.
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. .
