《Encounters Out There》Forbiddens
Advertisement
Jason Anderson was a 2500-year-old Cryo, a person put into suspended animation and awoke when cured. In this case, 2500 years had passed since his fatal accident.
He sat in a small two-seater transit-warp ship next to Rebecca, his guide to the new century.
"Rebecca, I'm still amazed that we can travel through artificially created wormholes to other solar systems, even galaxies!"
"You'll get used to it." Rebecca winked. "Oh damn!" She navigated the ship around a solar system.
"What happened?"
"Oh, that's one of the Forbiddens."
"What do you mean, Forbiddens?"
"No one is allowed to visit Forbiddens."
"How come?"
"Well, like this one, an old guy declared the entire solar system his own. He set up a drone defense system that vaporizes anyone who breaches the perimeter."
Jason chuckled. "So after all these years, the NIMBY hasn't changed …"
"The what?" Rebecca raised an eyebrow.
"Uh, a Forbidden."
