Introduction

The Space Elevator Conference is less than two weeks away. Connecting Earth and Space is a long carbon ribbon, lifting the Black Box, the largest information center, into space. Everything is connected to the blackbox, stock markets, people, everything. The blackbox has become a part of people’s everyday life. People do not do anything without consulting the blackbox. Humans are connected to the blackbox through an RFDI chip implanted in their necks. Then... snap.

In the age of future domini, scientists have discovered astrological mechanisms. Astrology, discovered 12000 years ago was kept as a secret from the world . . . the same thing is happening in the future. Scientists realized the planets had the ability to affect human behavior. They soon worked out how to harness these effects to exert subtle control over the population.

Ven, a professional astronaut working for the space travel agency, has been employed to help design a space elevator for the Al Aswad group. A revolutionary Earth-to-Space transportation system which consists of a specially designed carbon ribbon, 100,000 km long, strung between an anchor on Earth and a counterweight in space. After four years of work, the space elevator is finally built, allowing cheap transport of cargo beyond the earth's orbit and then to the moon.

Many powerful men are interested in building more elevators. On the Pacific Ocean near the equator, there was a whole new city, Nueva Ecuador, created between a series of space elevators. The future has come. The Moon is quickly developed into a shopping center soon becoming an expensive elite destination.

Sun Technologies discovers the astrological mechanisms by which the planets affect humans' behavior, and works out how to harness these effects to exert subtle control over the population using a dust of artificial gravity-inducing nanobots. The Nueva Ecuador government buys the research and starts constructing The Black Box, the supercomputer controlling the virtual reality in which all humans live and interact with each other. The blackbox is lifted to moon by the elevator. Since humans live entirely within the software, the worth of each individual is entirely in their intellectual property. Elite, who lives on the moon do not want humans controlling on the moon. They want to enjoy in traditional beauty of the life.

The elevator's power supply, ITER2, spontaneously creates a magnetic monopole and the chain reaction snaps the carbon-ribbon. The elevator's top station flies off, hitting the moon and knocking it out of orbit. Catastrophe begun, but catastrophe was an honest lie for ordinary people. People must evacuate and quickly find sanctuary elsewhere. Without enough space shuttles to take everyone, the only Army allows only those of standing, such as the Politicians, Generals, Actors, and Sports stars, to be transported. Therefore, the Army has invented total chaos on the Earth to mask the situation and to have time to deal with thing they only want.

Years ago, Ven had predicted this, was trapped, and contained by Black Box discrimination agents and cryogenically frozen, marked for deletion – her body was stored on the Black Box along with those of the rich, famous, and terminally ill.

Without the moon, Earth has lost her stable gravity: the tides go wild, astrological phenomena go haywire, and the planet's rotation speeds up, throwing the global climate into disarray and causing the total extinction of life on Earth.

Eight hundred years later, the robotic scientists guarding the Black Box activate it and unthaw Ven. Ven is disoriented and confused, looking at all the other faces, richer and more famous than she, still frozen in units. She does not understand why they are all still frozen. The robots explain that they now govern the space shuttle that has survived the catastrophe on Earth.

Ven, previously marked for deletion, is the only surviving technician who has lived on Earth. She is needed for a mission: to find the resources needed to start rebuilding civilization where they going to thaw others from the freezer. The red blue planet has been prepared for colonization. With different gravity and weather, wildly abnormal bestial species have appeared, as the planet was planted with DNA cell seeds from the past of planet Earth.

On the way to new red blue planet, Ven went into comma, and entered into a universal astral mind, where she got the message with visions of the near future. ''Many religions have an end-of-the-universe prediction. Many religious beliefs are cataclysmic, and some theists do not view the various scientific theories about the end of the universe as contradicting their belief in an unending cycle of apocalyptic destruction and re-creation. The Universal message is showing her planets of the solar system and the way of governing them. The universal astral voyage was a plan to create a new genetic fetus by New World Order by Sun Technologies who have reborn in the software industry creating and selling the Earth people a glory pyramid of new way of live in freedom without moon.

