“认知”意味着什么? | |||
<br> | |||
是我们的所想?还是我们的所见?又或者是我们的所感?亦或是我们的所闻? | |||
<br><br> | |||
感知到的事物,就一定是真切的? | |||
<br><br> | |||
必然如此。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
所谓的“认知”,必然是一个人透过自己的感官或是他人的说明所获得的感知。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
尤其对小孩来说,这更是个必然的真理。 | |||
---- | |||
我想要跟你介绍一个人,这个人我素昧平生,但我很确定我认识对方。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
曾经,我汇集了她的所有记忆,并且把这些记忆拼凑在一起,通过某种方式成为了一则故事…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
这个故事是这样的…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
……在某个不起眼的宇宙中,某个地处偏远的边陲地带,存在着一颗普通的星体。 | |||
<br> | |||
居住在这颗星体上的人民团结一心。那个文明下的孩童从十岁开始就有机会觉醒从出生起就潜在的能力, | |||
<br> | |||
然后一直保持这样的状态直到十七岁,可谓是这个不起眼的宇宙中相当不寻常的特质。 | |||
<br> | |||
这些孩童的所思所想,能够直接在现实世界中具现化。 | |||
---- | |||
他们不是神,但他们确实是拥有惊人能力的建筑师。他们凭借着这股超凡力量守护自己的世界。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
我们的孩子,便是这些少数拥有如此超能力的孩童当中的一个。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
那个国家的名称……我不记得了。那个世界也是……我记不清了。不过我还记得, | |||
<br> | |||
她的名字是……“维塔”。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
某天,维塔在她的房间醒来,透过头顶上的天窗看见户外昏暗的夜色。随后, | |||
<br> | |||
她身旁的朋友也纷纷醒了过来。他们互道“早安”,却是在暮色中起身。过去这两年来, | |||
<br> | |||
他们每晚都重复着这样的例行公事。 | |||
<br> | |||
他们走去洗手间清洗准备。他们谈论着最近正在收看的有声剧以及近期开始阅读的书本或漫画。 | |||
<br> | |||
他们谈论着自己的梦境。 | |||
---- | |||
维塔和其他人穿着同样的制服,在轻松愉快的交谈声中,来到了中央指挥室。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
这个宇宙正处于战争。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
各方强权争夺着孩子无法理解的事物,战火偶尔会烧到他们在外太空的领域, | |||
<br> | |||
不过这些强权大部分时候都只会彼此互相争斗。她的星球在这场战争中采取中立态度, | |||
<br> | |||
而她和其他孩童则是少数被选中的重要人物,必须负起重大使命维护这样的和平。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
那里有在天空之上战斗的男女;那里有用尽文字与决策与其他世界维稳关系的大人; | |||
<br> | |||
那里有在充满暴力和混乱的时期维护秩序稳定的外派士兵和使节;此外, | |||
<br> | |||
那里还有神经/心灵通道/网格测量(统称 NMPGM),仅些微的力量便能造成干扰, | |||
<br> | |||
而若释放全力则无可阻挡。对于其他世界的许多人来说,这样的能力就是活生生的梦魇。 | |||
---- | |||
这个部分我就不再多加赘述。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
维塔进入中央指挥室,没有多花心思去赞叹这个巨大空间的宏伟, | |||
<br> | |||
也没有在几层楼高的巨大中庭内因为像漩涡一样汹涌澎湃的混杂思绪和意念而踌躇片刻。 | |||
<br> | |||
她和她的朋友必须扮演好自己的角色,随着他们走向各自的座位,彼此的交谈声逐渐淡去。 | |||
<br> | |||
大家都能感应到彼此的心灵在背负起沉重的责任后不再如刚开始那般放松。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
他们要为了这个世界、为了和平与繁荣而奋斗——这超乎了太空中的每一片领地, | |||
<br> | |||
领地上的每一位人民。 | |||
---- | |||
她连接至NMPGM。她集中精神,透过意念让大家安静下来……然后开始着手处理她所负责的通道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她将一切抛诸脑后,尽责致力于自己的工作。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
……直到她突然之间收到一个未知信号。}} | |||

What does it mean to "know"? | |||
<br> | |||
Is it what one thinks? What one sees? What one feels? What one hears? | |||
<br><br> | |||
Is perception what grants certainty? | |||
<br><br> | |||
Certainly. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Certainly the "known" is what one perceives, through their senses or through whatever they're told. | |||
<br><br> | |||
For a child especially, that is certainly true. | |||
---- | |||
I want to talk about somebody here: somebody whom I've never met, but whom I feel sure that I know. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Once, I gathered all of her memories and lined them up, and in a way it created a story... | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is how it began... | |||
<br><br> | |||
...In the terribly far reaches of an unremarkable universe existed a typical celestial body. Upon it, | |||
<br> | |||
its people were united. From the age of ten, the children here had a chance to awaken to something | |||
<br> | |||
they may have been born with, which would stay with them until their seventeenth year: something | |||
<br> | |||
remarkable within the unremarkable universe. What they wished and what they thought could | |||
<br> | |||
manifest within reality. | |||
---- | |||
They weren't gods, but they were unusual architects. And with their magnificent | |||
