Dark Future short stories - Second - A Tight Pussies Perspective

 

A Tight Pussies Perspective

 

Squeezy had her name for a reason. A mean one. She was making her way in the anarchic parts of the sprawl right in the shadow of a few high risers and pretty much next to the old rail way station that lost its original use and turned into a slum with a constantly changing chaos of barracks, tents and boxes that gave shelter to those that failed with coping with the constant drug levels of the society after the downfall.

The name came from her implant that combined with elite force level training turned her into an assassin of very special kind. She had her vagina upgraded to another level beyond believe. She was part of the blood squad to the prostitutes that got independent from men by making use of a Sten Gun version and cheap ammo that flooded the streets during the downfall.

The construction was simple and based on a very old design, but upgraded with a 3D printed pistol grip, loaded from the bottom instead of sideways and came with or without a laser pointer or basic optic. That was some time ago and the guns were still around, but she made her way further up. She was born when these guns had their peak in use and the women of the trade took independence by force against their old pimps and especially the police forces everyone ripped into pieces anyway, in these years known as the downfall when society crashed hard.

They owned a few streets in between the secured high risers and the old railway station. It was also the party centre for the anarchic parts of the sprawl full of synth drug dealers that had to give them their share and bars, clubs and restaurants serving the shadows.

She was not part of the ladies security squad that still used the Sten Gun version, but had a rooftop appartement with her wife and another couple of the same status and trade.

They dealed in information and secured those few streets against the ConMen that too often were tempted to pay their bills brute force instead of as agreed.

Someone managed to do the impossible and ripped the shooting star of financial entrepreneurs that just recently made it onto the most important manager magazine front page into minced meat creating a few dozen clients for the psychologic and mental health doctors of about a dozen companies. Someone got way too loud for his own good. Someone that was already shit scary known as the Black Striker. Someone that no one would have believed to be capable of such an sophisticated operation. Someone nobody knew more about than that he was riding a black prehistoric fuel based motorcycle, in an all black bullet proof combat suit on military level that never spoke, but indicated yes or no with his head only and would always create a mess, a real mess when terminating a target charging the highest rates and collecting them.

Someone that killed some years ago an entire slave owner village deeper in the woods north west and left a message for the ConMen that took advantage of the slaves on pretty ugly synth drugs. He crucified the three leaders and burned the crosses live streaming all of it onto the video screens of the bars down in Squeezies streets on a Saturday night peak when the ConMen freaked out in the VIP lounges of these few streets and those with cash from the anarchic parts blew it all over the place freaking out even more.

There was no more freaking out any more this evening. It costed them a little fortune.

Nobody knew where the dozen slaves went to and why this guy even left a pretty nasty puzzle of effective booby traps.

Actually, nobody knew for real that it was Black Striker, but Squeezy was in the information business and the Con Squad leader that was sent to check if any of their managers survived loosing almost all of his men was a reliable customer addicted to her pussy and that very special performance enhancing cocktail they would offer along with her special services to shoot them away from this earth and reality into a space of sexual high only gods were able to enter. That’s what the flyer said. 

He also did not directly mention it, but all of this happened after Black Striker was hired for a job to take out a ConMen that started to miss the appropriate doses of a very different synth drug than the ladies cocktail and considered his secretary an appropriate object to turn his sadistic desires into reality right within the HR office he was head of.

She died a painful death. He than went on the run and managed to get out of the safe zone into the old railway station. Black Striker was hired to make a point and to restore confidence within the lower ranks of the office staff. Those that did the actual work. 

The thing with Black Striker was that he always kept waving his hand in the pub he entered if a direct meeting with the client was needed and the dark net conference room did not suite him for any reason to get more information. The ConMen hiring Striker gave Striker a full picture and even mentioned the village, which he actually should not have done, especially he was a regular their, too. 

First, Striker killed the ConMen on the run who was hiding in the upper floors of the old railway station in a former fast food restaurant and along with him the gang that until then run the railway stations synth drug supply using military grade hand grenades, a few rockets and finally, as always, about a thousand rounds in a heavy rain of bullets to wipe out the gang he actually had a meeting with to talk about the ConMens head price. They should have known that Striker was not the chatty type of person upfront. Unfortunately, they also used their own product, like everyone. 

Striker rose prices afterwards, quite successfully. 

He than caused, but also finished the most violent and shortest, but a rather small gang war in the sprawl. After the second synth drug gang he took out using a flame thrower before emptying the full auto gun the others decided to stop hiring him and sorted their disputes out in person directly from now on. 

So, he was back being a ConMen exclusive again for everyone in and outside the safe zone afterwards, while inititally actually a ConMen had hired him to take out one of the gangs and this beast of a crazy freak also had their biggest rivals pay him, beside stripping the gang from all their valuable assets. Gold and Silver coins where the preferred pay for their cooks and a hacker stripped their dark net accounts while the flame thrower burned down their place. 

