The Dimensional Escape

Chapter 1

Hello! I guess I'm going to ask this person above, to comment about my Sci-Fi story. :)) Well, I know this is a big favour I'm asking you, but I'll soon pay you! XD

Okaaay, the prologue is actually a spoiler of the story. It already contained the problem! DX I'm no good. +_+

The image beside is the White Ixora. :D

Chapter One: The Meeting

500 DE; 1000 years after...

“Mr. Peter Danes was the one who discovered Aeonius in 2012 AD,” spoke the speaker in the classroom.

History, a very boring subject; all they have to do was to memorize, memorize, and memorize. Since the beginning of time, a green-eyed boy with dark brown hair sat on his seat, slouching the best slouch he can do. He was staring nowhere, eyes darting everywhere – even on his seatmate’s chest.

“…together with his team, he lowered the toxicity rate of Aeonius, making us live,” continued the speaker. The slides changed and showed a capsule, labeled ‘Top Secret’. Next to the image was a blueprint of the said capsule. It was enough to fit one person, but curled up in a ball. The lad rolled his green eyes again. For him, it was boring. He knew that already. He had always wondered how it is to become a normal teenager typing notes in their laptop and listen to the boring lessons in fear of failing.

The genius’ name was Robert Anthony Gibson, aged eighteen, a handsome nerd, and a very lazy scientist. He’s one of the scientists that were nominated as the Best Scientist of the Year in ASI – or Aeonian Science Institute. He learnt all of the information in their e-books when he was 10 and now, he’s facing a very dreadfully inactive class that makes him so sleepy.

Whoever wins the title Best Scientist of the Year gets to be promoted to a special rank, the Nobles. Nobles were tasked to guard a special unit – a millennium-old time capsule. It contained a secret that no one knows and Nobles get to hold the key to the capsule. Though privileged, no Noble has tried opening it because a great harm will be brought to Aeonius when the capsule will be opened – or that’s what the former Nobles had said.

“Sir Anthony,” spoke Anthony’s assistant, Jane Lisborough. “Wake up; you still have a meeting with the Research Board and the King.”

Anthony barely budged. Jane urged again.

“Sir Anthony,” spoke his assistant while slowly tickling his neck, “helloooo?”

The lad shot his head up at the stimulus with dilated eyes. He stretched his arms so wide and yawned loudly. Jane merely stood up beside him, trying to stop her laughter. She found her boss funny, especially with his morning hair and traces of drool on his chin.

Jane Lisborough might be human enough to feel emotions, but she’s not. She was an android robot that was formerly made by Thomas Lisborough, a former Noble in Aeonius, which was given to Anthony as a prototype. Jane was made three years before Anthony was born and that makes her older than him. Despite the age problem, Jane still looks as young as Anthony.

The android was not as simple as it looked like. It was one hell of a very complicated project. Anthony took five whole years to complete and modify her. She has sparkling jade eyes, like Anthony’s, with a 10,000 megapixel camera connected to her Processing Unit, which works in 20,000 GB per second. Over a hundred thousand more sensors were connected to the Processing Unit; some were connected to the emotion synthesizer, Sygnileef101, which was single-handedly created by Anthony in a year. The robot was allowed to eat and drink. The food that she had taken will be undergoing chemical reactions – fusions and fissions, collection of ions, and et cetera – to produce energy. She has become like a real human, actually – except that she could not age.