Prolog

In today’s headlines: Murder: Astrologers rated killers as Good Guys? The Kansas City Committee has ordered a skeptical inquiry into death row inmates titled Astrology on Death Row. The committee contacted two professional astrologers, Sun and Sir, and provided them with birth data of convicted murders. They received one chart in particular, that of Joy Grace, one of the worst convicted serial killers in American history, and were surprised at the results. The birth chart showed that Joy Grace was described as having a well-rounded personality and he would be a good role model. The chart went on further to discuss that Joy would be an excellent choice for working around young people, which by chance, was the exact group that Joy targeted in his murdering spree.

Chapter 1

Ven Meets Mar

At the Giza Pyramids, a tour leader is explaining the astrological meaning behind their construction, . . . 12 equal segments known as astrological signs, the tour leader says as he points towards the sky. The name of the astrological sign corresponds to the pronominal, constellation that is located in each of the segments, he shows his watch to the group as a demonstration. Every analogue alarm clock requires basic key elements that work together to allow us to set the clock's alarm to trigger at a particular future time. These are: a clock-face, calibrating point i.e. like the 12 o'clock start position on a stop-watch, a reliable timing mechanism, clock hands showing current time, and an 'alarm hand' to indicate a specific future time, the tour leader sweeps his hand around to show the group the pyramids, What you see here is The Astronomical 'Alarm' Clock.

In another part of the world at Zadar, Croatia, there plays the sea organ. The sea organs play musical sounds with the help of the wind and sea. They are the world’s first musical pipe organs that are played by the sea. Simple yet elegant steps, carved in white stone, were built on the harbor. Underneath, there are 35 musically tuned tubes with whistle openings on the sidewalk. The movement of the sea pushes air through, and – depending on the size and velocity of the wave – musical chords are played. The waves create random harmonic sounds.

A listener, standing or sitting on a chosen point on the scalinade, should be able to hear musically tuned pipes play their natural music. In this part of Croatia, the prevailing musical tradition is the spontaneous four-voice male singing, with melodies and chords conforming to the diatonic major scale.

Off to the side, we find Ven, an American white girl in her twenties with the face of an angel, looking at the message on her Smartphone: COFFEE MEETING. MY NAME IS VEN AND I AM IN ZADAR AT THE MOMENT. I AM SITTING NEAR THE SEA ORGANS. I KNOW IT'S NOT REALLY COFFEE TIME, BUT IF ANYONE WANTS TO JOIN ME HERE TO WATCH THE STARS.

At that moment, Mar, a young, white, American boy showing seriousness on his face shows up, Hi, my name is Mar, as he introduces himself to Ven. They sit on the steps of the musical organs and listen to the enchanting sounds played by the sea and winds as they watch the sky. As day turns into night, Mar shouts out, Same shit! The constellations have not changed for thousands of years.

While they are watching the sky and listening to the sea organs play, Ven daydreams about walking on a cloud wearing an astronaut suit. Eventually, Ven and Mar fall asleep next to each other as the night wears on. Mar and Ven are awoken by the bright sunlight with Ven exclaiming, Salute to the Sun!

Chapter 2

The Astronautical College

In the background, the electronic songs of Boris Tihomirov is playing the tune ‘Elektronnyi Budilnk,’ or as the Americans call it, ‘The Electronic Alarm Clock.’ On the radio, the talk host is asking, Are you ready for psychological radio? A proverb says, Knock on the door and it will be opened for you."

However, in the life of every man there are days of closed doors. That is the time when the doors are not open. The ones you hit with full force are not open either. Moreover, the doors that are wide open will shut in front of your nose. Days are passing, months are passing, and years are passing. However, what to do in that period of time? Calm down, wait for better times, and do not make important decisions. If you make any decisions, they will be wrong. If you are forcing the doors to be opened and they are not opening, you will lose energy. If you are patient and get over it and wait for better days, there is a possibility that later you will not be able to move on, you will not have the energy, – and when the doors are finally opened, you are so tired that you do not even want to pass through those doors. The point is you get what you wanted when you lose the interest for it and you are already used to living without it.

On another radio, the host is going through the discussion on astrology, Astrology is explaining that cycle like karmic planets travel through the natal in a negative aspect or After rain comes the sun. Everybody knows that.

Out on the road, a college professor is driving in his electric car. He bought the car after listening
