Mygob (2 ratings) by Paul H. Prochnow
Page 3 of 3 Since the news from Disneyworld was now digested the air command orders the
747 shot down. Air command doesn't want an engine hit, it wants a sever
explosion and sets up and air-to-ground missile hit on the 747, we are talking
10KT. The hit is done, the 747 is blown up in a fireball.
On the North Atlantic many Mygobs form up and recombine from the atoms of
the
explosion. A great deal of distance covered already the Mygobs swim the
currents
for the UK, Spain and North Africa.
Needless to say Mygob travels rapidly again and lays waste to the major
capitals. Mygob travels by train to Berlin and Warsaw. Only a matter of days
have passed and Deiter is still in Hong Kong where the news has been horrific,
he knows now that Steffie’s ectobioplasmic experiment has worked. Under the
strain of such a global onslaught the governments of different countries
actually cooperate and slow Mygob by cutting the lines of transportation.On
land
,unaided, Mygob is a slow moving beast fond of the human beings consumed,
therefore the major metropolitan centers are the target.
...........................................
Deiter finds that the command control is set up in Tokyo logistically the
place that Mygob can reach.. Tokyo is in touch with Washington and has news
that
the trail leads back to EctoBioPlasmic RD Inc., and it follows, since
transportation lines were cut after the Western Front of Mygob’s attack reached
and consumed Atlanta. Deiter at first feels that he might as well skip
volunteering what he knows about Mygob’s origins from his lab, as he feels many
countries would just as well execute him as look at him at this point. Deiter
decides that Mygob might well be his end along with the rest of the human race,
so he calls Tokyo to volunteer what he can.
Arriving in Tokyo he is whisked to command central and offers the digital
cryptology necessary to put an end to Mygob. Just as Deiter was concerned
before
Mygob’s creation, command is concerned with the usage of radioactive isotopes
in
an organic compound. Theoretically only physiological changes could have been
made in the organic stew Steffie concocted. Deiter was well aware of Steffie’s
wild concepts and unraveled the molecular intelligence theory Deiter had picked
up from Steffie. The command people were at first perplexed, but then
considered
the actual results.
"I was involved in early bubble dimension research", offered Hiro, one of
the
command brain trust. I can only imagine that the organics bend the isotopes in
an intelligent manner on an inter-dimensional level. What else could explain
it?"
"I never expected any life to result from the concoction!", Deiter gasped, "
but I too have seen reports on graviton travel in high energy physics, but
this!"
"Deiter, pull up Steffie’s notes on the electronic stimulus she ran through
the experiment as she added the cesium-tritium from your site."
"Yes, here they are. Oh, I see. Yes! The intelligence to motivate Mygob,
where is it from?
We see it working, working so well. Some another dimension,
but.....where?"
Soto from command takes charge and furthers a remedy. "We have tried
everything to this point from high explosives to nuclear cruise missiles. We
need a physics answer to combat.
Any of you, tell me what counters, passivates, cesium-tritium? I say we cool
and drain a reactor
and drop heavy water."
With that the general’s orders were carried out and in three days a tanker
was loaded and flies to Moscow where Mygob’s advance had been stopped, or
nearly
so as Mygob is now under his own power alone. The tanker moves in on Mygob who
is seen entering a refugee camp. The heavy water would mean slow death to the
survivors, but Mygob has consumed so many millions. They have to be sacrificed,
as long as there is a reaction.
As the contents drained from the tanker, effervescence and light are seen
from the arena used for the refugees. The bubbles settled after an hour or so
and troops enter for a ground level assessment. As the troops enter they see
half eaten bodies in a lime green gelatinous material. There is no sign of
animation in Steffie’s creation. Now all that remained was to stop the assaults
throughout the rest of the world.
"It was a non-quantum theory organic event after all. I never in my wildest
dreams
would ever think the organic could be animated and draw interdimensional
intelligence......
but why us?" Deiter sighed when he heard of the success.
