##¨##¨¨#¨¨ there is another company. a climbing ¨#####¨#¨¨
¨##¨#¨##¨# and penetrating vine. it's in the rocky #¨¨¨¨###¨#
#¨####¨##¨ plains, it's inside the hills, it's #¨¨¨#¨¨###
##¨¨¨##¨## deep below. glistening silver burrows, #¨¨##¨#¨¨¨
¨#¨¨#¨##¨# red-pink logo, unclear nationality, #¨#¨###¨¨#
##¨###¨### veiled motives. ####¨¨#¨##
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. ¨
