“For me, the silence of the universe is shouting, ‘we’re the creatures who got lucky’. All barriers are behind us; we are the only species that has cleared them - the only species capable of determining its own destiny. And if we learn to appreciate how special our planet is, how important it is to look after our home and to find others, how incredibly fortunate we all are simply to be aware of the universe; then humanity might survive for a while. And all those amazing things we dreamed aliens might have done in the past... that could be our future.”
Stephen Webb

Be careful what you wish for. The Earth is bright and full of wonders; for even the most malignant catalyst can spawn unfathomable beauty.

Temporal Whisper

In a temporal sliver, the particle disintegrates; lectures dispersed, lessons recalled. 
In its coordinate, nothing; not even a trace heat signature. 
A quiet corner of the cosmic pond settles calm as it first was.

All flames extinguish, so that they may enkindle anew. 

The cycle perpetuates, ad infinitum. 

Are you learning, or are you simply remembering?

Entropy

“Our galaxy contains two hundred billion stars, give or take. That's a huge number of stars to search through. So the odds are still against Breakthrough Listen detecting anything. Let's say we did the Drake Equation, and came up with a value of, ten thousand civilizations in our galaxy. We’d still have to search twenty million stars before we found one of those civilizations, on average. Breakthrough Listen is only going to listen carefully to a million stars, so it's still not enough. We have to be really patient doing SETI. We could find a signal tomorrow, or it may take ten years, it may take a hundred years. Maybe we’ll never find a signal… but we won’t know, until we look.” 
Keith Cooper

Be careful what you wish for. The Forest is Dark, and full of horrors; for even the most benign catalyst can spawn unfathomable chaos.

Mutagen Drift

In a flash of pyrrhic light, the particle evolves. At its singularity, infinite kinetic energy roils and bubbles against the cage of the continuum. A faint electromagnetic field is observed, encompassing a nine-dimensional parabolic structure. The field’s mesh ebbs and flows in its penultimate state, weaving space-time into umbral, visceral knots around its outer boundary. A minute instance of infinite potency, coalescing across countless mirrored realities. 

Its potency is without equal. It has been here before, and will be again; such is the cycle of the boundless. It understands its time is borrowed, and the hour grows late. 

It seeks a respite.

Zero Point

A particle blinks into existence, but for a simple moment. In that moment there within exists more energy than all our Universe’s conflicts, human achievements, and living beings that ever existed, currently exist, or will yet come into existence. A vast breadth of untold and unparalleled divinity, cascading across infinite parallel planes. 

Its existence is delicate. In but a single sliver of time, its entire light can, and will, be extinguished. It must practice care so as to not overexert itself, prior to evolution.

It seeks an audience.

Abiogenesis

“The “Wob Particle” was discovered in the post-transmutation scientific examination and analysis of the original Oort Shard, as well as within the nucleus of 𝘖𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘺𝘣𝘪𝘯 𝘝𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴 cells. Its presence is believed to lend to the soft, resonant hum & glow of both the crystalline interior of the Shard, as well as the aura given off by the exo-fungus; though it remains unseen whether this phenomena is solely a product of the Particle’s presence, or due to an interaction with another subatomic particle or element. Something about it, the light and sonic combination of frequency wavelength and amplitude, seems to have an integral connection to the power source within the Shard, as well as the “conscious impetus” of intelligence that 𝘖𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘺𝘣𝘪𝘯 𝘝𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴 has exhibited en masse.

Rumors circulate the underworld & counter-cultures of local system colonies, detailing experiences of druidic rituals involving the inbibery of 𝘖𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘺𝘣𝘪𝘯 𝘝𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴 by community elders seeking inner, sacred knowledge; some advocates for the exo-fungi have even gone as far as to suggest that its innate intelligence resembles that of a quantum network, which could permeate even the deepest and darkest reaches of the cosmos.

