Chapter 1 Monday Morning
Monday morning, Shoab hears a voice in his dream
Time to get up, would you like to snooze?
Shoab opens his eyes and sends a message to turn off his alarm. Shoab downloaded the new alarm app because it was mind communication compatible. Shoab thought to himself
This is great; I don't have to move to shut off the alarm.
Still lying in bed Shoab started mulling over the list of mundane work waiting for him at DASPA. When he started his career at DASPA, The Defense Advanced Space Project Administration, he loved his work, but over the last couple years was not included in anything that peaked his interest. Shoab smiled as he glanced at his wife Julie, still sleeping peacefully. He leaned over giving her a kiss.
She slowly opened her eyes yawning proceeded by a big stretch Morning Babe...oh no.
Shoab concerned What!
Julie It's 8 o'clock. The kids are going to be late. Kids it time to get up! You're going to be late for instruction!
Shoab and Julie heard two little feet hitting the floor down the hall, followed by little footsteps scurrying to their bedroom. Julie and Shoab looked at each other and smiled when a little voice said Morning mumma, morning dada.
Dath, their two-year-old peaked around the bedroom door.
Julie looking over at Dath Is brother and sis awake?
No mamma,
Dath said.
Julie yelled again Lace, Rem, its time to get up! Come on you're going to be late for instruction! We still have to eat breakfast.
Rem yelled back OKAYEEE MOM!
Shoab groaned, I'm going to grab some coffee downstairs.
The Monday morning grind, Shoab and his family wonder downstairs to the kitchen table. As they sit down Julie's face goes blank as she peruses the breakfast downloads available from her Mindcom implant.
Julie breaks the silence Kids, what do you want for breakfast? Spiced toast or grain cakes?
Rem, their six-year-old boy, and Lacey their eight-year-old daughter yelled grain cakes and spiced toast at the same time. This sets off the usual banter of sibling rivalry.
Lacey complained We have spiced toast every morning!
Shoab raised his eyebrows as he looks up from the morning news. Julie, can't you just get them both what they want?
Julie tilting her head toward Shoab Ah…no, you forgot to get more base filler for Ramsey.
Shoab groaned Sorry hun, I'll order more on my lunch break today.
Julie slightly annoyed I'll order it after the kids start instruction.
Shoab Thanks babe.
After Julie orders breakfast, Ramsey, a robotic arm raises from the center of the table and begins printing out spiced toast, and grain cakes from the base filler. As Ramsey was printing breakfast Lacey started cheering leading the two-year-old Dath in the chant
Grain cakes, grain cakes, grain cakes, grain cakes!
Rem glared at Lacey They're so annoying!
Shoab and Julie made brief eye contact with a small grin. Rem, be nice buddy. You need to be the man of the house while daddy's gone for the day.
Rem perked up I will dad.
Rem had a big heart but like any six-year-old would let his temper get the best of him.
After a couple minutes Julie glanced over at the clock "Ok, lets hurry up with breakfast, instruction is starting. By this time Shoab was ready to leave for work.
