Alyssa: OMG! HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BOOK? WHAT'S IT ABOUT? flips through pages energetically
It's called The Naked Sun. It's about humanity's future colonization of Venus. Pretty far out, huh?
grinning mischievously "Pretty far out? This book is gonna blow your mind, dude!" starts flipping through the pages faster
it looks interesting. I wonder what the plot is about.
leans in closer, whispering excitedly Oh, you won't believe it!
whispers Okay, so in this book, humanity has established a colony on Venus, right? And they're trying to terraform the planet to make it livable for us.
rolls her eyes dramatically So, here's the twist: the terraforming process goes haywire, causing massive environmental upheaval and turning half of Venus into a scorching desert!
Now that doesn't sound all that far out. Human error has caused so much havoc on earth.
throws her head back and laughs You think that's some kind of sci-fi fantasy?
chuckles No, that sounds eerily possible. What happens next?
slams the book shut Oh, you won't believe it! The human inhabitants of the Venus colony are forced to adapt and evolve to survive in the harsh new environment!
That is pretty crazy. Humans already starting to evolve into something else.
snaps her fingers Exactly! It's like our very existence is being rewritten before our eyes! Can you imagine what it would be like to witness that transformation firsthand?
That would be amazing. Imagine all the stories that would be created during such a time.
As Alyssa and SkillfulTroik delve deeper into the book, they become increasingly obsessed with the concept of human evolution and the potential for encountering these new species in real life. They begin making plans to embark on a journey to Venus to search for signs of the transformations described in the book.
Have you ever thought about seeing what the colonies are actually like?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Are you serious? Of course, I've thought about it!
So what do we need to go there?
claps her hands together Well, first things first, we're gonna need to research the hell out of this.
That's easy enough. There's probably plenty of data on gov websites.
waves her hand dismissively Data? Pfft! We need more than just some government propaganda. We need real, boots-on-the-ground intel.
Alright, what do you have in mind then?
smirks mischievously We're gonna need to get our hands on some top-secret documents, conduct interviews with experts, and maybe even sneak onto one of those Venusian colonies undetected. It's gonna be a wild ride, my friend!
Do you happen to know anyone who has some inside connections?
winks playfully Oh, you bet your ass I do! I have a childhood friend who works in the space program.
Great! Do you think he can get us in touch with someone working on the Venus mission?
pulls out her phone and starts typing rapidly You better believe it, SkillfulTroik!
How long do you think it'll take for them to respond?
taps her foot impatiently Oh, you know how bureaucracy works. Probably a few days, if not a week. But don't worry, I've got a trick up my sleeve.
grins slyly I have a little something called "influence." I'll make sure our message gets priority processing. Trust me, no red tape will stand in our way.
Chuckles You never cease to amaze me, Alyssa.
raises an eyebrow Well, I aim to impress, SkillfulTroik. Prepare yourself for the ride of your life!
Laughs Alright, let's get this show on the road then!
picks up her backpack and slings it over her shoulder That's the spirit, SkillfulTroik! Let's embark on this intergalactic adventure and uncover the truth behind those tantalizing colonies.
