The Time Traveler

In the year, 2828,humanity developed  time travel that became normalized within four years after its beginning. Children learn the mechanics of the technology when they reach third grade.Dr.Samuel Townson  an historian and history buff decided to attempt travel to 1776 to gain better insight into the founding of the United States of America. He graduated  from University of Science and Technology in Boston , Massachusetts. Dr Townson wrote an academic paper titled History of the American Revolution in his senior year. His assistant Lucky prepared the machine for him  to ride and check for any  abnormality in it.He found nothing out of the ordinary.

“Lucky,,is the History Bus ready for action?”

“Dr.Townson,”Everything is clear and safe.”Enjoy the trip.”

“Thanks, Lucky””See you soon” Dr.Townson entered the chambers of the  History Bus turning on the red button then he heard Lucky screamed no!

The History Bus roared sending him into the recent past of 1976 instead of 1776. It stops suddenly in front of the sign title Revolution Disco.Curious, Dr.Townson entered the club shocked by the decor dominated  by  the bright yellow and  red color scheme. The disco ball caught his attention prompting him to explore the place further.The owner of Revolution Disco  noticed the new visitor,”Dude, that is a terrible disguise , are you space alien in human form lost in time? Nathan’s place attracts oddballs, eccentrics,non- conformists, the strange and the weird.so he would not be surprised if a visitor from  another planet comes here.

“No, not an alien from out of space , but a time traveler from the 27th century, ” without fear of being  branded an insane weirdo. Dr. Townson observed the younger man’s reaction to his revelation surprised that Nathan did not mock him.

“Lucky for you , “I just opened my business and no customers have arrived seeing you in that  wack-out outfit.””I always believe in the possibility of time travel”,

“We represent a cultural revolution of disco”  said Nathan with a joyous tone.

“What year is this? asked Dr.Townson.

“1976,” Welcome to  the 20th century “,” Started to get dull from my wild  viewpoint. said Nathan with a grin”

.”Thanks, “I appreciated the welcome.” “I need to blend into disco club culture.’

“Your outfit would make  you stand out in a crowd plus mocking your appearance.”

“I have room upstairs with clothes in the closet.””You could rent on the House on tonight only.” said Nathan excited to have an out of this world customer.

A mysterious plush toy from Audra’s childhood  appeared on the bedside.A man appears outside of  the bedroom window observing the scene. He  put out a remote  control then activated it. The toy came alive  called Audra’s name in a high -pitched tone.

Zoey first noticed  the noise  meowing loudly at her mistress .Audra ignored her cat’s meow  because, she could  not hear it.

Sentience in Science-fiction Stories

Throughout the month of    August I chose to explore the science-fiction theme of sentience  in a variety of forms. The first example of sentient being I exploring includes Aurora my primary character  who’s a living starship in The Barren Moon.

My other works that explore non-human sentience  alongside  self-aware intelligence are The Blue Robot , Money -Eating Machine and The Sentient City.

Aurora in The Barren Moon

I create Aurora one of  the primary characters in The Barren Moon.She acts as a sentient starship with a self-aware sentience.Aurora enjoys the company of her human crew mates and grows lonely when  they leave the ship  for a planet landing party. She relies on her A.I  for language communication alongside  conveying messages across space. Aurora also possesses a mischievous side  that comes out when left alone for an  extended period of time. She displays cautiously about humankind desiring to increase her knowledge of them.

I decided that Aurora’s size will thrice the  Great Whale . Her creator Nehiem  an admirer of  science-fiction found inspiration  of the living ship Moya from Farscape for Aurora’s creation.

My sentient starship despised warfare and violence.She  exhibits  intelligence , resourcefulness, meekness, strength and inquisitive personality.She  good – natured plus an natural leader among her plant race

I will explore Aurora’s sentience and creation as my story evolves.

The Barren Moon

Captain Bawn entered the  food court of the Aurora a living  spaceship. The decor resembles an old-fashioned 50,s diner mixed with futuristic design.  He noticed the lack of people however,he recognized Angelina ,owner of  Intergalactic Coffeehouse &Cafe.

“Liteatuant Colonel  Gabriel made plans to explore the moon of  Saturn. “He is recruiting an expedition team and they are in training .”

She  opened the blue communication line to Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel encouraging  him to bring his companions for lunch  lattes ,mocha and coffee made by her. Aurora prepared the menu for the guests.

At the command  center,Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel sees the blinking of the blue button revealing that Aurora’s invitation .He relayed back to her”Sorry,Lost track of time””What time is lunch ?

Aurora received Lieatuant Colonel Gabriel’s message and  responded through her pilot.”Lunch is at noon with my special latte Intergalactic Peppermint without informing that Captain Bawn will be enjoying them .Four hours later Liteatuant Colonel Gabriel entered the mess hall noticing no humans with the exceptions of Angelina and Captain Bawn.
