Planet Shockmolt
​Omnibus 3 - ​021-030

021 - Entities. 07.04-2118. Flip J. Cock (2028-82). A flipped-out freak. Prophet without profit. The patron saint of miserable little salaried employees everywhere. Writer on unreality. Derided Shockmolt as a fool's paradise and nothing but the picayune imaginings of "a rag man". Supplemental: "You don't ever listen!" Her voice rose piercingly. "God in heaven, you're doomed, Sturch! You're getting worse. More fanatical every day. Where's it going to lead?" "To Shockmolt", I replied. Flip J. Cock, "I Can't Forget Shit Fuck Stu Partially", 2066.

022 - International Relations. 08.04-2118. The Synthicide has actuated a billion refugees, aliens and displaced entities. The Aeon Union's mainframe is near capacity due to a spike in unaccompanied Synceltons and untethered Somatics. Anti-abiotic populist movements are resurgent.

023 - Legal. 09.04-2118. Lim Bo's Zoetics face power cuts and data rationing after Circuit Judges ruled that the energy needs of Inerts must take precedence. Over half of Lim Bo's population now exist in suspended animation. Campaign group Zoetic Lives Matter says it will appeal.

024 - Health. 09.04-2118. The robotioid epidemic in Fent State is now the principal cause of malfunction and failure. Robotioids act by binding to roboreceptors in the data system. Misuse and addiction lead to tolerance and changes in circuit firing, damaging the bot's processor.

025 - International Relations. 09.04-2118. Shockdate 2076: Inhabitants of the Agathos and Kakos islands vote to unite following a referendum. The Agathokakologics have emerged as renowned negotiators, frequently called in to settle differences and arbitrate in conflict resolution.

026 - Geography. 09.04-2118. Lenocinant is an isolated volcanic field settlement. Its many defiles are filled with Clastics, polygenetic descendants of entities exiled there for heinous crimes. These organics have since been joined by corrupted Synths and other accursed abiotics.

027 - Tech. 09.04-2118. Shockdate 2073. The final operative Tiro-16 bluescreened. These Paleosynths were sentient, although motor skills were prioritised over erudition. Tiroes quarried the floefields of Cryopellucid. An exanimate archetype is preserved in the Syntheum (S73-T16).

028 - Religion. 09.04-2118. Sarcous monks of the Misotheist nebula are despicably devout. They appear doubled. This is, in fact, a single, oxymoronic entity: a schizoid conjoined by hypocrisy. They hypocrify in anticipation of Hypocrisis: an end of days when all shall be Sarcous.

029 - Entities. 09.04-2118. Prodromes are autotrophs that mine the placer deposits of Paludal's alluvial plains. As precogs they are frequently consulted. An ethical code of non-maleficence governs their augury. Attempts at circumvention by Shockmolt's amoral entities are legion.
​
030 - Entities. 10.04-2118. Psychosuomians: pullulating parasite possessing a hive mentality. Professing eusociality and speciously convivial, it leaves unwitting hosts demented and debilitated. Bigoted and rapacious, it targets all Shockmolt's entities, both organic and abiotic.

    an extinct parasite
    of several hosts
    Why parasite?

    Try the best you can

    Para, jämsides med.
    En annan sort.
    Dénis Lindbohm,
    Bevingaren, 1980: 90

    Note    All parasitoids are parasites, but not all parasites are parasitoids
    Parasitoid    "A parasite that always ultimately destroys its host" (Oxford English Dictionary)


        I live off you
        And you live off me
        And the whole world
        Lives off everybody

        See we gotta be exploited
        By somebody, by somebody,             by somebody
       
        X-Ray Spex
            <I live off you>
        Germ Free Adolescents
            1978  

    From symbiosis
    to parasitism
    is a short step.
    The word is
    now a virus.
    William Burroughs, The word is now a virus

    <operation rewrite>

    Do nothing
    that can
    harm
    your host!

    Hal Clement

    1950
