<<<<<< REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - ROADBLOCK

William and Jane, armed with their revolutionary idea of a nano-scale quantum computer, embarked on a quest to secure funding and support. They approached tech giants and government agencies, brimming with excitement and hope. However, their innovative vision was met with skepticism and rejection.

DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, while intrigued by the concept, was hesitant to disrupt its ongoing projects. The agency's scientists, fearing for their positions and the future of their research, quietly undermined William's proposal. Also seeking to illicit vital clues as to the workings of the invention, bugging their apartment and phone lines.

Similarly, tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, and Google, were wary of investing in a radical new technology that could potentially destabilize their existing business models. They preferred incremental innovation to disruptive breakthroughs. With phased introduction of soft and hardware improvements to boost shareholder dividends in a continuous stream of profit making.

As the rejections piled up, William and Jane's spirits began to wane. The financial strain, coupled with the emotional toll of constant setbacks, pushed them to the brink of despair. The allure of stable, well-paying day jobs became increasingly tempting.

As months turned into years, the financial strain on William and Jane began to take its toll. The constant rejection and the lack of progress had started to erode their hope. The once vibrant couple was now plagued by debt and despair.

"Perhaps we should give up," Jane suggested one evening, her voice barely a whisper. "We can find regular jobs, a more stable life."

William, though disheartened, refused to surrender. 

"We're so close," he insisted. "We can't quit now."

"No," said Jane supportively, "we must press on. Thinking caps."

But Anubis, the ever-watchful guardian, intervened. He nudged William towards a more independent path, suggesting that he form his own company. With divine guidance, William and Jane established a startup, attracting investors with their compelling vision.

The god of the underworld, guardian of the afterlife, orchestrated a series of events that would change the course of their lives. A mysterious investor, intrigued by William's visionary ideas, offered substantial funding. Soon, other investors, drawn by the promise of revolutionary technology, began to emerge.

Isis, the goddess of life, the divine architect of fate, played a crucial role in this endeavor. She subtly influenced potential investors, appearing in their dreams and inspiring them to support William's venture. She instilled in them a sense of optimism and a belief in the future.

"My god," screamed Jane, "we've got a backer."

"Darling wifey, I love you so. If you'd not supported me, we'd never have made it this far."

With a newfound sense of purpose and a growing pool of resources, William and Jane were ready to embark on their audacious journey. It was a bold move, a leap of faith into the unknown. The world was about to witness the birth of a technological revolution, a revolution that would forever change the course of human history.

The evening was another glorious release. Isis looked away, pleased as punch.
