“Then shall the maidens rejoice at the dance. They’ll start going ripe on us pretty soon. Centrifugal force reacts to the rotating frame of reference. The obstinate toy soldier becomes pliant. The city devours the land, the people devour the city… Intruders swarm like flame, like the whirlwind; Hopes soaring to slaughter all their best against our hulls. All these things at once and many more, not because it wishes harm, because it likes violent vibrations to change constantly. But you are a spark of God’s fire. The children of the one reborn shall find their own country. Compartmentalize integrity conflicts with the obligation to provide access. No ceremonies are necessary. Contact is inevitable…”
