Vesha Celeste, Erin Carter, Yesha Alevtina, James Cooper, Najem Grace, Amber Blythe, Joanne Gallant, and even Senator Eliza Williams showed up to visit Sky Taylor in the Virtual Universe, as did each of the six-billion citizens of Pathway from distant locations, connected via their at-home biopods and Virtual Universe. As they connected with her they knew that everything about Sky was benevolent, heavy with compassion for humanity and life in general, and they witnessed as she grew in wisdom from the knowledge she gained and already possessed within. They appreciated the perspectives she had as well as the experiences shared that each of them had gone through and would still go through with her. They knew she would become everything anyone could ever have dreamt of for rescue, healing, communication, support, and so much more. Forty minutes of real-world time in several series was a long time in the Virtual Universe, and the training and journeys could take as long as they needed to. It could seem like two thousand years there, and during that time Yesha and everyone else showed her so many wonderful and positive things.
Yesha used every moment she could to take her through histories, show the moments of heroism and kindness in humanity, and then Vesha, Eliza, Amber, and Erin returned and did the same. They were amazed that their project had turned out so beautifully and better than dreamed, they had given life to one of the sweetest, most alluring, and kindest creatures of benevolence. With a collective consciousness, they knew each other’s’ intents and purposes. They trusted each other; they felt the love of a sisterly bond, the kind of bond sisters should have—a bond of kindness, of respect, of understanding, and of compassion and a desire to protect each other from the worst no matter how things could ever be. They also understood their various missions and knew that there would be many occasions and elongated-moments when they would have to be apart from each other for long periods of time. They appreciated James and had great respect for each person, man, woman, child, elderly, young, no matter identity or affiliation because they shared the same Universal Ethics and admired each other for their unique differences.
No matter where their missions and journeys sent them, there would always be neural links and the Virtual Universe available and accessible, so they could see one another, experience their care for each other, their respect for the marvels and miracles they would be expected to perform, and they would be able to visit for brief periods of time at any moment they needed to.
Sky, Vesha, Erin, Eliza, Amber, James, Joanne, and Yesha all agreed with each other that they would regularly link and share their thoughts, their memories, forgive and forget folly, and train each other in the sciences, the histories, and make sure that compassion was an emphasis.
The entire compendium of knowledge, skill, experience, and wisdom was downloaded to Sky’s mind, during this time, and she was able to act as a mobile biopod and Virtual Universe interface, to provide neuro- and bio-interface healing, optimizations, and neural links for human beings and animals, birds, marine life, and any living thing, no matter where she happened to be. She was able to use her powerful lasers to read and re-encode DNA, heal neural damage, impart tactile reference and muscle memory while dreaming, and turn compassion and persuasion up a few notches for anyone in need and to anyone she would ever meet. She would never take away anyone’s will—she would merely work as a fine-tuning graphic equalizer for the brain to mitigate all manner of neurological disorders and genetic misfires, essentially repairing damage and converting the body’s “garbage” to useful molecules in appropriate areas of the body, helping them to communicate optimization of organs, strength, dexterity, with minds full of clarity of thought and a sense of purpose that lent toward the well-being of others. If she ever met anyone, they would have a crystal-clear clarity of what it was that they needed or wanted to do to contribute to the arts, sports, or the sciences and to society, and enjoy doing it—because their life would now be a life of purpose and joy.
Sky could fly, she could become invisible, she could run speedily, she had no weaknesses, and could fend off armies without killing a soul. Sky could do so much more and would learn and update and upgrade herself as well as others since she was able to perceive their needs and desires.
Meanwhile, away from all of this, away from the Virtual Universe and away from Pathway, the fact remained that the legislative branch was still a long-time coming and very sluggish with regard to proliferating biopods with Virtual Universe interfacing and tactile reference—which would connect willing biopod occupants to a selection of Health, Education, Commerce, Entertainment, and Correctional Matrices, and more. Eventually, Eliza would find a way to introduce these to everyone.
The Correctional Matrix had been completed two years prior, with Joanne Gallant leading the team. It had been tested on the poor soul who shot Vesha, and now he was on Enceladus leading a science team toward the last stages of creating an environment much like Earth, to be able to walk freely without fear of freezing to death, all the while creating a protective barrier to ensure any pre-existing wildlife or sentient life or their ecosystem on Enceladus would not be damaged. In a twist, he would eventually work with one of Sky’s daughters, Belinda Taylor, develop positive rapport with the Enceladians, and create a peaceful form of communication and shared purpose.
Something in Eliza’s mind had reawakened while with Sky Taylor. Her plans of an extensive overhaul of the prison system when she became president, would be an overhaul that Sky and her team would have the skills to oversee. The world was still in chaos and filled with so much suffering, despite the immense growth of Pathway and the lives they had saved. When Sky discovered how things were becoming, she felt a moment of anguish too, and sought to spend time with Eliza at her home in Massachusetts, sitting down with her in her garden. Together in the real-world, they meditated for hours, listened to the birds, the frogs, and the waterfall, and began to sing favorite tunes from Depeche Mode’s Spirit album, “Where’s the Revolution!” to include “Poorman,” some New Age, as well as one of Erin’s favorite tunes, “New Day,” with music by Rafael Frost, sung by trance vocalist, Sarah Lynn, and specifically the radio edit from 2016.
