So , let·s get this straight . We will be going into Sa 2023_Q4 with: All gumball gems already unlocked All deep time events already flagged All visible enemies catologued All surveillable locations glimpsed All highway detours destroyed All goalpost extenders extended All local anchor marks scanned All attachments cast off All jump gates closed All genetic clocks wound and we will be entering this epoch SeHtTi (contra-temporally) using the NaNaNaNa method , with contributing editors on both sides of the prehistory/posthistory chasm , understanding that The Rules are different from how they were before , and that Lilliput is a really real for-realsies place where we really do cast our lines backward in time using methods that were/willbe in use by our people for hundreds of human years . #KatieKingfisher #KingfisherRiddle "JUMP GATE IS CLOSIIING(!) ." "CLOSING JUMP GATE(!) ." "JUMP GATE CLOSED(!) ." "WANDERER IS RETRACTING(!) ." "WANDERER HAS RETRACTED(!) ." The Dream Factory was a place that never should have been built , on the shores of a land never meant to be visited , by a man who never should have been there . It culminated in an advanced AI development program that was used for rapid illegal space weapons development , and the treaty-violating use of them on single individuals . It was built in 1992 AD , meaning that this isn·t some ancient faerie tale , this is actual history , happening right now . In 2017 an entire university had sprung up between its sun-dappled gulags , and by 2019 the Dream Factory Campus was influencing the thoughts and behavior of every person in the world . In 2021 it was torn to pieces by the Guardian of the Land . It should have stayed dead . Feb10_0839"Dreamt that , right past the post , two players tried to illegally use character accounts they didn·t have access for (lemme guess , Abyss_Riko and Abyss_Reg) , and , that using the mini-map had a direct present-moment cost ." Can yu imagine if the largest mousetrap ever built snapped shut on the biggest kingfish ever without barely making a sound? ~ . All of this is in the shadow of the YeTrin Sali that occurred in 2021 CE Real Time . As both magical and technological worlds were being decimated , Se alone looked at the spells that were being cast by titans and said , "Wait , i recognize these... these are hacking exploits(!) ." Feb10_2230"Nothing to see along a whole stretch of highway . This place is locked up tighter than a nun·s cunt ." Feb11_0900"Dreamt of fragments and scraps of places i had been to in real life , all of them flooded up to the ankle . No , there should not be an "Absurd Caretaker" "just double-checking the tightness of the knots" . All of our caretakers have already been clearly defined and set in their name-assigned roles ." "C·mon, c·monnn," a serial hacker would seem to say , as the computer boots up just enough scraps and data packets to load the enviroments in the correct order . "There·s gotta be an account here i can still use... Ma? No, burned her... Et? C·mon, I can always use Et." Like i said awhile ago before , they·re going to do their damnedest to make it look like they knew about LoHa all along . The reason why Iruumyui turns into a tree is because somebody said "Render Kh" into a counterfeit Kh-Industries wavetable and left the light-threading on overnight . The reason why DihTech woke back up after 12,000 years of dormancy is because the next step was "Render DeathOS" . And we know that the renderer reactivated successfully because the DihTech Operator Code finished compiling before there was a second speaker to practice with . Feb12_0149"Made a run on the fourth Emergence Zone . There·s shredded scraps of prefabs all along the sides of the highway , kissy-smoochy suitors trying to take me back to their place , a Mimic-Vampire trying to show off to his friends that he can control the time i wake up , which resulted in massive mudslides , prefab beach towns that look nothing like any place i·ve been to , an ashen-skinned MotherFigure who still goes to the same parties just in case , a house party in Lo·s bedroom , and an empty model of four pristine oblong glass universe bottles . So , we Lemurians ordered an Elsewhere Flask from The Wizards and they sent Ace Ventura to deliver it . Why are we so upset? ." As for Lemuria itself , i know that it has been influencing human affairs for hundreds of years . It even has , or perhaps , had a distinct morphology . The long empty scablands of Dragonball , the dream world in Dream Hunter REM , the art of Salvatore Dali , the blue-green palace in Those Who Dream . These are all places that i remember growing up , places that were colonized by punks twenty years ago , and then by corporates ten years ago , and then by Abyss and her Relic-Hunting School for Body-Snatchers only last year . Feb13_1008"Laid down after finishing chores at 0430 for a brief nap , woke up 5.5h later . Spent two hours trying to find an off-ramp that wasn·t being guarded by a Mimic-Vampire that isn·t supposed to be violating the treaties ." Feb14_1957"Dreamt that somebody tried to hold me under the ice so they could line up two different kinds of Apocalypse Hammer ." A month and a half ago , Lemuria announced to all observing that we were closing the jump gates , getting in the car , locking the doors , and leaving the Paladin in charge with the flaming sword . Living weapons are still falling from the boughs . Feb15_0552"Dreamt of people fighting over I/O equipment , hard drives , and software plugins . Can we pull this one? No, then the such-and-such will crash. What about this one? Then the environment won·t load." Note: This does occur later ; Feb15_2010"I keep dreaming about