Detrimental Kinship?
As a Space-Time Transient I share the responsibility of facilitating any given cine-molecular invasion with my symbiotic familiar the Temporary Autonomous Clone. Together we swap notes on amplifying and overloading psychic capacitors in the fleshy minds of mammals. Some would say that the Temporary Autonomous Clone (TAC) is, at best, a mildly utopic spin off of the Deros.
The Deros, as any student of the Weird knows well enough, is a “detrimental robot,” mutated into a mean-spirited android by way of radiated e-waste left in the Hollow Earth many millennia ago by negligent Titans and, or, Atlans. Deros operated within their inner-Earth hovel, accumulating attention capital within their malevolent social networks by sabotaging and disappearing people, places and things on Earth’s surface.
Gremlins, and their penchant for interfering with transportation and transmission tech are another popular referent in conversations with self-proclaimed know-it-alls on the subject of all things wily, weird, wired and potentially ficto-quizzical.
Such demarcations of kinship amongst Deros, gremlins and the TAC are valid, but also fairly linear and, frankly, weak in the face of the hideous heterogeneity paramount in a Space-Time Transient and, or, Temporary Autonomous Clone’s day-to-day! The monstrous perplexities and rich ambiguity of all of the discussed monstrosities are prone to being reduced to emblematic echoes.
Engineers, care-takers and otherwise damned denizens of the researcher persuasion are close at hand should any TAC crash hard. Referred to in some circles as a “black box,” the meta-data extracted from within the pineal cache is useful for analyzing experience design minutiae.
The pineal cache devices are carefully engineered and confusingly constructed to withstand the external forces, including ironically enough, next generation Deros, gremlins and, or, spambots! Contrary to the “black box” reference, the exterior of the pineal cache is coated with razzle-dazzle paint, echoing the garments of the Space-Time Transient. Trained specialists are not foiled by the razzle-dazzle and quickly lock on and retrieve contents. Schema, charts and other details on where/when to shift patterns, re-wire or locate psychotronic impulses emergent in previous video mixes are plentiful in any given cache. Evidenced, for the curious, in this layout out that was retrieved circa December 2003:
