Precipice Chapter III: RE: INTEGRATION
CHAPTER I CHAPTER II _____________________ A few days later, Avery was finally cleared to leave the city hospital. The call from the nurse was brief, simply describing Avery’s condition as “stable enough.” Normally Nikolai would question the nurse on the fidelity of her lack-luster conclusion, but the memory of Avery’s tears silenced any medical concerns he had. At this point, getting her out of that environment of stress and loneliness would do far more for her than leaving her strapped to a hospital bed.

Robbie stared at what the farm should look like; a white house, surrounded by fields on a barren landscape and looked up at what was really there. The house was nowhere to be seen, a forest in it’s place that was over a mile wider than the original boundary of the farm. He knew this because of the milestone next to his feet that read; HELM FARM. 1 Mile.

When Dave first came to Robbie, the story could not have been less appealing. Although he would never say it, the homeless where not exactly front page material. He’d tried in the past to write stories about the shocking increate of homeless, first due to the pandemic, and then the cost of living. But the fact was that the public didn’t care. It was too close to home with so many people only one pay check away from experiencing it themselves, so they ignored it. Robbie didn’t see the point in wasting his time.

New Pangean Shift
"As you can clearly see by studying the map of present-day continents before the Carboniferous-Jurassic period Pangea from 336-175 million BC, each land mass fits together like a perfectly assembled puzzle," I explained to the handful of students assembled in the cavernous auditorium.

Alice had been found in Scotland, walking along the edge of a loch Fyne. She was wearing the same clothes she had been taken in, covered in mud and barely talking. The news dominated the news stream for a week, the once avoided estate was suddenly flooded with reporters, cameras and curiosity tourists. She never left the house, her husband the buffer between her and the outside world. During this time she barely said a word, even to the police who came to interview. Her story was simple; the robot appeared to have malfunctioned, took her away. For weeks she had been locked in the back of a van, eventually escaping when the robot malfunctioned. The police searched the area, found an abandoned stone van and a broken robot. It appeared to the the same robot according to the serial number on it’s neck. But something about it frustrated Robbie Samuel; the payout had been minuscule. Of course the actual number Aphelion robotics that made was not disclosed anywhere, and whatever it was; it was enough for Alice Wilson’s husband to quit his job and work part time, but they never moved into a bigger house, bought a fancy car or did anything else that implied a surplus of cash. This lead Robbie to believe that they had not pushed for a large number, and that made him suspicious.
