The Remaining Records of Curiosity

The Remaining Records of Curiosity are a series of excerpts from Curiosity's records used for the descriptions of several early episodes of Twilight Mirage, alternating with the Living Library of Memorious, up to Twilight Mirage 16: An Approximation of a Connection.

The Remaining Records of Curiosity // Reference Code: P-Qu75-42-PP The Painted Plateaux A range of desert tablelands with colors drifting from pink to orange. The sand, whisked by hard, high winds. A dark movement. A bird.
The Remaining Records of Curiosity // Reference Code: R-Qu75-35-RC1228 Remnant Church #1228 A pneumatic hum. A tower, hollow. A bell, cracked, laying on the ground. Thick wooden slats bolted together to act as doors. Above, a sunk relief of a globe, not inscribed by any known means.
The Remaining Records of Curiosity // Reference Code: M-Qu75-4:53N-SV Silica-Vitrus The sprawling dunes. Dust under foot. Churning endlessly. Stateless—and of two states. Energetic, yet at rest. Waiting. Ready. A mumbled word: “Glass.”
The Remaining Records of Curiosity // Reference Code: V-Qu75-35-CGS Crown of Glass Saint A grotesque figure of a body, with glass heart and empty head. An echo of an unknown history. Sand splashes up in waves as it runs. Eight fingers. Only a single will.
The Remaining Records of Curiosity // Reference Code: A-Qu75-27-ASC A Sprawling City A vast glass dome. Darkened streets and buildings. Twisting pipes. Parks, tower blocks, tenement buildings, malls. The shadow of my drones.
The Remaining Records of Curiosity // Reference Code: V-Qu75-57-QGB Quire Ground Berry Glistening purple skin. A stretched membrane, filled with thick juice. Dirt. A soft stream, a light touch. The sound of a small motor. Then a sip.
The Remaining Records of Curiosity // Reference Code: B-MW-SA/PA-GBSS-SAGE Humans A raising voice. A hand on neck. A kaleidoscope of variation: Seemingly endless colors, shapes, arrangements; yet limited. Erratic, but predictable. Unsure, but committed. A sigh. A kiss.
The Remaining Records of Curiosity // Reference Code: P-Qu75-25-SL Swamplands Plash and murmur. A dense clay, its shape lost. Battling caws from birds nearby. The indentation of footprints. Mushrooms, insects, and a small mammal, unwilling to eat what is here. A beating heart.
