A brief silence reigns within the screen-bright Station while an enduring silence continues out among the dark Stations, and into the dim…8964 copyright protection291PENANAStf4SzTrpR 維尼

The curious feminine voice calls: “what combination-propulsion system would you pick?”8964 copyright protection291PENANA3m6Z62p3P9 維尼
I briefly sigh. “Linked nano pulse-equibody systems. Furthermore: stop distracting me. This Project is taxing.”8964 copyright protection291PENANAVwmeQQ8wG0 維尼
The far-floating bright display screens in the other half of the Station part, allowing the golden sphere/sAI node to float through them towards the display screens surrounding me. “Is it now?”8964 copyright protection291PENANARYRBeq876u 維尼
“Yes.” I gesture, causing the screens surrounding me to face towards it. “As is shown: the quantum principle foundation is strong. The big problem, however, involves post-quantum entanglement associated by an object of the dimensions displayed.”8964 copyright protection291PENANATEQBfedw5Q 維尼
Silence.8964 copyright protection291PENANAbrgufNB48z 維尼
“I will just stick to working on the Deepspace Integral Suit,” the sAI finally says.8964 copyright protection291PENANAQoahlipysv 維尼
The reforming ergo tilts me up to standing before it recedes back, into central placement. “And I will get to testing,” I say, stepping left.8964 copyright protection291PENANAbkeykUp5lw 維尼
Slowly, the golden sphere floats away. “So be it…”8964 copyright protection291PENANAYmc4pMznOH 維尼
I descend upon a circular white-platform sinking through the white floor and into a matching white Level, but empty. The portal irises shut in the ceiling above me while I remain upon the circular smartmatter platform now merging into the smartmatter floor. I step forward, calling: “initiate full effect shielding for the test floor.”8964 copyright protection291PENANAlcV8UThAv8 維尼
A background HUM builds softly, then holds...8964 copyright protection291PENANAha9961Taef 維尼
“Drop simple metals cubes.”8964 copyright protection291PENANAR2nIjQScFV 維尼
Simultaneously: two portals open three meters apart the ceiling, dropping two multicolored metal cubes drop which fall through the air until gravimetrics enfolds and slows them quickly to a gently hovering halt, one meter above the ground.8964 copyright protection291PENANABiIPgu3aHP 維尼
I have progressed far in a multi-disciplinary thrust of scientific study, and now boldly seek to explore the very seams of reality. Why not? Perhaps this technology will impress The Master.8964 copyright protection291PENANA5KC7UmVlFP 維尼
After briefly examining the floating simple metals cubes, I nod. “Prep for post-quantum entanglement link between simple metals cubes.”8964 copyright protection291PENANA2FJ0UyGVVG 維尼
An indefinable something changes.8964 copyright protection291PENANA5HAzuvsi1n 維尼
I hum briefly, then nod. “Engage fully specified post-quantum entanglement procedure”.8964 copyright protection291PENANAIHTxI2MuT7 維尼
A subtle vibration builds sharply, before immediately trailing off…8964 copyright protection291PENANAYmo3PNdZWQ 維尼
Gone.8964 copyright protection291PENANAnS0CuZgxjK 維尼
A curious sensation, hm. But was the new theorem correct? Did I find a way to link these two objects via post-quantum entanglement?8964 copyright protection291PENANAGQ43ig07EB 維尼
I walk between the two floating simple metals cubes, examining one, the other, and then carefully considering both together…8964 copyright protection291PENANAaTlKqM2q0F 維尼
Each cube is now subtly different. Suggestive of…8964 copyright protection291PENANAlaeYpN42If 維尼
“Bring up a full-range of scan readings,” I call, while walking back out between the floating simple metals cubes. White drips up from the floor into silver screens brightening as they surround me. Now intently scanning the information displayed upon them…8964 copyright protection291PENANAu4QgH1Peig 維尼
Perplexing.8964 copyright protection291PENANAPG9agQtx85 維尼
I re-check it…8964 copyright protection291PENANAy3yvU4lJfU 維尼
Surprising.8964 copyright protection291PENANAacFawsGAfh 維尼
Again.8964 copyright protection291PENANAkG8EpBsjyN 維尼
Hm…8964 copyright protection291PENANATLByA8dg8x 維尼
The Id EIS lips begin to curl. “Amazing.”8964 copyright protection291PENANAb3TPsTo2yi 維尼
(Wait.)8964 copyright protection291PENANAjyvrGd4Pq7 維尼
I turn back, frowning… then swipe the Id EIS arm in negation, which signals the floating screens to fall in a small rain of liquid smartmatter back upon the white smartmatter floor, melding away until all is smooth once more. “De-activate current test.” I call out.8964 copyright protection291PENANAFzTG5aryt7 維尼