<br> | |||
abilities, they could protect their world. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Of the few boys and girls born so special, our child was another. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The country's name... I don't remember. The world's, too—I don't recall. Her | |||
<br> | |||
name, though, was... is "Vita". | |||
<br><br> | |||
Vita woke up in her room one day, and saw above her the night sky through a | |||
<br> | |||
dimmed window. As she woke, so did her friends around her. They each wished | |||
<br> | |||
one another a good "morning" and rose for the evening. They had done so every | |||
<br> | |||
night for the past two years. They went to ready themselves in the washrooms. | |||
<br> | |||
They talked about audio dramas they followed, and about books and comics they | |||
<br> | |||
would read. They talked about their dreams. | |||
---- | |||
Vita and the rest, dressed in their uniforms, walked toward the central command room, still | |||
<br> | |||
speaking frivolously. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The universe was at war. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Powers vying for things beyond the children's understanding would occasionally try to breach | |||
<br> | |||
their territory in space, but largely, those powers fought amongst themselves. Her planet | |||
<br> | |||
represented neutrality, and she and the other children were one of several essential bodies | |||
<br> | |||
tasked for maintaining that neutrality.. | |||
<br><br> | |||
There were the men and women who fought in and above the skies. There were the other adults | |||
<br> | |||
who used their words and acumen to broker good relations between her world and others. There | |||
<br> | |||
were the expat soldiers and diplomats who would ensure whatever stability could be ensured in | |||
<br> | |||
those times of violence and decay. And there was the Nerve/Mind Pathway/Grid Measure—in small | |||
<br> | |||
applications a nuisance, and in large-scale invincible and, in the opinion of many outside of | |||
<br> | |||
her world, a sleeping terror. | |||
---- | |||
I will curb the exposition and narrate. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Vita entered central command taking no pause at its grandiosity and majesty—no hesitation at the | |||
<br> | |||
cacophony of thoughts and wills swirling throughout the massive, several-storied atrium. She and | |||
<br> | |||
her friends had a part to play, and as they neared their assigned seats, their chatter naturally | |||
<br> | |||
dying, they could all hear one another's minds pulling away from the frivolous as they attuned | |||
<br> | |||
instead to their vital responsibility. | |||
<br><br> | |||
For a world of worth, for peace and prosperity beyond any other throughout all the reaches of | |||
<br> | |||
space—beyond any other within any land. | |||
---- | |||
She connected to the NMPGM. She focused down, quieted the others in her mind...and began to tend | |||
<br> | |||
to her part of the pathways. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She let nothing bother her. She did her work. | |||
<br><br> | |||
...Until it came about that she received an unknown signal.}} | |||

……前一个晚上: | |||
<br> | |||
大家在简报中听取了自己所需要知道的一切资讯。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
关于另一颗星球源源不绝的混沌、关于他们的船舰在领域之外遭到劫持的事件、 | |||
<br> | |||
关于预定在下个礼拜进行的娱乐项目…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
他们试图无视死亡的消息,而讨论着即将举办的音乐会, | |||
<br> | |||
或是开心聊着各种大大小小的成就。举例来说…… | |||
---- | |||
除了第四星球以外,另一个更友善的星系似乎总是能够自给自足。他们跟那个星系之间有 | |||
<br> | |||
个简单的交易:他们同意让那群人使用NMPGM,而作为交换,那群人需要从那颗大气扰动强烈、 | |||
<br> | |||
无时无刻都危机四伏的星球中给他们提供资源。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她的同胞心胸宽厚,至少大多数人都懂得给予和接受,这样的关系对他们很有利。 | |||
<br> | |||
