Nine Views of Transco Tower, by Iak/Sohu: A Science Fiction Short Story

by Raymund Eich

Overview

An alien artist's works.

A once-great city.

The freedom of humankind.

Decades ago, the Ramuhlruus ended the quarantine of Earth and
inducted humankind into the galactic community. They offered peace,
prosperity, virtual reality, and immortality to all humans... wealth and
privilege to a select few...

In exchange for a billion years of stagnation.

Now, a son of privilege returns to Earth. His position as a secret
agent for the Ramuhlruus gives him the perfect cover to conspire against
them. A set of famous images by alien artist Iak/Sohu give him locations
around a once-great city to meet his contact.

Can he find his contact, and give hope to the few human beings who
still seek adventure among the stars? Or will the Ramuhlruus and their
other agents uncover his secret agenda and erase his mind?
