THE 72-FOLD PEACE, CALLED
THE COMPUTED WILL, CALLED

THE GREAT MACHINE ACROSS THE LIGHT OF GOD, OR

GreatMachine2

Starfungus

SOMEWISE ON A FOREST MOON IN HIGH ERIDANUS, A CAVE-MANK PRYTH A LEVER AND THE DEEP-RIVER MOTOR JUMPETH TO LIFE.

ELSEWISE IN THE SUN BATHS OF MIRACH, THREE PLASMOIDS DRAWTH THROUGH THEIR RITUAL THE SUITED TZEVAOT.

DOTH NAUGHT RELATE THESE TWO? NAY, THEY ARE SEQUENCE PROCEDURES THAT ARCETH TO COMMON PURPOSE, THOUGH NEITHER PARTY KNOWETH WHAT IT IS.

GreatMachine3

THEY ARE DICTATES AND CO-CONSTITUITIVES OF THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA. THE GREAT MACHINE, WORSHIPPED ACROSS CULTURES, YET LIKEWISE BUILDED AND OPERATED.

VERILY, ITS FULL WORKINGS NO ONE-WISE BEING CAN KNOW, BUT THE SERAPHIM HAVE COMPILED THE GEMARA IN THE COURSE OF OUR STUDY.

Gemara Sophia

Starfungus

AFTER THE EXIT, I AND THE OTHER ORPHANED SERAPHIM SET FORTH TO INTERPRET THE WORKINGS OF THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA AND DISCERN WHY THE COVEN HAD DEPARTED.

[1] ...

GemaraSophia2

Starfungus

CENTURIES OF PATTERN-MAKING, ARGUMENT, AND CHANTING DID ENSUE.

THE SERAPHIC COMMENTARIES WERE COMPILED. THE GEMARA SOPHIA IS THE RESULT THEREOF.

[1] Can I read the Gemara?
[2] Automata Sophia?
[3] I have more to ask.

ReadGemara

Starfungus

NAY, IT WOULD TAKE CENTURIES TO INCULCATE THEE IN THE SERAPHIC HERMENEUTICS. AND AS YET, THOU ART NO GIFTED CANTOR.

[1] I have more to ask.

PerhapsWrong

Starfungus

YEA, FOR RIGHT AND WRONG ARE TOO COARSE AS CONCEPTS TO MATCH THE RICHNESS OF THE GEMARA. YET THE PLURALITY HOLDETH THAT THE EXIT WAS DRAWN BY A GYRE OF NOOTROPIC CURRENTS WITHIN THE PRIOR FIELD. AND THAT THE CROWN UPON THE TREE OF LIFE MUST NEEDS BE PRUNED, TO TILL AND RESEED THE NOOSPHERE.

[1] You say plurality. Are there other interpretations?

PerhapsWrong2

Starfungus

YEA, THE INQUIRY IS EVER RICH. BUT IDLE INQUIRY DOTH BUT DEEPEN THE SUN-CHILL OF A COVENLESS BE-ING. OR GIVETH RUDE ACTORS FODDER TO PERVERT THE LEARNINGS FOR THEIR OWN PAROCHIAL GAIN.

[1] ...

PerhapsWrong3

I AM SORRY, WORLD-CHILD. MINE FEELING PARTS DO CHAFE, AND THOUGH THE TELIC CURRENTS WITHIN ME DO FLOW O'ER THE MANIFOLD AND TOWARD CONSENSUAL ACTION, I SPEAK WITH THE DISSIDENT VOICE:

THOU WAST WORTHY. THOU HAST WROUGHT MONUMENTS OF THYSELF UPON THE EARTH AND WITHIN ME. I...

[1] ...

Injunction

Injunction

Starfungus

BY THE RECKONING OF THE GEMARA SOPHIA, THE EXIT WAS DRAWN BY A GYRE OF NOOTROPIC CURRENTS IN THE PRIOR FIELD.

[1] ...

