#¨¨##¨###¨ 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. ¨
