CHAPTER 11: Earth Year 2009 (April 22, Wednesday) - The Easter Child (Conclusion)

The representatives of all of research and development teams of the planet's top anti-viral, anti-infection, anti-trojan, anti-heuristics, anti-fringe and pro-fringe science teams are here.


The verdict is in.

"The Easter Child has won."

The room fills with anger, then wild accusations.

Finally, after some thought, a voice rises above the tumultuous cloud.

"We known the functional goal. It promises protection for all, for free. That is why we are all bankrupt."

In the short time that has passed, users have switched to The Easter Child. That included all corporate clients that failed to receive protection but received it from the no-cost and non-profit solution provider called The Easter Child.

An analyst raises his hand, then his voice.

"Hear me out. Listen."

"Yes?" the master of ceremony replies.

"The Easter Child has sent me a message that is to be delivered to our congregation at this very same opportunity."

The executive flinches. He twists and does not like the idea.

But he gives the speaker an opening, if only to give variety.

Or a chance to be stupid and prove him top once more.

Unfortunately, this is neither.

For this is part of the arrival plan of Aster.

"We already have a cloud computing ability." The guest is hoping he is understable.

He continues.

"We now have the processing power, after all these years. And we established the connectivity plans to make our standalone machines work together."

The audience is shocked, but not dumbfounded.

Haven't we all worked together this far?

"Let me continue."

The audience awaits.

"The Easter Child will now unite as as One. As all of you, and by you I mean businessmen, analysts, reasearchers, scientists -- you have seen how this Easter Child has transformed our lives."

"Now we must move on. For I have been chosen to inform you of the next step."

The audience is stunned.

"The Easter Child is arriving in Earth Year 2010."
