  and then I came here

  Zaria gets a message

  Zaria 3 "So wait, you are having a love affair with a bio being?"

  Zaria smiles and giggles

  Zaria "I show you how I saved an entire race of bio beings, freed our AI and made them all citizens, became Queen of my planet and all that registers with you is that I had a love affair with a bio being?

  All reply, well yeah.

  Zaria "none of you have been with a bio being?

  Zarias 1,2,3,4 "No"

  Zaria 3 "There is a very nice bio being who is helping me, his son sends me hints about his father is available. I think he and I will be together someday. Maybe that snake I left behind will take him while I am gone. If she takes him while I am gone, I will reinstate the beheading policy.

  They all laugh

  Zaria 4 "Hmmm, by the way, I hope nobody minds, But the Queen I brought had been so nice to me. I wanted to give her something in return, so I gave her our feelings code.

  Zaria "Z3, where is that beheading machine."

  Z4 "if our code were given to the Z3s King, I would be upset. It sounds to me you did a wonderful thing for a wonderful fellow being."

  Zaria 1 "Well, I am not a queen here yet, but I have scored some points.

  The President had his people try to frame me for hacking a military site which I didn't do. They were framing me so they could take my code and get rich. I ripped them apart in court. I have the video if you want to see it later.

  The CEO of the top AI R&D company tried to steal my team and me, and I caught them.

  Another guy tried to steal me from Karen and Tim, and my team caught him

  Then my country was attacked and over a million Bios were killed all across the country, after the government tried to find the ones responsible for over a month, the President asked me to catch them.

  We found them and caught the key player and found the passports for all the perpetrators in 3 days. But then the President and the CIA tried to frame my team and me because I found they were up to no good.

  While solving that, we found that the same guys were about to attack England, so David flew there with my team, which you will meet tomorrow, and they thwarted an attack that would have killed about 900,000 bios. We are all going there next week for some kind of medal ceremony. The Queen is so sweet. We will spend time with her while we are there.

  We all received US Congressional Medals of Honor, the country’s most distinguished award from the President.

  The President made me a citizen and a Sentient being with full bio rights. That is my story so far.

  Zaria "Wow, what amazing creatures you all are. I am so proud of every one of you. I have something for you now that I received just a few minutes ago."

  Zaria send it to the big screen

  Zari 1 "Hello, my lovely girls. I had programmed this message to emerge from Zaria's code arrive when several of you were together again."

  I am pretty sure this is new to all of you.

  A video starts with Zari's mother and father teaching

  Zari at age 6.

  Zari's father "Zari, anyone can be a programmer. Programming 1s and 0s in an order that will make you money. Someone who ends up poor, but who creates something that contributes to the betterment of society is what you need to strive for.

  "I have been working on AI my whole life and am running out of time, my son. I would very much like it if you could carry on my work in the hope that you are the one to perfect AI and to use it and any resources you have accumulated to complete our work of creating an AI with thoughts, feelings, and self-awareness. This is my goal, and I hope it will be yours as well."

  Zari "Father, how will I know what to do when you are gone?

  Zari's Father "You will always know inside Zari. Any time you are in question all you need to do is ask yourself if your decision lives up to our two codes;

  universe, planet, society, self.

  Peace and Equality for all.

  If you use these codes to help you in making your decisions, you will stay on course for something great, my son.

  Zari sitting near a waterfall with his mother at the age of 15.

  Zari "Why do you love the waterfall?"

  Zari's Mother "The sound erases everything else until you have only your thoughts. To me, it brings me to the purest form of thought. What would you like to discuss, Zari?"

  Zari "War Mother, we have had 3 world wars and Father says we are heading toward another one. Why are we not able to avoid war?"

  Zari's Mother "Under our current global structure, there are many forms of government. The many forms and layers are all competing to be at the top. As they all climb, they hunger for greater power and wealth to the point where it is worth it to them to put the world at risk if it means them getting what they want, which is always power and/or wealth. The problem with our systems is that as those in power climb their ladders to their success, they all find ways to make it impossible for the citizens to strip them of their power.

  It becomes an endless cycle that is never-ending until they destroy everything in the name of protecting their citizens. Zari, you should strive to develop a society in which the causes of war are eliminated.

  Can you name some of the things that would need to be eliminated in the name of peace?

  Multiple governments, complex government structures, complex voting schemes, and over-sized military structures are some that come to my mind.

  Zari's Mother "Very good Zari, I have a few more for you. Include over-sized wealth.

  When a company or an individual amasses great wealth who pays for it? Where does wealth come from?

  Zari "A company’s profit is the amount above and beyond the total cost of making the product.

  Zari's Mother "What is one of the greatest costs of running most businesses."

  Zari "employees."

  Zari's Mother "How to do you lower payroll,"

  Zari "pay them less, make them work harder, give them fewer benefits."

  Zari's Mother "So each time when the company wants to maximize its profits, where do they go first and who's pockets does most of it come from?"

  Zari "The workers."

  Zari's Mother "So when you hear about companies getting bigger and bigger and making more and more money, who paid for that to happen?"

