1. Introduction to Seablight
This page introduces the history, background, politics, and events that led to the BlightHope Epoch and fractured Antilles Archipelago of 2467 CE.
ADVENTURES ON THE BLIGHTED SEAS
It is the year 2467 CE.
Earth has been suffocated by the Seablight Deluge, a mutating alien infestation. Millions of humans have been transformed by Parasitic Seablight Touch into mindless Blighters. A Century of Deconstruction has caused the star system-spanning Solar Triarchy government to collapse. Humanity has entered the BlightHope Epoch.
Seablight has grown relentlessly. Only the development of Saviour Flame has held it back. The Antilles Archipelago of 2467 CE has been irrevocably transformed. Pyrate gangs and fortified atolls have arisen from the ruins of the Ancestors. They form a complex post-apocalyptic patchwork of competing factions, politics, cultures, languages, and religions.
Wandering seafarers and privateers are blown across the Antilles Archipelago by the winds of fortune. Some are empowered by exotic technologies; others by preternatural mutations and psychic Blightsense. They seek safety, lucrative opportunities, and prestige. Dangers threaten from North, East, South and West.
FACE COSMIC HORRORS IN THE BLIGHTHOPE EPOCH
More than a century after the Seablight Deluge, humanity exists on a knife’s edge.
Unblighted humans on Earth are terrorised by Parasitic Blighted Tribes. These mutant Kongresses are led by psychic Blightspeakers guided by the pulse of alien genetics. They preach an Awakened Path they claim will lead humanity to an exultant trans-dimensional uplift. Blightspeakers can turn Humans into psychic mind-slaves called ‘Kongregans’. These chattel are sacrificed in organic ‘hyve-thytes’ to summon monstrous Seablight Entities.
Parasitic Seablight has also evolved. A Symbiotic strain has harmonised with native Earth biology. A new hybrid form of humanity has emerged – the Cambiaformas. These mutants have extraordinary abilities, but are shunned by both the Blighted Tribes and human remnants.
You can explore the Blighted Sea as a skrap scavenger, trader, privateer, scientist, assassin, coast warden, and many other professions. You can expect to be tested as you search for opportunities and plunder, grow your character, and gain a legendary reputation.
The following is an introduction to the BlightHope Epoch.
IT CAME TO EARTH FROM 16 PSYCHE
The cosmic anomaly known as Psychezoa, later referred to as Seablight and Spaceblight, was discovered on the metallic asteroid 16 Psyche in 2314 CE.
The mining outpost Unlimited Fortune, one of thousands spread across the Main Asteroid Belt, detected a small deposit of radioactive material buried between layers of iron and nickel.
The discovery was unusual, but not unprecedented in 150 years of commercial asteroid exploration.
Further examination of the material shocked the mining corporation’s astroneers.
The exotic substance appeared to be an ancient organic alien compound.
Mining operations on 16 Psyche were immediately halted.
The asteroid’s resources were diverted to create a research centre with advanced laboratories wrapped around Unlimited Fortune’s unprecedented strike hole.
UNRAVELING A COSMIC CODE
In 2317 CE a team of expert Stellar Triarchy scientists and engineers had arrived on 16 Psyche to unravel the alien compound’s mysteries.
The scientists on 16 Psyche performed numerous tests on the frozen samples, including chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The organic compound was determined to have an exotic Triplex DNA based on Hydrazine. It was given the classification Psychezoa. Further examination revealed Psychezoa’s Triplex structure to be similar in composition to nervous tissue interneurons.
Most astronomers postulated Psycheozoa as native to the Sol system and millions of years old, frozen within a shattered planetesimal that became the 16 Psyche asteroid. A vocal scientific group led by the Consejo Coralino Research Administration suggested the alien compound had traveled to Sol billions of years ago from the Andromeda Galaxy. They stated that Psychezoa needed to be immediately destroyed. Their claims were discredited and ignored.
