The Senate meetings, discussions, and debates were soon over. Everyone got out of their seats and walked out of the senate. Reese and Claire also followed out with everyone.

Going into the halls of the Senate, Reese went back to her office along with Claire. She soon reached her office and got into her office room. Most things in the office were made of wood like the floor and wall. Special alloys weren't used for the room since humanity had gotten allergic to things that weren't made from living things. Living in something that was once alive made them feel somewhat happy.

Reese sat on the chair behind her office desk and Claire sat at her desk with a chair. Opening the titanium-locked desk, Reese shuffled through it. She soon found two disk.

“ADK 4, deliver this disk to the rebel leader and this to the president.”

The two disk floated out of Reese's hand and then turned invisible. The door to the office opened and then closed.

“What were in those disks, Reese?”

“Just a message to the rebel leader and the president.”

Claire nodded seeing that Reese didn't want to answer and thought of something.

“It's today isn't it?”

Reese perked up and spoke. “Yes, it is indeed today. Let's go now.”

Claire got up with Reese and went out the door. They were going to visit the deceased grave of Reese's older brother, Jack JJ Jelly.

The grave wasn't on earth since the earth was sacred and people didn't want the earth to be filled with graves. The two got into a spaceship and traveled to a planet far off in another solar system. They reached the planet and saw that it was covered in steel alloy and was protected with a force field.

The planet was a graveyard planet. A place where information is stored about the deceased along with their remains. They passed through the force field of the graveyard planet and checked in at one of the space stations. They then descended to the planet.

On the planet, one could see many towering buildings. These buildings represented the generations of bloodline that died. The taller the building, the more generation the family had kept records of intact.

Reese docked the spaceship by an extremely tall tower. She and Claire then got off the space and went up the tower. After a while using the elevator, they soon reached the floor they were looking at. On the floor, they could see another woman waiting by the grave.

The woman had red wild long hair. She wore black jeans with a red shirt and a black jacket. She heard them coming and looked at them. Her face looked pretty and she had the aura of a lioness. Everything about her seemed confident and she looked at them while smiling.

“You’re finally here, I have questions for you?”

“Good to see you, Valine, I'll answer any question you have,” Reese said.

“Alright, what's the color of your underwear.”

Reese sighed, “questions relating to JJ. It's the least you deserve.”

Valine nodded and looked at Jack's picture. Jack wasn't smiling in the picture, that's what living in a world without purpose did to you. Many citizens if not all were like Jack. Once you did everything you could in life, you slowly started losing the purpose of everything.

The government of the U.C was mostly for show and fun. Humanity had already invented a super-smart AI. An A.I smart enough to take care of humanity's needs.

Currently humanity was slowly dying of depression because of technology and evolution. Many turned to religion to feel alive and it mostly worked out for them.

After thousands of years, humanity still had not come in contact with intelligent terrestrial life. They were most likely not alone but waiting to find intelligent terrestrial life was hard. The average lifespan of humanity in this age was around a thousand years. It could be higher but many people choose suicide by the time they got to age one thousand.

“How did JJ die?” Valine spoke softly.

“He died fighting cancer.” Reese answered neutrally.

Still speaking softly. “That's a load of bullshit, cancer already has a cure thousand of years ago.”

“Your right Valine, Jack never had cancer cells.”

“So you lied to me?”

“No, I didn't, he indeed died fighting cancer.”

“How can he die of cancer if he didn't have cancer.” Valine looked at her weirdly.

“I said he died fighting cancer, I never said cancer killed him.”

Valine sighed and touched her head. “Quit playing with your riddles and get to the point.”

“He told the doctor to inject him with cancer cells.”

Valine knew JJ, but that was beyond weird. “That's pretty stupid, why did he do that.”

“He said he wanted to fight cancer and win, said he wanted to feel alive fighting something without technology.”

“He didn't win did he?”

“He didn't win or lose.”

“How does that work?”

“He hired professional actors and got them to kill him with an electric chair. In the end, cancer didn't kill him so he didn't lose, still died but didn't lose.”

Valine took a deep breath and Claire looked at Reese with an arched eye. Valine spoke softly with hidden rage.

“Tell me why he didn't just cure his cancer and instead died to the electric chair?”

“He said he didn't want to live in shame knowing he lost the fight to cancer. He refused to let cancer win so he took the way out where cancer didn't win and he didn't lose.”

“Reese, are men so stupid and why didn't you stop him.”

Reese shook her shoulder. “I'm feeling dead inside myself. You might not see me tomorrow.”

“Because you're at work?”

“Yes, because I'm at work.”

Claire watched the two depressingly talk on and after a while, she spoke.

“Did you save his DNA and conscious database?”

“No, I didn't.”

“You didn't what!!!!!” Valine spoke loudly.

A conscious database allowed a person to resurrect infinitely, it's why most people aren't afraid of death. Valine was about to strangle Reese but held back.

“Why didn’t you save his conscious database?”

“He said he didn't want to come back to life, said he was tired of life.”

Valine sighed, “what am I going to tell my kid.”

Reese and Claire opened their eyes with shock. Using a person's DNA without permission was illegal. DNA had copyright, copyright was still a beast in this age and time. Many people strive to create something original to own something as copyright.

“Did you get his permission?”

“You know him, he wouldn't let anyone touch his genetic.”

“How many did you incubate and what's the age?”

Humanity had developed the technology to incubate life instead of just pregnancy. The incubation technology allowed one to produce as many children as they wanted. Reese's parents were scientist and abused the incubation technology to the point where it could make the human rights activist rage. Though human right activist are already extinct.

“Only one Reese, only one. She is ten years old currently.”

“I can't believe you raised her without him knowing. Why didn't you just ask him?”

Valine shrugged her shoulder.

“I tried but he's a very realistic person. He said that one day his descendant would commit a sin and that by not leaving any descendants, he is stopping the cycle of sin.”

Claire and Reese blanked out. His reasoning was true, they couldn't deny it. It seemed stupid to them even if it was true. Reese sighed and Claire looked at Jack’s picture.

Reese spoke softly, “let's go to your place, I want to visit my nephew.”

“Nice, I'm sure you'll love her to death when you see her.”

The three got off the planet and visited Valine place. Valine lived in a small house. She wasn't poor or anything, it's just that she liked small houses.

They went into the house and saw a young girl at the age of 10 with Vanilla hair and pale skin playing the piano. Kids her age liked trying out all sorts of stuff. School wasn't needed ever since a technology that could implement knowledge into your head was invented.

The three looked at her play with the piano from afar. After a long while, she was done playing. She looked at them and smiled.

“Did you raise her like JJ?” Reese asked Valine.

“I did, molded her just like him.”

“That's good, what's her name.”

“Her name is Vanilla Vera Vestige, she goes by Vanilla.”

Reese got up and walked towards Vanilla. Valine and Claire looked at her in confusion. Vanilla looked at Reese with a glint in her vanilla eyes.

“Your walking towards me?”

“I can't hug you without walking towards you.”

The moment Reese got close, Vanilla ran up the stair and screamed.

“A pedo’s after me.”

Reese looked at the stair where there was no one and started laughing. Valine and Claire looked at the stairs in confusion.

“She’s indeed like her father,” Reese spoke with a smile.

“I'll come to visit some other time, come on Claire, let's go.”

Claire followed after Reese and Valine went after her daughter.
