Anxiety

Chapter 36: Thy very pulse of machine



Inspired by third season episode titled "The Very Pulse of the Machine" which I included some of quotes from that episode.

"Burton:

-Wake up.

Unknown:

-Wake up.

Burton:

-Oh sleep! It is a gentle thing Beloved from pole to pole!"

-Who spilled these stars Across the sky Like sparkling dust, like clouds of light

They pour their milky shine

Into the deep black bowl

-Yes. I'm trying to communicate

- I was the world

In which I walked and what I saw

Or heard or felt came not but from myself

What the fuck?

MARTHA!

I'm not gonna make it. Fuck!

Burton:

- Io has a core of iron and iron sulfide. What does this sound like?

A mantle of partially molten rock,

Io is a sulfur-rich moon. What does this sound like?

Io's metallic core generates a magnetic field connectiong its own poles with the poles of Jupiter. What does this sound like?

Io's Volcanoes emit sulfur dioxide...

and oxygen. What does this sound like?

Rotating field, magnetosphere.

Sulfur ions, circular orbit. What does this sound like?

It sounds...

Sounds like...

Like a machine.

Burton: Yes. Yes, machine. Yes. Machine.

I am machine.

Burton:

- Look at me.

Burton: And now I see with eye seren The very pulse of the machine.

Burton's brain is semi-intact. Language is data. Radio is medium. Sulfur is triboelectric.

That hole... is lika a highway... into her mind...

I just...

I can't.

Burton:

- Yes, yes. The marble index of a mind Forever...

Voyaging through strange eons of thought

alone.

Io

Are you there?

Yes.

Did Burton go... in there?

Yes.

Throw self in.

Physical configuration will be destroyed.

Neural configuration may be preserved.

Maybe death. Maybe life.

Join with me.

Io, if you're a machine. what is your funciton?

To know you.

Sighs

Maybe Im gonna live forever.

Or maybe this is just one last dream

Before Dying

Earth station

Come in.

This is Martha Kivelson."

And so I did.

Throw myself in.

Embrace death

but

Maybe it will be eternal life?

I saw you comin in.

Countless times

In my dreams.

And so it does

mean

That you left me

countless times

in my eternal dreams.

I'm losing myself

when you're around

Those faces seems to not recognize

Yet, I remember every night

Our motions becoming one.

"My Dear,

why do you keep rejecting me

While I'm trying to manifest picture

of me

Through countless obcjects that surronds nobody

but me

when you summon

Stare at me."

Escitalopramum

Quetiapinum

Which one should I choose?

Do I need choose at all?

I see what I saw

I saw what I see

I know nothing

When it comes to Thy

silhouette...

Please, dance with me.
