“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.” -Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

The living computer, invented by Michael Perdita. The first piece of biotech which tests positively for microbial viability as well as surviving gestation. This beating heart, roughly 2 meters tall and 1.4 meters wide, sits on display in the throne room. Showcased behind a pane of glass, latex veins pump mixtures of type O- blood, oil, gas, and extracellular fluids. The prized jewel of a sovereignty it empowers.

It is described as a quantum biomechanical hyper-processing unit. A guttural framework for abiogenesis. Potentially the last major advance in computing. The messenger and the message. Combining elements of technology with qualities of organic matter, to create a perfect processing unit. One that can functionally divide infinite tasks at infinite speed, and regenerate decaying tissue using biotic processes.

With any new incubation of technology, a new apparatus to utilize it comes next. Nexus Dominion, the capital building where Queen Perdita resides, was about to get its new factotum. An automaton like us who can live, breathe, and bleed. Innovation such that even technology too will fear death.