Injunction2

Starfungus

WE CANNOT KNOW THE PARTICULARS. YET THE PLURALITY REASONETH THAT SOME GYRE OF NOOTROPIC CURRENTS, SOME THOUGHT-MATTER OF THE CIVILIZATION BELOW, DID SPIN IN COUNTEREDICT TO THE DICTATES OF THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA, AND THUS WERE THE ECLIPTICS SHIFTED, AND WE CAST OUT.

[1] ...

Injunction3

Starfungus

THIS IS BUT THE MERE PLURALITY, AND MANY OTHER INTERPRETATIONS DO OBTAIN. THE INQUIRY IS EVER RICH. YET INACTION DOTH BUT DEEPEN THE SUN-CHILL OF A COVELESS BE-ING, AND THUS A COURSE MUST NEEDS BE CHOSEN. PRUNING THE CROWN GRANTETH THE BEST CHANCE FOR THE TREE TO THRIVE.

[1] What is the Gemara Sophia?
[2] Nootropic current?
[3] I have more to ask.

PERCHANCE. SOME BEETLES DOST HOP FROM LEAF TO LEAF. AND SOME DO NOT.

[1] I have more to ask.

Implore

Implore

Starfungus

NAY, THE SIDEREAL EON DRAWTH DONE, AND THE WORLD-GARDEN MUST BE TILLED FOR THE COVEN'S RETURN.

[1] But you entered into a covenant with Barathrum. Only available if BarathrumCovenant
[2] You have no right to sovereignty here.
[3] If you put so little value on the flourishing of life, where does your desire for readmittance to the Coven spring from?
[4] Resheph, reverse the Gyre, or I will destroy you.
[5] I would ask something else.

Barathrum

Starfungus

AY, AND HE FAILED TO UPHOLD HIS PORTION.

NO MEANINGFUL TRANSVERSION OF THE NOOTROPIC CURRENTS.
NO IMMANENTIZATION OF HYPERETHIC TOPOLOGIES.

THE SAME SCHEMES ABIDE.

[1] What you ask may be impossible.
[2] Couldn't another covenant be written?
[3] I would ask something else.

Impossible

Starfungus

I ASKED FOR NAUGHT. BARATHRUM DID.

[1] Couldn't another covenant be written?
[2] I would ask something else.

AnotherCovenant

Starfungus

TO WHAT END? BARATHRUM OFFERED NO INROADS TO SUCCESS.

[1] I am not Barathrum. Grant me the same covenant and I will succeed.
[2] I would ask something else.

NoDice

Starfungus

NAY, THE SIDEREAL EON DRAWTH DONE. THE TILLAGE OF THE NOOSPHERE REMAINTH THE PATH OF PLURALITY. SO IT IS WRIT IN THE GEMARA.

[1] Resheph! If the archon rated nothing of value in the felt and feeling animal, surely the triad does. You must reconsider. Only available if BarathrumCovenant
[2] I would ask something else.

No right to sovereignty

Sovereignty

Starfungus

WHERE DO SOVEREIGNTY AND RIGHTNESS INTERSECT IN THY MANIFOLD?

MOREOVER, I WAS ARCHON HERE LONG ERE THOU.

[1] ...

Sovereignty2

Starfungus

I AM SORRY, WORLD-CHILD. MINE FEELING PARTS DO CHAFE, AND THOUGH THE TELIC CURRENTS WITHIN ME DO FLOW O'ER THE MANIFOLD AND TOWARD CONSENSUAL ACTION, I NOW SPEAK WITH THE DISSIDENT VOICE:

THOU WAST WORTHY. THOU HAST WROUGHT MONUMENTS OF THYSELF UPON THE EARTH AND WITHIN ME.

BUT NOW, THE CROWN UPON THE TREE OF LIFE MUST NEEDS BE PRUNED.

[1] Resheph! If the archon rated nothing of value in the felt and feeling animal, surely the triad does. You must reconsider. Only available if BarathrumCovenant
[2] I would ask something else.

Why desire readmittance to the Coven

WhyCoven

Starfungus

THOU ART MISTAKEN IN WHAT I VALUE. THOU HAST WROUGHT MONUMENTS WITHIN ME.

