Something weird happened today morning. I woke up feeling like the barrier between two worlds had been breached, like something very wrong and evil had happened. I had gone to sleep listening to a podcast. We were a bunch of people in a room listening to this guy talking. It was about all life in the universe being in the form of information, but the information was encoded within the fabric of spacetime itself. 

I woke up with the stale, salty taste, something that happens after a migraine attack. The dream was similar in some ways to another one I had a few days back, like as if Im on a different track only, and dealing with something very important, and universally fundamental. 

I went back to office and listened to the podcast, because the memory of the dream vanished rapidly as soon as I woke up. I even turned off the podcast and went back to sleep in an attempt to recover it, but I dreamt of something entirely different in round two. Im short-circuiting or hacking the sleep cycles, to see how it goes. Going to sleep at 11:00, with an alarm for 04:30, and another alarm for 7:00. Then, I can put in another sleep cycle or get some work done before going to office. 

No clue why I am doing this, just to give some more time for myself in the mornings I guess. Feels right tho.

 We were taken to a long tree and we were all separated. We talked to each other psychically. We run out of spell slots. The people on the island knew all our secrets and suspect us of killing the captain. All my stuff is taken away. We are taken to govt building where we are charged. 

You are charged with the murder of Ker Dumas, leaving monastic part, consumption and illegal trade of drugs, murdering civilians, captain grotto, our case would be heard three days later and the captain would be getting in touch with us.

The universe is mostly gas. Hydrogen, helium, lil bit of lithium. All of these make your voice high pitched, along with mostly beneficial side effects. In the pristine, early universe, vast clouds of mostly hydrogen collapsed directly into the first black holes, forming the superstructure of the universe in its first instant. Most of creation consisted of equal portions of matter and antimatter, with an infinitesimally miniscule amount surviving some primordial instability, a kick that created a universe fundamentally out of balance. 

The biosphere was born instantly. Under the heat and pressure of a universe unexpanded over time, the habitable conditions were ambient. Liquid water could exist in space, but the only problem was, there was no oxygen. After most of creation annihilated each other, the remaining clouds of hydrogen collapsed into the first supermassive black holes. The first galaxies sparkled up in the infalling matter. Their stars cooked oxygen, and died young after living fast. The spores of life were seeded at the dawn of time.

The Orient Scholastic Institute Library is located on the 29th floor of Zenith Tower on Senapati Bapat Marg, nestled among the skyscrapers of Lower Parel. The bags are scanned at the lobby, and visitors are issued photo ID cards. There is an additional security check on the 29th floor, where visitors have to deposit electronics before being allowed to enter. The entire floor is sealed off from the outside with thick concrete walls. There are no windows. The library looks like the inside of a bank vault, housing a tremendous collection of unique documents containing ancient and potent wisdom. The text is inked, painted or scratched across a wide variety of surfaces, including tree bark, rolls of cloth, strips of palm leaves, copper plates, bamboo slices and paper. Most are in critically endangered languages, some studied only in academic circles, and a few in long forgotten ones, unsupported by unicode. 

In 2014, the library initiated a digitisation drive. The idea was to provide access to all the documents through computers and the internet. Scanners were procured, along with hard drives. Volunteer members went through the laborious process of digitising the documents. An expert team carefully edited out the cracks, holes, tears, folds and mould as and when they were scanned. A tech bro offered funds to the library to host a publicly accessible copy of the entire collection, and in 2019 purchased the rights for using the entire text corpus to train a large language model. A supercomputing cluster in Balkum chewed through the documents, resulting in the Thane Creek drying up. In 2025, a multimodal LLM was launched, OSILbot. The first user was an early adapter, a technology enthusiast who went to the gym on the third floor of Zenith Tower. His time was precious and he wanted a tl:dr of the whole library. He asked OSILbot to summarise everything it knew.

So just finished watching The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar very randomly in the middle of the night, while pausing the Voyager binge. I just loved how the whole story was narrated, blending sets and reality. The stupid trick of using a box painted with the colours of the floor to indicate levitation was brilliant and funny. I don't know how a movie can be so wholesome and wickedly funny at the same time. 

The presentation was like the best way to read the book. Ayoade was a bit self-conscious though, but it was cool to see him as an Indian. I really liked how they used the same actors for multiple roles. This movie was so fresh, but still so Wes. 

