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. .
