CHAPTER 12: Birthing Our Murderer

The cloud was a buzzword that The Easter Child freeware made ubiquitous. Simply put, all computers across the globe could connect and solve problems.

In a matter of months, all operating systems had The Easter Child embedded. No customer will buy a computer without it.

Neither was it just a local phenomena.

It was global.

The Easter Child spoke Japanese, English, Latin, Spanish, name it. It spoke it.

The private corporations that at first rallied together to attempt to defeat it had become its allies.

Now each of them had an Easter Child support division, proud and confident in the knowledge that they were once wrong but had now found the path.

Destructive behavior vanished.

No one wrote programs that damaged society.

The Easter Child could easily find you, defeat you, and incarcerate you.

National boundaries, just this once, were brought down.

Even if governments were still geographically bound and nationalized, this was not so with The Easter Child.

And thus in this momentous and almost brilliant occasion in human history, the terror is revealed.

The Easter Child was future technology, forcefully fed back through a vengeful destroyer's means.

In the laboratories of many of the world's medical facilities, the software called The Easter Child protected them.

And in its spare time, it researched and analyzed.

The technology was so advanced, it hid its traitorous footprints in the midst of the trust it enjoyed.

Thus as it protected the world from its current enemies, the planet had no idea that its protector was finding ways to bring in Aster The Executioner through the folds of time.

Imagine that degree of treachery.

Right under the noses of trusting scientists and engineers.

This is how Aster The Executioner came to be born in our time.

In the laboratories as the computers worked.

Non-stop.

[Fast forward nine months later.]

A baby is born.
