Technopathy

by The madness in me

An unlikely friendship between two technopaths born centuries apart, brought together by their powers. Preserved forever in the system a brilliant mind lives on long after his body dies. In a world growing increasingly dependent on computers what influence will he have?

2. Living on

"Something is going on in the control room"

"Wake up"

"Seriously, I know you can hear me, stop pretending to be asleep."

"Wesley!"

Wesley somehow managed to roll his eyes without even bothering to open them. "I've only been asleep for 4 hours, go away. I'm not due to report for my next shift for at least another 6. Let me rest."

The slightly metallic voice let out an exasperated whine over the coms link. "You don't have to go down, just look."

"Fine" he huffed. Still without opening his eyes the young ensign reached over and placed his hand on the wall mounted console above his bed. He felt the familiar connection as his mind linked with that of the ship and the even more familiar feeling of his best friend pulsing beside him in the system. Moving through the myriad of electrical pathways stretching out between his room and the main deck he synced himself with the various viewing and audio sensors active in that area and settled in to watch the latest ship drama unfold.