人们常常会试着静悄悄地使用或入侵具有心理防卫机制的网络,以此为自己牟利。 | |||
<br> | |||
虽然维塔对此并没有太多了解,但她至少明白其中的道理:如果想要什么东西, | |||
<br> | |||
还是坦白向对方开口比较好。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她有时会询问另一颗星球的混沌究竟从何而起。在她昨晚听取的简报中, | |||
<br> | |||
有关那颗星球的消息再次出现。那是问题真正的症结点。对她来说, | |||
<br> | |||
那些因为鸡毛蒜皮的小事而引起的战争听上去都很愚蠢而且没有必要。 | |||
---- | |||
她常常说…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
“……在这个世界要找点能让自己开心的事情没那么难吧?” | |||
<br><br> | |||
记住这句话。 | |||
---- | |||
她在那天接收到了某个未知的信号…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
她加强自己负责看管的通道时听见一道声音:“西边需要协助,座标是——”<br><br>她的身体一阵颤抖,在环顾周围的其他孩童后,她意识到自己是唯一一个听见这道声音的人。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
在她使用工作站旁边的电脑输入她刚才接收到的那个座标时,她做好心理准备, | |||
<br> | |||
将自己的想法发送了出去: | |||
<br><br> | |||
“请表明你的等级和职位。你是工程部还是沟通部的人?你为什么会在外太空?” | |||
<br><br> | |||
没有人回应她的问题。她内心惶恐不安的继续执行她的勤务,并且时刻注意着通讯的来源。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
良久过后,对方终于做出回应。 | |||
---- | |||
“你听得见我?等等——难道说真的成功了吗?” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“既然我能听得见你的声音,那么想必你应该知道要怎么‘说话’吧?你不会是超能力者吧?” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她停顿了一下。这样的想法……令人感到背脊发凉。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她告诉对方:“我会保持你的信号畅通,然后把你转接到指挥官那——” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“等等!你应该是NMPGM 的其中一位建筑师,对吧?你来自那个中立国家……!” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“这不是大家都知道的事情吗?”她回覆道,扰人的情绪开始在指尖蔓延开来。 “开始转接——” | |||
---- | |||
“果…果然跟我想得一样!你们这些自大狂妄的家伙,我就知道这样行不通! | |||
<br> | |||
为什么要派我来做这种事情啊……” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她不经意缓缓捏了一下自己座位边的扶手。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“我并不自大狂妄。”她回覆道。 “我不清楚你是用什么方法入侵的,但他们一定会查清真相。 | |||
<br> | |||
我必须警告你,你最好不要来招惹我们的网络和人民。如果你害我们违反中立原则, | |||
<br> | |||
我们一定会让你付出代价。知…知道了吗?” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“但如果你们先自己动手了呢?”对方问道。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她的语气听起来被惹毛了:“你说什么?” | |||
---- | |||
“我是说,如果你们先害自己违反中立原则呢?” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“从来没有发生过这种事,往后也不会发生。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
“看样子你从来没有听过彼得罗呢。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她本来正准备回话,但她紧接着意识到自己确实没有听过这个名字。 | |||
---- | |||
“我要切断这次通讯了。”对方说道。 “但我还会回来。你们的网络这么发达, | |||
<br> | |||
那自己去搜一下’彼得罗‘啊,你那边应该没有搞审查制度这种东西吧? | |||
<br> | |||
毕竟那里应该是片好地方嘛。再见。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
通讯到此结束。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她的心跳得很快,赶忙在旁人察觉异样之前返回到工作岗位。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她没有听过彼得罗,但明天早上她打算去一探究竟。}} | |||
{{collapse|状态=collapsed|标题颜色=#e7e7e7|内容颜色=#f7f7f7|标题=英文剧情|内容= | |||
...The night before: | |||
<br> | |||
Through their briefings, they were informed of what they needed to know. | |||
<br><br> | |||
About the disorder continuing on another planet, about the hijackings of their vessels within foreign | |||
<br> | |||
space, about the entertainment planned for later in the week... | |||
<br><br> | |||
They tended to ignore the death, and discuss coming concerts—or they tended to talk happily of | |||
<br> | |||
accomplishments. For example... | |||
---- | |||
A friendlier system beside the fourth planet out always seemed to help their own. They had a simple | |||
<br> | |||
deal with that system: allowing this other society to utilize the NMPGM while they provided resources | |||
<br> | |||
from that perpetually dangerous planet with a turbulent atmosphere. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her society was magnanimous, mostly: give, receive—such relationships served them well. Often, | |||
<br> | |||
people tried to use or infiltrate the psychically guarded networks quietly, for their own gain. | |||
<br> | |||
She did not know much, but Vita at least knew that if you wanted something, you were better off | |||
<br> | |||
