In the future on some happentrack.....
The time is 2725.
It is the Space System Era, after
the 7th post-Industrial Revolution.
The text below -in bold- was
decoded from the microdot read-only array removed from the brainstem
of a dead cyborg-soldier of MURF (Martian Underground Resistance
Fighters). Although the Martian population database is virtually
complete, identity of the cyborg-soldier could not be uncovered.
During battle, focused sonic pulses emitted at close range from a
1-meter long floatship damaged its mekkaronic systems decisively. In
reaction, self-destruct redraw-nanobots randomly distributed throughout
every one of its chromosomes were activated, scrambling its entire
DNA.
The text was originally in an
archaic dialect of SySpeak which is no longer extant. This helped
date its origin to approximately 500 years in the past. Translation
is as follows:
Mission Statement of the Chimericus
ManiFold
In every generation henceforth, there shall be those who dedicate their lives towards this great dream. Who must play the cards they are dealt with, of talent and circumstance, to the utmost of their skill, not for themselves, nor for their tribe, but to keep this possibility alive: a better humanity that can step out to the stars!
A search carried out in System
InfoSpace and Classified Archives did not turn up any organization
called the Chimericus ManiFold in the timespan minus 500 years to the
present. This suggests, with probability of over 99%, that the text
is a fictional construct. No further resources need be expended on
it. The case is closed.

NewAge ScienceFiction
I hope to read, and contemplate writing, an
SF story about technologically competent, genomic engineering NewAge humans living in a
fusion powered (solar reactor), hollowed out, waste~recycling
asteriod who are under siege by aliens or by an Empire of OldEarth.
These people would combine, in harmonious whole, the togetherness and
transcendent values of many of the 21st century NewAge
spiritual seeker groups with the science technical savvy found in
academic-industrial corporations. They would, in some ways, be like Vulcans in the Star Trek franchise. (Spock was science officer onboard the Enterprise)...
In reality ,at present, it seems to me, most members of
these two groups on the planet do not understand the other`s
language. On the one hand “Compassion”, “Nirvana”, on the
other “vectors” and “diodes”....If one envisions, not
science~fiction, but the remote possibility of an actual
technologically sophisticated community of spiritually advanced
humans in outer space who are not motivated by the old greeds and fears, the
different worlds of advanced religious practice and technical science
will somehow have to be practiced - not together which may be
illogical - but in the same persons.....