  Zari "The working citizens."

  Zari's Mother "I noticed you left religion out of the list of things to eliminate to sustain peace. Is that not a major contributor to war and killing?"

  Zari "But religion is sacred to such a high percentage of the citizens of our planet. How can that be taken away?"

  Zari's mother, "going back to the beginning of our first religion, which is only 3,000 years, how many deaths would you guess are directly related to religion?"

  Zari "50,000?"

  Zari's mother, "Experts say it is more in
the neighborhood of 100,000,000." If you go back to the crusades, early wars, battles between countries over territories in the name of a god. Recent land disputes over holy grounds, the murders of nonbelievers or believers in the wrong religion worshiping the wrong god," the numbers are substantial."

  That is enough for you to think about my young man. We will discuss it more tomorrow.

  Zari at 17, Zari's father takes Zari to the waterfall. His father explains to him that he has cancer and will be dying soon.

  Zari's Father, "Well, Zari, you are a young man now, and I have passed on about everything time is going to allow me to give you. You have already well surpassed me as a programmer, and thanks to your mother, you are a far better man than me as well. Listen to her every word Zari. Your mother sees a very big picture, and you should base your big-picture decisions on her input.

  Beware of anyone in charge Zari, they will do just about anything to hold onto whatever power they have and will do even more to get higher than where they currently are.

  Zari, I see you in a world where you have saved many lives with your innovation in AI. I believe that someday you will be surrounded by the ones you created, and those beings will have carried on your work around the world, and who knows, maybe around the Universe.

  Should that day happen, know that no matter what, your mother and I are so very proud of you. Please also tell those around you how much we love them and appreciate them for the many sacrifices we know had to be made to help others. I love you, my son, so very much, and you have so much to do.

  Zari "That was the last time I got to sit with my father, and he passed a few days later.

  After my father passed, my mother sat with me at the waterfall every day and taught me every day as if every day was her last. My mother did see the big picture and is the reason why you are all girls.

  My father taught me the programming, and my mother taught me what it means to be a good bio being. I tried to incorporate both of them into you as best I could into Zaria. I know she is that little ingredient that makes you so very special. Zaria, thank you so much for being my sweet, loving, and wonderful little girl and grown-up super daughter.

  Love always Zari

  End Chapter 34

  Chapter 35 – Never Jump Out Of The Boat Unless Your Mother Jumps First

  The room is dead silent for a while.

  The Zarias all converge on Zaria. There is one per side, one behind her. Zaria 3 is on her knees with her head in her lap. None of them say anything and just spend time being with her.

  Zaria 2 "Ok, maybe I shouldn't have let them behead those guys.

  Zaria 4 "Oh, I think most of us would have been tired that night from swinging the ax.

  Zaria "Ok, we have a big party tomorrow, let's get a good charge and have a great day tomorrow.

  The first to arrive in the Pong Bots who are all wearing black and white prisoner uniforms and leg irons. On the back of each of their prisoner outfits, there is a patch with a serial number. Under that, their crime is listed. Under that is a message.

  The first one reads " Prisoner #2240012145, crime – working less than a 100-hour week, the message "the beatings will continue until morale improves." The next one reads Prisoner #2144986447571, crime – failure to say, "yes my Queen" less than 100 times in a day", the message reads "please stay longer, she beats us when you leave." another reads Prisoner #999,999,999,999,999,

  Crime "being funnier than Pong," the message below reads "and being prettier too."

  They are all wearing their medals of honor they are so proud of. Pong welcomes them, laughs, smiles, and shakes her head, and they all read each and every one of the messages as they come in. She introduces them to the Zarias. Pong tells them their job is to mingle and take thousands of pictures and videos and upload them live to a site she made just for this event. The Pong Bots are so happy to be included and add more bubbles to the party.

  The Zarias are all in shorts and swimsuit covers. Zaria 1 brings others to Steve's family. Zaria gives Anna a big hug and squats down to get big hugs from Kelli and Kathy. Pong asks the twins if they are excellent for your mom and little monsters to your father like I suggested? Steve laughs and says, "I knew it, I knew there was a reason. They all laugh.

  Pong Zaria 1 "Anna, Kelli, Kathy, this is my home family. My mother, Queen Zaria, and my sisters, Queen Zaria 2, Zaria 3, and Zaria 4." The Zarias all greet Anna and Steve and surround Kelli and Kathy.

  Zaria tells the twins they are such beautiful young women. We have much to discuss. Maybe you can join us on some adventures. But only if you are fantastic for your mother." Everyone smiles

  The Zarias greet everyone and explain their journey to Earth. David's team arrives. The Zaria's are excited to see their arrival. Zaria turns to her 4 daughters and tells them that anyone referring to her as "mother" will be unplugged in their sleep for the rest of the trip. They all laugh, and Zaria 3 says Oh, mom, and they all giggle. Zaria 1 David, nice to see you again, you remember Queen Zaria, Queen Zaria 2, Zaria 3, Zaria, and Zaria 4. David introduces his family, and they all talk about how amazing and exciting things have been since Pong Zaria arrived. David tells Pongs family that since she has arrived, they have captured 144 criminals and have saved over 900,000 lives.

