Retazo 45 /Patchwork 45
Su cometido era transmitir una inteligencia a otra parte del universo usando pulsos de fuerza. Eso es lo que le habían dicho, aunque él no entendía gran cosa. Allí estaba, orbitando la Tierra en una nave que, como era la primera en lo suyo y tampoco quedaba ni tenía que quedar muy claro qué era lo suyo, estaba camuflada como una estación de vigilancia del sistema de protección contra asteroides.
Los grandes cerebros sintéticos habían desarrollado un sistema con el que creían que Nosotros podríamos expandirnos por el Universo más rápido de lo actual. Todo esto le sonaba extraño, tan extraño como fue su proceso de selección:
-Levántese y deje sus pertenencias en la entrada de la oficina. Allí le acompañarán a su nuevo destino.
Le resultaba complicado entender cómo era el sistema normal de Expansión Cósmica, pero, al menos, lo podía explicar: en vez de mandar las naves a grandes distancias, se manipulaban con pulsos de fuerza grupos de átomos para crear los objetos en destino. Sin embargo, en el nuevo sistema no se manipulaban átomos lejanos con pulsos de fuerza, sino que se modificaban las condiciones de un lugar remoto para transmitir allí una inteligencia. Eso es lo que uno de los cerebros sintéticos le había respondido a sus preguntas. Ni le quedó muy claro ni quería saber mucho más.
Al fin todo estaba preparado. Recibió la orden de iniciar el proceso y, tras pulsar el botón, su mente se encontró flotando cerca de otro sistema planetario. Era un comienzo, era su comienzo.
English Version:
His mission was to transmit an intelligence to another part of the universe using pulses of force. That’s what they had told him, though he didn’t understand much of it. There he was, orbiting Earth in a ship that, as it was the first of its kind and no one had yet clarified—and probably never would—what exactly "its kind" was, was disguised as a surveillance station for the asteroid protection system.
The great synthetic minds had developed a system through which They believed We could expand across the Universe faster than currently possible. All of this sounded strange to him, as strange as his selection process had been:
"Stand up and leave your belongings at the entrance of the office. You will be escorted to your new destination."
He found it hard to grasp how the normal system of Cosmic Expansion worked, but at least he could explain it: instead of sending ships over vast distances, groups of atoms were manipulated with pulses of force to create objects at their destination. However, in the new system, distant atoms weren’t being manipulated by force pulses; instead, the conditions of a remote location were altered to transmit an intelligence there. That’s what one of the synthetic brains had responded when he asked questions. It wasn’t very clear to him, nor did he want to know much more.
Finally, everything was ready. He received the order to initiate the process and, after pressing the button, his mind found itself floating near another planetary system. It was a beginning, his beginning.
