Guardian of Night
“It was the DDCM way to never miss an opportunity to show who was really in charge.
V-CENT, Vessel Central Processing, was the computational heart of the craft. The memory banks of the two vessel computers (every Sporata craft had a bicameral computational system) lined all the bulkheads of the chamber. They were the bulkheads here, Ricimer knew. They were cellular machines, engineered by a race even older than the Guardians and conquered only after a long war. The bulkheads were a grayish white..., and they twinkled with ethereal flashes of subatomic particles created and destroyed, quantum realities called into brief existence—realities that overlapped, canceled, or reinforced one another, as a billion-billion possible worlds were sifted through the computer processors every vitia, like so many grains of sand. The results were projected upon a table which had a top at chest height. It was designed to be looked down upon from a standing position.
Ricimer leaned against the projection table, took a deep breath of craft atmosphere.MoreLess
