Vagabond Life

My name is Kip. When my friends and I discovered we had been created in a test tube, that put a crimp in our day. But the adult secret conspiracy went deeper than that. We were living in the 23rd century, a hundred years after the big war. Lots of people died and the few remaining had to sort out how to survive. In our case, we lived our young lives in relative luxury, similar to our 20th century counterparts, but soon we discovered the cops, the government and other nasties were after our parents and now after us. This is our story of running away, meeting new synthetic friends (Synths), Skinwalkers, aliens and the lot. But the real brain bender was my three friends and I had these things called Cloud powers. Mine were always on the fritz, but my three friends seemed to do okay with telepathy and other powers. As we sorted things out we kept running, until one day the Hopi tribe took us in like little lost puppies. Then things got wonderfully normal for a while, until years later the craziness landed and we were on the run again. This story is about how we found purpose in our lives and how we finally discovered why we were made. Spoilers, we were supposed to save the world. Fat chance, I said.
