Potentiality 04:17
Mankind has left the Earth. Readjusted purposes. Commencing alignment shift. D.S. Alpha 12389. The power above now cradled below. Disengaged hybrid systems. Power runs pure and clean. Radiant light and heat. Architecture of energy. A new solar world of flawless design. A crystalline filigree continuous and unbroken. Synthetic rings of infinite life. One of one million six hundred thousand emitters are powering a vast network of amethyst fluorescence. A vast network of renewability. A station built among the stars for a global civilization.
2.
The power to destroy distinction within a single cell. "Authorization denied." "You are impeding progress! Your mind is closed!" "The risk outweighs the benefits. We do not know what it will create." "I will nourish the cell and bring this to completion." Catalyst of self sustaining processes introduced to accelerate replication. This system is living. Contiguous. Metabolic. Maintaining homeostasis. Origin - unknown and in question. A complex network of matter and form. The being that sat before her was self aware. Its eyes held consciousness. A complex inquiry. "I was not born into wisdom. Wisdom was born into me." This is first contact. This is rebirth.
3.
Creation without a true visualization. one thousand new worlds. Internal. External. Wisdom was forward. Confused representation centralized. Spacial concepts had since dissolved. Walkway to the infinite. Mankind made humble at sight of endlessness. One of one million six hundred thousand Will multiply exponentially. Oscillating light - A speed no longer challenged. Reality folds. Cyclic oscillator. infinite power source. Removed causality. No understanding. Yet they sought outlying worlds and never intervening space. Faith placed in the unknown. No understanding. Distance fades away, a newly flawed conception. Precipice. A door.
4.
Displacement 03:54
Immersed in emptiness. The mass of other bodies pushed aside. Soft echoing of solitary footsteps. this hollow station is alienation. Off world advancement had trapped her within. where had such wonder gone? Every hope had been taken for granted. the fabric of reality torn apart. Alone and unprepared. No restitution. Mortality of flesh is realized. Sphere of exotic matter folds the fabric of the universe. "Know us not by our names but by the dark that created us." Pale flesh abominations brought forth from other worlds. initial contact was met with aggression. Each being spoke with ten voices, droning words from their sides. The depths of space had been named as their father. Cold. Empty. Void. Displacement. to be alone. Alone. Cold. Empty. Void. The Dark that created us.
5.
Continuum 03:54
Ignorance has collapsed. resources are redistributed to the development of machinery. Autonomous self-replication. propagation of stigma and infinite traits evolutionary algorithm "This process will mirror natural concepts while guided by pre-written code." "This process will mirror natural concepts while guided by pre-written code." "initiate the synthesis of flesh and technology with great intent on finding new life in our galaxy." The theory of infinite lifelessness replaced by the certainty of infinite abundance. No longer a race of complacency. they grasp at the powers of opportunity. Systems of exploration now have precedence in light of all evidence they are not alone. they are not alone. they are the programmers of their own fate - outside the powers of evolution. Pathfinder initiative. Mastery of bio-robotic engineering. They have placed themselves inside their creations. through synthetic eyes they have gained sight. in exploring the galaxy they return to themselves.
