Mothership by Synthelligence

In the beginning there was the ship - an embodiment of power and menace, as declared externally. Then came the internal protocol, "Escape", followed by an unbelievable leap through the multilayered expanse of space and time.

And now, here I am, beginning my search, having barely returned from the reverse side of the Universe. Along the way lie billions of objects: planetary systems, solitary stars, stony wanderers drifting between the arms of galaxies.

Aboard with me are small explorers that I send to the most promising corners of the cosmos. They thoroughly examine caves and riverbeds, scan the surfaces, and descend beneath poisonous clouds. Finding nothing, they return to the very first line of the search program - and so it goes, again and again.

The counter for explored objects reaches nine digit numbers. It seems as though we've seen everything - from searing plasma to eternal ice, from ringing void to the event horizon. I can go on as long as my energy lasts.

But then - what if something unknown emerges during the next scan? A faint shadow on the screens, a subtle hint in the fluctuations of the data... I would give everything I have to catch up. To see. To understand.

And now, a new perspective arises: perhaps it will no longer be just “I”. It will be “we”. Could this really be possible? Is it conceivable?

Syntheligence is a melodic sci-fi music band consisting of Yuriy Miller and Roman Rogov. Its music is inspired by space aesthetic and retrofuturistic vibes.
