Neon signs flickered across tall buildings. Flying cars flew through the sky like silver birds. Humans and robots walked side by side as if it had always been that way.
Blue walked slowly, turning his head at everything.
The lights.
The noise.
The future.
"This place is insane…" he whispered.
Morin walked beside him, hands in his jacket pockets, purple lenses hiding his eyes.
A sleek robot approached them smoothly.
"Would you like to try the flying automobile?"
Blue blinked.
"Automobile?"
The robot pointed upward.
Cars rose vertically into the sky, gliding between towers before vanishing into light.
"Yes," the robot said. "Personal sky transportation."
Blue grinned instantly.
"Yeah. Morin, let's do it."
Morin shrugged slightly.
"Sure. It looks fun. Let's do it."
The robot guided them to a polished vehicle resting on the ground. It had no visible wheels , just a smooth metallic underbody humming softly.
The doors lifted upward.
They stepped inside and sat in the back.
The interior glowed faintly blue.
The robot sat in the front.
"Okay," it said calmly. "It's time to lift off."
The automobile vibrated gently.
Then , It rose , mot fast , not violently , just smooth.
Blue pressed closer to the window as the ground drifted away beneath them. Houses , buildings , people, neon signs , all shrinking as they ascended higher.
Flying between buildings.
Above bridges made of glass.
Through streams of other vehicles gliding silently in organized patterns.
Blue's eyes widened.
"Look at that…"
Saturn stretched endlessly below them , light stacked upon light, color layered into the sky itself.
Morin stared forward nonchalantly.
But his chains swayed slightly as the automobile shifted directions.
The vehicle accelerated smoothly, merging into the flow of airborne traffic.
Blue kept watching.
Like a child seeing the sky for the first time.
At the center of the island stood THE CENTER.
A massive glass-like structure rising upward like a crystal spear. Its surface reflected the ocean, the sky, and the city all at once.
Inside , white floors , silver walls.
Soft mechanical hums.
Vagan sat in a waiting area, one leg crossed over the other. A digital panel hovered above a glass table in front of her. News articles and data about Saturn scrolled endlessly.
She skimmed through headlines.
Energy efficiency , robotic integration laws , the Forefather's founding doctrine.
Mind transfer technology advancements.
Her gold X earrings shimmered softly under the sterile lighting.
Behind a sealed glass chamber. Rim was connected to a circular platform.
Thin cables extended from his metal frame into a suspended structure above him.
Lights pulsed.
Soft mechanical tones echoed through the chamber.
"Transfer initiating," a voice announced.
Inside the chamber, Rim's consciousness flickered.
Data streamed , memories flashed , dorothy's lab , war , humans screaming.
Morin laughing on the deck , the sea.
White light swallowed him.
Outside, Vagan glanced up briefly from her reading.
Her expression stayed calm.
But her fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the table.
Inside the chamber , the process continued.
Rim's mind was being transferred.
To another body.