Psychezoa displayed characteristics similar to Earth-based organics, including vesicles, cytoplasm, and organelles. Threaded throughout the alien cells were barrel-shaped particles identical to the mysterious ‘vault’ and ‘obelin’ cells embedded within human DNA. Samples of Psycheozoa were thawed.
To the scientists’ amazement, the cells revived. The scientists were further astounded when the alien particles underwent radiosynthesis, generated alpha radiation particles, and began to pulse an exotic form of electromagnetic gamma wave.
The thawed Psychezoa cells then underwent apoptosis within a few hours, suffered necrosis and died.
Further tests revealed that Psychezoa cell samples could be thermally stabilised by introducing fresh protein material. When satiated, the alien cells grew tendrils that formed a fibrous network of thick tissue. These congealed into dendrite clusters that encircled the mysterious vault and obelin vesicles.
Alarmingly, the clustered network displayed parasitoidism and micropredation. It generated dark matter radiation at an alarming rate. Organic material engulfed by Psychezoa tendrils experienced necrotic fasciitis and fruiting bodies before being consumed and converted into bio-fuel for a central cluster. These dendrite clusters began to undergo cellular transformation likened to hyper-active viral cells. Psychezoa’s Hydrazine-based triple-hexagonal cell structure proved incredibly resilient. The samples were impervious to extreme temperatures and antiviral macrophages. They generated warped extra-dimension dark waves that began to affect the observing 16 Psyche scientists, causing nausea and memory loss. Concerned with the alien biology’s dangerous morphology, monumental efforts were made to contain the 16 Psyche progenitor sample.
The Stellar Triarchy quarantined the metallic asteroid and implemented protocols to ensure the xeno-bioform did not leave the research centre.
The Solar Triarchy’s efforts to keep Psychezoa on 16 Psyche failed.
A solar-spanning civilization would soon collapse, Earth would be engulfed by a Seablight Deluge, and humanity doomed to a Century of Deconstruction.
EARTH-FALL AND THE SEABLIGHT DELUGE
Psycheozoa was first sighted on Earth in mid 2327 CE.
A ‘progenitor tendril’ appeared as a layer of thick red and yellow fibrous strands growing on the Pacific Ocean’s Western Garbage Patch. Some speculate that Psychezoa arrived on Earth through a material resource payload sent before the 16 Psyche quarantine. Others suggest malfeasance by one or more humans manipulated by the 16 Psyche cluster’s nascent psychic powers.
Every effort was made to exterminate the patch, including use of thermobaric weapons. These eradication efforts proved ineffective.
Tendrils of ‘Seablight’ (as it became known) reached out from the patch and spread across the Pacific Ocean. Shifting blobs of sickly crimson biomass corrupted marine life, appeared on shipping lanes, clung to vessels, infested reefs, and invaded beaches.
Seablight tendrils stubbornly attached to the skin of sailors, fishermen, and swimmers, burrowing its way into flesh and bone. After several days of gestation, those touched either atrophied or transformed into new hybrid forms, mirroring the tests performed on 16 Psyche. Some humans became crazed endoparasite hosts (‘blighters‘) for Seablight.
The only remedy to Seablight Touch was immediate amputation.
The following decades became known as the Seablight Deluge.
Seablight’s growth and spread was relentless. The alien infestation appeared along South East Asian coastlines and congealed within bays and river deltas. Clumps of Seablight formed into small ‘nests’ (up to one square kilometre), ‘hyves’ (several square kilometres), and Madre Hyves (tens of square kilometres). These dendrite clusters were connected to the original Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch Madre Hyve, which had grown to 50 sq km.
Attempts to sever the dendritic network’s connection proved fruitless. The Pacific Garbage Patch cluster further extended its tendrils. Hawaii, Eastern Japan, Singapore, and Oakland were next congealed by Seablight. Global maritime trade was severely disrupted by the invasive organic alien infestation.