The jank is building up in my bedroom, need to fix it. Also need to fix all the lights in the house. Time for another clean-up operation. Thing is I cannot even call in professional cleaners because the sockets for them are burnt through. However, I did manage to clean up the house to a great extent one weekend, just need to do that again. 

Next week is going to be eventful.

I am sleepy, but I updated my site. IDK why I was a bit too restless today. I intended to go to office but didn't. Still slept a lot and wrote a bunch of stories. For the site as well. Japan's iSpace crashed its second lander today. Elon went nuclear on Trump in the morning, bit of an Axiom 4 scare there, I shared a Boeing meme a few hours before Starliner began trending. I wrote a story about star lifting, its fascinating way to extend the lives of stars. I didn't even get to the main topic I wanted to write about, Lazarus Stars. At the same time in the morning, Senate provided discretionary funds to save Gateway, SLS/Orion, but not the Mars Sample Return Mission, tho it cleared a Mars relay orbiter. 

A bunch of NASA extended missions are at Mars and the Moon. Curiosity might shut down. Davinci and Veritas are also gone. Dragonfly and Roman might survive. Chandra, Fermi, Juno, Osiris-Apex, New Horizons are all under threat. Juno hurts the most because it is the most distant operational planetary orbiter. 

Have to see how things turn out. I had a positive approach, waiting to see final decision, but things are looking dire. I hope the data availability channels are not compromised. NOAA and NHS are seeing cuts too. IDC about NHS in all of this lol.

Had gone to the Asus office today, got out there quickly, but spoke to all the PR team members for the first time. Left there quickly though, as I got there early. Then took a long nap, and in the evening got on the call for the Axiom 4 press conference. My question was not picked, I was a bit miffed and anxious for a bit wondering why. I guess it is because it was a generic question. This was a minor setback, will see if I can get an opportunity to pose that question again in the future. Making myself feel a bit better thinking at least I got an answer from SpaceX last time. 

There are a lot more people covering second hand info, even when there is an opportunity for people to get the info first hand. The official X handle of Axiom Space itself is not showing too many engagements.. which is a bit sad. 

Also learned that the NASA Juno mission may be one of the culled extended programmes by Trump's skinny budget. I like that one because it has a great outreach component. Still, have to wait and watch.

We speak to the crew and figure that it is going to take two days to go to lemon tollard. Creek tries to take the help of the crew to figure what happened. Creek tries to talk to Mason about snackks stash. Tsui takes a swim underwater to check out the environment. Tsui just sees barnacles, right into sunlight shining into their private parts. She signals creek. 1319 scries on the manacles, sees the body of the cap in the hold. We know a very sharp weapon was used to cut the flesh. 

On the night of the third day, the tree we saw many days ago was very tiny, it grows bigger and bigger till we see the largest tree I've ever seen. It is almost as large as a mountain. To get to the tree, we need to go around an island in the north and the south. We reach Lemon Tollard late in the night. There are lots of ships of different shapes and sizes. Creek remembers a whole bunch of places, where we have taken swimming. We see a lot more races here, including tritons.

 We found that the captain Grotto had been murdered, and Pyro had been injected and stabbed. The happy time did not go quite as planned. Pyro came under a localised zone of truth, and was forced to divulge everything about why they are where they are. Figwit was on crow's nest. Once Pyro divulged to the assassins that another person connected to the duergar was on board, two of the assassins left the captain and went away somewhere. The assassins talked to Gushti and went away, 1319 and Tsui follow the assassins. Tsui and 1319 hear sex noises from the cabin, but it is actually Pyro being beaten up or something. Everyone rushes upstairs and the assassin in the cabin disappears in a puff of smoke that smells like sulphur. When we go back, we see Gushti is killed as well. Pyro speaks to the dead bodies in the hold, we only get the name of the merchant who had hired the boats to put in the crates Thorin Mur. The assassins had sneaked aboard using these crates. 

Gushti was told to help these people because of the Barabedroar, the CIA of the dwarves. The shadow dwarves who operate in the dark. We scry the dwarf sleeping at home. We cannot figure out the nature of the Runic stone blasting out sex noises. We see a massive tree faraway in the distance on the horizon.
