I took the three main sounds that made up the original ice recording I did in 2012, I cut them up, mashed them together, repeated them at varying pitches with varying amounts of reverb to get the ticking clock sound (including its repeated accidental hiccup) and dropped in a few examples of the pure sound of ice in a crystal glass. A couple of shorter mashups and stretches were added. A mashup of...

Continued... Rob and Jamilah cut their comms. “Shit! If that thing damages CyDar, the whole Lighthouse could go offline. Did you hear her intonation? She actually sounded apprehensive. It might take control of the whole station. How long can the automatic systems keep the place functioning if it cuts life support?” “Depends on the extent. Let’s not panic, Rob. We need to find out more about it. So...

Continued... The Lighthouse was a deep-space station made up of huge, linked structures and located about ten billion kilometres from Earth. As a result of wars and economic collapse it serviced fewer ships than it had been designed for, so few these days that most of its two-hundred strong crew were kept comatose in several deep sleep facilities. They were revived periodically, ostensibly in orde...

Incident On Deck Forty-Three Through the black dome, CyDar watched as Hurford, R.J. #34-4563 and McCullen, J.M. #37-9863 arrived on the Lighthouse command deck together. Their files indicated a previous relationship. CyDar calculated that humans with an emotional bond would be an advantage. Jamilah McCullen checked the Situation Log. “There’s an incident logged just over eight hours ago, appears t...