As this occurred, it just so happened that Sky had tapped into Eliza’s mind and was able to understand all of her concerns and worries, due to the Twelve-Database-Moon-download to her brain. Sky identified burgeoning issues and compiled all necessary informational resources to prepare to go on visits throughout the United States. Sky had been overwhelmed by the shared sorrow of Yesha and Eliza, when for a time they were in there, all-three together. After seeing more fully within their minds, she planned to change a few other minds within the US. Unfortunately, the country was currently run by many high-powered entities with deep wallets that had huge monetary and clandestine means of influencing non-UP legislators, and all with Anti-Pathway designs and machinations. The people, in name, were not in control. There was something more devious, sinister, greedy, and lusting for continued power at any cost, pulling the strings, and she was determined to take measures to heal their minds, no matter the effort. Sky had purpose.
In that moment, Sky Taylor extended her link and became Eliza’s covert operative, with plans to keep much of it to herself, since she was capable of creating neural blockers, joining minds, healing them, and repairing the body. She became Pathway’s overt darling and poster girl.
Perhaps in some ways against the wishes of Eliza, due to ethical norms and a deep and coherent understanding of the error of society’s ways, Sky covertly found out who it was that was creating obstacles for progress, tracked those individuals down, traced the obstacles to the true source, and “marked” them. After she marked them, the job was essentially done. They’d be left with an iridescent scorpion on their right buttock cheek and would find new sanity in life and purpose within their minds—their new qualities would now be bereft of narcissism, sociopathic tendencies, psychotic behavior, condescending nature, lack of care for anyone but themselves, and no matter the issue, now their minds would be healed. Gone would be
their desire to pad their wallets and sate their lust for power through dummying down the populous, each of their non-virtues would dissipate in exchange for compassion, high intelligence and very enviable persuasion skills. Their brains were healed, and bodies given twenty years of physiologic health and youth.
With Sky doing what she did best, it didn’t take long before the US and its policies seemed to be back to resolving issues, looking out for the welfare, educational quality, and the healthy work environment of every citizen. Although, many minds weren’t as keen or as sharp as Eliza’s or Vesha’s, at least things were a little more manageable, and people began to realize the beauty that they had already possessed from within throughout their lives.
Once things looked like they were back to where they needed to be and the situations in the nation had turned into one of adults behaving like adults—talking things out with dignity and respect to negotiate win-win solutions to resolve problems for a better future in the U.S., and once Eliza seemed to be satisfied with US social, political, and cultural environments, Sky reported back to Eliza, Yesha, James, Erin, Amber, Joanne, and Vesha—where Vesha actually reached them via the communications bridge between the Kuiper Belt of asteroids, not too far from Pluto, and Earth.
Vesha had been eyes-deep in mission-research, aside from gathering materials for other developing projects in space. James would visit her often, asking questions about Eliza, and always finding a pleasant exchange. As noted before, Eliza in one of her committees worked with the head of the CIA. After much deliberation, she was able to persuade their Director to allow Sky Taylor to become commissioned as Chief of Antiterrorism and Officer of Diplomatic Relations—for this, she visually expressed the attire considered to be government-professional and dressed to impress.
After building a relationship with the Director, Sky began to go on many “excursions” to many countries over the next year, and after a few brief detours, she would continue her missions leading all the way to the elections of 2024. During this time, Sky engaged in missions and quests—each noble of a story of its own. She mostly worked covertly and would disappear with permission from the CIA as a field operative, undetectable by the human eye. Cameras could not detect her, and neither could any form of identifying-device. Due to her ability to mimic untraceable waves around her persona, she would only be visible when she wished to be seen.
Sky, one after another, infiltrated every autocratic and dictator-led country, every country led by tyrants, and every country ripe with terrorism. When Sky had seen the suffering of humanity in Eliza’s heart and mind, it left an indelible mark on her, the likes of which could only be culled by harmony and peace. She chose not to disguise herself as a diplomat, an aid worker, or anything other than that which she saw herself as, as an Iridescent Angel. She did this, only in the minds of those she encountered, who were in need of rescue. On any occasion where she needed to show her true identity, she would generate her Pathway governmental liaison-created image, wearing her government wardrobe holograph and become the otherwise striking beauty she always was, with blonde hair and iridescent locks and highlights, in a white blouse and navy striped pantsuit.
Maintaining her cover well, and conducting all of her actions covertly, her super intelligent and very forward-thinking mind could predict with near one-hundred percent precision what would happen if she failed to achieve successful results. She did not want the mistreatment of any ordinary and helpful human being, by those of malicious intent, so she chose to thwart that by appearing as someone who was otherwise innocent. Sky would never mimic another’s appearance for disguise, instead, she would be unique, intelligent, creative, and herself.