simply asking for it. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She sometimes asked what that other planet's disorder—the planet she'd been briefed on again the | |||
<br> | |||
night before—what its disorder truly stemmed from. To her, their fighting over what sounded like | |||
<br> | |||
lost and easily forgettable grudges sounded foolish, stupid, needless. | |||
---- | |||
She'd often say... | |||
<br><br> | |||
"...It's not like it's hard to find things in this world to be happy about." | |||
<br><br> | |||
Keep this in mind. | |||
---- | |||
That day she received an unknown signal... | |||
<br><br> | |||
As she fortified the part of the path she was charged with, she heard, "west and | |||
<br> | |||
seeking aid. Coordinates are—" | |||
<br><br> | |||
And as she flinched, and as she looked around her at the other seated children, | |||
<br> | |||
she realized that she was the only person hearing this voice. | |||
<br><br> | |||
As she entered the coordinates she was given into the computer beside her<br>workstation, she steeled herself and sent out a thought: | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Rank and designation? Are you in Engineering or Communications? Why are you | |||
<br> | |||
offworld?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her questions were answered with silence. She nervously continued her duties, | |||
<br> | |||
ever mindful of the source of the transmission. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And eventually, it answered again. | |||
---- | |||
"You can hear me? Wait—it actually works?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"If I can hear you, you should know how to 'talk'. Are you not a Psychic?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
She paused. That was... a rather unsettling notion. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She told the other voice, "I'll be keeping your signal open and bridging<br>you to the commanders of—" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"Wait! You have to be one of the architects of the NMPGM, right!? From | |||
<br> | |||
that neutral country...!" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"There's nowhere that wouldn't know that," she answered, irritation creeping | |||
<br> | |||
over her fingers. | |||
"Initiating bridge—" | |||
---- | |||
"J-Just like I thought! The whole lot of you are arrogant—I knew this wouldn't work! | |||
<br> | |||
Why'd they assign me for it..." | |||
<br><br> | |||
Unintentionally, she slowly pinched at her armrest. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"I'm not arrogant," she replied. "Whatever infiltration methods you're using, they're | |||
<br> | |||
going to be found out. I must inform you that our network and people aren't things you | |||
<br> | |||
want to play with. If you break us out of neutrality, we break you. U-Understood?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"What happens when you break it first?" asked the voice. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And her voice was delivered with a hiss: a sharply sent, "What?"<br> | |||
---- | |||
"I said, what happens when you break your neutrality first?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
"That's never happened, and it wouldn't happen." | |||
<br><br> | |||
"So you've never heard of Petorh." | |||
<br><br> | |||
And when she made to reply—she realized that she hadn't. | |||
---- | |||
"I'm closing this transmission," said the voice, "but I'll open it again. Use your vast | |||
<br> | |||
networks to search 'Petorh'—they don't censor everything over there, right? You're | |||
<br> | |||
supposed to be a good place. Goodbye." | |||
<br><br> | |||
And so the transmission ended. | |||
<br><br> | |||
With her heart beating, she returned to her work before any disruption could be noticed. | |||
