The Core: The First Guest by Perditaveritas

❖2021 Watty Awards Shortlist❖ Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. --- So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn't age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth's hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science.

"Heart"

5 parts Complete

The robots were made for ill people. When a person reached an illness unable to cure, they injected them with a Brevital sedative, then proceeding to transfer their life, energy and appearance into a blank robotic slate. Fixing looks, personality traits and horribly adapted emotions, scientists created the animatronics. That was until lead scientist Len, moved by the appearance of a young ill girl, Rin, created an animatronic girl with the first ever computerized heart. A 'special' program. "I'm not an Aries. I'm not a Taurus, Gemini or a Cancer. I'm not a Leo either, nor am I a Virgo or a Libra. I'm not a Scorpio or a Sagittarius, or a Capricorn, Aquarius or Pisces. Because I wasn't born. I was made, wasn't I?"