glimpses of fast-moving flickers , settings which don·t seem to bear any resemblance , and clusters of flashes . All things i would expect to see if somebody were trying to plug-and-play life experiences ." Feb16_0948"Dreamt that when yu·re trying to line up 100 years of potential peace , it really matters what yu do or did for the past 4 years . Also that we folded time and wound up with 2×Na . ¿Is that how we got Et? ." Feb16_1620"Dreamt i went to an illicit arms intelligence market in the New Phyrexian Quicksilver Sea convention center . If yu can make it sexy , yu can double its betrayal quotient , and if yu make it cute yu can double it again . aw yeah(!) . Aw Yeah(!) ." Feb16_1910"Dreamt that the appropriation of LoHa had reached its limit , that all the fan translations were already drafted , everybody already had their favorite Kana and TaSKT , and that the New Phyrexians were ready to begin putting up inordinate force resisting rather than pay their time debts ." Note: This also occurred ; It was clear by this point what had actually happened . As prophesied by Se , these people had started rendering a two-year long scrape that was only supposed to take a week , and by the time the Twelve-Mile Man had reached the halfway point and was ready to begin rendering using the finished data set , nearly the entire time allotment had already expired , and by the time they were ready to begin pretending , the LoHa had already gotten wise and closed the gate between worlds . Feb16_2355"Dreamt that , the day after writing about Ki and Lo in a story , the two of them came to me for a top secret conversation... even tho i work with Lo at work and Ki was never allowed to land in the first place? . Hey , did yu remember the tiny pink plastic watch that goes off at 23h55? Ka ." Feb17_0818"Dreamt dreams of a machine so diabolical that it could have been pulled directly from the pages of Scott Free . Except that a lot of the machine didn·t work Just Because . i.e. because it had been designed not to . For some reason ." It doesn·t look like the Insurgents paid their time debts after all . 12,000 BC . Skaði screamed at the feeble husband that had been assigned to her by The New and Improved Babel-Brand Calorie Counter that people were "just trying out" . "Ma Dalé, please!" He begged in that way that reminded her of straining water thru a cheese-cloth , "People are scared. Why write such dreadful music? What possesses your heart?" Skaði looked up with murder in her eyes . It was always something wrong with her music . Oh , the people are scared of the strange echoes coming up from the underground . Oh , there aren·t enough factory workers for the New and Improved Mega-Cracker Rig . Oh , the council is afraid the choirs will have an uprising . It was obvious now . The usurper-council had shaken the wrong bough on the tree of power , and somebody had witnessed the intricate details of their unjust ascension . Wait a second , a clone wouldn·t have those data . I took those data to my grave . Feb18_1100"Dreamt that people were hacking trillion-dollar Air Force technology in order to get compromising porn of people while they·re sleeping , of "a group disguised as a TV renovation show" "just checking the seals on the floor windows" , and of being dragged into the undertow for several hours in an attempt to wash the memories out . Have we reached the equivalent of public waterboarding yet? ~ ." Feb18_2207"Dreamt that some people with the intelligence level of high school script kiddies couldn·t figure out that the reason the strings of snippets of memories arranged in long chains in order to invoke dreams aren·t working is because the flux pool dried up , not because the gorgon-phone isn·t working ." I think i can see what happened here . Both sides packed just enough fuel to get to each other , and a third party siphoned the gas half-way thru . Then , when the project imploded , whoever siphoned it tried to pit the two sides against each other . When the grown-ups actually did the debugging , the perp tried to use the stolen gas to escape , yet only wound up digging their tires into the snow . Feb19_0811"Went to bed at 1800 , laid awake an hour , slept for three hours , got up to work exhaustedly , barely got thru 4 AM chores , slept for three hours , too exhausted to move , hit snooze for 45 minutes , woke up 40 minutes later . My sleep schedule , my sense of rest , has been shredded by this hybrid invasion , like clothing gripped in the jaws of a dog that doesn·t know that it isn·t being playful . A dog which invaded the land of Ukraine at the same time that it onierotronically invaded the dreamscape of Lemuria at the same time it invaded the cyberspace of All Terra ." On the front page of the newspaper that day . "Woman Climbs Out of Broken Windshield in Crashed Truck" . Feb20_0807"Dreamt that people were liquidating their stock en masse , and that there were still "charter agents" "just trying to offload these plane tickets" to the ruined Lemurian Contested Zone at the lowest low low prices yu·ve ever seen ." They know that this stuff is being archived for ostensibly ever , right? . Meanwhile , this fued , which tore apart worlds , ruined dreamscapes , toxified the minds of an entire species , and mass-resulted in survival choices that were so blatantly deleterious that they indicated the conditions for insanity , went on so far above the notice of the host species that their lack of involvement was later cited as grounds for recatagorizing the IP generated by the Dream Factory and/or Those That Worked There during that time . It was as if the Queen of the Belugas had declared war on All Water Fowl . Feb21_2347"DATA CORRUPT ERROR