Godliness in Stone

  Scene 1 It smells like… time down here. Not just damp earth or rot, but something older. A primal scent that’s been waiting in the dark for a millennium. I’m recording this at the bottom of the scar somewhere in the anomaly. In my mind, it's called the Necropolis Gully . My helmet is trying to map it—casting these sterile, digital grids over the moss and the stone—but the data doesn’t make sense. It’s glitching. It’s shuddering against the reality of this place. I don't know why I'm here, looking at ruins. Just... debris. But in the ruins, I found the ghosts of a future that never happened. I was walking over shards of polymerised memories . This was once a city.  It was meant to be the heart of a new world that... simply stopped. It wasn't an engineering failure. It was a failure of existence. Holding that slate, I felt this... weight. The grief of the architect. The "wounds of unbuilt dreams." I realised then that this isn't a graveyard for people. It’...

The Progress

The Progess - Nu Jazz by JJFBbennett

Intro:
Under the canopy of night, the mega city breathes.  
Its streets, bathed in artificial glow, stretch out, endless.  
Bridges and towers, silent sentinels, stand tall against the darkness,  
Their lights are a beacon for our weary souls wandering beneath them.

Verse 1:
In this city of dreams and realities intertwined.  
Cars drift slowly, each a microcosm, each a solitary journey.  
The horizon promises more of the same. 
A continuation of the unknown, the unseen, the unspoken.

Chorus 1:
And the lights, they tell stories,  
But from afar, they blend into a tapestry of light and shadow.  
A cold, distant beauty,  
Reminding us of the vastness we pretend to understand.
The vastness.
Cold and beautiful.

Verse 2:
The city hums, a melody of human achievement,  
Yet within its pulse, the silent voices go unheard.  
Each window, a world, each light, a fragment of a life,  
Together, they form a pattern.  
A design too grand to decipher.

Chorus 2:
And the lights—they tell stories,  
But from afar, they blend into a tapestry of light and shadow.  
A cold, distant beauty,  
Reminding us of the vastness we pretend to understand.
The vastness.
Cold and beautiful.

Bridge:
In the face of such immensity,  
We embrace the absurdity,  
Find comfort in the struggle,  
And push forward, constantly pushing,  
In this Sisyphean dance with life.

Outro:
Under the canopy of night, Melbourne breathes.  
Its lights, its shadows, its stories.  
They whisper of the unknown,  
Of the endless journey we all undertake,  
And the beauty we find in the struggle,  
As we continue to reach, to strive, to live.
In the vastness.
Cold and beautiful.
In the vastness.
Cold and beautiful.

Outro:
Under the canopy of night, Melbourne breathes.  
Its lights, its shadows, its stories.  
They whisper of the unknown,  
Of the endless journey we all undertake,  
And the beauty we find in the struggle,  
As we continue to reach, to strive, to live.
In the vastness.
Cold and beautiful.
In the vastness.
Cold and beautiful.

The Kepler Kiss

  The Kepler Kiss A Cosmic Coffee Experience Imagine stepping into a bustling café aboard a deep-space station, where the air hums with the gentle vibrations of starships docking and departing. As you make your way to the counter, your senses are immediately captivated by the aroma of a futuristic beverage—the Keplar Kiss .  The Visual Delight Served in a matte-black ceramic mug , the Kepler Kiss is a sight to behold. Its rim glows with a turquoise light, casting an ethereal glow that accentuates the coffee's deep, cosmic allure. The drink itself is a masterpiece, with its surface shimmering like a miniature nebula . Swirls of indigo and violet dance gracefully, interspersed with flecks that resemble distant stars. As you gaze into this cosmic concoction, wisps of steam rise elegantly, forming spiral patterns that subtly mimic constellations. An Atmosphere of Retro-Industrial Sci-Fi The café is a harmonious blend of retro-industrial textures and high-tech sci-fi ambience. The...

Podcast 03 Psychological Anchors

  Psychological Anchors The characters thus embody the classic dichotomy between logic/control (BK) and emotion/instinct (JB), a tension that becomes central to their survival when their advanced technology fails and they are forced into the realm of the psychological (the anomaly). They represent two vital, yet opposing, parts of the human response to existential chaos : the attempt to catalogue and talk through the terror, versus the primal urge to act and accept the turmoil. Psychological Anchors video What's the real story behind space tourists BK and JB ? Their identities are in constant flux—changing race, age, and form. Host Alex and guest Dr. V dive deep into this "multiverse" concept to explore the two constant, warring psychologies at the heart of the Subi crew : BK: The ultimate planner, driven by logic and an internal narrator .  JB: The ultimate instinct, driven by raw, non-verbal emotion and anxiety . How does a logical mind handle " Paraknowing "—...

Necropolis Gully

  Necropolis Gully Ancient Fertility  The only sound in the deep quiet of the crevice was the crunch of my boots on the debris-strewn ground. Towering stone walls, draped in vibrant green moss , rose on either side, making me feel like an intruder in a forgotten tomb . My matte-black suit , a product of a future this place could never have imagined, felt profane against the ancient rock . Then I saw it: a weathered, silent figure standing in the path. It was a statue of a woman , carved from the same stone as the gully but shaped with clear intent. Moss crept up its base and clung to its form like a second skin. This impossible artifact, an architectural anomaly in this raw, natural fissure , stopped me. My steady, determined posture belied the storm of questions raging in my mind. The statue stared forward with blank, unseeing eyes, a silent witness to a history I had just stumbled into. My mission was to find my crew, but this place, this silent, stone woman , was a new, un...
