Isla Ristol - Aventuras en Marte
|
||||
|
||||
Entrada 2x2
|
||||
|
||||
Polaris sigue en el cielo, aunque me han tenido que señalar
|
||||
dónde está porque nos es fácil encontrarla en Marte. Las
|
||||
constelaciones son un poco raras. Casi igual que en la Tierra
|
||||
pero no completamente y te despistas.
|
||||
|
||||
Por la tarde voy a salir a la superficie, voy con otros chicos
|
||||
de la escuela (aunque no estoy dando clases) a visitar las
|
||||
«weewebs».
|
||||
|
||||
¿Qué son? Bueno, son como telarañas construidas por fungi
|
||||
(de la familia de las setas pero diferentes), que crecen
|
||||
por la superficie de marte y, debajo crean como una cúpula
|
||||
donde pueden vivir colonias de bacterias y otros seres
|
||||
vivos muy simples.
|
||||
|
||||
Hay campos gigantes de «weewebs» que parecen manchas blancas
|
||||
y en las «weewebs» más grandes hay hasta insectos de ingeniería
|
||||
genética.
|
||||
|
||||
Poco a poco quieren que Marte vuelva a la vida. Aunque no
|
||||
creo que nunca se parezca a la tierra. Hasta los marcianos
|
||||
(humanos)
|
||||
tienen un aspecto muy raro, tan delgados y altos.

QUOTE

|
||||
hoje caiu neve, pouca, é certo, mas caiu. hoje comprei o jornal
|
||||
como sempre compro ao sábado. hoje, curiosamente, não me apeteceu
|
||||
passear com a minha câmara fotográfica, como habitualmente ao
|
||||
sábado. não registei nenhuma imagem em silício, para além das que
|
||||
ficaram nos sais de prata da minha memória. as imagens onde fixo
|
||||
o meu olhar são as que sempre me ocorrem quando choro.
|
||||
|
||||
hoje está frio. hoje não pensei porque o pensamento não é a razão,
|
||||
a razão é o sentimento. hoje nevou, mas não caiu neve. comprei o
|
||||
jornal e não o paguei, porque não gosto de pagar os jornais, como
|
||||
não gosto de os ler ao sábado. a minha câmara fotográfica não me
|
||||
compreende, mas tem razão porque não pensa. a minha memória
|
||||
sente-me e gosta de mim e eu dela. não gosto da minha memória
|
||||
porque me atraiçoa. para além da minha memória só o vendedor de
|
||||
jornais me conhece e me sente. é um bom homem o vendedor de
|
||||
jornais, porque sabe ver a neve onde mais ninguém a vê.
|
||||
|
||||
hoje está frio e a as pessoas suam de tanto calor. sinto quente na
|
||||
minha câmara fotográfica porque nevou. hoje nevou e estou cansado,
|
||||
por isso não fotografei como habitualmente ao sábado.
|
||||

|

Podem perguntar o motivo pelo qual um militar, especialista em
|
||||
comunicações, se dedica a fotografar ao sábado. Grande parte da
|
||||
atividade de man-in-the-middle era planeada a partir de imagens
|
||||
que eram recolhidas de forma discreta, de forma a identificar
|
||||
potenciais locais

A log by PINK. She complains about her fellow human-inhabitant,
|
||||
GREEN. Unfairly, I believe. She has yet to grasp his true purpose
|
||||
among the group, as has he. Which is ironic, because the
|
||||
remainder of the log is about the importance of patiently
|
||||
observing in order to discern a deeper meaning. It seems her
|

