Dimension - The Catechism
What do we know about dimension? There are many unknown vagaries to the space-time continuum that we are not aware of, probably because we do not possess the cognizance enough to even imagine one such. We extrapolate things with reference to the known 4 dimensions in our sci-fi stories and what we come out with is a parallel universe very much like our own.
Questions:
- What other qualities do you think this extra dimension might add? Would it add fluidity to your movements?
- Would it give your basic atoms the ability to disperse and re-group as you wish?
- Would it take on the qualities of not absorbing any part of the light spectrum and in turn make you invisible?
- Would it remove the limitations that you suffer due to the specific directions that you have to adhere to while following your basic brownian movement?
- Even if it did allow all these possibilities and more, would you use it to cease the current way of your living and take on a different view of things?
Would you be able to see in the new dimension?

I’m running for my life. Pity, many stories start with this one liner that by this time you’ve almost got the entire plot worked out and are reading on just to see if this writer is any better. You could be wrong. For instance you wouldn’t have imagined that there is indeed a city called Huad which exists in some version of space time, the one that you call your future. Yes, it exists already and is not waiting to be built by any human. Why? Because it is not a city that was built, it is one that grew; it has been growing since time out of time. It has been in existence in a whole new dimension separated only by a sliver of webbing that degenerated a few aeons ago. Sure, you’ve heard about it, only you didn’t realize it to be what it was. For instance, all those computers going whacko, that debauched nuclear missile attack on some far eastern country, those plague infected mice that escaped and caused the population of an entire nation to be wiped out and so on and so forth. Of course, this is assuming that you survived those holocausts and still have the equipment enough to be reading this.
So, where was I? Yup, running for my life, being chased by a teeming lot of half-life bots, moisture has eaten into their circuits and I don’t even think they are sane anymore. But then again, how do you classify machines as sane or otherwise? In fact why are they even chasing me? They are not flesh eating bots like the ones that we had to eliminate back in the 20’s. In fact these are just surveillance bots that report to the command back in Huad about the wanderings of the terrestrials. The command will then send some Gretens to take out the offenders. So why are these bots chasing me? Has my cover blown? I was careful. Must be that crazed half-life T2A13 that I trusted with to take back a message to Graceria. I was sure that I wired up the circuts properly and carefully hacked into the bot’s instruction algorithms to override the commandment protocols. So, where did I go wrong?
It was very tough to gain the machines’ trust and gain an entry into Huad in spite of me being a half-bot. Must have been my long term association with the terrestrials, but I was thorough. In fact I even killed a score of them terrestrials to gain Huad high command’s confidence. I don’t feel sorry for that so don’t try to make me by calling me a ruthless, heartless fiend. You cannot and neither do I have a heart nor a human brain for you to even attempt. Only my lower body is terrestrial, the rest is pure, Huad grown, professionally harvested, 100% Talagstenum alloy, comprehensive unit of expert machinery with an unlimited backup power supply.
