A black and grated metal platform is meadowed with the dust of time. It's crisscrossed with the tracks of tiny lifethings.

Space and time rattle off their hinges and tear your perception apart. Through the new crosshatch of consciousness, sound only comes through in waves, the sheen of chrome explodes in supernova, and you slowly become aware of the furrowed volume of air around the shape of a monstrous pyramid.

From the hands of a metalworker rods and strips erupted and cooled into shape.

Sine waves breaking on the glass lune encode the behavioral primitives of the enclave's mechanical children. The electron field sucks them through the antenna and into the aether.
