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. .
