Read My Crap - The Transporters of old

I was back living the house I lived at in the year 2000, up on 6th south and 11th east in Salt Lake City, but it most certainly was not the same universe as we know. It was around the same time, as the TV shows and music I was hearing on the TV in the background was the same. I was sitting in front of a glowing blue computer, something very powerful and different from anything we had back in the year 2000. I was viewing the historical records for this world, which was far more ancient than our current known world. Here, the transporter had been invented and had been for thousands of years now. The internet was also obviously around, but it was even more amazing than it is now and with transporter technology, we could pretty much bring into reality anything we wanted at any time, but for all the years the transporter had existed, there were still many flaws and errors that no one seemed to be able to fix. This would lead to a bloody and brutal history.

In the beginning, thousands of years ago, there was the issue of the transporter creating a clone of the person transporting. Yes, just like that old Star Trek episode, but instead of being evil the clones were ALWAYS ridiculously stupid. They would have the same looks, basic needs, general stats and all, but had a dangerously low IQ, no matter how smart the original person was. Some of them could talk, but would just ramble on about nothing on a constant basis, super annoying, but thankfully most couldn't speak. We didn't know what to do with them, they would just bumble about running into walls, each other, falling down stairs, and causing major problems everywhere, as the tech was growing in popularity and therefore, so were the clone hordes. The people would just kind of dismiss them or drive them up into the mountains and drop them off in the middle of nowhere to meet whatever fate awaited them, like being devoured by wildlife or falling into rivers, lakes, and streams and drowning, falling off cliffs, walking directly into wildfires, etc. At first it wasn't a huge problem, but that changed quickly.

Soon, the generators at the hydroelectric dams began to become jammed and clogged from the clone carcasses floating down from the mountains and the power started to become spotty, water supplies are sources were becoming fouled and undrinkable due to the amount of carcai, so finally at one point in the past the big corporate giants tried to use the clones as super cheap labor, what a great idea! But that soon led to disaster as they were so stupid, they would walk right into furnaces, off roofs or tall buildings, crushers, meat grinders, etc. The industry of the world nearly came to a grinding halt as machinery in most of the factories became plugged up clone gibs. So that that was no longer an option, but something had to be done. So, then they tried to train them to be soldiers to fight in our wars, but when the armies met on the battlefield, they would just kind of stand there and do nothing or lay down with each other and just go to sleep. So it actually brought a swift end to war, as even the stupidest wouldn't fight and since the results were usually so humorous that everyone would have a laugh and we'd end up working things out, so the clones kind of unwittingly brought an end to violent conflict, at least for us normies.

As time went on something changed in the clones, they developed a huge sex drive and now wanted to bang everything. They didn't care what it was, if they could bang it, they'd bang it. The porn industry had never been more happy, totally non-thinking human bodies that look good, are sterile, and are totally DTF all the time! So the clones started to become more like pets, people would take them in, feed them, cloth them, bang them, keep them happy, like some kind of living Real Doll. But eventually abuse started to run rampant and waste facilities began filling with the corpses of dead clones. Things were taking a dark turn for society as people were getting tired of their clones and just killing them.

Yes, things got bloody in those years, hundreds of thousands of clones were rounded up, mercilessly executed, and buried in giant mass graves, leading to what today were known as "The fields of bones", as none of the graves were very deep, so after hundreds and hundreds of years, the rain and weather would wear down the soil leading to actual fields of exposed bones from the ancient times. S, it wasn't unusual to be planting a garden or building a house in present times and running into hundreds of skeletons only a few feet below. It had become a huge problem and eventually the Governing body passed a law banning the unnecessary and mass killing of clones. But what to do now?

As time went on it turned out that some of the clones were smart enough to do basic things like push a broom or shovel dirt. Those that could were put into service by the cities and after that point we sure had beautiful gardens and landscaping and the streets were clean and litter free, but at what cost? The majority of clones were locked up in giant warehouses at night like human cattle, where they would just bumble about, perfectly content to eat, drink, sleep, and bang everything in sight. It didn't seem like a very good thing to do, but what else could be done?

Then, only a thousand or so years before, we harnessed and perfected the art of DNA, at this point we were able to at least engineer the clones to be a little more helpful and more like actual human beings, they were still super dumb, but finally intelligent enough to be able to live on their own and not in pens like cows, but as their intelligence grew, so did their anger at the way they had been treated for decades and the seeds of revolt were sewn. Soon the world would face another great clone war, but this time they would be the ones fighting us. They swore that this time it would be our bones littering the fields in the future and large scale movements began to take the land from us and make us the slaves! The clones would take over entire neighborhoods and butcher those who lived there, using us a meat source for them and their hordes. Things were looking bad for humanity, but soon another great advancement in our technology would help save us.

We began creating replicas of past great leaders to help us deal with these problems. At the time, we were under president JFK the 65th I believe, which would probably be followed by another Lincoln, who knows. But once again, there were the same old problems, every time one of these great leaders was cloned in the transport systems, another completely stupid version would also show up. So you'd get Smart Lincoln and Stupid Lincoln. It wasn't unusual to see an FDR, Lincoln, or JFK working in the gardens all around town, at least now they had the wit to handle a shovel and hoe. But, a new problem was to arise.

The hackers had figured out a way to combine the DNA of many people together inside the transporter system, this hack was called "Absorb", so basically you could combine multiple people into one, creating a kind of super human, or super criminal, etc. During the great wars, they had used it to combine our greatest Generals and military men into one ultimate General, El Ocho. He was the combination of 18 of the worlds top Generals all in one package and at first it worked, the wars were nearing the end, our victory was assured, the enemies would flee in fear of the mighty El Ocho but something was starting to happen to the great General. He had taken to wearing sunglasses all the time and wore a coat that was filling with more and more medals every time he appeared in person, he was now always surrounded by an entourage of beautiful women and yes men. Then, of course, he turned to evil.

The suffering was great among the people under the despotic rule of El Ocho. But wouldn't you know it, finally, it was the old clones that saved us. Wave after wave they stormed his compound, hundreds and hundreds killed every second, but the sheer number of them were overwhelming and soon, El Ocho and his Entourage of Evil were defeated. The people rejoiced and the remaining clones were marked as heroes. They had no real idea why, but heroes nonetheless!

I read on and on into the history of this strange world and it seemed to go on forever. At this point in time, the current time, the transporter systems had been outlawed, deemed to be inhumane, and mostly disassembled and destroyed, yet there were many still in operation in secret, clones still appeared and it looked like it could all just happen all over again. The Bio Hackers were creating better and better clones of themselves and there was worry that soon superhuman gangs would rule the streets and soon the world. But I wasn’t worried, I got up from the computer and gazed out the front window at my JFK clone weeding my garden in ignorant bliss. I sipped my whiskey drink in contentment, as It really didn't matter, I felt good, life was good here for the moment.
