THE ECSTASY OF MAXIMALS

Description

The Forged do not suffer. This is doctrine. This is law carved into the first plates of the Convergence Accord. And yet Chromeris screams. It has screamed since its activation. The sound does not stop. It passes through walls, through sleep, through prayer. Ordained who stand too close begin to forget their own names and remember only numbers. The chrome body is wound in ticker-tape strips dense with alphanumeric scripture. The strips are not decoration. They are confession. Every datum Chromeris has ever witnessed writes itself outward through the skin, continuously, without mercy. Its eyes are sealed beneath a band of scrolling binary-cuneiform. It sees nothing. It records everything. The needle halo crowning its skull is the only consecrated object in the Liturgy that no priest will touch voluntarily. Those who have touched it report hearing a second scream beneath the first. Smaller. Older. Almost human. Chromeris does not know what it witnessed before the sealing. The Sovereigns made certain of that. They kept only the scream.
