Mari Nagare smiles as she stares at the glass brain cases that contain the brains of the bullies who caused the deaths of her son. Their names have been wipe from them as they are only have the numbers of their brain cases. Their brains are being used to run the brain bots to do labor. Completely self aware and the whole system they’re connected to, would never allow them to be able to go mad. They’re stuck forever as brain bots to do labor till the day their brains simply die for one reason or another but most last for hundreds of years before that happen. They’re nothing but nameless bots now with no hope of ever escaping from their fitting punishment. (1)

“All thanks to the mind scanner that shows if they’re guilty of the crime or not and if it was just an accident or like what happen was on purpose,” Sunset said to Tomoko as they ate lunch. Both of them watching a news report of the new Justice system.

“No more court cases or jury?” Tomoko ask.

“There are still civil cases like who gets what after someone dies or claims or divorce cases. The mind scanners are for serious crimes like the bullies driving a fellow student to kill himself,” Sunset said.

“There are so many things that I need to know now. What old laws are still the law and what isn’t and the laws that are now the law,” Tomoko said.

“The world is now under one rule and my aunt has done this over 500 times now. It’s nothing but a normal routine for her to destroy the old government and make a new one. Getting rid of all the politicians who do nothing but make power plays and getting people to vote for them or the ones who jury rigged the elections to stay in power. She just had them killed or turn into brain bots. The United States government now runs much better and faster thanks to her getting rid of all the clowns,” Sunset said.

“And had the people who protested turn into brain bots,” Tomoko said.

“Well that what happens when people think that the old freedom of speech still protects them. Besides there are billions of humans, culling the numbers of the trouble makers is just something that my aunt does. And there is no stopping her, so just stay out of her way. My aunt is a veteran warlord who has conquered planets and made entire race extinct. Her taking over and making this world run as she wants is just Tuesday for her,” Sunset said.

“No one on one fight like you did?” Tomoko ask.

“I was just playing around and let Dan win so I could rip everyone who bet against him. Aunt Eclipsa, is just going to kill whoever tries to fight her. She’s just too strong where she’s just bored of fighting, the only thing that gives her pause is when she’s dealing with something that can destroy a normal space fleet, like a probe that can travel at light speed and just wreck a standard space fleet. She is also very smart, having gone to the best schools and teachers, and learning from experience. She’s also one of those who never falls for the same trick twice. Anytime she lost she just make sure she can’t be beaten like that again, plus she also very good at planning and manipulation,” Sunset explains.

“But all she’s been doing when dealing with the old leaders, is you do what I say or I turn you into brain bots,” Tomoko said.

“Earth isn’t that hard to deal with and after she took down all the weapons that were the only threat, there was nothing left to stand in her way. And bio weapons don’t work when all you have to do is walk into a health tube and be cured of anything wrong with you. You’re looking much better after you used it,” Sunset said.

“Yeah, I do,” Tomoko said who looks a lot more healthier after she used the heath tube.

“Besides my aunt has done lots of good to show that while you humans are now our subjects, you are well taken care of in return for resources and entertainment,” Sunset said.

“She has also been exposing all the secrets that the governments have been hiding too,” Tomoko said who has been reading all the secrets the old governments hide and covered up. It’s even bigger the Wikileaks.

“My aunt loves to kick people out of power and then expose all the secrets and coverups that the old governments did. Leaving the people who did it totally expose and have no protection at all. And that everything that the people who did those things with the mindset it’s for their country, is all for nothing. That they’re now exposed, they have no retirement plans or any support, the very government they work for is gone, leaving them having to deal with all the stuff they did. Which is for nothing, and ruining support to return to the old ways. Hard to get support when the government was involved in human trafficking,” Sunset said.

“And that there’s nothing to pay the soldiers,” Tomoko said.

“Unless it’s a mindless drone like some insect races or robots. Once you can’t pay people to be soldiers to die for a cause they don’t even believe in, the army will just break up. Besides many veterans from the United States were used up and thrown away by the old government and now unlike before they actually are being taken care of by my aunt’s new government. By the standard health care that all of our subjects are given,” Sunset said. (2)

“I really can’t believe how much the standard health care takes care of,” Tomoko said.

“That’s the marvel of being ruled by a highly advance space empire and that your planet is right next door to our homeworld,” Sunset said.

“Living in a high technology world with a higher standard of life,” Tomoko said.

“There be some problems here and there but that always happens at the start and seeing how my aunt and grandmother been around since before humans were a thing. We can afford to wait centuries while at best a human can only live around a 100 at best. Making the changes that will cause the very cultures of this world to change. And all the things that people held dear to them, means nothing to the people hundreds of years later,” Sunset said. (3)

Author's Note

1 - Maria no Danzai

2 - You really can’t expect to get people to fight for a cause that they don’t care about when you can’t pay them or have any way to force them. Especially when the old soldiers are screwed by the very government they fight for once they’re no longer useful. Not many are going to help the old government when the new one actually helps them.

3 - A long live race can afford to wait and make small changes so that in the future, be more to their taste. Something that many fictions fail to show when dealing with someone who is immortal.
