§§§§§§§¨¨¨ 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. ¨
