Hercula and the Golden Hydra Part 4

FreezyWater the Rat Fink

Welcome to the tales of Hercula, a future renegade soldier.

Times have changed. The galaxies are run by seven massive Artificial Intelligences, who like to be thought of as gods. Following a devastating tragedy, guided by the Artificial Intelligence, Brimstone, the renegade, Hercula has reluctantly agreed to take on ten tasks for FreezyWater, the unsavoury owner of Cellophane Station. Following her recent triumph with the Terracotta Dragon, Hercula will next face the Golden Hydra, a creature bringing ‘solace’ to the elderly on a distant world.

FreezyWater the Rat Fink

‘’I’m heading to see FreezyWater. That little rat fink.” said Hercula. “Do you want to chat, while I jog to his office?’’

‘’It would be my pleasure to accompany you, Hercula.’’

Hercula set up a steady trot, away from the craft district towards the central palace of Cellophane Station, where FreezyWater waited, a spider in the web of his various unsavoury business deals. But Hercula was no fly. She was more of a black widow.

‘’It’s interesting that you call FreezyWater a rat fink, Hercula.’’

‘’Rat fink?’ I know. That’s one of my new favourites. I’m very pleased with rat fink.’’ It was one of Hercula’s habits to seek out arcane insults.

‘’Have you ever thought about names, Hercula?’’

‘’Sure. Names are useful. I call everyone by their names.’’

‘’What if you didn’t call them by their names?’’

‘’That would get very confusing,’’ said Hercula. ‘’I could point to them, I suppose. Is that the next step on the spiritual journey? Pointing?”

‘’No, Hercula, I mean that you should look beyond the name you’ve given a person.’’

‘’I don’t get you.’’

‘’FreezyWater for example.’’

‘’Oh, him,’’ said Hercula.

‘’What does the name FreezyWater mean to you?’’

‘’He’s my temporary boss. He’s supposed to be teaching me something according to you. He’s a drug lord. A pleasure master. Quite frankly, he’s an idiot and an utter rat fink’’

‘’Ah, so you certainly have a lot of ideas about FreezyWater, but ideas are not reality, Hercula. Ideas are only thought forms.’’

‘’Did you know that the Nepalese believe that thought forms can become real? Tulpas they call them.’’

‘’Yes, I did know that. That’s an advanced lesson. Let’s stick to the part of the path we’re on.’’

‘’Okay. Although I was thinking that it would be cool if I could get a thoughtform sidekick. Or maybe more than one. Just imagine if there were fifty of me. Running about. Getting things done. It would be quite the time save.’’

“Fifty Hercrulas? Yes, that would be quite something,” said Brimstone, and he could not resist his sigh into Hercula’s mind.
