Two hundred
and eighty-nine water baby-gods now exist because the Gods needed a time
shifter. As in ONE. Only the God
assigned the task doesn’t like to work at anything but weight lifting. So he
inserted his DNA into an egg and when that didn’t work He acquired the test
tubes of the head officers of the ship from the medic center and inserted their
blood into the eggs.
He not only
got his time shifter, but two hundred and eighty-eight additional geniuses.
Thoran was
“too busy” (lifting weights and flirting with the ladies) to do the actually
count the baby-gods. Instead, he left the counting to the scholars, who only knew
of the ‘gifted’ that were in their school. There’s another poor child out there
who’s being forced to work for the Path of Darkness. But no one is aware of him
and the harm he will do. We’ll just have to hope that in this universe the Path
of Light wins.

Excerpt 1
“Zousan,
we’ve located our time shifter,” Thoran said as he entered Control Central.
“So
soon? You just began the seeding.”
Thoran
grimaced. “I might have overdone it. They’ve got two hundred and thirty-nine
geniuses on their hands. Could alienate the populace.”
Zousan
stopped typing and glared at the shepherd. “That was heavy-handed.”
“I
just wanted to get something off my list of objectives. My workload is
impossible!”
Zousan
was sick to death of hearing the same old wail. “Well, I can lighten it.”
“Finally!”
Thoran turned to leave.
The way
Zousan handled it was giving a new God, Pane, responsibility for the Oceanics.
When Thoran’s past mistakes catch up to him, Zousan had his Second investigate
exactly what Thoran had done to obtain so many geniuses.
Excerpt 2
“Thoran
did tamper with the Oceanic’s genetics.”
“I
figured as much. Exactly what did he do?”
“First,
he infused his own blood into an Oceanic egg.”
“Damn
it!”
“It
gets worse. When that didn’t create the time shifter required, not surprising
since he lacks that skill, he gathered used blood vials from the medic and
instead of dumping them into the disposal unit as he’d offered to do, he
extracted the residual blood and inserted it into the egg sacks. By doing this,
the DNA came from different crew members, and the probability of getting a
time-shifter improved immensely.”
“So
we don’t have two hundred and eighty-nine Thoran half-breeds?”
“No.”
“That’s
a relief.”
“I
had the medic go through his records and determine whose blood might have been
in the tray Thoran took.”
“And?”
“The
tray held the blood of you, myself, Athena and your officers.”
In all his fourteen
billion years in this multiverse, Zousan had never once sired a half-breed.
Until now. “How soon can we test them?”
The Gods of Probabilities
By
Liza O’Connor
Blurb
The Gods
require a time shifter to ensure the Path of Light reigns during the final
collapse of possibilities. To speed the process of finding an Oceanic with the
specific talents needed, God DNA is induced in several batches of Oceanic eggs,
resulting in a generation of brilliant tiny blue Oceanic children.
One charming
boy named Drogan has the ability to manipulate quantum reality in ways that
will strengthen the Path of Light. Only trouble is that his gift runs a high
probability of killing him and wiping out the Path of Light for good.
While the
bureaucratic Gods will try to assist, in Quantum all possibilities not only can, but do happen, so the future is never certain.

Thanks for having me over. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved this series. It is ironic that the Gods are so into themselves and looks that they did something wonderful with the Oceanics (the children who save some of them).
ReplyDeleteIt is an irony. Thoran actually did a great thing when he made them all brilliant. Otherwise poor Drogan would have been all by himself and unable to solve the problem. Zousan just didn't see the big picture on this. Thoran did good!
