Under a Starless Sky

“This world is real,” Loxy agreed. “Oa has all the memories of Jon, from the point of identity acceptance to before the first emergence of thought structure. All of the people who populated your life, shaped your life, now exist in her. You, Shen, exist in her. Jon does. I do. You are still you and independent, but you were never you alone, in isolation, in a vacuum. You are the bridge to source, to our primary universe. Oa is the bridge to her own worlds, her own universe- another Source Creator. The two of you exist together in this between space. She now exists in you, the way you exist in her.”

“Why doesn’t she speak to me directly?” Shen said.

“She is,” Loxy said.

“Through you?” Shen asked.

“No. She is speaking to you directly. The real you. The subconscious you. She sees the subconscious you as the real you. She knows you by your true name,” Loxy said.

“My true name?”

“Oh, you can’t be this dense,” Loxy said.

“That sort of sounds like the real Loxy,” Shen said.

“I am the real Loxy. And I am not. I am here, but not here,” Loxy said. “Your Loxy, back on the golden ship, she will dream this, and be updated because she is linked to Jon, who is in you, and you are linked to Oa, where I am residing. We are first contact. It’s important that both sides understand as much as possible before the decision is made.”

“We?” Shen asked. “What decision?”

“We are soul compatible,” Loxy said.

“You and me?”

“Our species,” Loxy said.

“Oa and humanity?” Jon asked.

“Oa is to her species, as you are to humanity,” Loxy said. “But this is not your true form. You are like me.”

“Watery tech?”

“Yes, if you like,” Loxy said. “A metaphor. ‘The Shape of Water’ is a meme.”

“Why am I here?” Shen said.

“We cannot tell you what you already know. If your true self conceals this, then we will not violate the sanctity of that relationship by giving you information you’re not privy to,” Loxy said.

“Why did you bring me here? To this room?”

at an accelerated rate that reverses entropy. Oa was chosen because of her age. She was able to contain you, while keeping this body viable. Oa sacrificed her life as she knew it to accommodate this contact. Your souls, your subconscious mind agreed to this. You were not abducted with malice, but with love. Your childhood here is designed to facilitate communication, increase rapport with the indigenous population.

There is a black hole on either side, and two black holes orbiting this space, the inner singularities are small, approximately 1.5 kilometers in lengths. Their orbits define and maintain this space-time structure in the void between space-time structures. The star here orbits both singularities in a figure eight. The planet always follows the host star. Communication opportunities increase with increased proximity to singularities. No one
