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. ¨