<br><br> | |||
She hadn't heard of Petorh, but she would look into it when the sun rose again.}} | |||

她腾出自己的空闲时间在基地的图书馆使用加密信号搜索互联网,<br>这种信号加密原本的功能是掩护她和她的朋友在寻找被禁游戏、<br>美术作品和影片时不至于留下痕迹。大家从来没把它用在正事上过…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
不过,由于彼得罗故事的关系,她很感谢自己有这个原本被大家当作是 | |||
<br> | |||
“玩具”的东西帮助,因为她从未听说过这般严肃而危险的题材。 | |||
---- | |||
…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
我要在这边特别提一下。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
我并不记得我来自哪里。我只“记得”其他 Arcaea 居住者的记忆, | |||
<br> | |||
特别是那些在虚无中的记忆。不过,这次的事件还是很容易回想起来…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
在任何你所能想到的世界中,要找到某个象征着“恐怖”的事物都并不困难。 | |||
---- | |||
在她出生的二十年前,正值 NMPGM 的扩张时期,当时的人们发现了名为彼得罗的小行星, | |||
<br> | |||
但却没有去重视它。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
大约在四百年前,那颗小行星被移民级的星际飞船发现,对方当时因为母星的大气消散而被迫逃离家园。 | |||
<br> | |||
那艘飞船停靠在小行星上,并建立了“彼得罗”……但这一切都没有被官方承认过。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
在没有文件纪录的情况下,彼得罗循着不规律的运行轨道漂泊在荒芜的外太空。 | |||
<br> | |||
这颗小行星并没有被遗忘,因为自始自终根本没有人知晓它的存在。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
在那之后又过了好几百年,她的这个世界也发现了这颗小行星,但大家并不知道小行星上面住着一群人, | |||
<br> | |||
于是便使用 NMPGM 的力量迅速摧毁了大半的小行星。而这个决定的结果就像是…… | |||
<br> | |||
使用炸药过后的下场。小行星有一半汽化,而原本居住在上面的人口 | |||
<br> | |||
直接锐减三分之二。 | |||
---- | |||
彼得罗人向她的世界提出抗议。维塔这边星球的消息来源缺少有关这方面的纪录。 | |||
<br> | |||
根据其他星球的传闻指出,她的世界私底下派出秘密组织掩盖消息,消灭受害者的声音。 | |||
<br> | |||
彼得罗人后来决定跟某颗帝国行星建立联盟,大家都知道这个帝国有着会接受投降者的传统…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
这件事维塔还记得很清楚。听说她的世界曾在某个地处偏远的太空地带爆发了一场……“小冲突”。 | |||
<br> | |||
据说当时帝国派出部队与她世界的部队交战。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
不过,她家乡以外的其他任何消息来源都给出了完全不一样的说法: | |||
<br> | |||
“因为帝国与某个未经正式授权的垦荒者结盟, | |||
<br> | |||
同时也为了消灭对方存在的事实并掩盖自身所犯’错误‘的痕迹, | |||
<br> | |||
他们动用 NMPGM 使某个星区塌缩,杀死了残存的彼得罗人,连一部分的帝国人也跟着陪葬。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
虽然许多消息来源都采用此一说法,但最后真正说服她相信事实真相的, | |||
<br> | |||
还是来源于她自己世界内部网络最深层的那两页报告。 | |||
---- | |||
真相……的开端:她这个采取中立态度的世界,其实只是表面上中立。为了达成所谓的“和平”, | |||
<br> | |||
像“彼得罗”这种类似的故事不在少数。其中许多案例的开端甚至还不是“无意”的疏失, | |||
<br> | |||
有一部分人认为彼得罗的事件也绝非意外。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
……当然了,这些事情她都没有跟其他人提起。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
当然了,等到假日结束之后,她还是像往常那样正常工作。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
当然了,她决定要去找那个未知的信号赴约。 | |||
---- | |||
“我是最后仅存的彼得罗人之一。”对方说道。 “我们只不过是想要逃离罢了。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
逃离那个名为联盟关系的奴隶制度—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
逃离这个混乱的星系—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
逃离她的星球及其无可比拟的影响力。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
“我听说他们的孩童能透过心灵建立通道。我…我们……”对方的声音在颤抖。 “我们就在想, | |||
<br> | |||
说不定孩子能够理解……那些在位者不屑一顾的事情。” | |||
<br><br> | |||
她问道:“你们想要什么?” | |||
<br><br> | |||
对方给出答覆:“我们只想要一条出路。我们……我们听说…这…这个 NMPGM 区通常很安静, | |||
<br> | |||
而且我们知道这个地方地处偏远。我们可以……我们有足够的飞船, | |||
<br> | |||
说不定能到其他的星系去找适合居住的地方,或者是……” | |||
---- | |||
对方告诉她,彼得罗人在受到帝国联盟关系……实质是被奴役的期间,发现帝国正在偷偷研发科技, | |||
<br> | |||
打算监视那些维护 NMPGM 的头脑。他们当时窃取了那个技术。在走投无路、山穷水尽的情况下, | |||
<br> | |||
他们心甘情愿与维塔分享这件事,即便他们知道维塔必须将这样的情报回报给上级。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
但是彼得罗人当初与帝国建立的“联盟”关系,如今已经毫无意义。 | |||
<br> | |||
对方坚称这里的任何事物都没有意义,他们一心只想逃离这个地方。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她很轻易就能满足对方的这个心愿。现代飞船只要一眨眼的工夫就能飞到九霄云外, | |||
<br> | |||
如果能有通道提供超光速旅行则更是如此…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
只要抓准时机速战速决送走对方,应该不会留下什么痕迹……吧? | |||
<br><br> | |||
是啊…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
她愿意这么做。 | |||
---- | |||
但是——你知道吗?事情是这样的: | |||
<br><br> | |||
NMPGM 过去被用来使星区塌缩,杀死残存的彼得罗人,根本就没有任何漏网之鱼。 | |||
---- | |||
维塔透过通道以外的“视野”自然是能看见飞船,但凭借她的力量有办法辨认出对方是什么样的飞船吗? | |||
<br> | |||
有办法清楚看清飞船的外观吗?有办法判断飞船的大小吗? | |||
<br><br> | |||
不行。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她无从知晓。 | |||
---- | |||
