Semblance of Eternity |
In the year 10404 AT, the following message was posted to over 50,000,000 forums across the Known Net, including many popular baseline news sources, cosmology and xenosophontology boards, and various other easily accessible locales across cyberspace.
As could be expected, this message sparked a lot of controversy, not only about its content, but also its legitimacy. Other supposed TRHN spokesbeings have come forth, some claiming it to be entirely fake, and others vouching for it. In 10409 AT, however, a theophanic hyperfemtoavatar claiming to be of Omegarapture himself settled the dispute ... with an announcement that (so it is suggested) no one under SI:5 could possibly grasp. So perhaps the archailects know the truth of the matter, but they are, as always, quite uninformative on such matters.
A couple of conjectures (among the many millions that have been suggested):
1) Omegarapture has been memed by some other being and is in the process of being subverted. This hypothetical other being set up the thought and memory structure in the picotic computronium node E captured and 'interpreted', in the process assimilating certain detrimental memes. If this came from the distance cited, Omegarapture may become a remote pawn of ancient intellects. However, it is more likely (from historical surveys) that such a device was generated intentionally within this galaxy. How and why this was done is uncertain at this time.
2) Omegarapture is working at meming a large portion of the ordinary sapient community with their unsubstantiated claims with regards to this mysterious computronium node, as ephemeral as the Ark of the Covenant, the semimythical Borde Backups, or the legendary Last Message of Verifex. Eir goals are not apparent at this time - watch this space for more information as it becomes available...
In addition, the following prologue is now sometimes found attached but has been shown to be derive from a different source to the original announcement:
Godwatchers, beware. The Azimuth Collective, The PanCraeans, the Quetzalcouatlichons plus some several dozen other enlightenment/revelation cults point to this being "the sign" of The Hidden Gnostic Order, the evidence awaited for millennia, that finally the transgalactic messenger would come bringing undeniable evidence in a code only accessible to the greatest (and only when the Greatest would be able to appreciate it) of a Galaxy-Spanning Net of Sapients (-Sapience). The Great Old Ones Are Coming, let it be known!
