Anton Helios<p>I drove to my office at 560 Westmount. I had a small office in the Quantum Investments building. Many years earlier, one of my investments had eventually led to some significant returns, and a solid relationship with the founders of QI. I checked to see if Neil, one of the founders, was in. He was, and we settled into one of the meeting rooms.</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>

Anton Helios<p>We both said we would try a half. She quickly poured our glasses and set them in front of us. After we took our first appreciative sips and expressed our impressions to Helen, we got back to the subject at hand. There was no-one else in the bar, it being past the lunch rush. Helen had retreated to the other end of the bar to work on her order planning.</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>

Anton Helios<p>CHAPTER 4</p><p>Recovery</p><p>The drive to the University of Waterloo campus was only about twenty minutes, even with the traffic at noon. I parked in front of the KickOff, said ‘Hi’ to Helen and told her I was leaving my car in front of her place. I grabbed a quick snack and two coffees at Williams, then walked across campus to the QCI.</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>
Anton Helios<p>“Yes, of course, I’ll just sit here and keep exploring my new capabilities” replied Mica. “See you shortly” she concluded, and terminated the call. ‘Interesting…’ I thought.</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>
Anton Helios<p>“So tell me why we’re here,” said John.</p><p>I filled him in with an outline of my phone call with Mica, leaving out only the back story of my agreement with her. I figured I had to trust John, and I had no reason to suspect that I shouldn’t.</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>
Anton Helios<p>Spooning Mica’s firm body was a pleasure which I had the fortune to enjoy many times over the years. We each had other relationships, but at least once each year would get together in some secluded place, and add more data points to the ongoing experiment. Although we were never personal or business partners, we collaborated informally on many projects.</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>
Anton Helios<p>We whispered to each other for a while longer, talking about what we would do the next day. We never again discussed our agreement, but both knew that we had made a life-long commitment deeper than friendship, love, or other relationships. I didn’t suspect then, or later, that the commitment would transcend death. We gradually dozed off, snuggled as close as only young people can manage.</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>
Anton Helios<p>We talked about our dreams and aspirations. One thing that Mica kept coming back to was that she thought we would both invent something or do something that would change the world.</p><p>I said “Hopefully for the better?” and she laughed and said “Of course! Otherwise what’s the point? And I have this feeling that we’ll do whatever it is, together.”</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>
Anton Helios<p>I thought briefly, then said “Agreed totally. That will be our code phrase, and response will be immediate and without question. And knowing us, that could take us in some very strange directions!”</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>
Anton Helios<p>“Yes,” she replied, “and it’s that if either of us ever needs help, no matter the circumstances, we just need to say ‘I need your help. It’s important.’ And the other will do whatever is asked or necessary.”</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>
Anton Helios<p>She was silent for a while in turn, then said “I’ll go further. I’ve always suspected that we have a special connection, now I know that to be true without question. Wherever our lives take us, I know I can count on you. I have a proposal for you.”</p><p>“What, another one!” I said.</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>
Anton Helios<p>“I’m glad you find me adequate!” I laughed. That has become a standing joke between us ever since. I’m pleased that she has found me adequate many times over the years.</p><p>I was quiet for a bit, then said to her, “Whatever happens, let’s make sure to always remember that we have this bond.”</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>
Anton Helios<p>“I’ll be happy to provide any samples you need. Will you be needing to expand the donor base as well?”</p><p>“No, I can’t imagine calling any other man,” she replied. “Yes, I think that occasional samples from a single donor will be quite adequate for this experiment.”</p><p><a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSF</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoE</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmigration</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Robots</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaia</span></a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfConsciousness</span></a></p>
Anton Helios<p>I thought about it for a bit and replied “You are the one person who I feel I can trust completely. If this is what you want, I’ll help.”</p><p>“Thanks,” she replied, “This is an experiment I’ve been thinking about for a while.
