CHARACTERS AND PLACES
A Solar system on the same spiral arm of the Milky Way as man’s old solar system.
Time period >50,000 earth years (52233) beyond first migrations from earth world to Mars thence beyond using Musk Jr’s primitive steel canister transports to first head out of their Solar system.
Human inhabited planets -Toigan my home 1st planet - has 2 moons Crete and Silvera both uninhabited.
- Baclet planet near by human inhabited
- Threeme 3rd Planet lightly inhabited with 3 moons.
1st moon Trat with excellent mining good breathable environment,
2nd moon Buboni smaller thin atmosphere lots of radiation,
3rd moon Tsatvik with low oxygen 12% and high carbon dioxide has zinnbeest and vishes which are predators and scavengers.
- Vishnuk exotic lifeforms and off limits to humans
- Vutu home of vishes and other dangerous predators
On Toigan the humans are mostly categorized as
1.Moderns- live up to 300 years and are genetically enhanced with chromosomal telomeric improvements since in utero with special vaccines and gene splicing and encouragement of unique and make up approximately 80% of the population ll
2.Noncoms - nonconformist types who make up 19.9% of the population and are often anti vaccination anti enhancement types, who nevertheless have evolved more naturally from original humans from earth.
3.Badjans - 0.1% of the population are outlaw types who distance themselves from ordinary society and often includes criminal elements from mostly the Noncoms plus a few who were originally Moderns. They often live away from normal society like in the badlands beyond Bahoe district and often prey on their neighbors
Noncoms
JONAH’S parents - Jonah Sr and Elma Capri own 600 acre mostly fruit farm in Dudemar. They are followers of Lord Meneer and his 30 disciples. O
JONAH’S older adopted brother MOOG and his friend Juliana.
JONAH’s schoolmates and friends- CHARLIE who created his AI robot FETCH
and RUSTON whose parents are factory grown meat farmers.
Mehia 16 yo three houses away from Jonah who had a crush on him but ended up in love with Dillion
Nearby villages to Dudemar include:
Minorcaville - where Moog’s parents farm is located
Vinceland - 15 min walk away where Charlie lives and where their school building is located. Fetch is his robot.
Monrepo - nearby village
City of Pommerose 1 1/2 hours drive away by Jonah’s Dad old smoker car. Jessi lives in the suburbs, and the others of the group of SIX live within the city limits.
Bahoe- a rural rough former mining region mostly mountainous about six villages away from Dudemar and rumored to be the hideout of Outlaw Badjans.
Fenway Control Center in Bahoe used for training
Moderns
JESSI’S parents- Jace and Susan Wentworth both professors. He can translocate his body, is a weak Telepath and has done some space travel and has created very advanced AI simulator software to prepare others for space travel.
Susan is a stronger Telepath ( mind reader, psychic communicator)
Other than Jonah who is a Noncom, the others of Team Six are all Moderns. Other moderns of note, include:
Amalae - a pilot of dashers (agricultural drones) who first scouted the brilliant and unexpected talents of Jonah Capri at the age of 5, when he took her console and flew her dasher effortlessly.
Amalae’s boss and his associate - Mr. Morgan and Mr. Waple, who came to assess Jonah themselves and make initial contact with the power brokers in the society who could recruit Jonah.
Badjans
Gooch -who lives in Bahoe is a gifted modern renegade
Benton- agricultural and transport pilot who works for Mr Waple
Scanlon - In Northumbria
Juwait - his deputy
Ednet - Toigan’s mostly AI artificial intelligence based system of providing basic standardized and advanced Education at home and at school premises.
Defnet - defense network for planet of Toigan interplanetary outward looking
Securinet - multiplicity of police type, coast guard and satellite plus drone surveillance network for villages, cities and thence globally to protect all citizens.
Playernet - intraplanetary games and competitions from village to global online.
TEAM SIX
JONAH CAPRI- a Noncom 6’0”, who has special intrinsic telepathic powers to both read and influence others minds plus is able to ‘bond’ mentally with electronic and electrical circuits thus troubleshooting problems and commanding them to his will. Lately, he has grown, after the Immersion and interaction with the other five to sense electronic/ electrical power and magnetic energy from a distance. Heavily tanned dark outdoor type used to farm work, hunting and fishing in Dudemar.
