Hyperion Corp is the way of the future

[Kevin Kingswell]

Standing with his hands held behind his back CEO Jack Livingston of the Hyperion Corporation looked out the window of his high rise office at the city below. He watched the citizens walking back and forth along the streets and smiled as he imagined squashing them like ants beneath his boots. He chuckled as he let the thought wander away as he heard the door to his office open and he spun around slowly to see Serena his secretary walking towards his desk. He smiled broadly to her as the young attractive woman crossed the short space, though still relatively young himself being only thirty years old being the CEO of a big business always did wonders to attract the younger and older women.

 

"Serena my dear welcome, I hope you bring good news for me?" asked Jack softly though anyone and everyone who knew the man's personality knew all about the hidden threat it carried. Serena smiled in return and handed over a stack of papers, which Jack promptly looked over and dropped onto his desk to read in detail later. "The launch is ready sir" she said simply and couldn't help but grin as Jack literally jumped in the air and fist pumped.

 

"Wooohooooooo!!!" shouted Jack in joy before remembering he had company and swiftly returned to his strict and professional look and stance. "Ah excellent, you may return to your duties" he instructed and watched Serena's tight little posterior sashay its way out of his office before running over to a nearby terminal and connecting it to another one some distance away at a Hyperion owned launch site. A slightly over weight and balding man dressed in a Hyperion worker's uniform answered and quickly straightened as he saw his boss was on the line.

 

"Oh...uh...good afternoon sir... how can..." began the man before Jack interrupted him. "Is it really ready?" he asked quickly, "yes sir the rockets are prepared, the station parts are connected to the rockets and our autonomous robots are loaded and ready to begin assembly as soon as they are in position" replied the worker. "Then launch. NOW!!!" shouted Jack before he cut the channel and ran back to the window. A few seconds after he did so he spied four massive rockets lifting into the sky on trails of flame with some massive pieces of metal attached to them though it was hard to see what they were from his office.

 

Other nations would easily see the rockets lifting off on their radars and from other means if they had them available, they would see the rockets launch straight up and then start to corkscrew a little almost colliding together as they did. In his office Jack threw an absolute crazy fit of worry and anger when he though they would collide but calmed down when they stabilized and again rose swiftly upwards. Though he would need to order some new plants and pots for them. The rockets would leave the planet and head for the moon disengaging boosters and other parts as need be.

 

As Jack had discovered from extensive research and contained testing time suddenly began to move differently as if it was reacting to his own personal wishes and demands. Instead of having to wait some lengthy amount of real time for the rockets to arrive at their destination time seemed to fly by and soon enough the rockets arrived and disengaged their payload of metal structure parts and robots before flying off towards Venus to eventually collide with the planet. Because seriously screw that place.

 

In space near to the moon the robots turned themselves on just as planned and using tiny little boosters swarmed over to and onto the metal structure parts and working together began to move the pieces into place where they could connect together as they had been built just to do so. Course not all worked as it should have sixteen bots failed to activate, ten self destructed and one flew off into space to become a fairly successful space pirate. Still enough worked for the project to continue and soon enough a giant space station was connected, positioned and with a flick of a simple button on the outside, which immediately broke afterwords, activated. *Sigh* typical, stupid button. Hate you button grrr.

 

Jack seeing his work completed and running began to jump and dance fully of happy thoughts, he was so happy he had the bunnies released from the R and D section. Shame they were ten foot tall now, oh and on fire. Watching the citizens begin to run away from the giant burning bunnies Jack laughed like a mad man and wrote a note to get  a recording from security of the release.

 

In space the new space station floated peacefully while the robots looked at one another, tried to work out their next tasks, failed to find any new tasks, shrugged and began to dance.
