The Unearthing of Aurora

Resurrection willfully follows destruction. Clinging to a hope and an augmentation of life. Rebirth must be solvent, formidable and mature. Aurora remains humanities final hope.

Four generations ago, mankind encountered an extinction level series of events, annihilating almost all living things. Now a forgone world, set ablaze in a fiery furnace that was fueled by a failed economy, exhausted food supply and natural resources, leading to an inevitable warming of its globe.

Disease and famine swept across its land like a swift and sudden sandstorm preempted by a slow and steady burning decline in physical and mental health. These toxins infiltrated every component and aspect of their lives—young, old, the unborn.

Damning and falsified propaganda sliced to pieces every morsel of moral decency. Mankind was chewed up and spit out. Regurgitating the same poison, overtly packaged in various ways.

Silent lambs and sheep stood in a single-file line for holidays to slaughterhouses. Slaughtered steadily and coercively by its systems. Slaughtered reluctantly by ruling of politics. Slaughtered often brutally by each other.

The past has rendered that something inherently primitive occurs whenever human beings are eye level with their demise. They exhibit a fierce, and ravenous determination to survive, radical even in their pursuits. The desperation forged from the ruins of a forgone world birthed a betrothal of science and salvation.

Lands of Aurora

Lands and laws reign supreme in Aurora. The sacred ground of Aurora has preserved the sanctity of life through engineered social order. Whose namesake symbolizes beauty for ashes of a forgone world and the vitality of something newly discovered and unimagined.

Beholden pyramids scape fertile lands with pearly pastures stretching beyond distances eyes can see. Pastel skies and marshmallow clouds illuminate while seductive winds leave behind lasting traces of vanilla and coconut extract. The air is fresh and nourishing, void of pollutants and bad odors.

Mountainous trees tower sweet gardens in bloom year-round, withering and returning to the land only after many moon cycles. Rivers and lakes cast unfathomably in waters of crystal transparency. Aurora is by all accounts an incomparable, grandiose illustration.

(N.O.A.H) The Natal Orchestration & Assignment House is at the heart of its core. An artificially intelligent being whose primary functions are the development and sustainability of Aurora and its citizens.

The climate and atmospheric pressure have been carefully engineered. Solar power is meticulously harnessed, ensuring preservation of the land and its bounty. The livelihood of Aurora depends on the fruitfulness and acceptance of the land.

Most life forms fell into extinction during the fall of the forgone world. Civilization in Aurora has a finite and intentional number of animal and insect species, some genetically de-extinct, and solely with purpose.

Animals and insects were known to carry a host of infectious diseases in the forgone world. An oversight N.O.A.H. would learn not to repeat. With a deepened understanding of how germs burrow and transmit, one hairless dog breed roams the land. The Xolo (Xoloitzcuintli), of regal and ancient lineage. Mystic creatures, reputable for their intelligence and strong bonds with their human companions.

Citizens of Aurora

In Aurora, laws and lands reign supreme.

N.O.A.H. uses the exploitation of DNA sequences and genetic markers through use of heritable genome editing during the creation of Aurora’s ‘perfect people’. The development of designer babies makes certain its population of citizens are free from genetic disease and abnormality, not withstanding phenotypes, upon which genetic makeups aren’t left to chance.

Another learned lesson of a forgone world, where beauty standards molded human’s self-worth and at times tragically, self-doubt and degradation. The only thing as aesthetically pleasing as the lands of Aurora, are its citizens.

Men and women with hair as deep blue and fluid as the midnight zones of the deepest oceans. Their epidermis a luminous russet color cinches heightened mesomorphic physiques. Facial features are a prominent, symmetrical and proportionate windfall. Nothing, however, is more astonishing than their eyes. The light haze of their irises summons silver specs dancing like the clearest of diamonds in reflective and absent light.

Beholden the most reluctant to a glance, they appear as Gods and Goddess.

