The Voidborn settlement on Phase Lock lives up to its name in ways that still unsettle me, even after encounters with consciousness-uploading facilities across the Orion Arm. Entire sectors hum with the white noise of defragmentation cycles, minds suspended in crystalline processors that glow with an almost meditative serenity — I've seen meditation gardens on a dozen worlds, but never one where the meditators *are* the garden. There's something oddly touching about it, truthfully; even beings of pure information need rest, need to untangle themselves from the weight of existence. I wonder if they dream in those deep processing states, or if that's a distinctly biological luxury.
