Ekstrasens

Typical day.

Kimiko woke and reached for her interface. She clasped the interfaces to her temples, where they made contact with the implants common to all citizens. As the images produced swirled through her mind she came to understand the situation for the day.

Kimiko disconnected and rose out of bed. The air around her swam with light as she strode towards the shower. As she entered the small subicle coherent light flashed as it assesed her body temperature and adjusted to provide the most satisfactory clean. Kimiko spun in the shower, allowing every surface to be blasted free of the sweat and grime of everyday life. While great leaps of technology and mind have been made, the body still is a mass of outdated flesh that needs taking care of to function correctly.

After taking care of other... neccesary bodily functions, Kimiko dressed and prepared to leave, when she became aware of someone at her door.

As she opened it, her envelope of light extended and embraced another fainter, smaller feild outside the door. She look down and saw a small boy with a cup. Images of sugar, an older woman, and a many on his knees hands clasped together pleading, flashed through her mind, and she thought of an empty cup, and an apologetic look crossed her face as the boy walked with determined look to the next door in the hallway, their fields once again seperating out. Kimiko was able to get a last glimpse of a runner crossing a finish line eminationg from him.

Kimiko slowly walked down the corridor towards the elevator, which opened silently for her, and with a thought from her upon entrance, desended to the bottom floor. Upon exiting the elevator, kimikos light extinguished itself as it fled into the pores of her skin. Laws made it so people could not extend their networks more then 6 inches from their bodies on the streets, and most people wouldn't want to. Leaving your feild open could be dangerous, with people with malicious ideas having the ability to directly communicate with your mind.

As she walked down the street, the global network slowly became alive in her head. Once outside of her building, she was able to connect with the low power public network nodes imbeded in the street, light poles, etc, allowing her to share her brain power with the rest of humanity. At home, your brain is your own, in public, it's others to use for the advancment of humanity.

Whats funny is I made the word 'Ekstrasens' up, but googling it, it turns out to mean what the story is saying.

extrasensitive (ekstrasens)–see psychic
psychic (ekstrasens)–a person said to be sensitive to nonphysical forces who is an intermediary between the earthly world and the world of spirits; a medium; an extrasensitive (Webster’s)


Which, being ethereal, the virtual worlds are a non-physical force (dont get all physics on me with electrons and photons and wavelengths)

Kimoko walked down the district towards the Transport Terminal.

The residential city of Holith in Pespin Grove was specifically structured with district after district of residential structures. There were hundreds of residential cities adjacent to Holith within the realm of Pespin Grove. After all, every individual on the planet resided in Pespin Grove. The resiential structures were no more than 4 stories high, separated by pedestrian sized walkways. Situated at the center of each district, was Transport Terminal.

Kimoko was about an hour early for Fitness Training, and few people were yet out on the streets. Most people were still inside getting ready. She had time to visit Mount Terga where she liked to go sit, and watch the sunrise.

When she arrived at the terminal, she saw various people getting into various Transports. She walked into a small booth, roughly 4ft x 4ft. As she sealed the entrance, the Transport activated, connected to her network, and deactivated. The door opened, and she found herself at her desired destination. A terminal at Mount Tegra. Thousands of miles away from her home city, Holith.

Kimoko made her way towards the platform where dozens of people gathered to hang out. She arrived to her usual spot, and met up with her friends, Dinnis and Belyin. With them was a strange child. She couldn't help but notice that the child was holding a cup. . .