The second gang was that biggest rival that thought they could ambush Striker on payday. They lost their pub underestimating his combat suit that easily withstand their 9mills. A suite that was developed for elite military units shortly before the downfall, that was not available anywhere and Squeezy was looking for - for ever, ever. He just reloaded two drums and walked out five minutes after he had beaten the president dead by breaking his skull under his combat boot. 

It must be him. Another time pushing his price up and with this impressive showcase of his extraordinary capabilities someone to save some digital and gold coins for to acquire his services in the near future. 

If he dared to take out an entire board of a Con. A board known for opposing sexual pleasures being a constant pain in the arse to the ladies, yet powerful and influential.

Mmh. Let’s wait and see if he managed to survive the councils retaliation attempts. And what his price would be afterwards....

Eristic Dialectic and the beginning of a Dark Future

Arthur Schopenhauer put out in 1830 an essay titled the art of being right and set seed of all anti-social dark future utopias and tragically also realities from back than on.

Basically, he describes and gives a rule book on how to kill someone arguing based on logic and honorable good will, by all means, legal or forbidden, honorable or just mean.

That way of never backing down or just pretending to retreat, instead regrouping behind a trap, of not accepting defeat but preparing for another hit just with different weapons and tactics, of winning no matter how or never loosing, but learning a lession only in a verbal arguement was turned just a hundred years later by military warfare and civil surpression into history today known as total war and nazi fashism, of an order is an order and Ausschwitz.

They lost without leaving anyone being victorious. Nothing and no place on earth got back to before and Second World War reshaped mankind like no other conflict ever.

The idea and strategy to get what desired by any means no matter what is still around as a widely accepted way. Even the CIA supposed to protect the free world, proudly mentions its "clandestine" and "disguise" departments turning commando operations into killing squad operations and betrayale into standard procedures, instead of being ashamed.

The dark future sci-fi genre is a warning anti-human utopia of what the contemporary could turn into and a blue print for others.

When listening to other Cyberpunk musicians I feel that I have not found another musician that shares my style. All appear to be pretty much stuck in a rather narrow band of rythm, melody and drum use.

I wonder if they see that dark future utopia as a desirable place to be, creating music as that soundtrack, yet not understanding that the Punk in Cyberpunk is a rebell, that a Punk is opposing the establishement which are in the dark future utopia nations and corporations using Shopenhauers basic ideas as first choice against everyone, leaving only the shadows up for those that choose to be different. A world of constant disguise and clandestine opperations by small squads to reach any economical goal or gain power. 

May my tunes be rocking the resistance forces in that parallel universe of cyperbunk shadowrunners sticking together already.

A Cyberpunk Dark Lord

That ConMan in that so fascinating dark future Cyberpunk world, which has a mirrored him in the Real World, having both no moral stopping points from hiring mercanaries to run a diamond mine, ensuring drug transport routes reliability or just selling more cheap, crapy ammunition and AK copies into troubled areas of this world might one day become a Dark Lord. A Darth Vader of Cyperpunk, a society of dominating shadows.

A dark lord is running a feudalistic system being quite on the top of the food chain. 

Feudalistic from Feudalism. That word is interesting. I had Latin classes and sucked pretty bad, while the language itself fascinated me. While I was utterly bad in translating school texts, readig the septingua, the latin script of the Bible, was so fascinating that I was considering learning also old Hebrew and Arabic, but a day only has 24h and I sleep a lot.

Also, the teacher did not like any dicsussion of Latin - German wordlists. 

So, if you are a teacher within the German school system or alike, especially on Latin, be worned strong content is following and we recommend to stop reading. Me, myself and I, like all of me do recommend strongly.....Anyway, have a laugh:

Latin was the basis of communicaton of the Roman empire, a state build on slavery and surpressing other people by conquering with force which took in its early days old antik greek as its base.

Feudalism derives from feudum which google today translated as fee. Checking german sources feudum is translated into "Lehn" which describes not a fee or tax but lented soil. Both appear to point at the same root, because you lent and give a fee to keep the property given into your ownership.

So, I thouhgt lets keep rocking that google translate tool and go crazy, like the world of Cyberpunk.

lent = commodarent

borrow = horum mutuo postulaverit

Latin was spoken for a few thousend years way beyond the roman empire and so the language developed. I guess, I just did not feel comfortable with the turns the German scholars took in the last few decades before I hit school and I love abstracting, the teacher don't. I like to put things on a meta level, like having a creative step back, teacher like to stick to the copy and creativity is for the fine arts class, only.

Metaleveling borrow:

Borrow is me giving something away for a period of time (=definition). 

horum mutuo postulaverit is to borrow in latin according to google translate (=definition).

