Background
Episode description
Deep in the Crashyards of Gift-3, Signet, Even, and Echo have been sent by Cascara and Seneschal's Brace to locate and secure a "stitch" in space, a place where two of the Nine Idylls of the Quire system connect as if by magic. Once secured, they are to lead a small group of refugees through that stitch, beginning the long and necessary effort of reconnecting the broken Tides of Harmony. But before they can lead anyone anywhere, they need to get back from their reconnaissance mission… and the drones of Advent Discovery & Salvage and the strange mechanical beasts of Gift-3’s wilds aren’t going to make it easy.
This week on Twilight Mirage: Along A Route
Two mopeds racing through the forest
Making dirt clouds on a path, on a path
Cold open
“
High above the world of Gift-3, caught in the saffron shade of today's Mirage, the L shape of a single massive arm hovers in orbit, bolted in a frame of metal, people the size of specks moving across its length, lit in its shadow by the flash of welding torches. It is the arm of Gumption, once left in the center of Composure's Coliseum, on the ship of Seance. It now serves as a constant symbol of hope to the Mandati who dream of bringing their divine back.
The camera slowly pans down, and below, the planet bustles with activity. Short-hop transport ships dot the sunset sky as caravans transport daily hauls from the outskirts to the cities of Big Garage and Seiche. Smoke rises from open air barbecues, and in the distance there is a sound something like a cross between an old fuel engine and a lion's roar.
We follow that noise and it leads us to the crashyards, the final resting place of all the technology that is or that might be: ships planted nose first in the dirt and sand, hills of discarded consumer electronics topped by dozens of flickering digital assistants with no one to help. Long, high stacks of personal vehicles, entertainment displays and old replicator machines have turned the flats into canyons. And moving through one such gulch are the excerpt Signet, the pilot Even Gardner and the pathfinder Echo Reverie.”
