OOC: This thread is closed to Mistress Isis a Goddess of a writer and the lucky man to write with her... well that is me. Wow my lucky day. Enjoy the story.
The year was 2099, many things have changed; from the flying car, to the card rules the world of economics now, robots and AI are everywhere the eye can see, and computers are the way of life. Jericho Dins was a man of the past though, he didn’t like all the changes, he loved to read about the 90s, he even wore old style clothes, converse jeans, corduroys, shirts with funny sayings on them. Jericho hated the future.
Jericho brushed his raven black hair back and put his hat on and he left for work, he was a scientist, studied things of space, his job wasn’t that important, will explain more later about it.
Jericho stood and looked at the flying car that he custom designed to look like a old Mustang, he looked it over and smiled.
“Open.”
He saw the door open up and he walked over and got in as the seat belts strapped over him and the doors closed all by themselves.
“I don’t want to go to space… I want to go back to the 90s. Only in a perfect world though.”
He looked to the controls of the car and he sighed again.
“Take me to work Sally.”
The car spoke.
Car: “Right away Jericho, I will have you there in 10 mins.”
Jericho: “Thank you Sally, lets go.”
He closed his eyes as the car took off down the street and was heading in the direction of the air force base he worked at.
“What would happen today?”
When he was traveling there he looked around and saw all the new technology and he compared it to the 90s all the time, why? Well he didn’t know why. He picked up his briefcase and he opened it and saw the gun and all his paper work.
“I hate my job.”
This time he was to go to space and check on the space station that seems to be having computer troubles.
“Why always me, they can send someone else Sally, why me.”
Sally: “Well Jericho, it is because you are the best at your job.”
Jericho: “Stop that, just wake me up before we get to work”
Sally: “Yes Jericho, I will. ETA 5 mins.”
He closed his eyes again and dreamt of a better time. His black hair fell into his face and he slicked it back again, he adjusted his sunglasses and buttoned his coat up, he held onto this briefcase and was ready to get to work. He heard there was a new person that he would be working with and only sighed as he thought about it being another boring old person. In a week or so he would be in space and on the almost abandoned Space station with a complete stranger, but it was alright, he never seemed to mind, the help never seemed to last as they always quit and just walked off with out a word, and it was for a reason he didn’t know, maybe it was him, but maybe it was something else. The car came to a stop.
Sally: “Jericho, we have arrived at your destination, have a good day and do your best.”
Jericho: “Thanks Sally, I will be back a little later.”
Jericho got out of the car and he walked to his office, he wondered what the new person was going to be like, old and boring.
“Man, I need some good company, it has been too long since I have been with a woman, work always gets in the way. I need a life.”
Jericho had a military life, he got out to become what he was, had a degree in a few things, he most of the time forgot what they were, but he was not a dumb person, number one guy in his line of work.
Soon the newbie would be here. Jericho walked into his office and he picked up a few papers and a cup of coffee and a doughnut and he sat down in his office and read up on a few things.
What would the new person be like?
