Chapter Seven: Resolution
Jim understood the risks he was going to take. He was about to recreate
the same type of risk that he had engineered on the HomeWorld, the duplication
of his consciousness, as many times as was necessary for him to be able to
carry his mission forward on the limited time scale that was available to him.
Jim
determined to plum the limits of his discovery, if there were any limits to
what he had found.
The
difference between what he was doing here, on Earth, and what he had
accomplished on the Central Planet were considerable. In both locations he
needed multiple-independent nodes of action. On home world, each and every node
was connected by its field of collective consciousness.
They were a
society of one.
On Earth
their connectivity through the cynergenic field was more tenuous, it operated
on a different frequency. It was less immediate.
Though it
was possible for each unit to act autonomously on HomeWorld, to break away from
the plan, to sabotage it, he and the other members of his private cabal would
have known immediately, and while this possibility existed, there was not even
the slightest hint of defection.
On Earth he
was faced with considerable unknowns.
He cloned
himself, planting his dopplegangers in every population center around the
world, each one connected to the prime version of himself through the
cynergenic field, like on HomeWorld, only this field was weaker, there were
gaps in it, places where individuals could hide, or disappear.
He did this
in violation of the laws governing his post, if he had been discovered he would
have been destroyed, and likely the entire planet, with all of its art and
beauty.
Continuum
would have destroyed the Earth with him.