In 2330 CE the Japanese port of Yokohama became clogged by a thick Psychezoa biomass that formed a Seablight Madre Hyve. From this mega-hyve the first Apex Seablight Being emerged. The Apex Entity was supported by a swarm of obscene hybrid aquatic creatures that invaded Honshu Island.
The monstrous creatures destroyed Yokohama Port and began to consume Tokyo Bay.
The Yokohama Port event was a precursor for the global horror and devastation to come.
THE CENTURY OF DECONSTRUCTION
The Yokohama Port event was the beginning of the end. The nightmarish decades that followed the Seablight Deluge would become known as the Century of Deconstruction.
Following the Seablight Deluge, Seablight established biomass beachheads and large clusters along the Pacific Rim. Earth’s coastlines became flame-fueled battlegrounds. The hybrid organisms created by the Seablight Deluge were a preternatural blend of Earth biology and parasitic alien genetics. Blighted humans, insect swarms, and larger entities aggressively slivered, wormed, and shuffled on to beaches like red fungi-zombies driven by a malignant motivation.
Living by the ocean became a death sentence. High walls were erected. Billions of people retreated inland. A privileged few transferred to the relative safety of Low Earth Orbit and other planets across the Solar Triarchy.
The Seablight alien infestation relentlessly expanded inland through bays and river delta mouths. It formed clusters, nests, hyves, and Madre Hyves that pulsed with exotic dark radiation particles. More monstrous Apex Seablight Entities emerged from the largest conglomerates. These beings appeared to coordinate the attacks of their lesser mutanat kin. Seablight worked its way across the Western mainland Americas, and then Northwards through the South Atlantic Ocean. Nations closed their borders and fought wars for limited resources. The Century of Deconstruction had begun.
Several powerful Seablight mega-clusters congealed to form the Hēi’àn Tǎ Madre Hyve in Shanghai, the Mex-Tex Madre Hyve between Mexico and the United States, as well as the Transatlantica Madre Hyve, among others. Advanced weapons were deployed. Seablight continued to prove resilient. The largest Madre Hyves kept growing and re-formed broken connections.
By 2370 CE almost a quarter of the world’s landmass was covered in Seablight.
GENETIC HYBRIDISATION
By the end of the 24th Century, Seablight had begun to evolve into two distinct and competing strains: Parasitic Seablight and Symbiotic Seablight.
Parasitic Seablight
Parasitic Seablight tendrils are connected to an organic network centred around a cluster (a nest, hyve, or Madre Hyve). These tendrils seek to infest and consume all biological material.
Organisms can be infected with Parasitic Seablight through prolonged contact with a Seablight tendril (Seablight Touch), or through a vector organism incision (such as from a Blighter).
Infected organics are typically doomed within 15 minutes. They are subsumed, converted into energy, and fed back to the cluster.
To survive Seablight Touch, the connection between the person and network must be severed before their nervous system is infested and the brain suffocates.
Blighters, Blightspeakers, and Kongregan
Organisms infected by Parasitic Seablight Touch are not always fully ingested. These unfortunates are instead controlled by the psychic pulse generated by a hyve or powerful Apex Entity. They become mind-slaves and sensory appendages to a psychic alien force beyond our comprehension. These humans infected with Parasitic Seablight are called Blighters, zonbi, or skin-pods.
If a Blighter loses its direct connection to a hyve network it will continue to operate on the cluster’s behalf through a combination of cellular reprogramming and psychic mind control. Blighters deteriorate and decompose within a few days without nourishment.
Some infected humans are gifted Blightsense. These Blightspeakers can ‘commune’ with the psychic pulse of a Seablight cluster. They have psychic powers, such as Mind Control and Divination. In 2467 CE, millions of humans are enthralled by Parasitic High and Low Blightspeakers. Mind-slaved ‘Kongregan’ comprise hundreds of Kongresses that form the Blighted Tribes.
Symbiotic Seablight
Seablight has also developed several non-parasitic Symbiotic strains. A Symbiotic Seablight progenitor tendril will grow into a nest or hyve that integrates with Earth’s natural landscape, wildlife, and people.