Horum is the hour and on a metalevel a certain time period (=going crazy).

Mutuo might have turned into mutual and therefore on a metalevel stands for two or more persons or groups agreeing, especially in that context.

Postulaverit = I like this one, because my teachers will freak out. Post is past, but like the postal service carrying and going after you until you have it ;-). Laverit might have turned into laverage, which is in its very root meaning responsibiltiy on a metalavel. That mercanary will not use something against you as levarage that you have no responsibilty of, right? And that u? You have to pronounce that somehow, so a vowel, which in even older hebrew is not even written, will do. 

So putting that abstract metalevel thought together, it means I will be after you for the time you have responsibilty on what we agreed onto to keep. :-)

If you can't put that all together you must be one of those teachers I warned to better stop reading, before. Keep hitting those Corona parties...

Metaleveling lent:

Lent is me getting something for a time being. 

Commodarent = Sweet one for crazy people. Comanding and dare hits me. Como is "how" in Italian and if you think of com' o(n) you might read this beyond sober. But back to propa crazy: Basically, on a metalevel this word could mean to dare to take command on something of which how its treated matters. I admit that this is a wild one and that's why I like it.

Feudum so, does not hit any of that even close.

Therefore, I checked old german and was disappinted, but in old english I found this:

feond, noun, m., enemy
feor, adj., far
feorh, noun, n., life
and
dæg, m., day

dæd, noun, f., deed

And to crazy me that makes sense. In a feudalistic society your life might belog to someone that is not your friend in a part of society far away all day long in deed. I wonder if the latin word feudum derives from the Roman occupied english terretories from natives enslaved by the roman conquerors.

In allmost all dark future worlds described in books and games mega-enterprises in the sunlight creating the shadows those stories are all about and are dominating a bipolar society, a society reduced down to only two poles depending on each other, destructing each other further towards either ressurection of humanity or collaps into an apocalyptical Mad Max waste land like in an sociopathic end of mankinds' societies.

To me the Roman Empire is the blue print of a possible dysantrop society of which we already have to many tiny parts in action spread out all over the world and even alive in our western societies. We are far off a feudalistic system here, yet live in a faster and faster moving society. We need movement. We cannot stop movement and all those declaring movement of goods, persons or thoughts like mine, ill and bad will create a dysantrop society more alike dark future sci-fi worlds than the Roman Empire or the dark midages european feudalisim, but as anti-social, as abusive and, inch allah, facing even more resistance than those roman troops in our barbarian wood lands or the saharian desert dry lands.

Jont the Resistance and may the force be with you, Cyberpunk!

Cyberpunk capitalism

The word Democracy of Greek origin means rulership of the people and that comes in several forms. In most western countries we have parlamentarien democracies. The people vote a group from withen themselves to create a parlament to rule them. A parlament is a place to talk and make decisions.

Capitalism is widely known as an economic system based on markets ruled by capital as the main force. Usualy capitalism is in opposite to democracy not further specified even so we have different theories within economic science.

Also, the fact that the original meaning of the word capital is far more than money is usually ignored until you stare at that door where it sais Human Resources und you might wonder why it says Resource instead of Capital. If you have to wait to much time there and keep thinking about avoiding being exploitet like a natural resource in e.g. an african cobalt mine for your managers tesla battery you might find yourself in trouble later on the other side of that door of perception explaining why you are actually a human capital and a major asset for the company that is helping you to pay those bills you actually don't need, due to your intellectual-, work ethical- and social skill capital...

Today we have an accumulating capitalism, while in those dark future Cyberunk societies that form turned into an anarchistic capitalism. 

Today money comes to money. It is a lot easier to make money if you already have money even so you are dump as shit while being smart, talented and having a great set of social skills is no gurantee what so ever to make money. It helps so, I guess.

An anarchistic capitalism does know no rules and everything is possible. You don't like a contract, well get a gun or hire a gun and just kill the other party. You like that car, steel it. Your yacht was stolen? Steel it back. You have a new substance? Test it in the market. They either like it or hopefully die bevore they can warn too many others and you will make profit.

Cyberpunk society, Cyberpunk business and today's war crimes

 Which region is struggling most in this World? 

Africa.

The latest news told me at my little firsts world desk trying to make some buggs with strange, electronic music that in the north of Ethiopia Eritrean forces caused war crimes. 

Just Eritrea sais wasn't me.

So, that area is in the east of Africa close to Yemen, which is in flames too, and Saudi Arabia with its oil is also just next door. Inbetween is the silk road, the actual silk road wich is a ship route connecting Asia and Europe through the Suez Channel a bit further north.

East Africa: Same place where Somaly Pirates make ships speed up. Same area where Black Hawk went down.

