Ankel’s Speech, 2040, excerpt from the Shellworld Foundational Address, later classified.
“DEAR BELOVED FIRST GENERATION OF STARMIGRANDS,
I speak to you not as a ruler, nor as a prophet, but as one who has remained awake while history rehearsed itself.
-Freakambers replied that those who say this always rule.
Herein lie the reasons behind the decisions leading to the first uplifting of nations into one, including all religions, and the agreement regarding the slicing of Earth’s crust and the immediate future of humanity.
Unity was not chosen because it was noble.
It was chosen because fragmentation had already begun, socially, ecologically, psychologically. We merely aligned governance with reality.
-Freakambers spoke back, Reality does not ask to be aligned.
During recent intense solar storms, charged particles bombarded Earth’s magnetic field, propelling high-energy matter into the magnetotail of the magnetosphere, which then returned to the planet as geomagnetic storms affecting us all. You felt this as fear. We measured it as pattern.
-Freakambers smeared, Fear remembers what numbers forget.
Through second-order readings of these phenomena, Shellworld analysts declared with alarm that the cause was not isolated solar activity, but the psychospheric influence of the dwarf planet Eris and its satellite Dysnomia, whose resonance with Earth has intensified over decades.
History, it became clear, was not linear. It was cyclical and increasingly compressed.
-Freakambers graffitied Cycles that break when listened to.
The doctrine exonerated Pluto and retroactively attributed Eris’s influence to the great wars of the twentieth century, as well as to the persistent conflicts that followed.
This was not blame. It was diagnosis.
-Freakambers carved on top, Diagnosis becomes sentence when no cure is offered.
According to psycho-astrological modeling, Eris’s position in Aries was declared the primary driver of climatic instability, seismic activation, and core overheating, not human intervention alone.
We did not deny human responsibility. We contextualized it.
-Freakambers Context is where guilt goes to dissolve.
Eris will depart Aries in five years, in 2045, entering Taurus. Maintaining Earth in its present form until then is precarious and futile. The era will change regardless of our consent.
-So will the children, Freakambers simply replied.
Our heightened consciousness demanded the replacement of an uncontrollable global war with a deliberate act of transformation. Fate would not be endured. It would be administered.
-Freakambers opposed administration is violence without blood.
A divided, apathetic people, one that forgets language, history, roots, is doomed.
United in discord, we would remember through friction, rebuild language from fragments, and plant roots designed to flourish in absence.
-Freakambers Roots do not ask permission.
We would not fear rupture. We would choose it.
Thus Shellworld selected the carving of Earth’s surface using lunar telecontrol, slicing the crust into segments and placing them, via controlled explosions, into orbit around the revealed core.
This was not destruction. It was relocation.
-Freakambers Homes are not objects.
Surplus energy, attributed to Eris’s destructive radiance, would be channeled into the exposed core, igniting a new artificial sun. A nucleocentric network. A stable future.
-Freakambers Stars are not tools.
A five-year simulation was mandated. Time would count backward.
From the first First of the first Hour of the first Day of the first Year Post-Slices, we would baptize ourselves inhuman and name ourselves Whomans.
-Freakambers names survive bodies.
Humanity would divide into Fishers of the void and Earth Antitects, builders, maintainers, cultivators of homeostasis.
The few of the end would become the good of the beginning.
Those who refused organization could become pirates.
For those who rejected even this, absolutely nothing was foreseen.
-Nothing is still something. Freakambers.
