Today we have learned that there is lile elsewhere in the universe. Will our
own existence ever be the same? And as if for lagniappe. AXIS informs us that
it may have discovered the remains of cities. We will provide complete

coverage of all revelations from North Cape and expert analysts around the
globe as we receive them.
LltVid 21 is not given to hyperbole. We try to put a different spin on what
we report, to change vectors and aim for the truth beyond what mere facts
present, but today we are flabbergasted into uniformity with other vidnet
casts. AXIS has found what might be cities on another world, a green world.
B-2, the second planet of Alpha Centauri B.
Throughout time, humans have wondered whether we are alone, whether we would
have the entire universe to ourselves. For most of our history, except for a
few visionaries, we thought travel in space was unlikely, and travel to the
distant stan seemed beyond imponibllity, raw fantasy. Yet our technological
progress and our innate urge to explore ever outward compelled us to travel to
the moon and planets. We found them empty of life.
Our space telescopes confirmed the existence of planets much larger than
Earth around distant stars; we could not know whether any Earth sized planets
existed, but our instincts told us they did, and in 2017. five nations, headed
by the young technological giant China, decided to build the first
interstellar probe. Reluctantly, the United States was persuaded to join,
making six, and contributed Its own considerable expertise in space to the
project. Built in orbit around the Earth using the largest Chinese orbital
platform
Golden Dawn as a base. AXIS, the
Automated explorer of Interstellar Space, came to life. . . In a manner of
speaking.
Roger Atkins. a senior executive at Mind Design Inc and the head designer of
AXIS s intelligence systems, put together a combined bioelectronlc thinker
with capabilities far beyond a single human individual, yet without
sell-awareness. As Atkins said in 2035, five years into his part of the
project:"
(Vid interview playback. Atkins short and stout with feathery thinning brown
hair, wearing a black skinlorm) We do not want to send an artificial human
out there.
AXISs thinker will do a better job than a human would; It will be designed
especially for its job. But we will not neglect the poetry aspect, nor will
AXIS be blind and incapable of opinion. Alter all, one cycle of communication
with AXIS will take more than eight and a hall years by the time It reaches
Its goal; it s going to be very alone out there, and it s going to have to
think and make important decisions by itself. It will have to make
judgments heretofore reserved for human beings.
We ve also designed it with a built in and very strong desire to communicate
with others, besides Its builders; AXIS will be social
In a unique new way. It will want to meet and communicate with strange new
intelligences, should there be any.
David Shine: Right now. It looks as if AXIS will have Its chance.. .In brief,
our scientists have made a simulacruxn of a human being, better than human but
not fully human a challenge for philosophers. and sent it on Its fifteen year
journey to Alpha
Centauri. Those decades of effort and travel have returned a discovery that
may change the way we think of ourselves, of life, of all that is important.
We are not alone. Frankly, we at LltVld 21 believe It Is time to
celebrate...But
AXIS scientists urge caution. AXIS has almost certainly discovered life. But
the towers that AXIS has seen may yet prove to be something other than
buildings or cities.
