The Mafia's Forbidden Heat Bond lessen
THORNE POVThe detention camps started appearing within weeks of the Guangzhou bombing and I knew we were losing this fight. Not just politically but emotionally. The constant fear and pressure was breaking people and breaking the bonds that held us together.I found Rin on the roof of our safe house staring at the city lights. Through our bond I felt his exhaustion and something else. Loneliness despite being connected to a thousand minds."When was the last time it was just us," I asked sitting down beside him."I do not remember. Weeks maybe. Everything has been crisis management and coalition meetings and trying to keep people from being arrested.""I miss you."He turned to look at me and through the bond I felt surprise mixed with relief. "I am right here. We are always connected.""That is not the same as actually being together. Just you and me without a thousand other people in our heads."Through our private channel he sent warmth and longing. "I miss you too. I miss when o
The Mafia's Forbidden Heat Government
RIN POVThe world government summit in Geneva was supposed to be our moment. Representatives from forty seven countries gathering to discuss the future of bond networks and collective consciousness. We had been invited to present our case for legal recognition and protection. It felt like progress.I should have known better.We arrived with a delegation of twelve people representing the coalition. Michael from the medical network. Sarah Chen who had become our unofficial spokesperson. Dr. Voss providing technical expertise. And Thorne and me as the original bonded pair that had started everything.The summit hall was massive and intimidating. Hundreds of delegates and observers. Security everywhere. Media cameras recording everything. Through the network I felt nervous energy from our delegation and tried to project calm even though I felt anything but.The first two days were procedural. Presentations from various experts about the science of bonding and the social implications of
The Mafia's Forbidden Heat Amplified
THORNE POVThe assassination attempt happened on a Thursday while I was giving a speech at the United Nations about network rights. A man in the audience stood up with a modified electromagnetic weapon designed to overload bond connections and fired it directly at my head.I felt the pulse hit me like a sledgehammer to my consciousness. Every bond connection in my network screamed in agony simultaneously. One thousand minds experiencing my pain amplified through collective consciousness. For a moment I thought I was dying and taking everyone connected to me down with me.But then Rin was there through the bond pulling strength from every person in our network and using it to shield my mind from the worst of the damage. The pulse scattered against our combined consciousness and dissipated.Security tackled the shooter before he could fire again. Medical personnel rushed toward me. And through the network I felt one thousand people breathing in relief that I was still alive."Status re
The Mafia's Forbidden Heat Paranoia
RN POVTwo weeks after the electromagnetic attack we lost our first subnetwork to internal collapse. Twenty three people connected through a community garden project in Portland. They had bonded quickly and intensely and then something went wrong. One person developed paranoid delusions and instead of the network helping him it amplified his fears until all twenty three people were experiencing the same paranoia simultaneously.By the time we realized what was happening they had barricaded themselves in a warehouse convinced that everyone outside their network was trying to kill them. Local police surrounded the building. The media covered it like a hostage situation. And through the Inter Network Coalition I felt other networks watching and wondering if they would be next."We need to get them out before someone does something stupid," I said to Thorne."How do we extract people from their own paranoid delusions when those delusions are being shared and reinforced by twenty two other
The Mafia's Forbidden Heat The network.
THORNE POVThe network hit one thousand people on a Tuesday morning and I felt it the moment the thousandth bond locked into place. The collective consciousness shifted and expanded and suddenly there were too many voices to track individually. We had become something massive and incomprehensible and I was not sure if that was evolution or disaster.Rin collapsed next to me and pressed his hands against his temples. Through our bond I felt the same pressure I was experiencing. A thousand minds pressing against our consciousness demanding attention and guidance and connection."We need to create subnetworks," Dr. Voss said and she looked as exhausted as we felt. "The human brain cannot process this many simultaneous connections. You need to organize people into smaller groups that can operate semi independently.""How do we do that without fragmenting the entire network," I asked."You create hierarchy. Nodes within nodes. Small groups of ten to twenty people connected closely to each
The Mafia's Forbidden Heat Choice system
RIN POVThree months after we implemented the choice system the network had grown to four hundred and twelve people. Most of them were relief workers and journalists and activists who had worked closely with our teams and chosen to accept the bond when it started forming. A few were random people who had thought about us intensely enough to trigger a connection and decided they wanted to be part of something larger than themselves.Managing that many minds was exhausting even with Thorne sharing the load. Every day brought new problems. Someone could not control their connection and was overwhelmed by input. Someone else wanted out but had accepted the bond too long ago to sever it safely. Two bonded people fell in love through the network and then realized they hated each other in person.We had become accidental therapists and mediators and leaders for hundreds of people we barely knew.I was sitting in what had become my office trying to process requests from three different disas