当维塔替准备逃离的“彼得罗人”开启通道时…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
……那些通道中瞬间涌入了帝国的战争飞船。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
你还记得那些飞船在通道中的移动速度有多快吗? | |||
<br><br> | |||
对对方而言也是一样的…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
现代飞船只要一眨眼的工夫就能飞到九霄云外,如果能有通道提供超光速旅行则更是如此…… | |||
---- | |||
在战争飞船进入 NMPGM 后,对方发动迅速且全面的攻势,她的星球根本无力抵抗。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
看样子帝国手上掌握着许多情报,知道每个超能力基地的所在位置,并且优先摧毁了这些重要设施。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
她世界的地表很快便遭到轰炸。当下并没有太多时间能够反应,不出几个小时, | |||
<br> | |||
她的世界基本上已经面目全非。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
尽管他们并没有束手就擒—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
曾经有人尝试反击、尝试接通到另一个信号、尝试尽可能摧毁来犯的敌军船舰—— | |||
<br><br> | |||
但绝大多数情况下,充斥着的只有绝望…… | |||
---- | |||
恐惧…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
自我厌恶…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
火海、战栗、惊恐,这里已然就是地狱…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
他们在这场游戏中“奋战”,但他们所采取的第一个行动,其实早就已经决定了最终的胜负。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
从上方袭来的炮弹标示出她基地的所在位置……<br><br>……然后,终结了她、她的上级还有她朋友们的生命。 | |||
---- | |||
…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
在那之后,这位女孩在一片洁白的世界终醒来,眼眶中噙着泪水。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
……不过,她并不明白自己为什么流泪,也无法解释胸口中所感受到的莫名疼痛。 | |||
---- | |||
她跟我们所有人一样,都失去了生命。她跟我们绝大多数一样,都没有前世的记忆。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
我不禁在想,她如何解释自己流泪的行为呢? | |||
---- | |||
我想,她在拭泪起身的时候,是否能感受到除了伤痛以外的事情? | |||
<br><br> | |||
比如说愧疚感。亦或是责任感。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
……我想并非如此。或者我应该这么说:她不应该有这种情绪,也不应该觉得自己有错。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
毕竟,所谓的“认知”到底是什么呢? | |||
<br><br> | |||
她现在所“认知”到的事情……什么也没有。 | |||
<br><br> | |||
而且……随着这则故事来到结局,在她起身面对这个玻璃世界的同时, | |||
<br> | |||
我们不免还是要提出这个疑问…… | |||
---- | |||
…… | |||
<br><br> | |||
……她是否曾经认知过任何其他的事?}} | |||

An important fact that any living and thinking being should keep in mind... | |||
<br> | |||
...is that "truth", and "knowledge"... are not always necessarily the same thing. | |||
<br><br> | |||
It had been the day before an ease of hours—the "weekend"—when Vita received | |||
<br> | |||
the signal. For the following two days, she spent her free time within the base's | |||
<br> | |||
library and searching through the inter-network through a signal encryption she and | |||
<br> | |||
her friends typically used to find games, artwork, and videos forbidden to them | |||
<br> | |||
without leaving a trace. It was never for anything serious at all... | |||
<br><br> | |||
The story of Petorh, though, made her appreciate that tool they thought of as a "toy" | |||
<br> | |||
far more than ever, for never had a more serious subject become known to her, nor ever | |||
<br> | |||
one so dangerous. | |||
---- | |||
... | |||
<br><br> | |||
I'd like to make a note here. | |||
<br><br> | |||
I don't remember where it was I came from. I only "remember" the memories of others | |||
<br> | |||
within Arcaea, and particularly within the Void. Still from this, it's easy to gather... | |||
<br><br> | |||
It isn't hard at all to find something to call "dreadful" in any world you can think of. | |||
---- | |||
Twenty years before her birth, during the NMPGM's expansion, a planetoid named Petorh had been | |||
<br> | |||
discovered and pushed aside. | |||
<br><br> | |||
About four hundred years prior, the planetoid had been discovered by an Exodus-class starship | |||
<br> | |||
fleeing a dissipating atmosphere on their home world. The ship docked there and established | |||
<br> | |||
"Petorh"... unofficially. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Without documentation or declaration, and with an irregular orbit, within desolate space, | |||
<br> | |||
