My head, ahhh it hurts! Where am I?
Arvie: “You are in your private chamber, master. Your mother diviner had you brought in here after you passed out in the starburst event.”
What? I don’t understand. Who is this? Why are you in my head?
Arvie: “Master, I’m Arvie, your droid companion, don’t you remember? This is not good. We were not prepared and you were exposed to the spores for too long.”
Ahh, I cannot open my eyes. Everything is spinning and I might throw up.
Arvie: “I am prepared for that, sir. This is the effect of the spores on you. They are like euphoriant drugs for the native people, but affect you differently.”
Thanks, keep on fanning my face, it is making me better. You seem familiar and it feels right that you can respond to my thoughts. Why is that?
Arvie: “Master, we are connected. To be more precise we have a unique link and I can hear what passes through your thought threads, to a distance. I was made just for this purpose, to be your companion.”
I see. Tell me what happened to me.
Arvie: “It happened at the starburst event. Apparently, you have lost your memory of previous events, but some of your acquired knowledge is still intact, just like me when I first arrived here with you. Fortunately you have a diary that might help you to remember the events, if you relive it.”
Thank you. Set me up… Wow, that was great. This err… starburst was magnificent.
So, this is my diary, but still I cannot remember any part of it. Tell me what it was all about. I mean about grand celebration, my initiation and the rest.
Arvie: “Master, the grand celebration is when local people gather together to celebrate while they collect the spores that engulf their villages after a starburst.
The initiation rite happens right after any festive event in a village whenever some of the village kids have reached the brink of adulthood. In the process, they become full adults.
After that, their body’s rate of growth greatly slows down, which means they can live for a very long time. Another difference between adults and children is the ability to use mutacells to augment their bodies, to enhance their abilities or add new ones.
We had a mutacell with us when we arrived here with the instruction to augment you right after your initiation, although few races can tolerate the double procedure, but maybe you can.”
Yes, I remember that part of my diary, and I seemed to be amazed that you had managed to add such a clean thought-log to my diary, so how did you do that?
Arvie: “Well, it’s hard to explain in your current state, sir. I created a thought-log in your internal data banks and attached it to your thought threads through a noise filter and a scribe engine, which I wrote myself. Then I synchronized the thought-log to the visual feed from your eyes and audio feed from your ears, through another home-made routine.”
Ahh please, help me understand your jargon better.
Arvie: “Master, we are similar in a lot of ways. We all start our lives with our mind consoles and the internal data banks. We can add programmed routines to our mind consoles, and program them to work as noise filters or scribe engines, for example, and we all have thought threads that we can link to those mind routines.
These initial cybernetic foundations are just the beginning, and as I said before, we can add many ever more advanced enhancements later to augment our capabilities.
We are also different, because you are not a droid. I am complete from the beginning and do not need initiation for further augmentations, but you constantly grow, so for example, your mind console was not ready for complicated routines until recently, and I could not make your diary before that. In fact, it is one of the signs that you are ready for initiation.”
Thanks, wow, it seems that I have a lot to learn to catch up.
Arvie: “Master, there is something that I have to do.”
What is that?
Arvie: “There is some sort of encrypted data stored in my internal data banks with the instruction to install it in yours, right before your initiation, and I think this is the right time for the transfer.”
Go ahead and transfer it. This means it is the time for my initiation.
Arvie: “Yes sir, it is. You should get ready and join the initiation rite in the Galae chambers. Transfer completed.”
