And we’re back from Beyond the Void! Are all you Voiders having a specular summer? This time we’re back with Robotek Reagan’s first mini conceptual LP as he explores a multitude of styles with a healthy smattering of his more thoughtful vocal pieces. As always, we try to offer reasonably timed radio edits of Robotek’s 8-minute vocal ballads; however, when pressed by the label this time, Robotek rolled his eyes, letting out an exasperated cry as he stormed out of the office, muttering something about “ADHD (explicative) kids and there ADHD music” and “nobody has an attention span anymore” or another. Due to protecting the already somewhat questionable public image of our label’s main artist with a history of ADHD behaviors and tendencies, we will not quote the rest. And as such, we present Robotek’s “TRANSHUMAN AGENDA” LP.

     If you remember our last installment on (dark side of the) Transhuman Agenda (TA), we spoke in brief detail about the exploits of the cloning facilities. On this LP’s cover, we find our fully grown chimera nanodaptogen from the CTEN experiments on Island 33 in a scene where he’s just broken out of the abandoned underground facilities after being stuck for thousands of years alone in solitude. Freed by a man named Eon Æytheon, he dedicated his life to helping this mysterious adventurer, the first being to ever show it kindness, and help uncover the wild mysteries behind the universe they live in. Upon seeing the ocean and sunset for the first time, he gazes in wild wonder. Having only known infinity to exist in the lonely confines of his growth tank, this new scene showed him a new world of infinity consisting of hope, beauty, and desire.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT of EMPERION
PUBLIC NOTICE OF THE PURSUIT OF TRANSHUMANISM
13th of Yesha, 1666 BCE

     TRANSHUMANISM — what is it? Some will paint it out to be the beginning of the end of humanity, or at least the individual’s soul. As your official servant to the Designers of Emperion in this blessed land of Lucidia, I, Octavia Thurston, your official humble Orator of the Official word of The Designers of Emperion, hope to quell your fears and sing beauty into your minds about the wondrous advancements within the realm of Nanodatogenics and Alkitek. After decades of hard research, these technologies are finally ready to be made mainstream.
     Today, we introduce the discovery of the Lucidia-Culture-Matrix. Once just a wild theory, the Alkitek Sages have finally finished the creation of a pocket dimension linked with the flow of soul generation and indexing within the core circuits of our universe’s holy Æyther Codex. By partitioning the area of the codex responsible for soul generation, the Sages were able to create a new, empty data container separate but entangled, of which they could imprint the state of a current soul.
     Infusing the soul into a newly grown cloned body was found to be impossible; however, a way to overcome this barrier was quickly discovered by converting the soul-state to a light spectrum frequency projected into a Hermetic Alkitek chamber while growing a quantum crystal. This soul-crystal is then placed in a body growth chamber, and the crystal forms the body based on the last state of the soul’s recorded progress.
     Over the next hour, you’ll be presented with demonstrations of all the exciting benefits of the Alkitek soul-crystalization process, which allows you to store backups of your own soul in the Lucidia-Culture-Matrix in case body-death occurs. You’ll have the ability to buy a personal “save point” for your home or visit one of many various locations around Lucidia.
     For those holding jobs within the realms of sciences and technologies, we offer neural upgrades for mathematical processing. Those who work in construction may find exciting benefits in chimeric nanodaptogenics, allowing one to greatly enhance the capacity of their body for both the physical endurance and nimbleness needed by mixing and matching traits from the various strong creatures found on Lucida’s floating islands.
     We are on the precipice of a new era, and our only goal is to raise us all to the next level to achieve great and fun things as we create this beautiful experience of life together.

“The unfortunate divisive nature of our classes is important—we are inherently different and driven by different things; those of us in this room understand what it means to be destined to push forward humanity by the will of the universe. Those not privy to this divine signal will never understand those of us who work for the Word of the Designers—this is but a simple truth.”

“Educate to Subjugate, I always say. Repetition paves the way!”

— Octavia Thurston, 3rd of Gigai, 1565 BCE, overheard on his 9th Annual Sabbatical to address the Void Vessels being induced into the mining labor society after their brief stints in life as innocent and ignorant children†

† It is worth noting that children live wonderful, imaginative, and fruitful lives together in unity until they are eased into labor groups based on their given name-path which is assigned at birth. Through proper and rigorous environmental and emotional programming of the highest standards, these children are shaped into fine subjects of the many labor groups that maintain the fabric of society. Anyone can engage in any culture; nothing is taboo, except, of course, rejecting The Holy State and Emperion; but who would want to do that?

“The emergence of new cultures must be closely monitored so that we can understand how to merge them into the Lucidia-Culture-Matrix of Empirion; or, more importantly, know when to intervene and dismantle State-debilitating culture before it compromises the common thread of civilization which we’ve so coherently weaved.”

That concludes this chapter in the Void Space Institute™’s (carefully curated) history books concerning the histories of the entities deigned as “human” within the 13th universe of Lucidia! Until next time, Voiders!