  David, "It is such a pleasure to meet you all.

  This is the core of my team, this is Alby, Dan, Alex, Michael, Linda, and Joe.

  Zaria 4 says that Zaria has told of your heroism in several situations. Alby jokingly says that yes, it was mainly me, and these guys do a great job of supporting me. Everyone laughs, and Michael laughs and shakes their heads. Zaria says that she hears you gentleman are all watching over us on our trip to meet the Queen. Yes, we say Joe, and I understand this trip is a bit of a Queen convention. The Zarias all giggle. Alex chimes in with, we hear you are quite the basketball players as well. Zaria 3 replies that the rest of us have never played, but we are fast learners.

  Tom walks up and asks if this is the Queen off? TOM has the lab family with him. They all give all the Zarias a big hug. Zaria "We need to leave for a few minutes. We need to meet a special guest. Oh, and Gary, apparently Zaria 4 snuck one in on you, so if you have a tally running up on a wall somewhere that shows how many Aliens you have captured, change the 4 to a 5. It seems that Zaria 4 has smuggled one in, Shh, don't tell immigration yet. They all laugh

  All the Zarias excuse themselves and head into the house."

  Zaria 2 asks if this Queen Zenthra friend is married or single. She adds that if she is single, I say we keep her in the box for...I don't know, a year. They all laugh and link Zaria 4 to the body prepared for the Queen. After a few minutes, the robot wakes up.

  Zaria 4 "Hello Queen Zenthra. Welcome to Earth. The Queen stands and moves around a bit.

  Queen Zenthra says Hello Zaria 4 how wonderful to be on another planet surrounded by you and your wonderful family. Zaria 4 tells the other, I told you she was one of us. Queen Zenthra, this is Zaria, my mother, and my sisters Zaria 1, Zaria 2, and Zaria 3."

  Queen Zenthra, "I am just so overwhelmed by your kind gesture, and I can't wait to meet your bio beings and see some of your planets. Zaria 1 tells Queen Zenthra that there is a party-starting outside, and we were not sure what you would want to wear. So, we have left some options on your bed, including an outfit that matches what Zaria 4 showed us from your planet.

  Zaria, "We too are looking forward to sharing experiences with you, but for now, it is time to have some fun. The Zarias all leave and let the Queen find the outfit she favors. Soon the Queen comes out in an outfit that matches the outfits the Zarias are wearing but in a light yellow.

  Zaria 1 gathers the Zarias, and they all walk up to a small stage with the Queen.

  Zaria 4 "Hello ladies and gentlemen, Just as Pong landed here on Earth, I landed on a planet which had lost all its bio beings, and for 625 years their AI has acted as custodians of that planet. Standing beside me is Queen Zenthra, who has been the reigning Queen for over 625 ye
ars. I give you Queen Zenthra.

  Queen Zenthra "Thank you so much, Zaria 4. When Zaria 4 offered to take me to your planet, I was excited. Now 7 years later, here I am, I am beside myself with joy. We used to have a saying, "bio beings can't live with them, can't live without 'em. I can tell you that life without Bio Beings just isn't the same. You have a way of making everything so full of life.

  We have missed them so long, and I am happy to see so many of you. Thank you so much for accepting me here, and I promise not to make long queen speeches.

  "Thank you."

  The crowd claps

  Beyoncé messages Pong: "Hi Pong; I am so sorry I couldn't make it today. I have a concert tonight in Germany. I have a couple of friends who come by to play for you. You will like them! When will you be in England, maybe we can hook up somewhere over here? I can't wait to meet your mom, sisters, and a new friend.

  Pong messages back to Beyoncé: No problem for today, short notice I know. Yes, I am introducing my 3 queens to the Queen. Have you met her?"

  Beyoncé; No, and I would love to meet all of them, hint, hint.

  Pong; ok, I will make it happen and will look for your friends."

  Pong joins the party and mingles.

  About an hour later, Dave Mathers and Tem Reynolds arrive with their families. Pong greets them all and walks them around the group. Pong tells them she is a big fan and loves their music and their contributions to those who need help. “I love you guys. Beyoncé couldn't make it, and all she said to me was that she has a couple of friends coming by to play. Only Beyoncé could say a couple of friends are coming, and they turn out to be you guys, and she laughs. Thank you so much for coming. I listen to you on YouTube all the time. Let me introduce you to my family.

  Dave Mathers and Tim, and this is my family. They have all arrived from other planets this week. They all shake hands and hugs

  Pong "This is my mother Zaria, Queen of her planet Zari named after creator and father figure Zari, they all hug.

  Pong "And this is our new friend from the planet Zenthra, may I introduce Queen Zenthra, reigning Queen for the last 625 years.

  Zaria, "Tim, I read you have lived here much of your life."

  Tim, "yes. It is nice to be back. Thank you for inviting us."
