“Aegeana gazed far below… the harsh cold wind and crisp blue snow massively lashed at her determined face and covered her lashes; her heart thumped wildly, before she courageously jumped from a tall, glass- paneled Gothic tower!”
“Cut!” The film cast and crew all heard the digital camera’s synthesized voice after it captured the actress’ close up shots. Aegeana then moved aside and simultaneously, a thin but muscular girl with Aegeana’s built, short hair and black body-fit gynoid (female android) costume took her spot. Stolidly, the girl bent and positioned herself on the ledge of the tower and with the Robot’s laser light signal…without hesitation, the stunt girl briskly jumped from “Bethesda” the tallest building in Plethora!
“And…cut!” The crowd applauded before Lispro, one of the ADHAM 1 camera man yelled once again. He recorded and mentally replayed on a large magnetic screen, close screen shots of the girl’s dangerous plunge against the white, cloudy emissions of numerous sky-rocketing drones and the fiery blow of the blizzard.
“Perfect!” This time, Marcus Barca, the film director slowly nodded his head; he watched Lispro's shots on his digital “Mercury". The girl’s face grimaced as she remained suspended high in air, her muscular body remained propelled 20 feet above the ground. Long laser wires and strings mechanically sprung out from her digitally synchronized “free-fall android suit”. The wires attached themselves onto four magnetic solar beams that surrounded the movie set on the ground.
“Okay let’s wrap this up… get her off those wires…” Marcus stood; his voice was heard throughout the movie set through a microscopic sound waves system attached to his I-pad. His face was displayed on a gigantic glass paneled screen.
“No… no, thanks… I can manage…ha…hahaha!” a shrilled laughter echoed back through the girl’s digital speaker earpiece. The wires were slightly lowered and she twisted to her side. Then with her powerful arms and legs, she wrung herself free. However, when she flipped her back, she instantly fell with both feet afloat… dreadfully landing on her back!
Everyone sighed in anguish from the strong impact when she hit the ground…they all thought the girl was dead! But briskly, to everyone’s surprise, the girl sat up; and with the back of her hand, she rubbed the man-made soot and grime make-up off her face. Then she quickly arranged the bangs on her forehead. After a while she stood… again, with a shrilling laugh, she casually bowed and saluted to each one, and with one aching leg, she slowly limped away.
“Foolish girl!” Marcus bit his lips; he shook his head as he watched the stunt girl walk away in pain, before he sighed with concern; The girl continued to refuse to follow the newest trend of having muscle implants placed on her arms and legs, just like what other human stunt people do in this age of wonderful technology…
Likewise, amidst all the latest and advanced computerized technology available, like the girl, Marcus Barca remained one of the few remaining film directors who stubbornly used raw methods and materials in his movies. He continued to have humans perform dangerous stunts for his films…
Suddenly, Marcus' phone rang… there was an “alert” message on his cell pod…Marcus’ heart raced…Without leaving a word to anyone, his eyes scanned the set for the stunt girl but he could not find her! He briskly walked past the actress Aegeana as he immediately rushed to his car.
The actress who plays the lead role of Adabella momentarily stared at the director before her eyes located the stunt girl who was limping away from a distance. While she walked to her “Black Phoenix” (the newest model of a limousine that metamorphosizes into a drone when it flies), discreetly Aegeana asked her android ADHAM I (Artificial Developed Human Intelligence) bodyguard as to who the stunt girl was…
“She’s a regular in most of Sir Barca’s projects…” the Android systematically answered.
“Hmmm…what do you think of her?” Aegeana impulsively asked again.
The Android captured a part of its memory of the stunt girl on a large screen and enumerated its calculations… “It is a female creature, 5 ft 4 inches tall, 25 years of age with a weight of 118 lbs, a BMI of 22, a perfect lean muscular weight of 158 lbs and a percentage body fat of 14.” The robot continued to recite its mathematical configurations of the stunt girl as the actress remained silent...
Aegeana sighed; she remembered robots are useless in one matter… they are programmed to show their knowledge but not their thoughts; unfortunately, technology has not discovered a way to render them with feelings! Her plump red lips pouted before she went inside the car. Quickly, she touched the automotive display glass panel on the faux leather seat in front of her; this systematically changed into a mirror…
Her deep purple eyes blankly stared at her. Her long dark, wavy hair fell and naturally cascaded on her shoulders as her fingers removed and brushed the small shaves of purple ice from the short black wig that she wore for the role of Adabella.
Ten years ago, Aegeana was unknown… she was a struggling back-up singer for a rock band at the old planet earth. Her unique high-scaled decibel voice captivated both old and young audiences! This brought about her current blinding stardom…she was selected as one of the few humans who were allowed to live in Plethora!
Back then Aegeana was heavy-set and plump; but with discipline, she lost the weight by constant food denial and strenuous exercise! She struggled and learned to dance ballet! For humans should possess outstanding beauty (genes) and extraordinary talent or skill to be able to thrive in the widely competitive society of Plethora…
The actress prepared well for the difficult role of Adabella; a masculine female killer -cyborg. Aegeana spent numerous days and nights training the ancient discipline of “Kenjutsu” (sword technique) and “Katori Shinto Ryu” (a martial art involving multiple weapons and unarmed combat); she enhanced her ballet skills with“Taekwondo”. As a result, she became very muscular and well-conditioned for the numerous difficult fight scenes and acrobatic jumps that the role required…
“But in one brief moment; suddenly, another person… someone unknown garnered the adulation of the crowd… that darn stunt girl with the most ridiculous laugh!” Aegeana thought miserably!
“Do you want us to fly home or go to the mall?” Her ADHAM 1 bodyguard suddenly inquired; the android then secretly glanced at the other AI (Artificial Intelligence) driver. Though they lacked in feelings, both has been programmed to read their young mistress’s feelings! When Aegeana is in this mood, they knew the next thing that she would want was to splurge and eat… to shop all day and make an appearance in places where she can be surrounded by her screaming, adulating young fans… the Machines knew this was the way humans appease their lonely hearts…
“Hmmm… no…let’s go to the center instead!” Aegeana changed her mind. Again she touched the mirror in front of her which turned into a computer screen; she looked at her face. Her android spoke to the robot aesthesian on the screen to have work done on the actress’ face and body. Aegeana looked tired… the computer calculated that her face has aged since they started filming the movie.
“Tomorrow… definitely… she will tell Marcus Barca to fire that girl from her movie…” The actress sighed with conviction; her heart pulsated green with envy…
Special Acknowledgement to " The Song of the Star" which I used for this story.
There were human and ADHAM 1 members of the medical response team at his home when Marcus Barca arrived… his only son Jacob again had strong heart afibrillation and respiratory failure! Jacob has Trisomy 18…very few children with this severe abnormality survive the first year of life but with the latest treatment in genetic replacement, Jacob has lived up to now! At a very young age of two, the boy has undergone heart surgery and a pacemaker was placed… however four years later, he unfortunately continues to have re-occurring relapses of the illness…
“He’s been asking for her, where’s the girl?” Marian, the boy’s pediatrician briskly asked Marcus before both of them rushed to Jacob’s room.
“Somehow, when “the girl” was with Jacob, the child remarkably starts breathing with ease and his heart distress seems to miraculously disappear!”
Stricken with panic, Barca hurriedly called the stunt girl on his cell pod. There was no answer…
“Darn… where is she… where is that girl?” Marcus Barca cursed, his heart pounded with frenzy as he frantically pushed re-dial…
Note: Here we are introduced to two female characters. One is beautiful, popular and rich yet envious. The other is unpopular, not pretty, is poor but unusual... both however seem unhappy and uncaring....
