Sohnen Report 1 - Gaian interference within the Gate Network

[silentWitness]

Toy Soldiers.

Toy soldiers, lower then pawns. Yes the children of Gaia, a circle in the sand, puppeted by so many, children scrabbling in the sand for pebbles. They fill their lives with misplaced hopes, to them happiness is a mat in the doorway. I can’t help but be scared for them. Violence is their way, not intentionally, but what is intentional these days… but there is something unexpected about this otherwise backward species.

There are those among them… even now… cursed with the sight… Where and when this began to occur is no mystery to us but why? Why must these ants be cursed? Those who among the bright flames must also see the ashes, was it an unintentional seeding? Evolution?

Of course not… When their planet was seeded fourteen and six Gee’Ceas ago it was not our intention to create such a dangerous can I say genocidal race. Nor was it our intention to allow them into the universe as a whole, indeed we went to great lengths to impede their development, yet now we are faced with a choice… What to do with the Children if Gaia, now that they have escaped into the gate network. They have already done damage to many worlds with their dirty hands, many unique macrobacterial ecosystems have already been irrevocably damaged. What action can be taken. Although our technology could remove this virus from the network like so much garbage, indeed under different circumstances this would not be an issue, but it cannot be ignored that this race shows signs of Transcendent Psychology, this is demonstrated but not limited to the sight of which some 42% of the population, current projections estimate that within this Ki’enn, that number will jump to 100%.

The unexpected awakening of the Gaian Terraformer Machines was not only a startling development but also bought us much needed time. Many of the Gaian ‘R. Gunnes’ survived to settle in the Sonra planetary system, where their interbreeding with the local inhabitance caused much damage to the Sonran experiment, within recent kA’h there has been a startling increase in the number of sighted Sonran individuals, although not unexpected. The viability of Sonran, Gaian genomes were, at the arrival of the ‘R. Gunne’ was close to 45% compatible, the current generation have compatibility as high as 85%. The continued mutation of the Sonran Genome is particularly worrisome with regards to the somewhat virulent nature of the Gaian genetic material. The Gaians were seemingly gifted Jump drive technology by their creations, ‘R gunnes’ describe these machines as ‘Outsider’, this action continues to puzzle or greatest minds, there was no miss jump, the ship was successfully jumped to the Gaian System only to self destruct N’zae later leaving much of the jump systems intact but crippling the vessel itself.

This even leads us to our current meeting, it is only a matter of time until the Children of Gaia are reunited with their R. Gunne descendants and with this Reunion comes the possibility of losing all control of the experiment. Gaian technology is likely to tip the balance we have worked so hard to achieve, but also it will unleash the strongest sighted ones outside of this amalgamation. Those that may pre-empt futures actions. Unlike with Akeela we will not be able to operate under a veil of secrecy.

Ancient ones speak, tell us what is to be done, and it shall be done.

Brilliant, I love it. Forces me to think as well as read, which is rare for any literature.

thought I spotted a couple of typos but suddenly can't find them!

[Smarty74]

I agree! Some bits of it had me scratching my head but I understood the majority. Original stuff indeed Silent Please keep it up and give the guy writers something to think about!!

Just spotted the Glossary and re-read the lot! 100% understood now

[Captain Chris sTc]

sweet. A nice different look at the life of the X-universes and it's inhabitants.

[Urashima Keitaro]

What is there to say? It's following along the route of cynicism, viewing us in the eyes of a race who see us as nothing more then trained killers.

Wow, and I thought I could be cynical. I find your work brilliant, and you're one of the most original, and one of the best, writers here.

[silentWitness]

I got board of writing the thinly vailed porno bull...

So now I'm writing as I want to write... The Sohnen see us killing life... to such a technological race even a microbe is important life... if taken to that extent we are barbarians... nothing more then trained killers.

But a little bit too much on the writer worship there...

[Urashima Keitaro]

Sorry. I try not to go OTT. But as you see, I either feel compelled to do so, or I just fail anyway. Yours is a case of the first.

[silentWitness]

Just keep it real... I work in the backstab industry...

[Urashima Keitaro]

Backstab, eh?

Aye, and I've been a victim of the backstab industry. I know every damn move they're likely to make.

I'll keep it real.

[(/\)arped]

Good story Silent... Like the outlook on humans as a dangerous, almost barbarian race. (In terms of how they behave, not in terms of technology.)

[Thalass]

Great stuff, SW.

A refreshingly different viewpoint.

[Tartarus]

I used to be part of Gaia, now I detest it, I used to have a gf on Gaia, now I don't want to know her... It was a bad experience for me, which felt good at the time... I realize how disgusting it is when compared to this site.