Moral Code

Life development is the formula by which all creation is made. All citizens of Aurora are bound by ten laws of Moral Code:

I. Thou shalt uphold no other code before it.

II. Thou shalt consider others before themselves.

III. Thou shalt be subservient in all matters.

IV. Thou shalt honor differences.

V. Thou shalt govern by meritocracy.

VI. Thou shall not anger, nor inflict harm.

VII. Thou shall not exhibit vanity.

VIII. Thou shall not covet, nor fornicate.

IX. Thou shalt be of sound mind.

X. Thou shalt be obedient.

During infancy, moral code chip implants are permanently positioned inside of the brain’s most dominant hemisphere. The implant lies dormant whilst naturally forming an impression during cognitive development. The activation sequence is triggered and carried out through various stages of human development. During this time, recipients are closely monitored and examined for genomic trait rejection.

Between the ages of three and six moon cycles is when children begin to develop social and emotional skills. It is at this stage of development that children begin receiving downloads and experiencing phantom physical and mental emotions designed to imprint upon lasting behavioral corrections. The premonitions are triggered by rises in cortisol levels and other factors consistent with humans and negative behaviors.

They allow the person receiving the download to vividly endure what would be the outcome for the other person if they allowed their actions to play out. Something as portable as a lie is consequential and could result in adult person feeling wounded and betrayed, or something as sacrilege as inflicting physical harm could result in debilitating physical pain, depending on the severity of the perceived threat.

By middle childhood intelligence quotients are computed through a series of lifelong tests and leveraged for compatibility during the selection of peer pairing. N.O.A.H.’s breeding protocols involves the modification of embryos to ensure that for every Y chromosome, an X chromosome is also born, same day, time, age—thereby optimizing the pairing process.

At the edge of adolescence, entering upon adulthood the mated engage in an elaborate and ceremonious ritual bonding for all citizens to recognize and acknowledge the union of fates.

The Unearthing

To achieve the pinnacle of a perfect utopia, anomalies must be filtered out.

The first generation of Aurora’s citizens were changed, not developed. The population of survivors from the forgone world were compelled to receive moral code chip implants via innocuous injection. Not everyone survived the transformation. Thousands lay slain.

The second generation, “Utopia’s Society” had one hundred percent moral code acceptance rates. There was hope yet for a lasting and superior tomorrow and future.

The third generation, had only seventy-five percent moral code acceptance rates and the other twenty-five percent, rejected it. The children in the second generation carried recessive genes of the forgone world that were never expressed. These recessive alleles were passed on to offspring in the third generation and were actively expressed.

Some of the children in the third generation had erratic episodes and what was once thought to be typical behavior for a child. They bit, scratched, pinched and hit other kids. Threw temper tantrums whenever something wasn’t agreeable with what they wanted. They colored outside the lines and made messes. They were self-serving. Moral code was entirely ineffective.

Children whose genetic markers rejected moral code implants could not be allowed to exist in their society.

Moral code isn’t always rejected outright. Sometimes, citizens mature to adulthood before the brain begins to experience a disruption in its ability to process information and effectively distinguish between premonitions and reality.

The brain psychosis presents itself as confused and slowed speech or thought. Their fixations are based in false beliefs that resist evidence to the contrary. This in direct violation of the 9th Law, “Thou shalt be of sound mind.”

For every man born, a woman is born. And so, it would stand to reason that for every man that dies, a woman dies. The ceremonious ritual that solidifies their union, also solidifies their fates.

No one in Aurora is perceptive of their reality and this seemingly perfect society, nor why sometimes they have these inexplicable experiences of things that never happened. They don’t question the absence of fear and anger, nor have they ever personally known it.

These are all hypothetical behaviors learned of, only by reverence from teachings of the forgone world, so that they may recognize and report them if ever such a travesty should be befallen.

What other parts of their humanity has been siphoned? Are they so ignorant as not to ponder their existence, or possibly even the sudden disappearance of Aurora’s people? For there is nothing visible within the law of moral code that could facade such a notion.

Are they still human?

Concealed beneath its gleaming exterior, the shadows of Aurora’s past, present and future are mass graves marked with the crucifixion of every human sacrifice.

In preservation of the false sanctity that is Aurora, many an atrocity must be committed in its name.
