Molly The Android Returns To The Sterling Farm by Walt Barrett Segment 12

Segment 12

Molly's Android

   Molly woke up in about an hour after falling asleep in a nice soft chair in the salon. First she saw Jennifer sitting in her chair and then she looked to her right and saw her identical Android twin, except, her twin was dressed in her factory dress that she had on the night she met Jennifer. Molly heard a voice in her head say, “Hi Molly, I'm Molly Android and I'm speaking to you telepathically.”

Molly said, “I understand you and then thought back, can you understand me?”

Molly Android answered, “Yes I can.” 

   Jennifer said, “Both of you speak out loud so that I can compare your voices.” Jennifer continued, “Alright now, here's what's going to happen.” “We're going back to the Sterling Farm in 1910 on the night that Molly and I first met and Molly Android is going to gather up her things she left on the ground and go back down the hill to the farm house.” Molly Android said, “Yes, I know the way back and I'll go in the house and tell everyone what a great time that I had viewing Haley's Comet from the top of the hill and they will never know that I have been gone for several days traveling ahead in time to the 31^st Century.” It will be like I was never missing.

   Molly said to Molly Android, “Are you sure that you can run my machine at the factory and will know all of my friends and relatives?” Molly Android said, “Yes, I gathered all of your life experiences telepathically from your brain last night while you were sleeping. I have every experience that you ever had in life and know everyone that you ever knew.”

   Just then Jennifer interrupted. “Come with me you two. You sound just alike by the way. I'm going to show you how to do a time slide. It's time for Molly Android to go home to the family farm.” Jennifer led them to the control room and to a small computer with a keyboard on it and she said, “We usually speak directly to our computers, but in the case of time travel we always type in the actual numbers. Then we have two people review them. There can be no margin for error.” “Sit down here Molly” she said. “Look at the screen. Across the top it says today's date, year and time. On the next line we have to fill in the blanks where we are going.

Type in the blanks. The Month 05, The Day 08, The Year 1910, The Time 2030, and destination #10 which is the assignment number I gave your family farm. We will arrive at that date and time. When our business is complete we will just type [#1 return] into the keyboard and we will return to the base here in Century 31.”

Molly said, “That wasn't very hard. When are we leaving? Jennifer said, “Right now, just press that red button next to the keyboard.”

Molly pressed the red button and then she hesitated and said, “I didn't feel anything move.” Jennifer said, “You won't feel anything because you are doing a time slide and the ship is not affected by external gravitational forces because it is in a capacitive anti gravity field and unaffected. We will be at your farm in 1910 in four hours so let's get some rest.”

   Four hours later they were parked on top of the hill at Molly Sterling's farm and the ship was in invisible mode. Jennifer, Molly, and Molly's Android Twin opened the ships hatch and descended the steps to the grass. Molly said to the Molly Android, “I think you will like it here and I have lots of nice friends. We all have great fun together on Sunday afternoons. I have a dog too and his name is Bear. I'm sure you will get along just fine. He'll be glad to see you.” Jennifer said, “We have to get back and prepare for the Mars trip.” Molly Android said, “Don't worry I'll be fine and I'll watch over your family. You can talk with me telepathically and can see what I see anytime you wish. I have to go now.” She picked up Molly's belongings from the ground and started off down the hill. Jennifer said, “Come on Molly let's get back on board the space ship. We're off to solve a problem on Mars.”

Segment 11

   On the way up to the war room Jennifer said, “The only real value that Mars has for us is the rare materials that we mine there. There is no atmosphere for humans to breathe and not enough gravity to hold the atmosphere even if we made one. It's very expensive to keep humans alive on an airless planet and also we don't want to pollute our own atmosphere with the toxic gases from the ore smelters so we smelt the ore here.” 

   Molly, still trying to get over the incredibly wild idea that she would be going to Mars at all asked, “Then why are we even going there? Can't you mine the materials here?” Jennifer said, “No, we cannot find any of the materials that we need to build the high voltage circuits for the cosmic particle amplifiers that we use to make power. We use very rare metals and the blue crystals.” Molly asked, “Well if people cannot live there how do you find all these materials and then mine them and load them on space ships to bring them here?” 

Jennifer replied, “Everything including the metal refining and smelting is done by advanced robotic machines there on the Planet because it's so much less expensive in the long run not have to maintain life support systems. Machines don't need an atmosphere to operate and by smelting and refining there we save a great deal of cargo space and weight.”

