Now, about the vehicle. Yes, The ovoid number with a personality problem. (We’ll leave names out of it, digital walls have ears, you know.) The vehicle functions as a fixed point in the non-linear coordinate system. Everything else: the notes, diagrams, those bizarre flashes of insight you get right before falling asleep, all orbit the thing like loose change around a magnet.

Central crucible…

Memory engine…

Internal guidance system…

Feel any lights flickering on upstairs, yet?

The vehicle is not bound by the usual tin-can rules of space and time. And there’s something about an old storage unit… Never you mind, we’ll get there soon enough.

Just know that if you encounter something out there that fills you with the overwhelming sense that you have loved it with all your heart in countless lifetimes before, and will continue to do so in countless lifetimes to come, you can trust that you’ve started spreading jam on both sides of the bread!

The old girl always knows where she’s going, see? Even when you don’t. That’s why it’s so important that you get reacquainted with her before you attempt anything crazy! The vehicle does not merely carry you through a tunneling structure; she establishes a highly synchronized geometric relationship with your immediate environment which makes the excursion possible. Speaking of geometry, this seems as good a time as any to admire the downright magnificent proportions of the Easter Egg.

Actually, no. We’ll let that rabbit hole alone for now. Ha!

Are you familiar with Euclid? Really nice guy, but he's not invited. What we’re dealing with here operates on a folded substrate and things can get pretty turbulent so take extra care not to steer our pride and joy around like an old crate, ok? She deserves a lot more respect than that.

And she’s already made contact whether you remember it or not.
