Once, there was unity and simplicity of structure...so we begin with Hydrogen. I watched as the Star Child--physically and intellectually--grew at an exponential rate. I watched as Leonardo da Vinci stood apart, still part of the brotherhood, but something more. At first the Immortals' loyalty to Newton held. But then days became months...and the Hydrogen? It became Helium. And what was once so very simple became increasingly complex. Da Vinci, you see, offered a different path. And in a closed system, thermodynamics required migration--nature demanded equilibrium. Newton's followers began to leave. And Helium...became Carbon. The basis of all living things. It was then that the Star Child began to grasp the shape of the things to come. On one side there would be hope. On the other, fate. And the Carbon? It became Oxygen. The Human Machine flickered to life. The Star Child stood in the center of the Immortal City, staring up at what had been constructed there. Machinery symbolizing the coming conflict. Eternity...or the end of the world. It was my father's Century Machine--Newton's doomsday clock. And with its completion, the whispers of conflict became a war.