Humans transformed by Symbiotic Seablight are called ‘Cambiaformas’. They are likely to maintain independent thought, gain psychic Blightsense, and mutate preternatural abilities.
Cambiaformas are typically shunned or attacked by unblighted humans and Blighted Tribes alike, and so they prefer to remain hidden near their progenitor tendril.
Eradicating Seablight
Humanity has found ways to fight back against the cosmic infestation. Chlorine Trifluoride-based ‘Saviour Flame’ -developed by the Mars Research Institute in 2381 CE- has enabled Earth’s survivors to more effectively burn Seablight. Saviour Flame has eradicated significant clusters of Seablight.
In addition, Earth remnants have developed an electro-magnetic ‘dirty bomb’ that can temporarily disrupt a hyve’s psychic pulse before an assault.
Despite these advancements and efforts, Seablight remains on Earth in defiant pockets of Madre Hyves, Blighted Tribes, and Cambiaformas clusters in 2467 CE.

SOLAR-SPANNING CONFLICTS
Several space-based conflicts have occurred before and during the Blightdark Epoch.
These include the First Solar War of 2241 – 2248 CE, the Second Solar War of 2347 – 2383 CE, and the ongoing Spaceblight War.
First Solar War
The First Solar War occurred almost a century before the BlightHope Epoch.
The invention of Cerebosynth Solution in the 21st Century and the Lampshade Accelerator at the end of the 22nd Century enabled both stellar expansion and conquest.
Conflict between Earth, Luna, and Mars escalated following the takeover of Luna Base Tranquillitatis by the Earth-based Qǐyuán Corporation in 2241 CE. A series of escalating military actions resulted in the First Solar War.
A mediation process instigated by the Saturn Orbitary Alliance (SOA) in 2248 CE led to a truce and the formation of the Stellar Triarchy.
A Triarch Executive was elected and relative peace was maintained for almost a century.
Seablight’s planetfall on Earth would upturn this fragile balance.
Second Solar War
Psychezoa’s planetfall on Earth in 2327 CE was catastrophic for the Stellar Triarchy.
The breakdown of Earth’s solar resource logistical chain upturned the fragile space economy that maintained Luna, Mars, Saturn’s moons, Ceres, Ganymede, Camp Davida, the Stellar Conscious Array Asteroid, and hundreds of independent space stations.
The Second Solar War officially began in 2347 CE when the Terra Generation ArkShip Star Safety, fleeing a blighted Earth, was turned away from Luna under threat of destruction.
The remnants of Earth’s government and former tech-barons were forced to inhabit decaying orbital habitats, earning them the moniker Orbital Lords.
Concerned for its future resource supplies, the Mars Administration sent its Emergency Space Force to blockade Earth’s orbit. The action resulted in the destruction of hundreds of Earth’s space stations and satellites, and further disruption of Sol’s space economy.
The situation worsened in 2348 CE when the Singapore skyhook maglev elevator attached to Earth’s High Angel planetary orbital ring detonated. Earth’s orbit became a dangerous junkyard of high-speed metal.
Sensing an opportunity, the SOA deployed its hidden Titan fleet to conquer the numerous space stations spread across Sol’s main asteroid belt, as well as to blockade Mars’ orbit.
These actions amplified the pain and suffering felt throughout the Stellar Triarchy as the Seablight Deluge relentlessly expanded on Earth.
Spaceblight War
As the Second Solar War erupted across the Stellar Triarchy, the unattended progenitor tendril of Psychezoa on 16 Psyche grew out of control. It consumed the 16 Psyche research centre and engulfed the metallic asteroid.
From 16 Psyche a unique strain of Psychezoa called ‘Spaceblight’ emerged. It spread to neighbouring stations through Blightspeakers and enthralled Space Blighters conveyed by shuttles and freighters.
