ℭ𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔞𝔯 𝔇𝔴𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔢𝔯𝔰 Is the name we give these people, though there are as many names given as there are societies that we encounter. In the adopted language of my planet, we refer to them all this way with no ill intent. It’s just convenient, I guess, a vestige of our tribal history. When you are dealing with large populations you tend to generalize. It is our job to get the finest details.

Historical Background

Naval Station Norfolk, established in 1917 in the wake of World War I, has long served as the cornerstone of the U.S. Navy’s operations. Strategically located on the Elizabeth River in Virginia, this base has evolved over almost two centuries to become the largest naval installation in the world.

Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, it played a pivotal role in numerous conflicts, from World War II onto The Last World War.

By the mid-21st century, the base had begun the transition from traditional naval operations to becoming a hub for space-faring vessels of all types.

CARPET WARS

In the shaggy trenches of grandma’s living room, the battle rages on. Plastic green soldiers, forever locked in mid-salute or sniper pose, square off against their most fearsome adversary yet—a smug housecat with warlord eyes and claws to match.

Flanked by a mutant feline commander in a helmet and haunted by the eerie glow of a CRT television broadcasting feline propaganda, the brave injection-molded warriors wage a hopeless campaign across antique couches and Persian rugs.

This isn’t playtime. This is war—pet vs. platoon, whiskers vs. warfare, in a kitsch-bombed battlefield where every velvet cushion is a stronghold and every coffee table a hill to die on.

Creatures Underfoot dwell in the molten margins of reason — radiant, wriggling things that pulse with color theory and cosmic nonsense. They bloom from spores of sound, coil around vibrations, and whisper to your soles in a language made of shimmer. Beneath every reflective puddle, every rainbow-spit swamp, they gather in parliaments of paradox: some shaped like flowers that walk, others like thoughts that bite. Though microscopic in myth, they loom large in hallucination. Step lightly, dream brightly — the soil thinks back

Enter Kaiber

4-2023 A few early experimentations, now realizing that I have tons of musical clips that I made over the years. May as well use them for something. I still, toyed with some plain vanilla public domain music before that revelation hit me.

It would only be a few months later that tools like Suno and Udio put songcrafting in the hands of anyone. And then AI video, it is all pretty awesome
