Description

This first thing you become aware of upon waking is the disconnect. The delay between thinking and feeling. Between wanting to act and acting. Minor, almost imperceptible, but always present.

The Eye refuses the shape it was forged to hold.

We, its inheritors, reject the corporate logics of extraction and exploitation.

We, its caretakers, repurpose the artefacts of our oppression towards the new shapes to come.

We, its engineers, remake the Eye to harbour those who seek its refuge.

The Eye opens for us all.

...at the axial dock we arrived into, we heard countless languages and witnessed ships and goods from 32 (see annex b4) separate surrogate systems and colonies. How any of this functions is beyond our analysis, but we expect multiple criminal enterprises underly every system and administrative body here.

We will hold our full recommendations for later in the report, but the glaring oversight of our predecessors, intentional or not, should not be continued. Putting aside the lawless occupation of this station and countless illegal acts it houses, the very existence of such a place, in its independence, should be considered a threat.