Well, kind of same place. The area currently in the news is like 400 kilometeres of heavy terrain. It is like the African version of Vietnam to modern armies. Must be beatiful mountains in times of peace.

There is no way that that strip and its connection to the open sea can or is surveilled by the local forces. Thats third world forces using hand guns like cheap AK copies and Pick-Up Trucks with some ancient anti aircraft gun to kill each other. Some old T74 tanks might be around and possibly NATO screpped of some expensive in running cost figthter jets, too.

For some reason I consider the possibility that those forces commiting crimes there are guns for hire. I mean, that sounds just like a pretty nasty shadow run for a ConMan in the Dark Future Cyperbunk Pen and Pepar game I used to play when I was 15... A ConMan that tries to enforce his MegaCorporations interests for Crypto currency looking for some mercenary. 

Ah... I did not check wich mining companies are currently exploiting that region or which Ships from which Fright company are under most attac by Pirates. Those that could use even smaller boats than the Somalies in that part of the Eastern Cape of Africa the silk road passes by.

But I am well aware of drug money needing to be invested, of 16ts of Kokain seized in Hamburg that are not snorred into some managers small greedy brain he bought of some underworld low life. That would be ConMan and Shadow runner of the Real World. So the drug money buys the unforms, guns, ammo and transportation to get, if coming out alive, crime war money.

 

Megalopolis - A Cyberpunk City Dream

A megalopolis is a super city and even so some areas are allready called as such there is none realy quite yet existing. In the Cyberpunk Pen and Paper Game Shadowrun that made me fall in love with the dark future Sci-Fi genre most action is happening in the Sprawls of the time after 2050 when Shadowrun is placed.

Today dense major towns are sometimes reffered to as a Megalopolis, but from this Cyberpunk Blog perspective they aint no more than Super Large Cities.

A Cyberpunk Megalopolis is way more than a multi million town. It is more dense, more packed. more independent from its sourroundings, more busy with itself by being its own centre.

The only town I am aware of today in 2021 that is at least close to being such a Megalopolis, but I personally never have been to, would be Hong Kong not Chongqing. Chongqing has about 30 Million inhabitants but spread out over 82.300 square kilometers while Hong Kong is populated by about 7.5 Million humans on about 1100 square kilometers equaling 6890 humans per square kilometers instead of about 350 in the actual larger Chongquin region.

Also, Hong Kong is squeezed into a tiny bay with hardly any agrocultural land sourrounding it and growth needs to go vertical. The more humans living on a square kilometer in a large area the more difficult transportation becomes. A standard street and Subway system developed in the early 20iest century wont cut it anymore.

The problem of tomorrows Megalopolis wont be data transportation. What ever comes after 5G and fibre optics will do. But how to get groceries into town, city quarter, block and building and where from? How to keep the air clean and create recreational spaces like parks, gardens and play grounds in a high density building zone?

The Cyberpunk genre novels and games are all about a "dysantrop" society, an anti-social society in which runners are hired by Con-Men to enforce contracts with violence, a world in which Mega Coorporations are acting like Nations and actually exchanged them. The oximoron is that Megalopolis wont be created without mankind advancing in collective social skills.

An ellbow society that already struggles to create a save and quite living without constant traffic and therefore transportation jams of goods and humans in towns just in the two digest millions won't manage the next step from Super City to Megalopolis.

Munich being rich with about 1 Million habitants can't get its constant traffic jam issue sorted and poor Mexico City with about 9 Million is using so much ground water that it starts sinking and dried out its close sourrounding farmland into wasteland.

Neither a major town knwon for being a most important tech hub of a leading economic power nor a troubled town in a nation struggling with todays most dangerous organaized crime organizations are in any respect ready for further growth to the next level of town and society of tomorrow.

This is a human problem. An attidude problem. Not a technical one.

We need sociologic change for the next step in human evolution. We need to be able to better and further connect and interact with each other, our skills, knowledge and abilities or at best we just got stuck ....

MEMES - Cyberpunk Music, ha?

Cyberpunk Music, ha?

I am living in Germany. It helps me to not to freak out, constantly. The Cyberpunk tunes, obviously....

Crazy tunes, vibes, spirits dancing in my mind until I find a place I belong to and my soul calms. This here was a nuclear bomb drop zone and I catched that dam thing. At least in that all repeating day dream I never actually have.

Civil war areas and even those run down neighbourhoods all around the world are a quite straight forward with threats all visible and a clear enemy all around.

Here, they are so hidden and under the surface covered up that everyone will tell you it is just all in your mind and ill imagination. So they will. Highest suicide rate, highest rate of ADHDS diagnoses among children and no way to fit in except you fit in to begin with.

Crazy Cyberpunk Music Loop Tunes make it bearable - just that needed bit, so.

Monkey mind, monk
