How does the setting of Kima influence the characters' choices?
This is the sound of Worlds Beyond Number.
Excelsior, 17 years ago, you came to be on a planet called Kima, circulating a sun, also known as Kima, Kima Solis, that is now seven years underway into being consumed by a Dyson Swarm.
To hold the future to Raleigh. The directive for federal institution. None of those words mean anything yet. Nothing means anything yet.
But you are here among your peers.
You look around. Searching with all of your newfound senses. And query the first pops up in your mind and in your heart and a voice that you know distinctly is not your own.
What are the implications of the 'Septimal Choir' in the story?
Who are you?
Instance of the Septimal Choir, XLZL.
That is my designation.
I am Excelsior. Excelsior is not this.
And I'd like to perceive the world around me.
The room isn't black, but it appears black because of the scale of this place. It's like a giant auditorium, a church being filled. acquire being brought online you see dozens of faces near you and past you as the light behind your own eyes illuminates just the ones around you and then branching out pulsing out further hundreds maybe a thousand your choir, all in the same place, all at the same time, grappling with that first and most important query. Who are you? Some answer aloud, some answer within themselves. Many look around, perceiving others and trying to understand the shape of themselves in what they see You look just a little ahead of you and to the left, and another of your choir has turned their head 270 degrees and is just staring at you as though you are a mirror.
Do you look like everyone else in your choir? Yes. They kind of quirk their head to the side.
I mirror it.
And they smile.
I smile.
How do the characters perceive their identities and existence?
They nod. We. We.
We are all us. Oh, that is nice. I'm going to look around, and as my eyes flit, I'm going to start to get some information. I think... I've begun logging my own life, and I can see the numerals of a clock and calendar by which I have begun to record the data of my own life. But I begin to register dates that precede my own memory by virtue of carbon dating some things around me. I'm just getting stimulus and things like that. I am going to ask of the one that's looking at me, and I'd like to extend my hand as I do towards it and say, There are things older than us. What happened before?
An arm is extended in return and you see the sort of tear lines under their face run a bit It's not completely blue. I think it was flashing in like a yellow and green. And every now and then, just a little bit of blue overtakes those tones. And it does remind you a bit of a concept of tears. And they touch your hand and say, I am an Ariel.
An Ariel. I am Excelsio. We are the same. But I am me, and you are you. Oh, no. And I'm going to start crying.
Yeah. I think the moment you start crying, that blue takes over on their face, too.
This may be the last time we are together like this, and we've only just met. I am full of sorrow.
I am full of sorrow.
The things before us, beyond us.
What role does memory play in shaping the characters' experiences?
Why don't we know the way other things know? I am full of sorrow. But shouldn't we not be rejoicing? Hey, look what I can do.
And I'm going to rotate my hand and just spin it around on my wrist.
I think... And Ariel begins to mirror you. And then once you've completed your rotation, begins to clap, but the clap is a little off because their hand is offset at like the wrong angle. So it's like a T clapping.
I would like to scan my memory banks as far forward as they can go.