Petorh wasn't forgotten—for it was never known. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Her world then discovered the planetoid itself, and without knowing of its habitation, used | |||
<br> | |||
the might of NMPGM to swiftly devastate half of it. The result was something like... the | |||
<br> | |||
utilization of dynamite. Half the planetoid was vaporized, and with it went two-thirds of | |||
<br> | |||
the native population. | |||
---- | |||
The Petorhans sought counsel with her world. Sources from Vita's planet lacked records of | |||
<br> | |||
these pleas. Other planets spoke of theories suggesting the involvement of clandestine | |||
<br> | |||
organizations from her world silencing any petitions. The Petorhans formed an alliance with | |||
<br> | |||
an imperial planet, known for adopting cultures at their surrender... | |||
<br><br> | |||
And Vita did remember that. Her world had supposedly engaged in a... "skirmish" on some | |||
<br> | |||
distant edge of space. Supposedly the Imperium had struck force against the forces from her | |||
<br> | |||
world. | |||
<br><br> | |||
However, source, after source, after source from anywhere other than her homeland claimed | |||
<br> | |||
something very different: "Because of the Imperium's alliance with an unregistered group of | |||
<br> | |||
squatters, and in order to eliminate information of their existence/the existence of their | |||
<br> | |||
world's 'mistake', they used the NMPGM to collapse a sector of space, killing the remaining | |||
<br> | |||
Petorhans—and some of the Imperium for good measure". | |||
<br><br> | |||
And while those many sources told this tale, it took two pages from the deepest sections of | |||
<br> | |||
her own world's inter-network to convince her of the truth. | |||
---- | |||
The... beginning of truth: the reality that her neutral world merely wore a neutral mask. In its | |||
<br> | |||
reach for "peace", stories like "Petorh's"... were not at all few in number. Most, even, did not | |||
<br> | |||
begin "accidentally"—and there were some who thought the tale of Petorh, too, had started in the | |||
<br> | |||
same way. | |||
<br><br> | |||
...Naturally, she kept this all to herself. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Naturally, she returned to work when usual working days began once more... | |||
<br><br> | |||
Naturally, she engaged the unknown signal again. | |||
---- | |||
"I am among the last Petorhans," it said. "We only want escape." | |||
<br><br> | |||
From an alliance that had in fact brought them into what amounted to slavery— | |||
<br><br> | |||
From the chaos of this entire galaxy— | |||
<br><br> | |||
From, especially, her planet and its overwhelming reach. | |||
<br><br> | |||
"I heard that they had children minding the pathways. I—we—" the voice stammered, | |||
<br> | |||
"we thought maybe a kid could understand... what people at the top wouldn't ever bother to." | |||
<br><br> | |||
She asked, "What do you want?" | |||
<br><br> | |||
To which the voice replied, "Just one way out. What we... We've heard—this—this part of | |||
<br> | |||
the NMPGM is usually quiet, and we know it's very far out. We could... We have enough | |||
<br> | |||
ships that we could probably find another place with other stars, or..." | |||
---- | |||
The voice told her that during their alliance—really just enslavement—to the Imperium, | |||
<br> | |||
the Petorhans had discovered that the Imperium had been developing technology to spy on | |||
<br> | |||
the minds supporting the NMPGM. They'd stolen that technology, and being so desperate and | |||
<br> | |||
so burned, they had no issue sharing that fact with Vita—who, of course, would need to report | |||
<br> | |||
this information. | |||
<br><br> | |||
But the "alliance" the Petorhans had made with the Imperium now meant nothing. Nothing | |||