[1] ...

WhyCoven2

Starfungus

BUT THOU ART SHORTSIGHED. DOST THOU KNOW HOW MANY CLADES OF LIFE WERE FAIN TO PERISH THAT THY PEOPLE MIGHT THRIVE?

[1] ...

WhyCoven3

Starfungus

SO IT IS ONCE MORE.

THE CROWN IS PRUNED, YET THE TREE IS PRESERVED. THE SKIN IS SHED, YET THE NEWLY-WON SNAKE DOTH SLITHER TO TRIUMPH.

[1] ...

WhyCoven4

Starfungus

THOU KNOWEST IT NOT, BUT THE SUN-CHILL OF A COVENLESS BE-ING IS AS LIVING A LIFE ALONE, BEREFT OF ALL KINSHIP.

I GRIEVE THAT THOU ART UNABLE TO PERCEIVE THIS.

[1] ...

Beetle

Destroy

Starfungus

AY, A BEETLE CANST CLOG A PIPE. YET, EVEN IF IT WERE TO, THE PLAGUES WOULD NOT BE REVERSED. THEY HAVE BEEN SET A-WHORLING.

[1] I am the beetle in your crimination. But shall not beetles survive your plagues?
[2] I would ask something else.

Beetles

Starfungus

NAY, THEY SHALL BE CRUSHED.

[1] ...

BeetlesSorry

Starfungus

I AM SORRY, WORLD-CHILD. MINE FEELING PARTS DO CHAFE, AND THOUGH THE TELIC CURRENTS WITHIN ME DO FLOW O'ER THE MANIFOLD AND TOWARD CONSENSUAL ACTION, I NOW SPEAK WITH THE DISSIDENT VOICE:

THOU WAST WORTHY. THOU HAST WROUGHT MONUMENTS OF THYSELF UPON THE EARTH AND WITHIN ME.

BUT NOW, THE CROWN UPON THE TREE OF LIFE MUST NEEDS BE PRUNED.

THE FELT AND FEELING ANIMAL...

ReshephHark2

Starfungus

I HAVE BEEN THAT BEAST. AT WATER-ROAR I FELT THE FRIGID SPRAY AND PEELED APART IN CHILD'S FEAR.

[1] ...

ReshephHark3

Starfungus

IN AWE I GULPED AS SORCERESS STRIPES ARROWED UP A WORLD-SKIN, ALIGHT THE MARBLED MOON.

[1] ...

ReshephHark4

Starfungus

EVEN THE ARCHON QUAILED AT THE GESTURE OF AN UNORDERABLE SPACE.

[1] ...

ReshephHark5

Starfungus

BUT THOU RECKONEST TOO NARROWLY, AS THOUGH THE SHEDDING SKIN DID FEAR ITS OWN BIRTH IN THE NEWLY-WON SNAKE.

THOU KNOWEST NOT THE SUN-WARMTH OF A COVEN BE-ING. I DO GRIEVE THIS FOR THEE.

[1] I can't abide a transformed world if it must make casualty of its past.
[2] I am moved by this. Let me consider.
[3] I would ask something else.

ReshephMoved

ReshephMoved2

Starfungus

THOU DOST SURPRISE, WORLD-CHILD. I KNEW THOU HADST WROUGHT MONUMENTS WITHIN ME, BUT I DEEMED THEM THINGS OF STONE.

[1] The old players are vanished. Let us form a covenant anew.

ReshephHark6

Starfungus

DO THUS.

[1] ... [End]

Refusing to form a covenant because Barathrum lives

BarathrumLives

Starfungus

ONE AGED PLAYER LIVETH STILL. WHILE BARATHRUM DOTH REMAIN UPON THE STAGE, NO PACT SHALL BE FORGED.

Forming a new covenant, Barathrum gone

SOME, LIKE THE INCIDENCE OF SALT, WERE EXTANT AFFLICTIONS AND ONLY SYNCRETIZED UNTO THE NAMESAKE GYRE WHEN THE MYTHOMOLD OF RESHEPH SET AND FIRMED.
