An excerpt from Temporal Cross Currents

At the Plastic Alpha Tholoi the three descended to the Prajol line and were beset by an odd purple haze twilighting the horizon of Plastic Alpha at the shore of the Sea of Regulus. The haze was especially strange for Miami just released from inert confinement in the stone prison cube.

This must be the work of Moflunk, bent servant of Renflume Universe. When I refused to surrender my workers for conversion here and after bribery and torture failed to gain my compliance to the will of Renflume I was downloaded into the Ugarit Prison Cube.”

Moflunk appeared emerging as a transcendent pattern in the Sea of Regulus before them. A luminescent green scum floating upon the waters with a variegated sheen like a hydrocarbon slick supported ideas, images, patterns and shapes that swirled like an infinite depth of four-dimensional images upon a three-dimensional surface.

The mind of Moflunk had a tonal quality that was dwarfed, muted and yet with an explosive desire to control. It was subtly nuanced, persuasive, arrogant and demanding increased energy throughput. His voice broke as the sound of ten thousand harmonized trashcan lids dropping into place...

This world is now the property of Renflume Universe and is my personal responsibility. You will immediately surrender all sentient workers with materialbodies to Chief of Adaptation Inbar at the restuffing plants yonder within two days. All qualified will be uploaded to the Quantum Probability Ship within two days. Shirkers will be tortured and terminated without a semblance of pleasure!”

Evdolp Stella thought to Movin Saytrap and Stephen Miami; “Intelligent Destiny is a Dynatron sparsely populated in communities that permit continuity of naturally evolving ecosystems. Renflume Universe and Moflunk are separate from reality within Universe (1) so far as is possible without death, existing within it as shadows outside its natural physical parameters. Their works on Plastic Alpha must be the surface of a retrograde megalomania lusting for the Universe.”

Movin thought to Stella “How will we defend Evdolp?”

She replied, “We must wait to understand more. Nowhere the enemy is, is invulnerable to counterattack.”

When Moflunk upsurged his being into the Sea of Regulus he violated an
integral element of the Civilization. Moflunk annexed it with field enclosure to the Quantum Probability Ship’s compresent M-matrix. The Ship is the transcendent body of Renflume and Moflunk.”

Picking up an anti-matter explosive device from the construction site Movin said “You mean that the Sea of Regulus is now possessed by and one with the Quantum Probability Ship, Renflume Renflume and Moflunk?”

Probably, Movin.”

Stephen Miami thought to Movin “Be careful with that little package, it might go off. Those anti-matter demolitions should be handled only by experts.”

Sure, I know Stephen, yek a shock wave front to compact material in pure string balls that were then pitched to a space-time dimensional accelerator and swatted over a time-dimensional wall with force field impact could be worse. Someone like Renflume just might try it you know. The megalomaniac's will to reconfigure the Universe isn’t too much different than reconfiguring minds with particle beam thought shapers. I don’t prefer to be stuffed and uploaded to the Quantum Probability Ship two days hence.
