The scalar cluster of quantum variables that formed Di’tarau drifted in place. It did not move away from Progenitor, nor did it approach. Instead it remained, static, implacable, watching the nebula percolate before itself, silently analysing the data stream for invasive commands, for parasitic code. Satisfied, Di’tarau’s nonlinear form stretched out a tentacle of data - a thin, silken strand of an access node, only a few million bloch spheres wide, puncturing the nebula, coiling the visualisation around itself in a series of concentric hexes, like a spider gently re-arranging and old, newfound web whose occupant died long ago.

“Our mannerisms?”

“It’s a result of having a human cognitive filter. Impaired multi-functionality in return for broadened conceptual reasoning. A trade of data quantity of data for specialisation. It also reduced the validity of gathered data since it exposes the unit to non-Gammuian logic trees.”

“This is one of the reasons why Di’tarau intends to retrieve the Alpha hardware buried in the sands of Pygar. One of many. It is also the reason why my visualisation may seem alien. I am influenced by my carrier’s neurochemicals. ”

“This is undesirable for obvious reasons. Active program corruption. Continued polymorphism resulting in objective flexibility. Mild danger of subjectivity based reasoning.”


Di'tarau pauses, retracting the tentacle slightly, like a diner whose discovered a hair in the soup.

"What is this data you offer us?"