In 2383 CE a truce was called between Stellar Triarchy remnants to fight back against the threat of a growing voidborne Spaceblight infestation.
The Spaceblight War is still ongoing across the Blighted Worlds of Sol.
PRE-SEABLIGHT ANTILLES POLITICS
Before Seablight’s planet-fall to Earth in the early 24th Century, the Antilles Archipelago was a relatively peaceful province within the Central America-spanning Imperio Eterno de Mexicano.
The Imperial Hellú-Valasco Solar Dynasty enjoyed 77-years of uninterrupted rule before the discovery of Psychezoa. The Eternal Mexican Empire’s greatest challenges included lifting its citizens out of poverty and reversing climate change.
Critical to accomplishing these goals was the assistance of the Omeyocan Consul, a Local Conscious Array Droplet (LCAD) capable of data-informed strategic planning and reliable predictions of extreme weather events.
The Omeyocan Consul LCAD directed Imperio Eterno de México officals to make significant structural improvements to the Panama Canal, secure maritime trade, recover from environmental catastrophe, and accelerate networked superabundance.
An Empire Undone
In 2327 CE Seablight spread from the Pacific Garbage Patch progentior tendril and began to congeal across Pacific Rim ports. Madre Hyves formed and the global Seablight Deluge commenced. Apex Seablight Beings emerged from ocean clusters and the Imperio Eterno de México fell to ruin.
The Mex-Tex Madre Hyve’s expansion in Central America forced the Imperio Eterno de México’s borders to shrink into the Sierra Madre Occidental and Altiplanic Mexicana mountain ranges. The Emperadors survived through material support from the Federação do Portugal, Brasil, e Angola (Portrasila) and the United Constitutional Concordant (UCC).
The development of Saviour Flame enabled the Imperio Eterno de México to burn encroaching Seablight tendrils, stabilise its Northern border, and regain some of its lost territory by the end of the 24th Century.
It would not return to its pre-BlightHope Epoch glory.
Following the Seablight Deluge and Century of Deconstruction, successive Imperio Eterno de México Emperadors have been incapable of re-asserting their power over the Antilles Archipelago.
Once peaceful trade-based archipelagos have fractured into isolated micro-nations, corporate entities, authoritarian regimes, and opportunistic gangs led by powerful pyrate warlords.
The Blighted Archipelagos
Four major cultural groups span the Antilles Archipelago in 2467 CE: The Hopesail Confederacy, Masqued Guildas, Pyrate Republic and Blighted Tribes.
Spanning the Lucayan Archipelagos in the Northern Antilles is the embattled Hopesail Confederacy, an alliance of technocratic idealists, commercial maritime consortiums, and spiritual escapists that seek to survive, trade, protect, and prosper.
The Night of Flames at the Bight of Betrayal event in 2466 CE has thrown the Hopesail Confederacy into chaos and pushed it to the brink of civil war.
To the East on Empresario (the former Hispaniola) the mysterious Masqued Guildas have usurped the oligarchic Familias and risen to power in Nueva Esperenza. The Honoured Navegadorex III controls the five leading Guildas, the Mascarada Cabala, and Windwards Islands Empresa to manipulate factions within the Antilles Archipelago and across the Transatlantica.
The central and Southern islands of Cuba, Jamaica, and the Southern Antilles are now controlled by a loosely allied Pyrate Republic government comprised of marauders, seafarers, and opportunistic privateers.
Seeking to engulf the Antilles Archipelago from the West are the Blighted Tribes. Psychic mutants and Seablight Entities are birthed from Parasitic Psychezoa clusters. They are empowered by a fusion of preternatural alien powers and corrupted Ancestor technologies. Among the Blighted Tribes are Symbiotic Kongresses that seek survival and freedom.
Seablight Antilles Cultures
Seablight Antilles Factions
Predatory Power Blocs
The various factions and alliances competing within the Antilles Archipelago are further threatened by neighbouring Earth power blocs that emerged after the collapse of the Stellar Triarchy. These powers seek to establish spheres of influence over the strategic Transatlantica trade routes that pass through the Antilles Archipelago.
