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. ¨
