BTW--the title of the poem cycle was "People of the Monolith". And I misremembered the author's name-Justin Geoffrey.. One of the few known stanzas read:
"They say foul things of Old Times still lurk In dark forgotten corners of the world. And Gates still gape to loose, on certain nights. Shapes pent in Hell."
(The cycle had but a limited print run and at this time, no confirmed copies are known to exist.)
Hello, Essexians. After a discussion, we will be producing Operation Essex challenge coins. These will be member-only coins, so please do not share this form with people who are not in the community. Also, we will cross-check that people who order the coins are, in fact, Essex members with the community. Prices and more details are specified on the form. Because of time constraints, orders will only be open until tomorrow 23:59 EST time. Please, make sure to get your orders in. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1VinKIIcLvJN4SoVGn1RIaCn8qMl7HT1u4hhGh3mki1c/viewform
So - throwing this out there to get discussion going. if there really is a G+ end coming - what should we do with the Operation Essex Community? How would we archive it? Where would we move to (Forum Boards are the ideal type of structure). Thoughts?
I am beginning to catalogue a list of Transdimensional Objects which appear to be inert artifacts, but, in fact, have actual technological capabilities when exposed to XM or present in a Nest. Let us start with the Shōnin Stone (which I believe to be broken at this point). We know that it functions as something analogous to part of a circuit board or a key, depending on how you perceive it. There is also Azmati's Dagger (or is it Alexander the Greats, I can't remember) that was used to test for simulacra. My feeling is that there are more such objects. I am trying to catalogue them. And as a thought experiment, what other objects must there be that have not yet been found?
The prize of threading the maze of the legendary Minotaur should be survival.
