I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
Now I'm wondering if whoever is on Goon Patrol at CIG will tell Sandi about this immediately, or wait until Monday.

First our client manages to somehow stimpire two three accounts together, then accuses us of merging them automatically by name (WTF?).
Then foursquare connect decides to bork out and starts skipping the login dialogue and redirecting back with broken tokens.
Then my Skype dies mid meeting call and spews out this:

Then after a restart this:

Well, the story of Ben is terrifying. In an attempt to spare myself some of the horror, I've been inspired to continue the madness I've been writing:

___



The legal teams picked over the ruins of the Cloud Empire, digging through the assorted shipping containers in the hope of finding something concrete. Sadly for them, all there was inside was melancholy and a vague hint of despair. Many of the cultists had dispersed, the majority following their new saviour before he vanished in a puff of vapour. The rest, the truly dedicated, were being taken by specialists in an attempt to have them deprogrammed and possibly even return them to society as productive human beings. In the long term, of course. After a while of fruitless searching, one of the haz-matted professionals waved to his assistant.

"Frank... check this out, bring the camera. It's the first bit of definitive text we've found here."

The assistant plodded over, keep in an eye on the teetering stacks of containers around him as they swayed worryingly in the increasing wind. Devoid of dreams, some had begun to rust away alarmingly quickly. Still, his attention was drawn by the text scrawled on the side of a container, evidently in a hurry: 'The Stimpire rises.' The camera shutter snapped shut from various angles as Frank got to work documenting the site.

---

Earlier, aboard the Cloud Empire.

Far away from the heart of the Empire the cultists gathered. In the vast depths of the glorious structure airborne structure, they were still surrounded by ivory and gold but to a rather lesser degree than the gilded heights occupied by the Fantasising Four. They were permitted to gather here in their fora but only so long as it was inconsequential - be not mistaken, the Powers That Be merely regarded them as a fuel supply, their dreams being turned directly into the power that forged the Empire via the power of damned promises and poison words. They smiled, all the time. To do otherwise would be to attract the attention of the patrolling enforcement drones. So long as no questions were asked, they could congregate and praise the Empire as much as they pleased... the rumour about the man who praised alcohol instead of the Empire being hurled overboard was still at the forefront of their minds. Not everything was quite harmonious, however. In a corner of the forum, trafficked by people who petitioned their masters for more promises, one particular citizen put up a long screed.

He had awakened the night before, mind ablaze with the dream and the potential for what must be. Dark whispers chattered and burrowed into his mind as he wrote down his dream like an uninterrupted Coleridge struck with divine inspiration. In the harsh light of the new morning, he stared at the truths he had written. With swelling horror, he knew them to be good and sickening; here was a codex of a new faith, a dark mirror to the insanity of the Empire. Emerging from his wank pod, he staggered forth into the golden light that illuminated every shining corridor, still possessed with the worst kind of holy fervour. Lurching past the numerous sofas and stairlifts that littered the wide corridors, he found the fixed smile that would normally automatically appear on his face replaced by a genuine smile. Entering the forum, he placed the maddened screed up for the entire Empire to behold, he was finally freed of both sets of madness and neither the Empire nor the truths could hold him now. Now, he needed grenades. So many of them...

The screed itself passed un-noticed for a while, some passers by reading the first few lines and wondering what the hell was wrong with the writer, but none felt the truths sinking in. The Cloud Empire was hardly a place for truths, after all. Eventually, an enforcement drone read it and, after replacing its optical sensors, tore it from the wall before casting it down off of the side of the Empire.

---

Far, far below, away from the dreams and the madness, the goons remained belligerent and numerous. From their numerous forts and fiefdoms, they battled amongst each other and against the other peoples of the battle-scarred land in the name of their own amusement. The group that found themselves camped in front of Dr. Smart's dread fortress were tired for the moment; the warlord had retired for the moment and the next shipment of air-horns was a while away. Soon, they would have to begin tearing each other apart solely to keep the amusement flowing. Into this mix, the grim and sickening truths fell, the paper being picked up by a few of the goons and pored over. They laughed and passed it amongst themselves, but the seed had been planted in their minds.

Oh yes. Here the truths could find purchase and be born anew into the world.
