###¨###¨¨# 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, #¨¨##¨##¨¨

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. ¨
