The Divine Dissimulation [Complete]

Chapter 15 The Angels

In the 28th century, all the major factions on Earth had programs dedicated to finding genetically gifted individuals and use these individuals for breeding and further improvement of the human genome. House Goldstein was no different and had a project code-named the Angel project. 

As these individuals were separated early from their families, their loyalty stemmed directly to the leader of the faction as they were indoctrinated to do so. While loyalty could never be guaranteed to 100 per cent the 30 men that Abraham Goldstein brought with him was the closest, he could get to complete loyalty.

The angels were an awe-inspiring sight. They had tall and athletic bodies with perfect posture. They also had perfect symmetry in their faces, which gave them astounding beauty. They were also intellectually superior and mentally stable.  Their only flaw was their complete emotional detachment, which inhibited their ability to form meaningful relationships with other humans. For Abraham, this was not a flaw, however, as his angels' emotional detachment made them even more loyal to his cause.

Despite his follower's loyalty Abraham wanted more control, the Angel chip was his solution.  Being able to control the Angels with his mind, they would do his physical bidding when his body had given up.

A month later Abraham and his crew reached B528B the small asteroid orbiting the much larger asteroid B528A. They were not much to see in their current state just empty dark rocks floating through the vastness of space. But Abraham saw something different; he saw divine providence; these dark and cold rocks should soon be the place for him to rule as a deity.