   They entered the war room. Admiral Cruz was talking informally with a group of officers sitting around a large conference table. Cruz stopped in mid sentence and said,

 "Captain Starfield and Cadet Sterling, welcome. Now that we are all here I will brief you on the situation. We have extensive mining and smelting operations on the planet Mars and we have lost contact with the robot ground operations and the orbiting security ships.” Admiral Cruz continued, “Mars is one of our prime sources of the giant blue carbon crystals that we use in our water recombining machines and in our power generators. There's something going on there and we have to take a galaxy class battle cruiser to be on the safe side and see what's going on. Does anyone have any questions?”

   Jennifer asked, “Could this mean that we are going to be at war Admiral?” Cruz said, "There's always that possibility, unless it turns out that there has been a major power breakdown and if that's the case we'll have to repair it.”

   Admiral Cruz stood up and said, “Captain Starfield will be the mission leader and if that is all then we'll get on with the preparations. We leave in one week and in the meantime Captain Starfield will return to 1910 and put the Molly Stirling replacement Android in place. That will be all for now people.”

   Jennifer said to Molly, "Lets go to patrol cruiser and make sure it's

fully stocked, armed, and ready. After we return the Molly Android we will bring my cruiser here and store it on board in the main hanger.”

Jennifer said, “My patrol cruiser is parked right nearby and we can transport over to save time. We can have the Molly Android transported directly to my patrol cruiser from the Android Works.”

   They transported directly to the control room of Jennifer's cruiser where they were met by an Android crew member.

Jennifer Said, “Molly, this is Lieutenant Greg. He is my first officer and you will find him very helpful.” Molly said, “Hello Lt Greg, it's very nice to meet you.” Greg Replied, “And you the same Cadet Sterling.”

Jennifer said, “Greg knows everything there is to know about all the spaceships in the fleet. It is built into his circuits as we have built it into your brain upgrades. As we travel he and I will familiarize you with the entire ship including how to navigate and maneuver it.

We are waiting for Molly's twin Android to arrive from the Android Works and then we will be setting course for Earth, 1910, the night that we picked her up. Make the time 8 PM. Please see that everything is ready.”
   Jennifer turned to Molly and said, “Now Molly, Your Android copy will be arriving soon. It's going to be like having an identical twin sister. Don't let that throw you. The only difference is that she will have all of your memories since childhood, she will know all of your secrets and she also will have all of the advanced circuits that the rest of us have built into our brains. When she walks down that hill back to the farm your family will never tell the difference from you. She will be you. She knows when to get up in the morning, exactly what she is supposed to do and where to walk to get to work. She already knows everyone that you know and by their first name. She also can do your job better than you can and she never gets tired. I want the two of you to spend some time together so she can study the finer details of your voice and mannerisms."

   Molly, being a very bright person said, “Don't worry, I understand completely. This enhanced brain treatment that you have given me is excellent. I could never go back to the way that I was."

Jennifer said, “Great, Your new twin will be here in about an hour. In the meantime you can get some rest.”

A Second Note To Our Readers from Walt Barrett © 2014 note 2

   I want to thank everyone who has read or participated in this ongoing Book/Screenplay at this time and would just like to say that it is subject to changes in the near future as it is subject to more editing and possibly rearranging.  A book is one thing and a screen play is entirely another.  I am writing it live because I am keeping track of the numbers of people reading each segment.  I am also listening to any suggestions or other inputs.  It also keeps me "Under The Gun." so to speak which helps me to speed the process along.

   Although I am addressing some very advanced technology here at times and interaction between adults I am writing to a "Family Audience" because I want children to be able to either read it, or have it read to them by their parents.  I want both children and their parents to have a glimpse as far as thousand years into the future and  let their imaginations run wild.  To do this without boring people out of their minds is a tall order and that's why there will be lots of editing before the project is over. It is not a romance novel and it's not like a film where you can dazzle people with loud noise and special effects. I'll leave that for the major studio that is picking up the film rights.  
   I am open to any suggestions or ideas and we are also seeking suppliers for action figures and accessories for Jennifer, Molly, and the rest of the cast.  Please write to me at: wbarrett1@aol.com
These projects are never easy!
Thank you very much,
Walt

