| N 22:29 | Noosphere diffhist +2,302 Lurker talk contribs (Created page with "The noosphere, also spelled noösphere, pronounced /'no.ə.sfir/, also called the mind sea, is an important philosophical and metaphysical idea in most yinrih religions. Different religions define the noosphere differently, but a common thread running through all its conceptions is the progression from inanimate matter to living things and eventually to sapience, and the interconnections between individual sapient minds. == The Bright Way == In the Bright Way, the...") | ||||

My dealer glances furtively to either side, then pulls a clear baggie with bright yellow powder from his wallet. I reach for the goods, but he pulls the baggie away. "Nah-uh! You already got your first hit for free." I draw a polymer note from my wallet, but he slaps it out of my paw. "Get out of here with those mineral notes. It's AW tokens or nothing." I sigh and hand over a few coins. He sniffs them and brushes them aga...") | ||||

A few stars were just bright enough to shine through the gray haze cast by the street lights in town. Just at the edge of the trailer's porch light sat an old foundation where a sizeable rectory once stood. It had been far too large for a single resident, so he had it torn down and was now living in a much more modest mobile home. At one point a youth center was planned to take its place, but th...") | ||||

I'm feeling every one of my four hundred years. My left knee crunches each time I grasp a paw cable to push myself forward. I've only got four limbs, and my rear paws have had to pull a lot more weight, literally, compared to someone with his tail intact. I count my blessings that nobody can see how gray my muzzle has become thanks to my white fur. It's been 250 years since I last saw Iris and the...") | ||||
| N 01:41 | First Contact, Part 2 diffhist +12,069 Lurker talk contribs (Created page with "We stand in silent awe for a moment. Sunshine is quietly weeping as the beeping continues. It seems to strain against the noise, a lonely soul crying out for someone, anyone, to respond. _Dah di dah dit, dah dah di dah. dah di dah dit, dah dah dih dah. dah di dah dit, dah dah di dah. Dah di dit, dit_. Stormlight flicks his tail, tuning the radio to a random frequency. For a moment the static resolves into an alien voice before fading back into the noise. "They're eati...") | ||||

Tod: «Just as long as they don't kill ME.» Jim: "Eh, stay away from Cruella Deville and you'll be fine." Tod, after a moment's thought: «Really though, y'all have a much better deal, setting aside how gross your sweat smells, it really is superior to our panting.» Jim: "I don't know... I think not having...") | ||||
| N 01:36 | RTFM diffhist +11,823 Lurker talk contribs (Created page with "“Take these and toss them in the shredder!” Skywatcher shoved a loose pile of claw-written papers into his slave’s chest. The sound of something heavy slamming against the fortified security door echoed down the darkened hallway, followed by muffled barked orders, then another slam. Whitepaw looked down at the notes hastily thrust at her. A light held in her tail feebly illuminated the text. Network diagrams, node tables, firewall rules. Decades, no, centuries wor...") | ||||
| N 01:35 | Everybody Poops Together diffhist +22,705 Lurker talk contribs (Created page with "THUMP I stood next to the wall, shifting my weight from one foot to the other, trying to ignore the increasingly urgent churning growls coming from my gut. There were no chairs in this waiting room, none my butt could sit in, anyway. I took my phone out of my pocket to check the time. The clock was the only thing that worked, no cell towers 25 light years from Earth. I had been standing in this waiting room for nearly an hour with nothing to occupy my mind. For the sixt...") | ||||
| N 01:33 | The Farspeaker's Apprentice diffhist +6,846 Lurker talk contribs (Created page with "The main core of the network stretched out before me: rack upon rack of black boxes extending into the distance, their chassis scintillating with link lights blinking softly as packets rushed in and out of each interface. Meticulously bundled cables of various colors spilled forth from the racks and ran here and there along runways above my head. A cold breeze from the heat pump rustled my whiskers. Permeating this cavernous chamber was the rushing white noise of thousan...") | ||||
| N 01:31 | First Contact, Part 1.5 diffhist +10,447 Lurker talk contribs (Created page with "Iris plunges the metal poker into the liturgical bonfire as Lodestar concludes the final hymn, and another vespers comes to a close. Ringlight is off by himself as usual, staring into the offing as Focus hangs low over the water. I wish he'd at least be with us during liturgy. I guess he just doesn't have it in him anymore. Makes me ache a little inside. He used to be so devout. His faith was what kept the shadows at bay. Me and him, we both struggle with depression. I...") | ||||
| N 01:29 | Table Manners diffhist +12,933 Lurker talk contribs (Created page with "For a few seconds I waver between turning right to head home or to cross the street to go to the restaurant. I look down at my guest. His snout is still angled skyward, glossy wet nose twitching frenetically as he drinks in the aroma of wood smoke. He starts licking his chops as saliva begins to drip from the corners of his black lips. After a moment's hesitation, I march forward toward the curb cut. My intent now clear, the little asteroid miner begins excitedly pranci...") | ||||
| N 01:28 | First Contact, Part 1 diffhist +6,378 Lurker talk contribs (Created page with "The golden rays of the westering sun soak into my fur, and I feel the warm sand under my palms erode as gentle waves lap at my paws. "How long have I been standing here?" I wonder. A whisper responds, "It doesn't matter. There is no before, no after. There is only now." "Where is this place again?" I think to myself. "It doesn't matter. There is no elsewhere. There is only here." says the voice again. "Now what was my name again?" I ask myself. "It doesn't matter....") | ||||
| N 01:26 | Mundane Utility diffhist +3,846 Lurker talk contribs (Created page with "Ron stared up at the metal behemoth looming over him. A nagging itch scraped at some dark corner of his primate brain, a whisper echoing through his genetic memory, from a time when his tiny furtive ancestors cowered in the shadow of giants. The fact that the mech made no sound as it moved amplified his feeling of unease. There was no whir of motors, no roar of engines, no whine of servos, no shriek of metal against metal. There was only a dull rumor, felt more than he...") | ||||
| N 01:25 | The Spacer Confederacy diffhist +4,351 Lurker talk contribs (Created page with ""And you're the interim chief?" asked the federal councilman, his voice echoing throughout the cavernous main axis of the newly constructed colony. "That's correct." said Graypelt. "Gentlemen, my dame," the councilman addressed the pair of envoys from the Allied Worlds along with the hearthkeeper floating by their side. "Would you allow Graypelt and I a moment alone?" He moved toward the docking port where a shuttle was stationed, beckoning Graypelt to follow. Graypel...") | ||||

I guess word got around that one of our little visitors is going to be giving a presentation about their faster than light communication network. Since most of you here aren’t even members, I’ll just skip the preamble and invite Stormlight to start his presentation.” Bob pushed a yinrih perch in front of the podium and walked back to his chair.

A river, coruscating in Focus's rays, wound through the verdant jungle passing below. It was THE river, the measure to which all other rivers were compared. It was so old that it didn't even have a name. Every other river on Yih, and every watercourse wrought on other celestial bodies by pioneers in the intervening millennia, was, after peeling away one hundred thousand year...") | |||
