![]() ![]() Many people, especially those who are disturbed by the great progress we have made, have set out to settle an entire new continent to the east. Meanwhile, the people of Freeland seek out new, safer frontiers. I actually haven't established networks in these cities yet, since their Intrigue level is high enough to steal technology already, and I wanted to pounce on that before they managed to decrease it. To that end, intelligence agents are attempting to maintain our edge against foreign powers. Still, we must be vigilant against misguided people who would seek to destroy what we have built. Once the process is safe enough, humanity will regain their uniqueness. Our sorrow over this tragedy is great, though it is lessened by the knowledge that our Disciples are out there, recovering the bodies for eventual upload. They maintain their edge with minor genetic alterations and very large weapons.įinally, the third major ideology is "Supremacy", named after Freeland's early augmented religious movement. She has made similar condemnations of followers of Harmony. She says that our implants have made us unfeeling machines, not to mention the actual "unfeeling" machines we have created, AIs.

All thinking beings, organic or "artificial", are welcome.įrom the top of our ladder of consciousness, we look down and see a world torn apart by strife. Here, we are one step closer to the realm of Ideas. Welcome to the Stupa of the Stars, a land of pure thought and emotion, the current apex of human development. Hutama himself has now undergone extensive augmentation, in a show of solidarity with the Supremacy movement, which has grown so much that it is now considered normal to include a standard suite for newborn children.īut, like the great Boddhisatvas of old, he has elected to stay in his flesh and guide others toward the Nirvana we have achieved.