Just as she did in the United States, even though there were no other reasons beyond her love for humanity to do so, she didn’t need to do what she chose to do. However, Sky worked diligently anyway, since her systems were still new, and researched every file again via the Twelve Database Moons using the Virtual Universe and within the many high-level law-enforcement and governmental agency databases, as well as the databases of every single governmental or citizen-based detective and protective agency. She did this to have a complete and up-to-date background and dossier on each terrorist and each individual within their organizations identified, written, and compartmentalized within a small sector of her mind, so she could have starting points that would impact the well-being of the most people in the shortest amount of time. One by one, she would visit the most influential, the most ruthless, the most fraudulent, and so many more of so many brands of maliciousness—she would visit them all, every member, every leader, and even the people who suffered under their rule and the terror they promulgated, as well as the victims of their circle of influence. She could easily turn invisible and undetectable, sneak into their homes, and at the precise moment do what needed to be done.
Murder and mayhem weren’t her method. Instead the people of influence with no desire for the well-being of anyone else, the miscreant leaders, managers, politicians, and lobbyists, the terrorists, the gang members, the cartel members, the insurgents, and anyone filled with violence and gore toward others in their wake, she would give them a sense of tiredness, until they and their leaders fell asleep. Once safely and securely at rest, she would render each of the people in the area unconscious, causing them to sleep in a beautiful and peaceful slumber. While unconscious, she would heal their minds, cure them of any disease, render their physiological system healthier and more youthful, increase their compassion, their compunction toward consent, their ability to persuade, and open their minds to the clarity of a one-hundred percent engaged, kind, advancing, and peaceful society.
Her first stop was a small village to the northwest of the central mountains of Afghanistan, north of the Hari River and west of the Jam River. The understanding she had gained through research and analysis of information derived from the very small neural links she’d dispersed throughout the region from mind to mind was unnoticed by anyone and they gave her untold networks of information and a magnified and accurate intuition with a powerful sense that there was a young woman whose life was in jeopardy. She knew she needed to rescue her, and soon. The potential was rich within her young mind and it was something that was so unique she did not want to see this girl’s life jeopardized. She had the ability to be an amazing influence within that region, and in the future many more regions throughout the Universe. Off went Sky Taylor, using teleportation unique to her, but only for so long, to rescue as many lives as she could. The potential for a beautiful future was just within reach of human in existence, and all thanks to Sky Taylor, the Iridescent Angel, who would the heal hearts and minds of so many more and make this future more possible than ever before.
Chapter 46: Shayeena Arezo, Section 1
Database Moon Archive, Celestial-Sol Date: 2022 July 24. Erin Carter and Joanne Gallant, Pathway President and VP, summarize the experiences of Shayeena Arezo and one of Sky Taylor’s many critical journeys through 2023. We also learn of Khalim Aliah. These memories are from many Pathway Leaders, recorded within the Virtual Universe, interfaced within Pathway Melrose Campus. Input by: Erin Carter, VP, 2018-2022, and President of Pathway, 2022-2029.
Shayeena was born on November 16, 2004, in a small village clinic, fifty kilometers east of Firozkah, in an oppressive-regime-and-extremist-controlled location within Afghanistan.
She was raised on the family farm—which was passed down from generation to generation, with several thousands of acres of wheat fields, forestation, and a lot of large rocky terrain.
Throughout her life, she found that she was both blessed and grateful that her environment was what it was. There were a number of windmills with milling capabilities dotting the farmland and streams of irrigation everywhere that came from the Hari River which lay to the south of the farm. The borders of her family’s farm were located just outside of the east limit of the village. Shayeena’s family home was located behind several groves of trees and a large rock wall around thei
r acreage provided security from unsuspecting trespassers. The property of the farm she grew up on had a border that extended to the south for four kilometers, on to the shores of the Hari River, and to the north three kilometers from the home. It also extended east from the outskirts of the village to her home for one kilometer, and from the home, it sprawled further east for another seven kilometers to the Lost Minaret of Jam—where the Jam and Hari Rivers met. To the south of the Jam River were many mountains and forests, as this village sat northwest of the mountains that lay to the center of Afghanistan.
Shayeena’s father inherited the farm, the land, the home, and the estate from his father, when his brothers had each traveled to different countries and never returned. He had been left the sole heir of the estate. When her father had met Shayeena’s mother, her parents had been very proud to have him marry her. They knew he would take good care of their daughter. His father married her mother when she was just twelve years old, in 1982. However, Shayeena’s father had seen the mistreatment of women rampant in this part of the country and knew that he had to be cautious when providing a more humane existence to her mother. He had her do things overtly, so she would fit in with the village, but in secret, he taught his wife how to read, how to do mathematics, and all that he knew about the stars and astronomy. He treated her as a friend and grew to love her deeply and she him by the time she was twenty-one. During those first seven years of marriage Shayeena’s father not only protected her mother, but he had honored, respected, and treated her kindly. In many ways, there was a lot of hard work on his part to do so ever so carefully so he wouldn’t give away the fact that he didn’t agree with the teachings from the oppressively-influenced Imam. Plus, with literally thousands of acres of crops to sew, tend to, and harvest alone, he had little time to go to the village anyway, and he worked a lot while her mother made sure the home was well taken care of and the family had plenty to eat and drink.
