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. ,
