¨¨###¨¨¨¨# 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. ¨
