Part 23 - New Eugenentics

For years adults were under the impression their children were getting smarter because of computers and all manners of electrical gadgetry while in actual fact they weren’t.
It was a myth that Hugh Jenning wanted perpetuated. The real story was that everything was getting easier and real skills like being lost. Skills, such as mental calculating and farming, crafts like wood and metal working as well hunting and animal husbandry. Skills that were these days automated and required either someone to put something in and take it out again or push a button.
The highly suspicious NE logo...

Part 22- Somewhere in Europe - Introducing Hugh Jenning

Hugh Jenning was the head of the multi national corporation New Era.
Jenning had a scientific background but had made his fortune by
Hugh Jenning as he sees himself.
producing some of the most inane television shows in history.
He was indirectly responsible for creating, producing and worldwide promotion of such shows as Big Brother , Survivor , I’m a celebrity get me out of here! and The Pop Idol music phenomenon.
This was all part of Jenning’s master plan.
The dumbing down of the world population until only the supremely intelligent could rule..
Jennings field was – not as everybody thought – in television production, nor was it (as he had recently made big overtures) political lobbying.
Hugh Jenning’s chosen field was social engineering.
His secret passion: world domination.
Jenning had gathered terabytes of data from the marketing people connected to his television productions and used all the statistics and information to pinpoint the most susceptible part of the population to control.
And every year that number pushed further into the majority.
Many Governments were aware of Jenning’s work and were more than willing to fund and provide valuable information for exchange of his research.
He knew their wants their needs and what it took to control them.
Recently an important event occurred that marked a turning point in his plans, of all the major target groups that had been identified never at any time had they ALL reacted to a popular event like the Beatlesque type mania that surrounded the pop group I.Q=∞.
Even Lady Di’s funeral didn’t register as high as the interest they were generating.
But these latest developments were extremely exciting to Jenning, whose ulterior motives were well hid.
Only he held the secret of what NE really stood for: New Eugenetics.
The making of his own super race by deleting those in his view not fit to breed.
It looked like Hugh Jenning’s NE Group had found it’s glue to go the next step beyond.

Part 21 - Meanwhile in Paris Part 2

Missy Pheelyne has the reputation as the world’s most infamous groupie.
Since just before her 17th birthday she had travelled the world using her talents to live a lifestyle many would die for.
For years Missy’s philosophy had been simple: you give a little and take a lot. Use those that use you.
The majority of the times were a blast but every now and again things turned sour.
Like now for instance.
Stuck in a train station in Paris and trying to get back to London before Saturday because the Rolling Stones Wives had for the first time in history enforced a “No concubine” clause in the tour schedule.
How the mighty had fallen she thought.
It was time for a change, a bigger challenge. Rock stars today were so predictable and she already had a new target. One which would make her some serious cash with the Gossip Mags. She mulled this over as she played with the key she had found in the locker rooms (it would make a pretty necklace she thought earlier) and planned her next conquest.

Part 20 - Meanwhile in Paris Part 1

Meanwhile at Gare du Nord train station in Paris the Epiphany stone was enjoying the cool surrounds of the locker it had picked for itself. Things were going fine and sometimes a change was as good as a holiday.
The E stone had decided it had been a while since it had had some fun at the expense of someone stupid enough to lay claim as “owner” of it.
The E stone loved to play games with humans, the last 30 years in Zimbabwe were proof to that.
The next part of his plan was evolving slowly, it needed a bit more sleep before it started to take shape. The locker key was currently in the hands of it’s new owner and was making it’s way to the only person it considered worthy to posses it.

Part 19 -The very first gig

The rise of I.Q=∞ was so meteoric no one could have guessed how popular the Brothers of the Abbey would become.

Soon it was decided that they couldn’t remain an unknown entity they had to get out and promote their songs.

Marcel and James had resigned themselves that it was something they had to do.
David – however – though extremely excited about being an anonymous superstar had some serious reservations about singing in public.

Since David was “manager” he organised a series of practice gigs before the main tour.


He neglected to tell the others they would be fan free and each one was in a progressively larger venue.
David thought he had his fear beaten when it come around to the first official concert:

With disastrous results.

Part 18 - David's management skills

Early in the piece David’s inexperience led him to doing deals with ANYONE.
