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

beam energy at different mirr

surface. .

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. .
