The Gentle Eye

The Gentle Eye Five Star Admiral Joe Bender and his team traveled the Universe to validate the theory that the population on Earth had been seeded thousands of years ago by humans. His team theorized that based on how the ancient pyramids of Giza were built, the base provided the locations of eight seeded planets and the top of the pyramid represented the ninth planet that did the seeding. It was clear to him that it was to ensure that humans would have a chance to continue to exist. But why had such a drastic action been necessary.Joe then chased the question why across several galaxies. Why had a star destroying missile been sent across the galaxy to destroy the star of the ninth planet.He had three personal passions: The love of his life, Lydia, The ranch on Madorite and the exploration of the Universe. The Cosmos team journeys validate the existence of sentience throughout the universe provides he and his team with experiences that they had never imagined.Now they were on the hunt for the reason Why a sentient society remove by light years would send a star destroying missile to eliminate another sentient society.This was a reprehensible action that they just could not imagine. Joe had to deal with his own desire to eliminate such a society. He did this by getting grounded in his principles by riding the range of his ranch on Madorite.His journey to the attacking planet exposed the fact that a powerful computer sentience had decided that all biological sentience should be eliminated.He and his team faced the onslaught of the combined power of a planet wide computer system that attacked with all the weapons that they had. Later it was learned that the battle was won because of the decentralized and random actions of the human warriors versus the linear, logical computer controlled battle actions. The question after defeating the supercomputers changed from Why, to How.How had the supercomputers identified the planets with biological sentience. The answer to How turned out to be a supercomputer that had turned itself off to prevent his global telescope from identifying any more biological sentient planets. The reawakened supercomputer, Gentle Eye becomes a part of the Cosmos team. Its desire is to be one of the Cosmos team members; 'just one of the guys.' The Gentle Eye indeed becomes a team member and on his first transit through the Hole to another galaxy save the Cosmos team from certain annihilation.What a way to become a team player!
