He strands on the bridge, looking out at the planet. A planet surrounded by warships from 10,000 worlds, and encased in shields, not to protect it, but to contain what has infected it. He had ordered it hundreds of times now, but this world was different, special. This was his world, his home, and while there has been colony worlds, a few thousand, or a million beings, most were barren worlds, devoid of life, or at least only primitive forms. He watches as a few distant flashes and explosions bloom just past the edge of the atmosphere as ships trying to escape are destroyed by the defensive systems of the world turned against the world they were designed to protect, smashed against the shields, or shot dow by one of the fleet ships. This world. …show more content…
With a deep breath, he speaks loudly so all can hear, knowing that his voice would be carried to all the craft in the fleet, to the world below, screaming back at him in rage, begging for mercy, for help, but he has no help for them save death. The words spoken, pre-arranged that it not be uttered offhandedly, that the gravity of the order would not be lost upon the one tasked with it. The gravity, the weight of it so much heavier with this world. "And lo, I am become Death. The Destroyer of worlds..." Turning to the bridge crew. "FIRE!" Turning back to the window to watch that which he has commanded. Warships of 10,000 and more worlds, tens of thousands of craft each, open fire as one upon the world below them. Weapons from simple auto-cannons to capitol ship beam cannons, and worse, rain death down upon the world until there is nothing but a smooth molten ball where a living world of trillions was but a few moments …show more content…
A weapon of true permanence, to ensure nothing from this world escapes. The beam lances down to the planet, and it immediately begins to collapse around the point of contact of the beam, material pulled into the spot, until only a singularity remains. His ship fires again, and again, and again, missiles this time, one for each major planet in the system. Each a weapon of awesome and terrifying power, collapsing each planet into a stellar mass black hole. Then a final missile, dooming even the star of the system to the crushing destruction of becoming a black hole. The ships jumping clear of the system, watching as the now system of black holes collapses and coalesces into a single black hole. Turning with a heavy sigh, he orders monitors in place and retires. Knowing his fleet, his crews, can handle it from there. They have done this before, and will again. It was never easy when the infection is discovered, but it is not usually an inhabited world, so this one weighs heavier on him as he walks to his cabin. Not only his former home, setting him and many members of the fleet homeless beyond the very ships upon which they reside, but wordless.

The characters in "Brave New World" are all conditioned in their ways. Even John himself has been conditioned. "Brave New World" is set in a future London after horrible wars, the aftermath of which leads the government to condition everyone and everything. Bernard Marx, Helmholtz Watson, and Lenina Crowne have all been conditioned from the time they were in the tube to their current everyday lives. Conditioning never really stops; it just takes different forms. John how was raised by his mother on an Indian reservation in New Mexico, yet he was cast as an outsider because of his DNA. John struggles to be himself in both worlds, he was treated as an outcast because of his DNA and that he was a savage.
“Where am I?” groaned Castro to himself while he lied expanded on his back. He opened his eyes and lazily patted himself down to see if all his limbs remained intact. Then he stretched out his hands to grope the terrain he was lying on. It felt grainy and divided. Castro turned his body over to his knees to gather some of it in his hands, but it slithered out. Soon, Castro felt a cold brisk that hovered over him. Castro still had no comprehension of where he was. Finally, he looked up into the firmament and saw it plastered with stars.
“Listen, all you need to do is get me to Callisto, and then you can take the shuttle elsewhere,” Stylani said, getting up to turn off the screen that still had her face pasted on a screen with the words traitor, heretic, and extremely dangerous.
Aldous Huxley wisely inserts many instances of distortion to the elements in Brave New World to successfully caution the world about its growing interest in technology.
L-“I followed the bug out of the Institute into the medical center where I saw them kill a person that was told they were going to the Island.”
He gasps for air the second he can, not getting enough of the cool crisp air. He opens his eyes and right before him is the largest Leopard seal he has ever seen. Jeorge coughs and whimpers as the seal comes closer. He is like a fish out of water.
“Water? I can do that…” she muttered and she gingerly picked up the angry little monster and carried him over to the bay where she set him in the water between the beached water nation boats. She then returned to be met with more insults. She shook her head, ignoring most of it as she approached the bound man and knelt down close enough to examine him but far enough to keep him from spitting on her or some other childish act of rebellion. “I did take things from your boats, yes, but it’s all in an attempt to keep us alive until we can reconnect with my fleet.”
Their world is full of beauty and danger: the wild lushness of the Tasmanian forest, the rolling power of the sea. In the opening chapter, Harry has an almost shamanistic sense of oneness with the natural world that surrounds him: he feels the sea to be part of him; he empathises with a lone cormorant as his brothers surf. He finds an ancient shell midden on the beach and is overcome with a strong sense of mortality and connection with the long-gone first people of the
He looked at Orion before saying, “Redemption is for those with something to redeem for. You do not deserve this exile. You deserve your freedom like any other Guardian.”
“Naive child, who told you we weren’t trying” the officer explained. “We’ve analyzed and studied about his kind for centuries. He's not like the rest. And since we know he doesn’t want to leave, we’re basically all going to die anyways”
“Let’s get back to the real subject which is what are you doing on my ship, and I demand an answer.”
I learn from the beginning that the story takes place in London,England. The year is A.F. 632 and the first character introduced is the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning. He gives his students a tour of the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. Also I learn that people do not give birth to living people; they are created in this factory. There are different fertilization methods that create Alphas, Betas, Gammas,Deltas, and Epsilons. These humans have roles in this society, which is called the World State. The motto of this society is Community,Identity, and Stability. Another character is Henry Foster and he also works at this factory.Lenina Crowne is another worker whose job is to give vaccinations. There are nurseries and some of the babies get shocked to cause them to dislike books and flowers so they do not spend time on those objects. The director states that there is sleep teaching. Alphas and Betas are smarter than Gammas,Deltas, and Epsilons.
