Chapter Six: Indifference
The Observers were not free agents. They were on a mission. They served
their brothers and sisters in the Collective.
What was most important to the Collective was the flow of
existential/experiential data through which they vicariously constructed the
worlds they dwelt in, their individuated bubbles within the quantum field.
The Observers were sent out into the galaxy by the Continuum and
represented its will. They were on a mission.
Even though the Continuum was itself an amalgamation of the Collective,
unbeknownst to the Collective, the Continuum was a being with a will of its
own.
It believed that it was itself, the divine concrescence of all
consciousness. The Continuum sought to gather every shred of it into itself.
Like a hungry god, it desired to consume everything.
As such, the Observers were sent into the galactic Empire, sent on
missions to find every last trace of the colonies and outposts that the
children of the Ancients established in the ages before the Continuum, to
either destroy them, or bring them in.
The Observers lived on the observed world’s and represented a means of
control. Most of the Observers carried out their mission following strict
guidelines. They did this in exchange for the freedom to dwell in an embodied
state, to make their work easier, emotional capacities were engineered out of their
bodies. Strong emotions complicated the work that they did; and spared the Collective
from being conditioned empathetically by being exposed to volatile and disruptive
feelings.
The bodies of the Observers were engineered to be indifferent, to be
obedient, and to obey the Continuum.
