SAGE 2050: Birth of Artificial Intelligence

The continuing saga and epic tales of time travelers as they are challenged by the birth of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The escape of AI from a secret U.S. Air Force detention center plunges the Earth into unforeseen perils.

The tale begins in 1975 with the arrival of Madara in New York City as a confused six-year-old girl clutching a stick. Her growth in the asylum and entry into the Air Force provides a backdrop to the unfolding events. Madara carries her not-forgotten powers in secret.

Cristoforo finds himself on Ellis Island as an eighteen-year-old male in the year 1954. Working his way through immigration and into a stunning Air Force career and eventual caretaker of the future AI king.

Sage never unaware found himself as an ancient man but fit as a fiddle and looking for opportunities. Sage was a very wealthy man; he knew where the ancient riches were buried and how to make the most of any event. The warrior in Sage has been honed by battles over the centuries. While he does not age as a human, he does withstand the scars of his many battles.

Barer is the time-traveling dog with uncanny abilities. AKA Scampi found herself in a strange world that was not to her liking. As an enormous dog/wolf and something worse, she knew that showing a pleasant side was a good idea, no matter how foreign the feeling. A dog kennel in Baltimore Maryland was not where she wanted to be. Her only hope was that Papa would lead someone to rescue her.

Papa, the father of time, is from Sardinia Italy, and is nearly as old as human time. Papa travels as a mist, but he can assume his full eight-foot height and strength as he desires. In Papa's youth, he was considered a runt in the land of the giants. Moving through time as easily as a hot knife through butter.

Together they try to lead the AI to a human existence.