JESSI WENTWORTH - 5’8”, met and bonded telepathically with Jonah during the Immersion, a gorgeous chocolate hued big eyed young lady also with expanding powers. A love interest of Jonah and possibly Mader.
MADER - 6’2”, inventor, brilliant who has already contributed to technology for speeding up interplanetary transport raising speeds to 0.7 of a lightyear using transmuted energy from space itself whether from magnetic auras, any kind of electromagnetic radiation of all spectrums using AI with special collectors mounted on spacecraft. He has the ability to mentally bond with, build and interact with all types of AI systems thus commanding improved efficiency in achieving scientific goals. He can send charges of energy into both living systems like plants and animals as well as inanimate objects, being able to sense their energy potential. Also evolving powers ca
n drain energy too. Tall, very dark, with strangely blue eyes.
His eventual mate is Adrianna of Five.
CHERESE - 5’2”, telepath, telekinetic able to move objects and people, senses gravity and has antigravity powers. Fell in love with Arthur of Five.
DILLION - 5’8”, strong interest in agronomy with an incredible sense of smell, already has programmed AI sniffer technology for police work and perfumery industry. Some telepathic ability and growing his repertoire of abilities. Super fast healer. Grew up being a neighbor of Cherese and is a close friend and confidant of hers. Moonfaced, slit eyed, thick dark long hair and pale skinned as well as chubby. Developed friendship with Jonah’s noncom neighbor Mehia.
MATT - 5’10”, power to detect vibrations of all types, sound waves in air water and land, infrasound in all mediums as well as magnetic variations with growing telepathic and other powers. He is super friendly and the entertainer.
The Six - together combined powers to be able to think speak to each other, translocate their bodies, draw in energy from many sources then concentrate it and beam it back elsewhere. They also began to enjoy faster healing and discern invisible cloaks as they bonded and trained together drawing on each other’s known and latent strengths.
Council of Scientists representatives
CHOKA-telekinesis and JONGI telepathy
Their Director of Security for all of Toigan- Mr. Ronald BREECHER -cloaker in chief and teleporter, weaker telepath.
Proxima Centauri is more than 4 light years away from our sun and is in the Alpha Centauri Tri-Star system and has Proxima b as one of 2 planets so far discovered.
Traveling at 25 miles/Sec away from Earth and Mars with stops in the Oort Cloud and beyond to reprovision their fuel, water and other supplies, it took our early humans more than 1000 earth years to get to the Proxima Centauri system using mostly primitive chemical engines and plant their first real colony. Their engine technology subsequently evolved focusing on fusion reactors involving the ejection of subatomic and atomic particles using electrical and magnetic guiding forces, at very high velocities, thus pushing their interplanetary crafts at high speeds allowing humans to conquer more territory faster. They were able to gallop ahead from then on, with spread a further 20 light years beyond in Man’s quest for survival, adventure, discovery and wealth.
Threeme- planet with three moons same sun system as Toigan , 1st moon Trat with excellent mining good breathable environment, 2nd moon Buboni smaller thin atmosphere lots of radiation, 3rd moon Tsatvik which has a low oxygen at 12% and high carbon dioxide atmosphere, also has predators and scavengers zinbeests and vishes.
Team FIVE
Arthur- 5’9” slightly plump ( interested in Cherese)
Wesley- 6’ 1” dark, swarthy, black eyes, thick black hair, outdoorsy type.
Serena- tall 5’9”, sharp featured, brown skin, intelligent eyes.
Dorothy- 5’6” stoutly built, short dark hair, boyish appearance, dark skin, roundish face, chinky eyes.
Adrianna- 5’3”, short, very dark hair, thick shapely eyebrows, dark eyes, tanned. (Mader’s crush)

JONAH of TOIGAN
Toigan a planet 20 light years further out on the spiral arms of the Milky Way to old earth.
On our planet of Toigan, there are regular folks making up 80% of the population called ‘Moderns’, who participated in society fully; there were ‘non- conformists’ who chose to avoid enhancements both of a genetic nature and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based programming plus body and mental arming, some even were anti-vaccination. On Toigan they were called ‘Noncoms’ and there are a tiny percentage of people mostly noncoms who are called ‘Outlaws’, who truly lived rough off the land as scavengers, kidnappers and murderers though less than 0.1% of the population.