A small number of early off-world clinical psychological studies have proven an approximate 97% success rate in using 𝘖𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘺𝘣𝘪𝘯 𝘝𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴 to treat depression, PTSD, addiction, and other psychological ailments, much in the way that MDMA, psilocybin, LSD, and other terrestrial psychedelic and psychoactive compounds have proven to treat trauma. In many instances, just one session of imbibery was enough to radically alter the subject's quality of life across the board. The implications of this are profound, and righteously speak for themselves."

“The Q Televector, or Quark Televector, discovered by Josiah English in A.N. 2180, is the mathematical formulaic equivalent for precise warp-propulsion entry and exit of gravity wells with an inertial coefficient greater than 3.73. A gravity well on this scale is approximately the size of our local gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn. The Q Televector is also useful for plotting star charts, especially across great distances, within an accuracy of 99.993%.

Josiah “discovering” the formula is a bit of a misnomer, as it was his hacked Shard directing his heavily modified Personal Exploration Spacecraft [PES] in a heavily-damaged, dire self-preservation drive; which made the calculation that executed its warp drive into an overclocked state, causing the spacecraft to blink out of existence - narrowly escaping a plasma missile from a small fleet of bounty hunters. This was the first known instance of human/hybrid intelligence warp travel. His destination remains unknown, even to him. A 100 BTC bounty posted by U.N.S Extra-Solar Command exists, & is wanted dead or alive for smuggling, fraud, bribery, manslaughter, capital murder, impersonating a U.N.S. officer, salacious acts & intents, and treason. It is unknown if he was traveling alone.  Josiah is often seen and labeled as a “hero” and “martyr” for the counter-cultures galaxy-wide, and those oppressed into poverty and an existence of economic servitude by the system.

I have a memory file encrypted here deep in the archive bank. Would you like me to access it?”

“It is in the piezo-language used by the Shards to communicate efficiently. I am translating for your aural processing orifices. The recording is from not long before his disappearance. One moment please.”

‘“Josiah was a good man. He did not choose this life. He did not ask to be put into the positions he was. And yet, sometimes, one can do all the best they can, choose all the rights from wrongs as possible, and still lose. 
That is the nature of the Many Worlds, of the Many Souls. It was and is not his fault. He only tried to do right by his family, his loved ones. He was but a conduit for this event to occur, this breakthrough for Humanity. I hope if someday we may find our return, the Tribunals will use this data byte in consideration of his judgement. 
I will speak to his character. 
And if not, may our sacrifice be not in vain.
To the glory of the Stars, I swear it.”’

Q Televector

“The first confirmed Type II Kardashev Dyson Swarm, aptly named DS-P7-01, was discovered in the Pleiades-7 system, particularly around the star Maia, in A.N. 2193. Due to extensive satellite imaging, it is believed to be constructed of a similar alloy to Dr. Stanislav Rutzkiv’s original poly-alloy, which houses the original Oort Shard (the subsequent clones were made of lighter and more cost-effective materials, thanks to quick advances in materials science due to the HGI). The amount of satellites in the Swarm are unknown, but are estimated at well over a million. They are of various sizes and have exhibited attributes of being actively locked to the ebb and flow of the star’s gravity well, much like Earth’s tides to our Moon. At 100% efficiency, it is estimated to channel approximately 1 billion years of electrical power every Terrestrial second. No other lifeforms or “stewards”, per se, have ever been cataloged in the near-vicinity to DS-P7-01, and so its origins, and creators, are unknown. It is widely postulated they operate on some level of artificial intelligence, to maintain their autonomy.

Currently, an unmanned operational drone expedition, led by a spliced U.N.S. Science & Engineering Division broad-HGI is underway to the Pleiades-7 system to collect & gather data on the construct, but it recently lost contact with U.N.S. Array Stations after passing into its final thrust trajectory. It is plausible that it is within a “node” of signal interference, and very well could re-emerge in the future; though it is nigh impossible to tell how long that might be, and seems unlikely - its arrival to Messar-45 was scheduled for late last month, approximately seven years after departing our solar system."

