Honemane K05(7233-7804) MPA artist-engineer |
Cloned in the Gyros habitat (Djed Sigma band) by the Tarendra clade
7233 and downloaded with internal alife demons to promote artistic
development, Honemane K05 rebelled against the strong
bilatism of his home-culture and
began to learn the arts of
metal-shaping and ancient engineering. After 7304 he produced a long
series of sculpture-machines in traditional styles, embodying the ideas
of Lesser Machtet in
the form of functional systems.
In 7549, following the gradual decay of Lesser Machtet, Honemane K05
apparently underwent a personal crisis and began to attempt memetic
subversion. E retreated from public life to the orthogonal bands of
Djed, where he and a handful of
supporters (the Technobylatic
Collapsers) began to develop tools for a resurgence in interest in
Machtet. In order to promote the tenets of his art he constructed a
virus infecting common silsur materials. The virus manipulated the
materials to emit subliminal signals in the form of modulated silence,
spreading using acoustic signals.
The subversion virus spread far and wide both in Djed and connected
systems. The subliminals did have a pro-Machtet effect, but due to an
oversight or possibly sabotage from one of the supporters (Grahile On
Leo, later a self-proclaimed devastationist) it also produced brain
wave
entrainment and depressive symptoms in many humanoids. When the virus
was discovered it entered an overt mode, amplifying its effects
seriously and causing widespread havoc. The authorities were forced to
release silsur-eating blue goo, causing major economic and aesthetic
devastation.
Upon hearing the news, Honemane K05 immediately set his escape plan
into
action and accelerated out-system using a small ship. It was nearly
caught by the Djed control systems, but managed to escape thanks to an
unexpected cache of antimatter. The artist fled to Second Son, a system
130 lightyears away, likely believing that he could hide in the chaos
of
the unlinked barbaric system. Unfortunately for him Second Son had both
been united and linked to Revoltpri
in the meantime, and he found
himself surrounded by enforcement cruisers upon arrival. Rather than
stand trial he chose to deactivate the antimatter containment and
vanished in a cloud of ambiplasma.