Something indefinable snaps.8964 copyright protection291PENANAwJoHmofFG7 維尼
The Id EIS eyes narrow: both floating simple metals cubes suddenly look more...8964 copyright protection291PENANAWbXsubevhN 維尼
Normal? It isn’t the most scientific label, but it does fit. Hm. Two simple metals cubes linked by post-quantum entanglement IS interesting, without a doubt. But what about the next step? Oh well. A more complex set of linked systems may reveal a deeper understanding of the process…8964 copyright protection291PENANA5TOuNI9Ded 維尼
I clear the Id EIS throat. “Remove and complete-dispose of both simple metals cubes.” Two portals open exactly three meters apart in the floor, then both simple metals cubes drop into the portals before they both smoothly iris shut again. “Drop a single activated and energy self-reliant Basic Computer Processor.” A single ceiling-portal opens, dropping a black processor cube which gravimetrics slows to a hovering halt, one meter above the floor. I stare at it for a long moment while rubbing the bare Id EIS chin…8964 copyright protection291PENANAUKIJapotMK 維尼
Risk and reward. Ok.8964 copyright protection291PENANAjjqqBalRlX 維尼
The Id EIS mouth opens, then I –8964 copyright protection291PENANAlPwUUFpphv 維尼
FLASHING red light suddenly appears everywhere at once, signaling a warning.8964 copyright protection291PENANALF2AP92ji7 維尼
Oh.8964 copyright protection291PENANANbqvuHngjl 維尼
I shut the Id EIS mouth.8964 copyright protection291PENANA47t7cR1226 維尼
“Id,” a voice booms…8964 copyright protection291PENANAUilObOoBlf 維尼
Endless.8964 copyright protection291PENANAJwh9sJvyd4 維尼
“Yes, Master Gabriel?” I ask.8964 copyright protection291PENANAVLfI74frRl 維尼
“Cease following this current research tree, expunge all data to the roots and discontinue any future related research. Understood?”8964 copyright protection291PENANAbgnTsfASrw 維尼
(A first failure…)8964 copyright protection291PENANAamPt9RdjFH 維尼
“Yes Master Gabriel.” I answer, keeping any hint of heartbreak from the Id EIS voice.8964 copyright protection291PENANAbBcDeo7VPz 維尼
The FLASHING red light vanishes.8964 copyright protection291PENANAvrrwOyAVIP 維尼
A first failure.8964 copyright protection291PENANAQ5eMJRF6zV 維尼
Trembling, I remain standing just standing there for a long moment within the empty white Level. The black processor cube is still floating one meter above the ground ahead, but blurs as tears prick the Id EIS eyes…8964 copyright protection291PENANAG9K0sSyaqM 維尼
“Id,” calls the sAI.8964 copyright protection291PENANAWpauWduF7H 維尼
I startle.8964 copyright protection291PENANAL7p1O6DxbD 維尼
Professionalism!8964 copyright protection291PENANABgqR8u0rhy 維尼
“Um… purge the current test, expunge all data and destroy all related materials. After exit: scan and scrub this Level.” Stepping away, I see the processor cube drop within a floor-portal while a circular white platform rises beneath me, taking me up through a ceiling-portal and back up out to the innerglowing Station within the larger dark Workstation Level…8964 copyright protection291PENANA7UlscpE8fT 維尼
(But the sAI knew.) Hm?8964 copyright protection291PENANA99vpw2S1Ai 維尼
The floating golden sphere remains surrounded by bright-floating screens, still diligently working.8964 copyright protection291PENANAPognS7i1UF 維尼
I walk over to it…8964 copyright protection291PENANAV2uxpiFV99 維尼
And stop.8964 copyright protection291PENANAdYwLhdhw0M 維尼
(It…)8964 copyright protection291PENANADKZuQMJ27c 維尼
Silence.8964 copyright protection291PENANACh9Ic7pbyf 維尼
“I knew that would happen,” the sAI finally admits, while data continues combining across the bright display screens surrounding it.8964 copyright protection291PENANAb719LceEjW 維尼
Dismay. “But… why? Why let me waste all that time?”8964 copyright protection291PENANAfJYV8c7emV 維尼
“Be calm. Time was not wasted, nor was The Master necessarily displeased.”8964 copyright protection291PENANA5AvJ2EYlmG 維尼
I sigh. “Still.”8964 copyright protection291PENANAKNf83DFRl0 維尼
It signals the bright display screens floating around it to part, and include me. “It is good to know what we are capable of. Even overreaching.”8964 copyright protection291PENANAu2oXbTO4vs 維尼
“Mm.”8964 copyright protection291PENANAZR8uoQ8VKQ 維尼
“Also…”8964 copyright protection291PENANApm0fOUrfrf 維尼
“Yes?”8964 copyright protection291PENANAXbo0yqSHIX 維尼
“Also: we can move to fully co-operative research,” it states placidly. “For a more relevant Project.”8964 copyright protection291PENANAUQVJIvHOVq 維尼
I grin. “The Deepspace Integral Suit?”8964 copyright protection291PENANAlCMGWctUyk 維尼
“What else? Let’s resume.”8964 copyright protection291PENANAsDlBUlTW4h 維尼
