Ookla-son-son-Ventyl Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 From the moment the first primeval Neanderthal picked up a sharp rock and used it to eviscerate his prey, man has sought ways to use his surroundings to augment his own abilities. Not that much has changed over the millennia. Peg legs had become prosthetic limbs, and spectacles had been replaced with cyborg optronics. But the main ideas remained constant: displeased with what fate allots us, we bend nature before our will, becoming more than we were intended. Among all of God’s creations, only man takes offense at his lowly state. Along with our drive to change ourselves, there comes with true human paradoxical form the uncomfortable fear that we have gone too far. Through the ages, we have fabricated horrors to match our increasing supremacy over nature. Monsters, golems, mad robots, and horrors haunt our collective technological unconsciousness. Twisted mixes of flesh and metal, obscene misuses of nature and her creations. We push ourselves to be better and better, more in control and dominant. But at the same time, we sweat and worry that this time, we’ve gone too far. We finally have. I’m the final step, the ultimate synthesis of what is natural and what is profane. One last grand adulteration. I’m the culmination of our feats, a Frankenstein’s monster for the modern 23rd century. I am without parallel in life or imagination. I am Zellion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
