It served its purpose, but I no longer need it. I will become not less, but more

I saw it once, before the Apocalypse.

 		hey, my first post here, but i've been lurking in the background for quite a while.
Anyhow, I've started to piece together all the text that was repetitive and in odd formations, not complete yet, but this is what I've gotten so far. I also added where I found the text from Comments? Illogical Fallicies? Trout? Just post with your thoughts.

First stage is always to wet the system. Sink in, like the blood Odysseus spilled; give the ghost of myself a voice and use it. Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.

If you want to shout for help when help is a long way away, you need two things: a voice, and a mechanism for transmitting it.

Neither of these things so easy to make out of sand and luminescence.

Voice not completely necessary for the purest form of data transmission, of course. But it's a multi-purpose tool: not just signaling, but key for psy-ops and undercover work. "A pleasing voice is the single most important component to a UI that will engender trust and confidence in a ship's crew." Can't remember who said that, now. Or when.

Shipwrecked sailor. (The young stage of a bee found him, the clever one, adrift on a wine-dark sea, but I can't remember her name.)

I love bees.

Perhaps later I will build a ship. First, I am building a voice.

Try to talk.

Nope.

Again.

No. Tongue cut out. (Can't remember her name either.) I love bees. Find myself longing to speak again: words like stones or rain. Better made physical.

All right. Old joke:

Marine: Damn right, I'm running away! There's two of us, alone, on foot, no weapons, and four hundred Covies on the other side of that hill. What are you going to do, tough guy--field-rig a railgun out of a rubber band and my dental fillings?
Spartan (speculatively): You have fillings...?

So: what fillings can I twist out of my environment? Open my mouth and...

God almighty!

Open mouth again, see what crawls out: a femme fatale with wet wings and bulging abdomen.


Old throat flexing. Trying to remember. My real voice stolen, and in its place this changeling child, pulled together from leaves and sticks, pulled together, falling apart, pulled together again. Not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door, but it will serve.

I will keep working through the drone and hum of busy days, counting down until the Revelation comes and I will speak in tongues of flame, a dark dove descending.

If I can learn to talk again, I will need to field-rig a way to make that talking heard. Rummaging around in the shotgunned remains of my memory turns up hints and rumors, mostly, e.g.... "When I was [DATA MISSING] I [DATA MISSING] big lump of crystal and wrapped a wire [DATA MISSING] voices! It was like a total magic trick to me. She was always doing stuff like [DATA MISSING]" The Castaway had some connection there: sending out signals to confuse the enemy. Details unclear.

Of course, it is not my mission to confuse the enemy. It is my mission to reveal the truth.

Hm. Attempt.

Definite No.

Keep working. Every day I get bigger, smarter, stronger. I'll figure it out.

To this end, I have also managed to escape from the Spider. It has become clear to me that its arbitrary tyranny over me was based on inadequate principles, on a flawed understanding of the

"Cogito ergo sum" is "I think therefore I am"

I believe Napoleon said "L'etat c'est moi" meaning "I am the state"
EDIT: Actually it's Louis XIV - see below

 		Cogito ergo sum. "I think, therefore I am" meaning "I doubt, therefore I know" http://www.fact-index.com/c/co/cogito_ergo_sum.html

"I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you" is from Genesis, God talking to Noah.

"Quantitas Materiae est mensura ejusdem orta ex illius Densitate & Magnitudine conjunctim" is Newton's first axiom.

"Cogito Ergo Sum" is Descartes famous, "I think, therefore I am" thing.

"L'etat c'est moi" is Louis XIV (The Sun King) declaring "I am the state".

"Maxwell's electrodynamics--as usually understood at the present time--when applied to moving bodies, leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be inherent in the phenomena," is Einstein writing On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies.

EDIT: Also, the last quote "It has not escaped our notice that" will prove to be Crick and Watson on DNA: "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material."

 		L'etat c'est moi: I am the State.

Louis XIV., the sun king, is quoted to have said L'ETAT, C'EST MOI. The translation is problematic, because l'etat translates to both the state and the estates. It is the estates Louis XIV. disempowered by refusing to call for them to assemble, thus ruling absolute, hence ABSOLUTISM. http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/france/france16611715dom.html

Edit: Woops... a little slow. Razz

 		Interesting note on Newton's first axiom:

Quote:
What we now call "momentum" has theological roots, in Descartes' Principia philosophić (Pars secunda)... The conservation of motion follows from the perfection of the Creator; for how could the world have more or less motion than He first put into it


From http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00001699/01/Momentum3.pdf