patience only extends in certain directions.
|
||||
|

She ends by mentioning a quasi-spiritual experience with the
|

crystals. This is unfortunate. She is beginning to sound like

-END-OF-PREFACE-
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
I see GREEN has been at the logs again. Nine drafted. Seven
|
||||
deleted before sending. How juvenile he is.
|
||||
|
||||
He never remembers to delete the ones he sent either. They're
|
||||
still sitting here on the terminal for anyone to read. Actually,
|
||||
that was probably his intention. And, for the record, I only ate
|
||||
the last apple because its been our 'last apple' for two years
|
||||
now and I was fed up listening to him go on about it.
|
||||
|
||||
It is not his job to send these, he is not qualified for it. He
|
||||
isn't qualified for much, to be honest.
|
||||
|
||||
The following is the actual update. Please disregard the previous
|
||||
logs by GREEN.
|
||||
|
||||
The crystals show extraordinary promise.
|
||||
|
||||
There's an old science fiction story, about a tiny species who
|
||||
visit earth to see whether intelligent life exists. These
|
||||
creatures are so small and with such a high rate of metabolism
|
||||
that they perceive the passage of time at a much higher rate
|
||||
than we do.
|
||||
|
||||
So, when they arrive, all they 'perceive' are these static,
|
||||
statue-like creatures (us), that move so slowly it seems
|
||||
like they move without any will or purpose. The creatures leave
|
||||
earth and conclude there is no intelligent life there.
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe they wait for like a year in their time, which is maybe a
|
||||
few seconds in our time. I don't know, I can't remember the story
|
||||
well, but I hope you get my point.
|
||||
|
||||
GREEN is impatient, like those micro-creatures from the story.
|
||||
Intelligence can take many forms. If you observe something,
|
||||
anything, for long enough, a pattern emerges. I observe the
|
||||
crystals constantly. Whenever I can. I know that something is
|
||||
happening. Most likely, its happening underneath the surface.
|
||||
|
||||
What we know for certain about the crystals has already been
|
||||
reported and is, admittedly, a little thin. Their behaviour
|
||||
remains unchanged - they brighten slightly with increases in
|
||||
atmospheric pressure. I initially described is as a 'glow', but
|
||||
I'd probably have to correct that. It's just a slight change in
|
||||
their shade of red. We were probably projecting some of our
|
||||
expectations when we described it as a glow. There are still the
|
||||
same amount of them, 133 withing 5km of our base. We've yet to
|
||||
travel and survey much farther with the equipment we have on
|
||||
hand. I admit, I am a bit disappointed that there is no real
|
||||
change in their population, but I still suspect some activity is
|
||||
going on somewhere, somehow, just slightly beyond our horizon of
|
||||
understanding.
|
||||
|
||||
We also, of course, have NAVY's 'records' of the crystals. If I
|
||||
have some doubts about GREENS value to the mission, I am still
|
||||
absolutely dumbfounded by NAVY's presence here. Sometimes I
|
||||
wonder whether this is truly a scientifically-motivated
|
||||
expedition, or whether some higher-ups have notions about NAVY's
|
||||
claims regarding the 'elixir' qualities of the crystals...Anyway,
|
||||
I've gone on enough about these points in previous updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Well then, why did I say that they show extraordinary promise?
|
||||
As I said, I observe them constantly, although 'observing' them
|
||||
isn't really the right term. I set up the equipment, and sit and
|
||||
wait. There isn't much to really keep track of here, so I often
|
||||
find myself spacing out a bit.
|
||||
|
||||
Recently, during these periods, I've been having something akin
|
||||
to 'dreams'. I'm in a city. An empty city. And everything is
|
||||
tinted in the same red colour as the crystals. It's like the sun
|
||||
is setting and casting its glow over the city, only the glow
|
||||
doesn't follow the usual rules of light and physics. When I
|
||||
move around, go to shaded parts of the city, or even indoors, the
|
||||
glow remains.
|
||||
|
||||
I just wander the city, for hours sometimes. There's nothing
|
||||
there. It's peaceful.
|
||||
|
||||
My theory is that these are not simply hallucinations or
|
||||
daydreams, I believe the crystals may be communicating something
|
||||
to me.
|
||||
|
||||
I know, I know. Just a moment ago I was complaining about NAVY's
|
||||
fanatical theories regarding the crystals. But this is different.
|
||||
|
||||
It has already been established (albeit controversially) that
|
||||
psychic modes of communication can be initiated between humans
|
||||
and alien populations. The modes of communication in the universe
|
||||
are myriad (just look at the power of the QEC). Why couldn't it
|
||||
be scientifically viable that the crystals simply operate on a
|
||||
different wavelength than the one we usually operate on?
|
||||
|
||||
There is more to tell, but I can hear GREEN shuffling around
|
||||
outside the room. He seems agitated about something. Signing off
|
||||
for now.