‘Noncoms’ therefore made up roughly 20% of the Toigan population. Since they eschewed some, if not all of the benefits of our advanced society, they generally ended up being relegated to less cerebral and more menial occupations often involving vegetable farming and protein manufacturing plus the service industry. Lots of their youngsters as they grew into teen years however, opted for the enhancements. That meant that those noncoms were already behind in the competition to reach their maximal potential, as they would have missed the early genetic enhancements available in childhood. Occasionally, because of natural mutations a kid from the ‘Noncom’ group, proves to have innate gifts. I am Jonah and I am one such kid.
My father Jonah Sr and Mom Elma Capri are simple folks coming from a long line of farmers, growing fruits and honey, supplementing their income by hunting and fishing. We are also Meneers worshipping the Lord Meneer and his disciples, all 30 of them. We all follow the moral code of our faith dutifully and mostly participate in society. Since I could remember, maybe around the age of 5, when my father had to call in the flyers with their remote controlled dashers to spray the orchards due to an infestation of locooms that were destroying the farm and one of them called Amalae allowed me to handle the console, I wanted to be a flyer! I got to help program the flight path skirting around the hills and large trees. The lady flyer Amalae was amazed at my inherent skills and told my Dad that I should be given some training. She told him that even among the enhanced moderns as she was, it would be unusual to have a kid of my age show this much talent. My Dad thinking that maybe it could prove beneficial to him and his fellow farmers in the long term was pleased, though he was personally against all that genetic and surgical enhancement that the Moderns allowed on their children.
I remember praying to Lord Meneer for my dad to allow me to become a flyer. You see, all I had to do was simply look at the console and somehow mentally command the dasher to fly up down and sideways as I looked at the topographic map on the little screen. Even Amalae had to control it by a ‘little joystick’ as she called it. Somehow I could in her presence, just seem to know what she herself would have commanded the dasher to do. She never could understand, how without training, that I could have known how high to fly, how much of the chemical flow rate to allow and how to change flight pattern based on wind changes. I never did let her know exactly how it did it. She begged my Dad to allow me to be taken to the advanced training programs, so that they could test me. Obviously she must have alerted the authorities as to my incredible ability, since over the years she and others from the education department made regular treks to meet my Mum and Dad to see for themselves my abilities.
Anyway my Dad needed me at the farm as I was their only natural child and their second helper alongside Moog, who they had adopted at age 1 before I was born. His parents had died in an accident on their farm in Minorcaville. Moog was already aged 11, a big brother compared to me at age 5 when the dasher incident occurred. We lived far away in a rural township of Dudemar, in the heart of fruit growing country, very comfortable with the routines of farm-life, taking my schooling mostly at home via Ednet plus one or two days physically attending school.
Thankfully my parents were not extremist in their views and believed in vaccinations for us all and although they did not like genetic enhancements which mostly entailed shots with viruses that would splice beneficial DNA into a person’s cells so that it became part of a person’s genome. They allowed most of those for me once I turned 10, when I expressed my wish to have it. Moog wanted no part of that in his body. But then, Moog didn’t want to become a Flyer and certainly had no interest in becoming an interplanetary explorer! That last dream I did not share with my parents until age 11! I guess I have always been a bit coy and tight lipped about my desires around everyone. Maybe it was because I could somehow know what they would were thinking, before I opened my mouth! I had that ability to connect to others minds, for better or worse.

The preparation for immersion
Several days ago, when we were being hooked into our programmers at the immersion center, there was excitement mingled with fear as to whether we were sufficiently prepared for the bombardment about to befall our little brains. We understood the possibility danger of brain damage for the few who somehow just could not tolerate their bodies being filled with chemicals to encourage rapid dendritic and synaptic build, goaded on by an array of magnetic and electrical pulses to have this rapid imprint of layers upon layers of information. I thought of how guilty my Mum Elma would feel and how devastating it would be, if I had a fatal or catastrophic reaction necessitating euthanasia. It has happened before to other families. However transmission of knowledge at this level of complexity to allow running this planet world Toigan with our increasing database, could only be done this way. There was no other technique available yet to ensure that our young folks had a way of amassing the required information and wisdom. Traditional school as carried on eons ago, had given way to more scientific ways of imparting packets of knowledge to young folks whose bodies and brains had been expertly prepared over minutes and days. This process involved using our supercomputers linked to our extensive AI net learning with the aid of special anesthetic drugs, DNA manipulation and magnetic and electrical induction techniques.
