As the reform reached into and beyond the decades, it was to be looked back upon as a marvelous shift in human consciousness; it's founders idolized. While the platform of Human-Earth held fast to principals of what it means to be human, Transparencies simply argued that these principals were subject to change and have always changed; that the definition of the modern human was a cultural ideal.
For Colt, the Sun system was a fresh opportunity for reaping quick gains and leaps in power. The Legacy organization was a threat because it had a vested interest in gravitational supports; would go to great lengths to lobby for a mandate. This mandate would require him, by law, to purchase Spin System and the like, products in order to maintain his operations in discoveries.
Up until 2575 both Juno and Legacy were the dominant pioneers of the Sun System. Colt was said to have taken political shots at every opportunity. In much the same way Juno and Legacy were enemies in the Sun System, Human-Earthers and The Transparencies were enemies on the ground.
The greatest of ironies, in the beginning of the intellectual wars, was the fact that it's mother and father figures, Claudia and Colt were to suddenly meet face to face in a diplomatic effort. Perhaps they realized that the polarization of the citizens would escalate into violence. Or was it a game? There were said to have been encrypted communications within the litigations, messages of kindness, from person of extreme power to another. Was it possible that Colt and Claudia had been carrying about litigations and sabotage against the other, all while sharing a mutual affection. In 2590 there were to meet face to face and begin one of the most publicized sexual affairs of all time. By 2600, for his own health, Colt had moved in with Claudia, ironically living in a large scale GHS produced by Spin Systems. On Earth, they were referred to, in a joking manner, as the God King and Queen of the Sun System. Their love seemed to create a temporary relief from the issues that would plague the politics of the 2600's and beyond.

I eagerly await the next posting