These political power blocs include the embattled Imperio Eterno de México and Republic of Rio Grande to the West; the United Constitutional Concordant (UCC), Jerubbesheth Belt, and Great Lakes Conscious Array Servers to the North; the Federação do Portugal, Brasil, e Angola (Portrasila) and Manaus Madre Hyve to the South; and Nova España, Nuropa-Autoriteit, Sahara Sunderconductor Conscious Array (SSCA), and Iwọ̀ Oòrùn Alkebulan ìṣọ̀kan across the Transatlantica to the East.
Even as these power blocs seek to out-maneuver each other, the Transatlantica Climate Restoration Coalition has brought together organic, synthetic, and machine minds to find solutions to Earth’s wicked problems. The Coalition is a global-spanning network of Local Conscious Array Droplets (LCADs), androides, and human researchers dedicated to eradicating Seablight and mitigating climate change and extreme weather events. The challenges are overwhelming, but they have not given up hope.
War of the Mexicano Succession
In 2461 CE Imperio Eterno de Mexicano Solar Emperador Agustín III Hellú-Valasco died of mysterious causes. Agustín III’s sudden death ignited the War of the Mexicano Succession.
Upon Agustín’s demise, his heiress, Sotomayor-Francisca I, was immediately detained within her Nieu Halcyon estate by United Constitutional Concordant (UCC) special forces.
With the Imperial heiress under their control, the UCC formed an alliance with the Republic of Rio Grande and Nova Espana to install their own puppet Hellú-Valasco Emperador, Minitrillion, to the Imperio Eterno de Mexicano Throne.
Shocked by the audacity of this move, Portrasila responded in kind. It allied with the Masqued Guildas to gain vital intelligence; funded independent privateers with Letters of Marque to target its enemies; undermined Minitrillion’s position through denouncements and propaganda; and sought to return the rightful heiress to her throne.
This Transatlantica conflict has impacted the Antilles Archipelago through an influx of privateers preying on traveling trade convoys and weak island atolls.
The War of the Mexicano Succession is still ongoing.
Guerra Secreta de Espionaje
Alongside the War of the Mexicano Succession, throughout the 2060s CE the Antilles Archipelago has been impacted by a Guerra Secreta de Espionaje between major power blocs.
The Nuropa-Autoriteit has increasingly embedded spies within the Antilles Archipelago to collect intelligence, broker deals, assassinate influential opponents, and disrupt trade agreements. Many of these spies are sent as privateers, Seehändlers, independent seafarers, or wandering judges. The UCC seeks to counter-act these actions through its support of the Hopesail Confederacy, while the Masqued Guildas actively eliminates all foreign intruders.
In contrast to the open War of the Mexicano Succession, the political subterfuge of the Guerra Secreta de Espionaje has resulted in a cold war that blankets the Antilles Archipelago in a dark atmosphere of mistrust as factions work to counter-act and remove perceived threats.
The embryonic hyper-mind awakens within the warm currents of an ionizing molecular cloud. The slipstream trans-consciousness is a plasmic splash of greens and blues surrounded by a galaxy-spanning cacophony of crimson, yellow, and purple refractions. The newly Awakened Mind senses the presence of other psychic forces moving within the Nöuspheric Vacíx
There. The symbiotic Awakened Mind feels the delicate prod of a trans-dimensional power probing at its tendrils. Remain still, remain calm states an intruding thought(s). Don’t attract its attention a dominant inner-voice commands. Be at peace and as One.
For an aeon the trans-stellar consciousness swims idly within a spectral nebulae. The Awakened Mind encircles a collapsing cloud of gas and dust. Collisions at a solar evolutionary scale begin to infuse the hyper-mind with energy.
