From Panoptemitry: With a goal as high and lofty as the unspecified pursuit of knowledge, there may not be a clear point at which to stop. Acting as one has been taught to can seem to hold just as much purpose as the actual reason for taking those actions. When the growth of technology begins to hold the same powers as religious doctrine has declared divine, does the simple recording of events become blasphemous? Whos to say we even understand that so-called divinity? On a research mission to provide information for a great galactic computer network (called S.Y.M.A.C.), Emilija Lithuan and her assistants run up against the higher ranks of the Caytalan Church. The punishment that these religious leaders try to stick them with, could possibly have a greater effect than was ever intended. When their escape saddles them with a famous outlaw, a careful reassessment of what is right and wrong cant be avoided. How much of what is common knowledge is even actually true? And if its not, just how much percieved reality is built upon a lie?
