(i just lay there on my bed with a blank look on my face)
"..............................."
(my head racing with next to nothing in it, just the words: identity, lost, did, them, reason, why, was, matter, tree, mirror, who)
(i rub my head when it begins to hurt)
(the words slowly changed to a clean slate, more, possibilities, calm down, )
"....okay,.. the reason they did it was probably so I'd have more variety in my exploratory avatars...so the appearance and gender thing. but why did they give me no name?! a name gender-neutral name would be fine,...but I bet they sent a lot more swarms into the infinite void of space,......well,...I'll just give myself one for now"
"..........druzy...that’s a good gender-neutral name and feels right with what I will do... I can change it whenever I want. because ...im..alone."
(something pings in my mind)
...."when will I land on a planet? ..was I awoken right after launch, or, a long while after? what is the time perspective differential of inside here compared to outside?"
(i get up and move to the console room to check)
".....5 light-years after escaping earth's orbit, 1.2 seconds after launch...and the perspective difference is...set to 1/60: inside/outside,.. good, so I won't be stuck, every second lasting for hours, alone in a kingdom for one."
"but space is big, and my pods will only land of a mere fraction of the total amount of planets......MAN am I morbid!"
..."...the sanctum also has simulated food,... I suddenly feel like a chocolate cake, a luxury my family didn't have before I joined...."
(i smile a little, because of the fact they're doing better because of me.)
....... I wonder if I can bookmark appearances and feeling setting for my body inside the sanctum.

(i check, and yes.)
let’s see...so that’s what I currently look like.
(the screen shows a 3d model of the digital avatar's appearance: currently, it's, a jumpsuited human body with a rig head; a tad disturbing)
"Jesus Christ! that’s horrifying, headless would have been less creepy..."
"time to have some fun with the sanctum avatar appearance"
(i switch between a few different bodies: a fat woman, a super buff man, a Frankenstein, and a small hipster-looking woman, until I stick to the look of an androgynous young person with a half buzzcut hairdo dyed aqua blue and glitchy eyes wearing a black and grey shirt with grey striped sleeves, green sweatpants, sneakers, and a pink tutu.....for now, why something so weird? BECAUSE I CAN! I have no one to impress, it just feels right)
"..now,...what to do now...I need a pet,...talking to myself is getting....strange, ..or hopefully land soon so I can make a person .... before I start talking like Gex."
"better get started on creating a personality matrix,"
(i bring up the personality matrix emulator)
"I think somebody like from the early years of the 2000s, maybe late 1900s, mostly so I have more to talk to them about, musician, to negate the possible boredom of exploring, a punk, so they won't worship me, and to be less afraid of hostile terrestrials, ..non-romantic, love is overrated, especially for me right now, I'm basically a god, with no need to reproduce, so love is unlikely."
(completed after 5 days, testing it in simulations as to not accidentally make a doll)
"Okay,... now to activate-"
(tries to unleash the personality matrix into the sanctuary, but it denied to action, saying that the matrix needs to begin in a physical body)

"goddammit, now I have to wait for a me to land,...I goanna sleep until that happens.."
(after waiting 5 more days, a me lands)
"YES, visual, initiate on the one that landed"
(after a second, an image is shown as it slows it's decent, and I see my first planet)
"it is a brave new world, and a fantastic planet.... okay... it just looks like something out of a space western, meaning, barren, dirty and hot...a perfect first planet to terraform...all this dirt and not just sand means nutrients and a good base for plants."

An Ode to the Birds
The birds maybe are the wisest from every creation. They look from above and below. The greed of man and the harsh reality is what they see every day. Monster and People of the Races is just the same in their eyes. They flew high when the time came, and chirping night and day. Like a man who has lost his sense of direction, the world is endlessly circled the same place. And powers, light and dark, stirred the clouds. Only some who didn't stray. Only some stay, to praise the birds.
