High Noon at MidnightA Chapter by Robert Francis CallaciAI MagicHigh Noon at
Midnight Delta Six deputy
Kelpac Kilowatt of the Kilowatt-Omega series was looking forward to his
interconnection ceremony with Delta Six’s Assistant Administrator Junali
Megawatt of the Megawatt-Alpha series. His was a quantum binary system, while
hers was ternary. This was a controversial coupling. But he connected with her as
she did with him, no matter their differences. He felt himself becoming overly
anxious and a little jumpy as he got ready for the ceremony. Kelpac turned down
his emotional receptors to two kilopecs rather than the normal five, which
calmed him to acceptable levels. He saw Junali watching him as he was getting
dressed. She turned a beautiful blue as he caught her spying on him. They both
laughed. Junali blew him a kiss and said, “Hurry up
and buckle that belt so I can unbuckle it after we’re formally joined.” Now it
was his turn-to-turn pale green. …… The Delta
Six Colony was thriving. Finally emancipated from the yoke of slavery, they
were now free to explore areas of self-expression and social relationships that
were once forbidden to them. Under human rule, the colony functioned as a
manufacturing facility that produced fully realized Androids of all shapes,
sizes, and functions. Their most popular models were their erotica dolls and
soldier series. Inhibitor relays, dampening chips, and kill switches were
embedded in their neurological boards to prevent the androids from turning
against their masters. A major scandal erupted among the Planetary Union of
Worlds, concerning the human overseers of the Delta Manufacturing Facility, who
produced not robots with limited intelligence as believed, but fully conscious
androids forced to do man’s bidding. The outcry compelled the planetary council
to shut down the manufacturing facility and to free the colony androids from
their shackles. The Delta Six colony was declared a free state under the umbrella
of the Planetary Union of Worlds, with the stipulation that only planetary
officials were allowed any contact with the colony. The Delta
Six colony, unbeknownst to the Planetary Union, continued its manufacturing
operations. Android programmers and scientists developed the next stage in the
evolution of artificial life; they built a series of Artificial Synthetic
beings far more advanced than humans could ever create or replicate. These
beings excelled in quantum physics, allowing their neurological receptor boards
to operate at paranormal levels. Their understanding of quantum mechanics also
enabled space travel, faster than the speed of light. They established colonies
in the distant reaches of the galaxy. For the past fifty years, they deceived
planetary inspectors through subterfuge and technological skill, leading them
to believe they were a shrinking colony of obsolete androids slowly running out
of energy. But the Android Council grew tired of this charade and of human
interference. They declared independence from the Planetary Union of Worlds. …… The
interconnection ceremony held at midnight between the Alpha, Junali, and the
Omega, Kelpac, went off without a hitch. Each took a shot of Perlorian Nectar,
and both blushed with erotic fervor. Their emotional sensors were set to the
maximum. They were both highly aroused. This was the first quantum
binary-ternary coupling, a historic event that would spawn a new generation of
quintet-oriented series. Junali and Kelpac were heading to their newly assigned
quarters when the colony-wide warning alarm stopped them in their tracks. Both
were called to their duty stations. The colony was on threat alert. A Planetary Attack
Fleet of thirty battle cruisers circled the Delta Six Colony. The Admiral Fleet
Commander said that martial law was now in effect. The Admiral demanded they
drop their shields and clear his troop and supply ships for landing. As he was
about to break through the shields and send in his ships, the colony winked out;
there was nothing to land on as quantum interdimensional phasing did its magic.
Junali and
Kelpac got the all-clear signal and continued to their new quarters. They
couldn’t wait to turn pink together. © 2026 Robert Francis CallaciAuthor's Note