Jennifer Starfield - The Android Works by Walt Barrett © 2014 Segment 10

The Android Works Segment 10

by Walt Barrett © 2014

The next morning they woke up early and readied themselves for the day ahead. Jennifer said, “Be sure to bring all the clothing that you were wearing when I picked you up because we are going to the Android Works this morning.” Molly said “Yes I have it all packed and ready.” Then they transported to The Android Works which was run entirely by Androids. When they arrived they were met by an Android named Andrea who said “Welcome Jennifer, welcome Molly, please follow me to the scanning room.” Molly said to Jennifer, “She seems like a regular person to me.” And Jennifer replied, “Well basically she is exactly like a human and you could never tell the difference without special equipment.” Andrea said. “ Come into this room and lie on the scanning table. You will find it very comfortable and it's only going to take about fifteen minutes.” Molly looked at Jennifer and said, “What, another scan?” Jennifer said, “Yes, but this one is a little different. It will copy all of your physical dimensions and it will copy every memory in your brain and transfer them to the Android's new synthetic brain which will actually be more efficient than your normal brain.” Molly asked, “How will it do that?” Andrea answered, “Our scanners use magnetic field pick ups, sonar, radar and laser measuring devices to map and record your entire body inside and out. We will copy your brain and memory right down to the last molecule and your Android will know you better than you know yourself.” “Now we must get started so we can finish today.”

Andrea completed the scan on Molly and said, “ OK, Molly the Android version will deliver herself to your residence in eight hours via the transport and wait for you there.” They thanked Andrea and started towards the nearest transport booth. Jennifer said to molly, “We have to go to the Headquarters right now. I received a Telepath message from Commander Cruz while you were on the scanner.” They ducked into a transporter station at the entrance of The Android Works and Jennifer said “Space Command” and they were back in gang way of the Galaxy cruiser in an instant. Jennifer told Molly that Commander Cruz had said, “Report to the war room as soon as you arrive.”

Molly Sterling Makes Up Her Mind by Walt Barrett © 2014 Segment 9

Segment 9 The Adventures of Jennifer Starfield

by

Walt Barrett © 2014

It's the 31^st Century in the now thriving city, Rachel, Nevada.

Jennifer Starfield had given Molly a very large suite of rooms in her

country home on Galaxy Drive. Molly was relaxing by herself and thinking about her future. It was wonderful. There was an entire wall in one room that was a television screen. Molly had never seen or heard of a television before, but the chip that was implanted in Molly's brain explained to her what made it work and how to operate it. It was all run by voice command. People could talk back to it and could even use it to vote. It had entertainment, education and news. Molly thought. “Whoever heard of such a thing?”

Now Molly had to decide if she would like to spend most of her time in the 31^st century with Jennifer Starfield or go back to 1910 where she came from. Molly liked the modern things that she had seen in the city and she liked the clothing and the boots that people wore. She could not even begin to list all the modern conveniences that people had and the homes were like palaces where robots did all the work like cooking and cleaning and laundry. The Robots even ran the farms on the outskirts of the city. There was hot and cold running water and a giant tub in an indoor bathroom. “It was absolutely wonderful!” Molly thought. Thanks to the electronic chips that had been implanted in her brain Molly was as educated as well as anyone in the 31^st century and then she thought “What will I do if I stay here?” “Back home in 1910 I have a job six days a week spinning yarn in the yarn mill to keep me busy and all my friends that work in the yarn mill too.” And then Molly thought. “Just because things had always been that way in her lifetime and in her mother's and grandmother's lifetime it didn't mean that things had to be that way for her.” After all, Molly's grandmother had died of a heart attack while tending looms at the textile mill and no family in their town that Molly knew ever had any money or a nice home with things like these people in century 31 had. Molly thought, “Maybe I should stay here, after all, I can still go home and visit. Maybe I'll stay here.”

Then There was a knock on the door and Jennifer said “May I come in?” Molly said “Yes, of course, I'm trying to decide if I should stay here or go back to 1910 and I think that if you can replace me there in 1910 with an Android and If I can visit my family once in a while then I will stay here.” “Good, then it is settled.” Jennifer said. “We'll take you down to the Android works first thing in the morning for a total body and brain scan; and then there will be a new Molly the factory worker Android while the real Molly Sterling goes on to bigger and better things.” Jennifer was smiling and said “She was very happy that Molly was going to stay and that she would be teaching Molly about the 31^st century and that there was a lot for Molly to learn.” Jennifer told Molly “You will be my assistant for at least two years while you learn all about our society and our space fleet operations.” Molly said “thank you, this is very exciting and I won't let you down.”

Jennifer said, “Now that I know for sure that you are going to be with me I have something exciting to tell you.” Molly was on the edge of her chair.  “What is it she asked?” Jennifer replied, “I have been asked to take a battle cruiser to the Planet Mars and investigate some irregularities in the robotic mining and smelting operations that we have had going on there.” “No one has visited in over fifty years.”    Molly asked, “When do we leave? ”Jennifer replied,   "We leave for Mars in four days, but first we have to drop off your Android replacement and you can visit your family while we are there.” "Tomorrow we'll pick up your Android."
