¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ 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. ¨