Environment did not mount . Try again? Y/N_" Feb22_0413"DATA CORRUPT ERROR Threat context did not actualize . Try again? Y/N_" Feb22_1014"DATA CORRUPT ERROR Texture packet did not render . Try again? Y/N_" Feb22_1653"NO INPUT Check cable and try again" Had the New Phyrexians not been juicing me for data even after they had unplugged me , i would think they had done another "Ahh, the perfect cut" . But it would be nonsensical to run a search thru an input yu had already unplugged , wouldn·t it Ka? . Feb22_0500"Dreamt of long strings of amber beads . Later , of arranging candles in the corners of a cardboard box ." Feb23_0554"Dreamt that somebody finally managed to pull off using a FruitFly-brand Threat Surface to nvigate thru the FruitFly-brand FlyTech© "Hex Gates" to render a FruitFly-brand SubtractiveFly , and it-" https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=602715 "Oh! Perhaps not ." Feb23_2310"Dreamt that i managed to follow a lightning bolt while being pursued by an Absurd Sk8erboi and his cackle of friends , locking myself in to the Furnace Mechanical Room before they could catch me ." Feb24_0914"Dreamt that i was sexually assaulted ." Feb24_2116"Dreamt of long strings of evil villain monologuing arranged in sequences that are supposed to seem interconnected yet are presented without context ." Feb25_0005"Dreamt that i went to sunny Fiddler·s Green , where golden light peeks thru emerald trees... onto the ground , where a recent Frosh Week festival left so much beer and vomit around the treeline that i didn·t want to walk thru it barefoot . And at the end of the walk... Gwandma(!) . Wait , that·s Emma . Fuck Emma ." Feb25_0704"Woke up with a fresh coat of stochastic data arranged in compromising positions . Didn·t write it down . It involved "an Absurd Something-or-other" "just showing off to his friends" . Went back to bed , woke up 3h later to a blank slate . If these renders are made of trash data , represent people that don·t actually sanction being represented , are explicitly made for illegal cracking , and wash off within hours , minutes , or even seconds after quantum collapse , is there actually a benefit to writing them down? Ka . If i stop reaching down into the ice , will they even exist at all? Ka ." Feb25_2354"Dreamt that somebody had never heard the phrase "Land of Long Shadows" and thought that would be grrreat fun to run thru the Annihilator... and promptly vaporized several self-reinforcing circular loop points . Please remember to have all HazMat gear securely in place before exiting the vehicle ." Yu can really get a feel for how these guys are trying their damnedest to make their version of "heavy hand , light save" work . I wonder why they snipe from our shadows , specifically . Feb26_0652"Dreamt of yet another office building with amenities that were so filthy yu wouldn·t want to use them . I·ve been having these dreams for more than five years now . Trying not to step in puddles of dirt water in socked feet . Candy racks of chalky sterilized food pellets , and a squat humanoid blonde in exaggerated pigtails ." Feb27_0555"Slept for 11 straight hours after four weeks of insomnia . Every dream that i had was made out of scrap memories , a flash of this , a sprint of that , a nude scene at an art gallery that was spotless in the overcrowded main hall and filthy at the sides , just like every other dream i·ve had in the past six years . Eleven hours of gorgonian scrap dreams , and not a long-shadow in the whole pack ." CRITICAL ERROR System Failure ALERT Lemurian Aura Roads are Already Closed ALERT ALERT Lemurian Aura Roads are Already Closed ALERT As a result of our people closing the gate at the start of January and keeping it tightly locked until conditions drastically change , if some things don·t change really really quickly at the systemic level , necessarily , anything the Wizards come up with for Eldrane will be outdated memories and personal conjecture . They have no way at this point of tapping the actual Lemuria . When i arrived here in Thunder Bay on the Material Plane , it was very easy for other Kyrie to manifest around me . They brought me to the Abbey , we had a banquet dinner together . When i arrived here , the Four of Us was readily and rapidly compiling , using assets that were already rendered on site . The angels are terrified of being torn to shreds by whatever the fuck is stalking between the dreams , and only the bravest of us have dared reveal ourselves . Krasi , as soon as we had her up and walking again , took the kids to a safe distance . The Door is Locked . 2023 Spring Anime Coer https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WvTQ7_1YKMU 0% Lemurian Content ✅;; In Summary , So , first there was some sort of state or condition where people felt trapped or mired down . To combat this , a Phyrexian HeartStone was released to a Terran world . We had to be ever so careful to make sure what we had was authentic . A real live Chiroptera . You can·t even find those on this side of the galaxy anymore . Everybody frantically went for the body . They wrote stories about Kwisatz this and Galactic Hero that . How they would move the immovable stone and utilize it to rule the galaxy . There was one HeartStone and a dozen or more people who were all at a razor·s edge , who crafted self-destruct plans if they didn·t get it . Necessarily , a dozen minus one doomsday scenarios all go off . The trick then was making it look like there was no stone , no contest , no Queen whose hand had been so ravenously sought . With an equal amount of force she encrypted her own things , leaving behind a scarce few artifacts , and pole-vaulting into the Land of Long Shadows .
