- GATECRASHERS OF ISHTAR
Retouch me. Repair me. But let it be known
that when you see me, I will be restored.
-Diana Brebner, The Ishtar Gate: Last and Selected Poems.
[Agent Carthage]:
There is nothing more human than the ability to cope with adversity, not flesh and bone, but the diligent use of technolog, that's what transhumanity principles stand for. It is true that on numerous occasions it has been the trigger for great dangers to humanity itself, just as it has been the interface with which to understand and manipulate the very nature of the universe. We haven't vanquished ourselves of the fate of the galaxy yet as some ancients civilizations already did. Their remnants will help us to understand and improve our tools, as we are the guardians of the Gates. We are the best las hope of the exo-colonies and the first and last stand of the Solar System. If the Gates fall, we will be ashes to ashes.
