《This Isn't Mongolia》Chapter Twenty Five
Advertisement
Ty woke up in a sweat and hyperventilating, he looked around in the Loft and heard Lyndy cooing in her cot. He was confused and disorientated.
Was it a dream or did it happen, and why was Lyndy in the Loft.
He quickly dressed and phoned Amy, there was no answer, so grabbed Lyndy and ran to the Ranch House.
"Jack, Lisa".
"Hey, are you okay, give Lyndy to me because you look like your about to drop her and sit with Jack, Jack Ty needs a coffee".
" So what's got you all flustered Ty".
"Well I had a dream or should I say a nightmare but I don't know if it was a memory or Just not real, where's Amy and why have I got Lyndy".
"Wow you are confused, must of been a real hum dinger of a nightmare ,
Well Amy's at her Ranch, you were at Maggie's yesterday and she asked if you would like to have Lyndy for the weekend as she needed to do some serious thinking about your future together and then she'd talk to you on Sunday here at Heartland".
"Ohhh thank god".
"So what was this nightmare about to get you so confused if you don't mind telling us".
Ty explained what happened in the dream and even though he now knows Amy's very much alive he's still worried about Ellis.
"Well I'm sorry Ty, I should of told you earlier that Ellis is locked up and so is the bloke who forewarned him that special forces were almost at the camp".
"Oh thank god for that".
"You didn't tell him, Jack you were supposed to phone him that day we got the call".
"I know, I know, I forgot, I'm so sorry Ty".
"Well at least I know now".
"Would you and Lyndy like some breakfast Ty".

" Oh yes please Lisa".
"You feeling a bit more with it now Ty".
" Yeah thanks, I think my heart rate is back to normal now, I remember yesterday now too".
It was Sunday and Amy was on her way, Ty was worried about what decision his wife had made and hoped it was a good one. He'd been trying really hard since he came back, but he also needed to make a decision on his future as a Vet and hoped she'd be either pleased or tell him to take a hike as he'd been offered a partnership in a high tech Veterinary hospital clinic.
He was sat outside on the porch, Lyndy was fast asleep inside.
He saw Amy drive round the corner approaching the Ranch House and his anxiety spiked, not just because of what she was going to say but also what he had to tell her, he'd actually had two offers and one would definitely rattle her cage.
He met her at the gate and she hugged him and actually kissed him how they used to kiss before he wrecked everything. They walked in to the house and Amy hugged Lisa then her Grandpa and then popped to see Lyndy who was still asleep.
"Ty, fancy a walk".
"Yes Certainly Amy".
As they walked out Ty looked at Lisa who had both hands up with her fingers crossed.
"Where would you like to walk Amy".
"Let's head for the Lake".
"That's different".
As they were walking she held his hand telling him how pleased she was that he'd been serious about changing and that she finally wanted him back at the Ranch so they could be a family again.
Ty was really happy and wanted this so bad. They chatted more and eventually sat by the lake on the grass making out.

Eventually Ty got up the courage to tell Amy about the two Job offers.
"Well I have something I need to talk to you about as well".
"Oh, Okay what is it".
"Well as you know because of my actions I lost the partnership with Scott, and let's say that Cass has made life at the Clinic very difficult, giving me all the worst shifts and taking liberty that I'd stay after my shift finished till she decided to turn up eventually 2 or 3 hours later. Anyway I've had two Job offers".
"Well that's good, I know you can do better, so who offered you the Jobs".
Well you won't like this but the first Job I've been offered was from Vets without Borders but I told them I wasn't leaving the country anymore because of you and Lyndy".
"Good, I'm pleased to hear that".
"Anyway they said they didn't want me to leave the country, they offered me the Job as Manager of their recruiting offices".
"Where's there Office, Local".
"No, it's in Toronto".
Amy stood up and started to walk away.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
