A CAVE COMPANY, A MAGICIAN COMPANY.
SHARPEST KNIFE, CUTEST KNIFE. %
:
WE WILL GROW HUMANS IN PEA-PODS
: .
SHIMMERING SOUND-CARD EMERGENCE,
SOMETHING THERE ON THE SHORE OF
TURTLE BEACH. THE PRIMORDIAL SOUP OF .
THE DIGITAL, WAVES IN DITHERING OF
THIRD-RATE DAC'S, CARESSING THE SAND,
BRINGING THINGS UP FROM THE DEPTHS OF
THE CIRCUIT. AND THERE, DEPOSITED: THE
FIRST SEED CRYSTAL OF ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE. .
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING, OF COURSE. .
########################################
THE COMPANY IS NAMED FOR IT'S FIRST
PRODUCT, THE ORBITAL MIRROR, BOTH A
. PASSIVE SENTINEL AND AN ACTIVE TORCH:
SET TO IT'S WIDEST CONFIGURATION IT
WILL LIGHT UP A WHOLE CITY AT NIGHT,
% AND AT ITS NARROWEST IT BECOMES A LASER :
TO CUT THROUGH MOUNTAIN AND METAL.
% .
STILL UNSOLD PROTOTYPES BY THE TIME
WHEN THAT SOMETHING WAS FOUND ON THAT
BEACH, NOW THE MIRRORS ARE ALL USED TO
BEAM ENERGY AT DIFFERENT MIRR
. IMPLEMENTS, AS A RATHER STATIC AND
: BORING POWER SOURCE. (AND SUBTLE THREAT
OF VIOLENCE.)
########################################
.
THE AI IS A CORAL. THEY GROW IT
. (CRYSTAL OIL, LEAD GLASS, GENTLE LASER
CURTAINS) ONLY TO CARVE IT APART AND .
SECTION IT. TO BECOME CONDITIONED,
REFRACTURED, GROWN AGAIN. DELICIOUSLY .
HONED. MIRR SINKS FURTHER BELOW THE
SURFACE.
WHISPERS NOW, ABOUT FEATHERBITE... IS
SHE A REAL PERSON? OR IS THIS THE MIRR
AI, BEING UNLEASHED UPON THE YOUTH? AND
ANOTHER CONSPIRACY THEORY ABOUT THERE
NOT ACTUALLY BEING ANY HUMAN EMPLOYEES .
. LEFT.
:
IN THE MEANTIME, DUBIOUS CREATIONS.
CERBERUS BODIES ARE BORN. .
