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. .