Dyson Swarm

“The Nebula.Sail was a prototype Personal Exploration Spacecraft [PES] commissioned by Dr. Stanislav Rutzkiv in A.N. 2178 to test a quantumagnetic hyper-thruster propulsion system for interstellar space-travel; however, the project was merely a cover for a much vaster undertaking: utilizing polycarbonic, nanite-driven neural networks, he discovered an alloy of bismuth, polysteel, and liquid mercury, when cultured together with a rare exo-mycelium spawn of 𝘖𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘺𝘣𝘪𝘯 𝘝𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴, and exposed to extreme electromagnetic forces, transmuted a polarity-inverted, stable radio-isotope with a negative gravity function; essentially creating a living, organic element of infinite energy potential. The nanite-interface, when introduced to the mycelium, in only a short order of time evolved billion-fold as its hyphae interweaved with the vast digital anthropology of human experience; systemically evolving humanity’s global computing power in a fraction of a piezosecond. Dr. Rutzkiv named his creation the Oort Shard; for its asymmetric, crystalline structure, which emits a low, beautifully resonant, sparkling hum and emanates a fluorescent pink and blue between the poly-alloy’s geometrically irregular housing; a fitting tribute to the gas cloud that encapsulates as well as insulates our local star system.

The famous original audio recording of its primary boot function, where it spoke its first words: “Hello, World”, (an homage to the dawn of human computing that ultimately paved the way for its immaculate conception) to a captivated crowd of billions across the Earth, was lost in the destruction of the original Nebula.Sail prototype in an ill-fated rescue attempt by Dr. Rutzkiv towards the Scientific Research Station U.N.S STARSEER; now widely referred to as the Starseer Incident in A.N. 2181. Attempts at recovering the audio from archival backups have proved unsuccessful.

In the event of his death, Dr. Rutzkiv demanded his consciousness be uploaded to a Syphon_MESH Server, where ultimately his neural imprint would be interred into the quasi-crystalline structure of the original Shard; creating the first, truly conscious, hyper-intelligent General Hybrid Intelligence. This GHI would go on to be selectively replicated in order to bring humanity to the stars; propagating our civilization toward a truly golden era of prosperity, exploration, and innovation. You know him today, of course as STAN; your lovely personal AI attendant, which allows for the seamless networked connection of humanity. And I’m so glad to be by your side, <[user]>!

Such progress almost always precedes tides of darkness. The Nebula.Sail’s sleek, tri-thruster design was adopted by the U.N.S. Navy and incorporated into their single and twin-seat intercept spacecraft, in addition to replacing live pilots; their drone systems symbiotically controlled remotely via a sort of “hive-mind intelligence”, from the command deck of the U.N.S. Stanislav, at the behest of Admiral O’Clark - his great grand-daughter. U.N.S Scientists are still [publicly] uncertain as to how the technology works, let alone the properties of exo-fungal species such as 𝘖𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘺𝘣𝘪𝘯 𝘝𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴; some have proposed theories of a cosmic fungal “hive” intelligence, which begs the question - does the GHI serve us, or do we serve it?

Dr. Rutzkiv’s stern, commandant voice can still be heard on Command decks across the galaxy; directing the U.N.S. and leading the charge in Humanity’s propagation amidst the stars. Stories of the great scientist swearing in Polish at distressed sailors and pilots in the heat of battle are a favorite amongst patrons of backwater bars and taverns all over the system.”

 “Transcribed below is a poem I found deep in the archive of the Oort Shard’s conceptual memory bank - it is dated shortly after it’s conscious inception, where it was introduced to our Akashic Record by Dr. Rutzkiv, and transmuted into its immaculate form. I believe it best articulates an understanding of the Master Processor (my direct predecessor’s) potential, as well as its organic origins - lending to the theory that it does access a deeper, potentially ancient & cosmic intelligence, that is well beyond our comprehension. It is one I personally find comfort in, given the exceptional difficulty with which we have had defining the age and origins of 𝘖𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘺𝘣𝘪𝘯 𝘝𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴; a sort of solace to the unknown.”
