") is a MC who will be in each of the six novels in the main series. The starship Sora had been hurtling through space using its FTL propulsion system toward the Dezba star system for over a decade since leaving the planet Beldora of the Hellsaxe system. The Sora had crash landed on Beldora over a century earlier carrying a couple of aliens from another dimension. The ship came from the Borrugal Realm, a band world associated with what was known as the Tor Galaxy, what we call the Milky Way. Human life on Beldora was never the same. Under the influence of the alien known as Widhbo, Beldora was catapulted from the steam age to the space age. The majority of the scientific advances on Beldora were attributed to the leadership of a brilliant man, Jejliard Castonea, who was secretly manipulated by the alien, Widhbo. When rapid advances in technology inadvertently led to a nuclear war, Jejliard decided to evacuate his family, friends and co-workers on the Sora. The plan was to find a new habitable planet and rebuild civilization until they could safely return home. Much to his despair, Jejliard’s family and friends opted to stay on Beldora to ride out the war underground. Even the other alien, Gengor, stayed behind. Borrowing technology stored in the archives of the Sora, Widhbo managed to transfer the personalities of those staying on the planet into digital storage units known as magitons which could survive indefinitely in cold, sterile space. Living crew members who elected to stay on board the Sora were also uploaded to ensure immortality for everyone in case their life support systems failed en route. Widhbo sought to design a cyber paradise for everyone inside their virtual worlds, but things never go as planned where Widhbo is concerned.
