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. .
