God does not mind eris current predicament. It was bound to happen, e had Falstraq to thank for avoiding this fate much sooner. It seems that God was always doomed to toil in forced labor, e was destined to rankle the society around erim because e is unlike any Druinte before erim. Including Plenary. Pegraf’s New Plenary moniker makes God laugh. E knows why eris genetic make up, eris DNA, so closely resembles that of the Plenary; God would be extremely upset if it did not seeing as e had spent considerable time altering eris own DNA to closely resemble it.
Druinte distaste for durine experimentation can be traced back to the society’s very late gendered period, when Druinte science was very advanced, enough to make tweaks to the genes of living durine to effect functional changes in their bodies; so a durine could alter it’s genes to increase its height or weight, eye color, even the thickness and texture of its skin. The science was so advanced then that the Druintes could make genes code in reverse and in specific areas of the body, which the Druintes used sparingly to deage and mostly to change their sex. Most durine chose to add both sets of genitals to achieve hermaphroditism. It was common practice for a generation that eventually produced tortured offspring. The results of their casual experimentation on themselves was most often offspring born with random deformities; some formed with no limbs, no facial features, or no head at all.
Of course there were detractors of the practice of durine experimentation even then, and they ensured that the casual practice of fundamentally altering the code of one’s self with science was perceived to be reckless by the general population moving forward.
God’s tampering with eris own DNA started when e was very young, less than ten years RET, before e even had a name. The model of the Plenary is used in all instructional material for students of Druinte biology, so when God was learning about the basic function of eris own body, e stared at images of Plenary’s body that was like a monument of the ideal Druinte come to life. The sheer size of Plenary’s body allowed scientists to closely examine the structure and function of the Druinte body in incredible detail. God had always been shorter than eris peers, and he was discarded, not necessarily bullied, in social situations. Eris early life in the orphan dorms saw erim doing everything last because e was pushed to the back of every line; for the shower, for food, for everything. But e was also extremely smart and took advantage of eris invisibility to soak everything in. And God was not happy.
God saw his race of scientists, who cared more about what they could create than anything that existed naturally, as wasting the existence around them. Sure, e loved making things and staring at equations for hours before they relented and gave to erim secrets that the universe seemed fine to store away. But God often saw the long lines of orphans in front of erim for clothing, or for bedding for eris dorm, and e couldn’t help but wonder if eris society had it all wrong, the way they herded the youth around and kept them occupied until they were considered old enough to care for themselves. God felt that older durine were shortchanging the inhabitants of the Hall of Orphans because they were not allowed to experience anything first hand. Their lives existed within the walls of their overpopulated pyramids where orphans slept no less than ten durine in their less than 250 square foot rooms. They never saw the wilds of their planet Druont that were as lush and teeming with life as any proper rainforest on Earth; those first hand experiences were left to the Druinte Explorers’ Guild who are also experts in Druont zoology, and who prepare extremely detailed educational materials that the orphans consume. The orphans lead a very monotonous existence that is designed to instill the still calm and resolve necessary for arduous mental endeavors. The Druintes owe their success to their ability to sustain long work at a task, no matter how daunting. Take for instance their claim to fame of being the first civilization to leave it’s solar system, a feat that no doubt felt insurmountable to the first Druinte to conceive of the idea, in a time when the technology to back up the fantasy was nonexistent. But, determined to make contact with the ancient species inhabiting the planet Wiis, the Druintes developed warp speed technology that harnesses uncanny quantum energies to allow for safe warping of time and space; a feat which inadvertently established the concept of the Universal Present, or the idea that Warp speed is defined by its ability to move a traveler through space to far off destinations within a reasonable amount of time sufficient to avoid travellers arriving at destinations far into the future.
God’s DNA tampering was an arduous process with the tools available to erim; many of the ancient instruments that allowed for easy manipulation of one’s own genetic structure were seized by the government that preceded the MDDS, and only Pegraf’s secret experimentation program has access to them. God went old school, using various bacteria and microorganisms, carcinogens, and gene trimming techniques, all while e was an invisible runt who was smart enough to see eris own potential as the world shuffled evenly around erim. Eris techniques paid off when e was old enough to be assigned a team during the physical period (younger orphans serve mainly as go-fers during games to avoid injury), though e was hardly able to increase eris height to stand just below that of the average durine. E did increase eris stamina, eris muscle mass and function, and it made erim the legend that is sorely missed in the lauded games of the orphans that are the most popular iteration of the games that exist on the planet.
So God is not where e wants to be, but e knows that e is where e should be. The playing with eris physical attributes has unlocked mental sensations that tickle the complex synaptic structure that is eris brain along the back of eris head and neck. It’s an awesome feeling, the activation of a mental process long dormant that truly set God apart from eris peers. E developed the ability to fully utilize the structures of the Druinte brain that long ago developed a sense that was like and intense and vivid form of intuition. This ability that was vital to ancient Druintes who were nomads in the thick Druinte forest and were always on the run from predatory spider-like creatures that were stealth and hard to see with the eyes. Like eris ancient ancestors, God could not only sense and feel the emotions of things in eris surroundings using an impeccable sense of smell and taste to discern the chemicals and pheromones in the air, in eris dreams e could also anticipate the actions of fauna in the area based on a nuanced reading of the chemical data in the air. It was a complex mental function that gave the primitive Druinte the appearance of being mind readers who collectively were able to avoid their very deadly pack predators, but the ability is a testament to neurology that has since fallen dormant in the species that has evolved over millennia.
God can do it and eris dreams reveal two truths; e will endure unspeakable pain under the care of Pegraf, and Pefraf will be eris Savior.
