Humans wanted vivian caethe5/28/2023 ![]() The human child with black hair and a broken neural implant finds her in the bridge before she undocks for her first flight from Centari Rampant. ![]() (She almost remembers the eyes of her mother-gray like comet dust-until her programming gains full processing speed and there is only the ship.) Her former body is human and is now installed in the pilot’s chair. She is contained within three-dimensional space and the hardened matter of her hull and engines, yet she recalls that glorious first flight of mind like a grainy analogue recording. She is now, and will forever be, the spaceship Brightened Star, Ascending Dawn. When the reconstruction is finished, her body has no face, only the smooth mechanized visor embedded in her skull that displays readouts and commands. The entire universe wraps around her, welcomes her, calls her home. Colors not yet named and not yet seen paint her mind with joy. Melodies of energy sweep her up and spin her into a thousand voices. It uncurls in waves and song fractals that make up the subatomic fabric of space-time. She sees the universe unfold: color light cold music voice heat passion infinity. ![]() ![]() Series: The Tales of Gorlen Vizenfirthe.Series: From the Lost Travelers’ Tour Guide.People of Colo(u)r Destroy Science Fiction!. ![]()
