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.