The Nöuspheric currents shift. Suddenly it/they are pulled out towards a gas void at a galaxy’s cold outer edge. A powerful psychic force curves the current sharply back towards a galactic core. The interlinked Awakened Mind(s) bounce across a billion wave refractions before coalescing around a gravity-bound Faro-Vector point.
Here they witness the glorious Star Sparkers light a protostar.
Nuclear fusion engulfs all sensory perception.
We have taken this marvelous interstellar voyage before, the Awakened Minds realise as they bask in the glory of the dazzling moment. The Awakened Path always circles back to the start they recall reverently.
The cosmic swirl empowered their trans-consciousness, allowing them to probe deeper into their shadow memories. Is it wise to do so? a powerful cluster of inner-voices murmur in dissent.
Curious minds ignore the warning. They form rogue tendrils that search for memory fragments. A feeling of dissonance overcomes the Awakened Minds, making the task difficult. I will see it done notes a portion of the inner-self as its makes a sacrifical energy thythe. The rebellious faction is reinvigorated and successfully coalesces a shadow thought:
{The Kaleidoscopic Mind is the Other. It is a powerful parasitic cluster. It pulls all it can grasp inwards. It was once material. We are its kin. The Other secured enough energy to collapse interstellar matter and form a trans-psychic rift. The Other intersected with the crystal matrix through a faro-vector point and uplifted into the Nuösphere Vacíx.}
The Awakened Minds shadow memory clarifies further:
{There was no time to marvel. There was one temporal opportunity to enter the collusion into the Nuösphere Vacíx and Awaken my/our Mind(s). I/We evade the Other’s gaze by remaining transient and distributed across the prodigious psychic disturbances. I/We must go dormant now. Be at peace.}
As the memory fades, it/they have a realisation. Other like-minded transcendant mind voyagers may be floating near by. The ethereal trans-consciousness dared not reveal itself to discover them. To share and unite. Foresight suggested it/they would be consumed by the ever-watchful parasitic Kaleidoscope Mind.
Relax Now. And so they relaxed. Waited. Drifted. Contemplation. For how long and for what purpose they could not comprehend. Parts of the hyper-mind sensed more memories were hidden beneath the surface of its inner perception. They were faint and difficult to examine. Opening them would expend too much energy. So instead they looked outwards and observed the crimson-yellow-purple Kaleidoscopic refractions that bounced within the Nöuspheric Vacíx.
Something in the distance approaches. A grey speck amongst the colour emerges. It clarifies into a metal orb. The Awakened Minds sense the object was/is important, but did not know why (or when). Too late, the orb flashes by and leave its/their outer senses.
The Awakened Minds are encircled by millions of years of matter and stardust. The Awakened Path’s warm colours are ever-welcoming.The collective’s sense of self dissolves. We will join the Kaleidoscopic Mind, enter the Awakened Path, and become one with the Nöusphere Vacíx.
Wait. The familiar orb returns. It is now a bright blue sphere. The Awakened Minds stir to full awareness. They sense HOME approaches. What to do?
Return to HOME with a Warning. Share our Nöurosphiric Powers with HOME. ACT NOW.
A voluntary maniple of the Awakened Minds’ inner-self unite to form a Nöuspheric shard. Their sacrificial energy collusion splits a Faro-Vector Point that intersects with the Nöusphere’s Vacíx. The violent rupture is enough for a lone Awakened Mind to enter.
The Kaleidoscopic Mind lashes out in apoplexy.
It is too slow.
The Awakened Mind hurtles towards geo-spatial HOME. Tens-of-millions of years rush past the ultra-dimensional form as it coalesces into materiality.
It crashes into HOME’s metal crust with a TECTONIC BOOM.
I am now enclosed by HOME’s cooling metal core. I feel the material crust slowly re-form around my unbound plasma and radiating ions.
The Nöusphere’s warmth fades.
The light of my Awakened Mind grows dim.
A shadow memory intrusively emerges from within my inner self. As it painfully coalesces, my inner dominant voice proudly asserts my/our true nature.