||||
Maybe they wait for like a year in their time, which is maybe a
|
||||
few seconds in our time. I don't know, I can't remember the story
|
||||
well, but I hope you get my point.
|
||||
|
||||
GREEN is impatient, like those micro-creatures from the story.
|
||||
Intelligence can take many forms. If you observe something,
|
||||
anything, for long enough, a pattern emerges. I observe the
|
||||
crystals constantly. Whenever I can. I know that something is
|
||||
happening. Most likely, its happening underneath the surface.
|
||||
|
||||
What we know for certain about the crystals has already been
|
||||
reported and is, admittedly, a little thin. Their behaviour
|
||||
remains unchanged - they brighten slightly with increases in
|
||||
atmospheric pressure. I initially described is as a 'glow', but
|
||||
I'd probably have to correct that. It's just a slight change in
|
||||
their shade of red. We were probably projecting some of our
|
||||
expectations when we described it as a glow. There are still the
|
||||
same amount of them, 133 withing 5km of our base. We've yet to
|
||||
travel and survey much farther with the equipment we have on
|
||||
hand. I admit, I am a bit disappointed that there is no real
|
||||
change in their population, but I still suspect some activity is
|
||||
going on somewhere, somehow, just slightly beyond our horizon of
|
||||
understanding.
|
||||
|
||||
We also, of course, have NAVY's 'records' of the crystals. If I
|
||||
have some doubts about GREENS value to the mission, I am still
|
||||
absolutely dumbfounded by NAVY's presence here. Sometimes I
|
||||
wonder whether this is truly a scientifically-motivated
|
||||
expedition, or whether some higher-ups have notions about NAVY's
|
||||
claims regarding the 'elixir' qualities of the crystals...Anyway,
|
||||
I've gone on enough about these points in previous updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Well then, why did I say that they show extraordinary promise?
|
||||
As I said, I observe them constantly, although 'observing' them
|
||||
isn't really the right term. I set up the equipment, and sit and
|
||||
wait. There isn't much to really keep track of here, so I often
|
||||
find myself spacing out a bit.
|
||||
|
||||
Recently, during these periods, I've been having something akin
|
||||
to 'dreams'. I'm in a city. An empty city. And everything is
|
||||
tinted in the same red colour as the crystals. It's like the sun
|
||||
is setting and casting its glow over the city, only the glow
|
||||
doesn't follow the usual rules of light and physics. When I
|
||||
move around, go to shaded parts of the city, or even indoors, the
|
||||
glow remains.
|
||||
|
||||
I just wander the city, for hours sometimes. There's nothing
|
||||
there. It's peaceful.
|
||||
|
||||
My theory is that these are not simply hallucinations or
|
||||
daydreams, I believe the crystals may be communicating something
|
||||
to me.
|
||||
|
||||
I know, I know. Just a moment ago I was complaining about NAVY's
|
||||
fanatical theories regarding the crystals. But this is different.
|
||||
|
||||
It has already been established (albeit controversially) that
|
||||
psychic modes of communication can be initiated between humans
|
||||
and alien populations. The modes of communication in the universe
|
||||
are myriad (just look at the power of the QEC). Why couldn't it
|
||||
be scientifically viable that the crystals simply operate on a
|
||||
different wavelength than the one we usually operate on?
|
||||
|
||||
There is more to tell, but I can hear GREEN shuffling around
|
||||
outside the room. He seems agitated about something. Signing off
|
||||
for now.

