World B

part 2
The God fish addendum


The story of what happened on board the “Northern Hope” in the hours that followed the arrival of the god fish, is initially one of survival for the three females on board.
The two kitchen staff and engineer survived only by pretending to see what the males thought they were seeing.
All the time waiting for rescue from the coast guard.
The arrival of the coast guard, however, only served to make a very bad situation worse. As they were almost exclusively male and heavily armed.
If it weren’t for the fact that it is now a requirement for all coast guard vessels to have a female officer on board, to deal with female searches, the God fish may have been brought to a crowed port then.

Private Bes Mack displayed great courage and valour despite only being with the service for a year. Circumstance conspired against her, in such a way, as to force her to kill all her crewmates.

It is unsurprising then that she remains on medical leave to this day…

It is a tragedy that all of private Macks efforts were ultimately in vain.

The creature was successfully taken to an isolated military base fully re-staffed with females. Security was high. Seemingly every precaution had been taken, but it proved impossible to protect against Victoria Reed.

Victoria Reed had been raised by her father, after her mother had died when she was six. Having no extended family Victoria felt she had no one to talk to when, as she grew up, she failed to grow any pubic hair or start menstruating.

The proto- human is female.
All foetuses start as female. It’s the effect of testosterone on the development of the foetus that changes 51% of babies into males.

Victoria Reed was male.
She had a Y chromosome.
And an immunity to testosterone.
Testosterone is responsible for the growth of pubic hair, even in females, and Victoria didn’t menstruate because she didn’t have a uterus. She never knew any of this, all she did know was that when she looked upon the God fish she saw the face of God.

And it told her to show the world....

World B

The God fish

So what have you been told?
Nothing.
Good. What have you observed?
Erm, well apart from all the security, and the way we seem to be miles from anywhere. Every one's female. Even the ones with the guns.

Yes men can't be here.

Six months ago somewhere in the north sea an oil barge found something rather odd. A diver surfaced with a strange fish that caught his eye.
Sorry, what's an "oil barge?"
It's a boat that searches the sea floor for oil. It stays out in the sea all the time, crew and supplies are brought to it by helicopters, those big sea king things that the coast guard uses.
Anyway this diver, a man called Carl Barus, brought the fish on board saying it was an angel.
An Angel?
Yes he was hallucinating. This was a little outside the expertise of the on board medic. So he called shore for an evac. While he was on the radio to the coast guard he said that the fish had "grown quickly", and described it as being like nothing he had ever seen before. There was a short silence, and the medic then said over the radio that Barus was wrong, that it was not an Angel. It was God.
God?
There is a rare form of Frontal lobe epilepsy in which
sufferers can experience religious visions. We know very little about the workings of the frontal lobes, and it's only when something goes wrong with them that get clues as to what they do. Atheists think that many of us believe in a God because of this area of the brain, that has been highlighted by rare epileptics. True believers argue that this area of the brain, that is unique in humans, is there for us to talk to God. A telephone in our heads if you will.
Anyway the coast guard went out to the barge to pick up Barus and the medic. but by the time They got there a small holy war had broken out on board. Many believed the fish to be God, some thought it was Jesus, or an Angel.
Others thought it was Allah and two believed it to be the Buddha.

Is this real?
Oh yes. A lot of people died out there. They used flair guns, wielding torches, fire axes, hammers anything they could get their hands on. For some reason Those who saw one thing found it unacceptable that others may see something different.
So why is everyone here female?
Only men are affected. It seems that the creature has telepathic abilities. It maybe the way it communicates with others of it's kind. Male and female brains are different. Thankfully different enough so that women can't "hear" it.
I do feel something though
Yes a lot of us get a sort of vibrating, buzzing sensation in our heads. Like the radio's not tuned in or something.
Wait. This thing, whatever it is, is telling everyone it's god?
No it's an alien, whatever it's saying it's saying in a alien language, but the only thing that can hear it is the part of the brain in men that deals with religion, and that's over riding any underlying message. It could be saying "I'm hungry." or "Take me to your leader." or "Put me back in the water." all men see however is the face of their God.

Either that, or it's insane and really does think it's God.
I hadn't thought of that.
Where do you think it came from?
It's alien. That's all we know. It has a triple helix. They may have been down there for weeks or they may have been down there for a million years we still don't know.
They?
Yes Barus did say that he saw thousands down there.