<br> | |||
here meant anything; as the voice insisted, they only wanted to escape. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And she could easily grant it. Modern-day ships could travel with almost instantaneous speed, | |||
<br> | |||
especially with the faster-than-light travel provided by the pathways... | |||
<br><br> | |||
One quick opening, and a quick jump—off the record...? | |||
<br><br> | |||
Yeah... | |||
<br><br> | |||
She would allow it. | |||
---- | |||
But—did you know? This is true: | |||
<br><br> | |||
The NMPGM was, in fact, used to collapse a sector of space, killing the remaining Petorhans. | |||
<br> | |||
None at all were left. | |||
---- | |||
Vita's "sight" outside of the pathways could certainly see ships—but could she, with her power, | |||
<br> | |||
identify the KIND of ships? The true, non-vague shape? The size, even? | |||
<br><br> | |||
No. | |||
<br><br> | |||
What could she have known? | |||
---- | |||
When Vita opened the path for "Petorhan" escapees... | |||
<br><br> | |||
...those paths were flooded instead with Imperium warships. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And do you remember how fast ships could move through those paths? | |||
<br><br> | |||
This is also true... | |||
<br><br> | |||
Modern-day ships could travel at an almost instantaneous speed, | |||
<br> | |||
especially with the faster-than-light travel provided by the pathways... | |||
---- | |||
Once the warships had navigated the NMPGM, the attack on her planet was swift, | |||
<br> | |||
thorough, and unable to defend against. | |||
<br><br> | |||
It seemed the Imperium had plenty of intelligence informing them of the locations of | |||
<br> | |||
Psychic bases, as they mostly destroyed those first. | |||
<br><br> | |||
The surface of her world was bombarded quickly. There was little time to react, and in | |||
<br> | |||
a matter of hours, nearly everything had been. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Though they did try— | |||
<br><br> | |||
There was an attempt—to fight back in time, to reach that other signal, to destroy as | |||
<br> | |||
much of the invading fleet as possible— | |||
<br><br> | |||
But, mostly, there was only despair... | |||
---- | |||
Dread... | |||
<br><br> | |||
Self-hate... | |||
<br><br> | |||
Amidst fire, fear, terror, and Hell itself... | |||
<br><br> | |||
They "fought" in a game where their own first move had already sealed their defeat. | |||
<br><br> | |||
A cannon from above marked the position of her base... | |||
<br><br> | |||
...and ended the lives of her, her superiors, and her friends. | |||
---- | |||
... | |||
<br><br> | |||
The girl woke up in a world of white after, with tears brimming in her eyes. | |||
<br><br> | |||
...However, she had no knowledge that might prompt them—no known | |||
<br> | |||
reason in her head for the pain inside her chest. | |||
---- | |||
She was dead, like all of us. She didn't remember, like most of us. | |||
<br><br> | |||
So I wonder what it was she thought of her tears. | |||
---- | |||
I wonder if, as she wiped them away and stood, she felt anything other than sorrow. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Guilt, maybe. Responsibility. | |||
<br><br> | |||
...I don't think that's the case. Or maybe what I mean to say is: she should not feel that way. | |||
<br> | |||
She shouldn't consider herself to have been in the wrong. | |||
<br><br> | |||
After all, what does it even mean to "know"? | |||
<br><br> | |||
What she "knows" now is...nothing. | |||
<br><br> | |||
And...as this story comes to a close, as we think of her getting up and facing the world of glass, | |||
<br> | |||
I think it's very pertinent to ask... | |||
---- | |||
... | |||
<br><br> | |||
...Had she ever known anything else?}} | |||
