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.
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.

Several of my Science-Fiction works in progress includes vibrant Christian Utopias that rarely explore in the genre.
I felt inspired to write about Christianity as an positive force in the future.
My new story idea Ancient of Days take placed during the last of Second Dark Ages and begining of rebirth of Christianity.My protagonist Dr.Isabella Riverville an historical chronicler ,historian and a student of Biblical Studies provide history of the creation of Gloryland to post-nuclear apocalyptic America.
Ancient of Days,s storyline involves an Christian Utopian Society called Gloryland that provides a spiritual safe haven for survivors of the thermonuclear war.
I decided to write about the effects of Angelique,s and Zechariah s. discovery of Holy Bible thirty- five years in the future. Christianity become legal again triggering an renaissance of Biblical knowledge previous forbidden to explore or know.
Another tale of Christian Utopia my story titled Thousand Year Reign of Christ explore the world during the Millennial rule the Lord of Lords .Christ,s leadership produce global peace allowing the sciences, Christian faith and arts thrive. Space and time travel become the norm on the Planet Earth with legal restrictions.The Great Physician eradicated cancer, diabetes, AIDS and all life-threatening diseases.Humanity could communicate with Christ face to face in Holy City of Jesrsulem.
The Sword of Lord also take places during Millennial Reign of Christ that explore training in spiritual warfare.
In my earlier tales Sanctuary 2100, ,Christianity give hope and spiritual strength residents of post-pandemic America.The X-Y Experiment plague decimated the male population allowing the meek to inherit the Earth. The Community of Santuary2100 practices Christ,s teaching of Beatitudes in the Sermon of The Mount.
The matriarchal governmental leadership of America in Sanutary2100 tolerate the Christian community with exception of Eveville.

Ten years ago,Marsha brought commercial the land close to the downtown West Haven.

In Bluey2525,s world the arts and sciences suffer extreme persecution from the anti- artificial intelligence environmental group called Back to Nature and Humanity. Scientists and artist flee to Ohio, where they can receive a safe haven. The state legislators created Protection From Persecution Act of 2530 that forbidding organization such as Back to Nature and Humanity from entering or set up shop.
Bluey2525,s makeup prevented him from obeying instructions involves killing, injuring , maiming humans and sentient lifeforms. Robots can only use force in cases of self- preservation or protecting their creators from death or harm.
Toledo,s Imagination Station of the Future on May 1,2525 added the new robotics metal art section called Wonders of Science .
The Director of Imagination Station of Future invited Dr.Rivers and Bluey2525 as guest speakers for their celebration.
“Greeting and Welcome to the five anniversary robot exhibit Wonders of Science .” My name is Bluey 2525 ,here my origin story gesturing his robotic hands towards Dr.Rivers who previous granted him authorization to speak.
“I am five years in human terms with average lifespan of 500 hundred years or more.’
On January 1,2525 , my creator Dr.Era Rivers created me as a first generation of blue robots in the robotics lab at the abandoned University of the Sciences, Arts and Robotics located in Santa Barbara ,California.
He converted as a personal workplace and restored the lab destroyed by Back to Nature and Humanity group under the leadership of a rogue government agent.
My is Isabella Riverville ,I am a historical chronicler, and a student of Biblical Studies alongside a historian. My birth occur on January 22,2520 in a experimental city called Gloryland that evolve in a spiritual safe haven. I was born after 2nd anniversary of the founding of Gloryland.
On January 17,2525, full -scale thermonuclear holocaust wipeout 85%of world,s population triggering later the development of Christian utopias and opposing dystopias.
Radio broadcasters in United States reported no signs of human animal, and plant life after the bombs hit metropolitan cities such as Washington D.C,New York City,Chicago ,Los Angeles.They also theorized most of governmental officials died and the military decimated in least in theory.
Residents of Gloryland worship a being they called Ancient of Days who they reference Creator and Humanity Heavenly Father
Baptists members of the local churches united to provide spiritual guidance and share the gospel in wastelands of America. I decided to created an personal historical account of the creation of Gloryland to post-nuclear apocalyptic America and my childhood in the aftermath
I begin my journey recalling my mother reading the tale of the experimental city of Gloryland that developed in the Deathlands empty of human habitation. Anti-Christian hostility increases to extreme level prompting believers to flee dense population areas of the American deserts. The full-scale thermonuclear war started seven years after the birth of Gloryland. The U.S government collapsed with most of Congress, the House of Representatives Legislature, and President wiped out with a few governmental officials to flee to the underground bunkers at Cheyenne Mountain. Some of the military personnel survived , because they foresaw the nuclear war and prepared for it. The surviving leaders order martial law in the country. The bombs destroyed the largest American cities New York, Lost Angeles, Chicago, etc and all the capitals of each state.
The Deathlands remain one of few habitable places in America where people learn how to survive without government aid or safety net.