Isla Ristol - Aventuras en Marte
|
||||
|
||||
Entrada 2x2
|
||||
|
||||
Polaris sigue en el cielo, aunque me han tenido que señalar
|
||||
dónde está porque nos es fácil encontrarla en Marte. Las
|
||||
constelaciones son un poco raras. Casi igual que en la Tierra
|
||||
pero no completamente y te despistas.
|
||||
|
||||
Por la tarde voy a salir a la superficie, voy con otros chicos
|
||||
de la escuela (aunque no estoy dando clases) a visitar las
|
||||
«weewebs».
|
||||
|
||||
¿Qué son? Bueno, son como telarañas construidas por fungi
|
||||
(de la familia de las setas pero diferentes), que crecen
|
||||
por la superficie de marte y, debajo crean como una cúpula
|
||||
donde pueden vivir colonias de bacterias y otros seres
|
||||
vivos muy simples.
|
||||
|
||||
Hay campos gigantes de «weewebs» que parecen manchas blancas
|
||||
y en las «weewebs» más grandes hay hasta insectos de ingeniería
|
||||
genética.
|
||||
|
||||
Poco a poco quieren que Marte vuelva a la vida. Aunque no
|
||||
creo que nunca se parezca a la tierra. Hasta los marcianos
|
||||
(humanos)
|
||||
tienen un aspecto muy raro, tan delgados y altos.

Transmission Log - Orestes
|
||||
Author: Pink
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Auto-generating preface...
|
||||
|
||||
A log by PINK. She complains about her fellow human-inhabitant,
|
||||
GREEN. Unfairly, I believe. She has yet to grasp his true purpose
|
||||
among the group, as has he. Which is ironic, because the
|
||||
remainder of the log is about the importance of patiently
|
||||
observing in order to discern a deeper meaning. It seems her
|
||||
patience only extends in certain directions.
|
||||
|
||||
She ends by mentioning a quasi-spiritual experience with the
|
||||
crystals. This is unfortunate. She is beginning to sound like
|
||||
NAVY. She was initially hired for her exceptional scientific
|
||||
mind, but perhaps the years spent in Orestes have begun to take
|
||||
their toll. Please send recommendations regarding potential
|
||||
replacements.
|
||||
|
||||
-END-OF-PREFACE-
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
I see GREEN has been at the logs again. Nine drafted. Seven
|
||||
deleted before sending. How juvenile he is.
|
||||
|
||||
He never remembers to delete the ones he sent either. They're
|
||||
still sitting here on the terminal for anyone to read. Actually,
|
||||
that was probably his intention. And, for the record, I only ate
|
||||
the last apple because its been our 'last apple' for two years
|
||||
now and I was fed up listening to him go on about it.
|
||||
|
||||
It is not his job to send these, he is not qualified for it. He
|
||||
isn't qualified for much, to be honest.
|
||||
|
||||
The following is the actual update. Please disregard the previous
|
||||
logs by GREEN.
|
||||
|
||||
The crystals show extraordinary promise.
|
||||
|
||||
There's an old science fiction story, about a tiny species who
|
||||
visit earth to see whether intelligent life exists. These
|
||||
creatures are so small and with such a high rate of metabolism
|
||||
that they perceive the passage of time at a much higher rate
|
||||
than we do.
|
||||
|
||||
So, when they arrive, all they 'perceive' are these static,
|
||||
statue-like creatures (us), that move so slowly it seems
|
||||
like they move without any will or purpose. The creatures leave
|
||||
earth and conclude there is no intelligent life there.
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe they wait for like a year in their time, which is maybe a
|
||||
few seconds in our time. I don't know, I can't remember the story
|
||||
well, but I hope you get my point.
|
||||
|
||||
GREEN is impatient, like those micro-creatures from the story.
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

||||
