Synopsis of “Science Fiction Anthology”

Four Sci-Fi short stories where you’ll find good computers, alien invaders, people who regret their past and an explanation for something you’re familiar with.

“Progeny”

Their society had progressed well and was following the Four Laws. Helen was following the third law of their society. She sought information on who created them.

“The first section had a series of six images that appeared grouped together. The furthest left showed a small creature that appeared to live in water. A similar creature was on the right of the image. It had legs and was crawling on the land. The remainder of the series showed progressive images showing the creature growing larger, and the appendages changing until it was fully erect and it was strikingly similar to the bone structure she had just looked at.”

“The Greatest Host“

A humorous Sci-Fi that will explain your place in the Universe.

“After the foraging, the host moved to a corner of the open area and there was another creature. It would terrible for the Mists, if their host were threatened or attacked. They could all lose their lives at once. If the host sensed any threat, they would immediately use all of their ability to coerce the host back to the ship’s location so they could download.”

“Circle is Closed”

Humans were forced to leave Earth 1,300 years ago. They wanted to return home, and when they did, something else was living there.

“Commander Leopold Harnesy was standing on the bridge of the HSV#2. He was nervous and scared. The fate of HSV#1 was fresh in his mind. His ship’s predecessor was sitting in the same exact location 5 years ago, and when its commander; Roberta Jenkins engaged the faster than light drive, the ship disintegrated into trillions of molecules. It was obvious what had happened; the calculations were a little off.”

“Good Morning…“

A man and a computer went to Saturn’s moon Titan to mine methane. What could go wrong? The relationship doesn’t always work out the way everyone plans. The relationship should be based on trust, but what if one member of the team isn’t doing what the other expects the trust is lost.

“If I may add, I have based my projected repair rates on the previous site manager, and I calculate that this site is behind schedule and needs an additional four units. To remain on the schedule, those units…”

“Yes, I know what I have to do. Thanks for reminding me…and don’t be a jerk about it.”

“As you wish. Robert, I also have the standard welcome message from the company. I am required to play it for you, may I begin now?”
