Ex Humanitas

[Dave Synk]

The door began to disassemble in the same manner like the initial one through which they passed. As they walked in, they observed the massive circular room that spanned upwards for at least 1.5 kilometer. The radius of the room was of several hundred meters. The surface was smooth, made by a multitude of patted squares. They looked like a mosaic but it was ordered. Through the floor, they saw energy mainstreams coming from all directions, but channeling themselves towards the center. They all pulsated with a vibrant azure color. Each step they pressed upon the ground, they noticed a faint magnetized hum. It was pleasant.

The middle of the room had a sphere that was suspended in a strong EM field. Towards it, hundreds of tubes were connected pulsating and slowly twisting their texture from time to time. Energy fluxes flew freely in the upper layer of the room, towards the ceiling, they resembled the patterns that they found in the Nomad Reactor, months ago. Synthetic life forms existed in several sectors of the room, well arranged. On the left side they saw a pattern of crystal-like flowers that pulsated with the same azure color. On the right side of their entrance, they noticed several synthetic trees, again with the same patterns. They changed their forms periodically. In the distance they noticed some animals of sorts. All of them synthetic. Basically what they thought at first it was that, what they actually saw was a massive artificial experimental ecosystem. It was indeed a wonder.

The Sphere in the middle had around it a series of suspended pylons that gave periodic electrical discharges into it. Synk's voice came into their Neural Gestalt yet again.

"The answer is no. You thought about the possibility of me.. creating it entirely ? I am not the author of this... by myself. I orchestrated this with my mind.. and the Light.. created it. I brought all my technological advancements from Terminus.... all my knowledge... everything as I was guided by my Gifts. And revived this forgotten treasure. Mixed with all I knew.. all I built.. it evolved into what you see. I established the perfect communion between a Human... machine.. and the Light.."

A blinding white light came in front of them, as suddenly they had the illusion that they were in space, observing a solar system. The detailing was incredible.

"What you see here... is somewhere... sometime. I can tell you the place exists. By the position of the Stars... is somewhere beyond our Sector. But that doesn't matter. You can imagine anything you want.. and you will see it. You can... experiment. This world ... has life. You can decide it's fate, you can decide it's purpose. You can decide it's evolution. The question is... to what level of knowledge.. you need to expand your existence... in order to grasp the powers... of the Cosmic Axiomity. Observe.."

The entire scenery zoomed through the atmosphere of the unknown planet. Hussaini and Nomak, felt like they were actually there. They had the sense that indeed, they had the laws of the Cosmos into their hands to shape this world they were on. They couldn't realize and understand what this might be actually.

"You wonder... is this real? Perhaps it is. Perhaps it is not. But I can assure you... this... is only a grasp of Their knowledge. In this way, our Gods observed us. Nurtured us. Punished us. Guided us."

Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
