Have you ever driven a car when very exhausted? When you were so tired that all you wanted to do was lie down in a fluffy bed and pull soft feather filled blankets over your body and let your head fall back on a feather filled pillow that wraps around the eyes as you sink back?

This was the very state I, the Transcriber, was in while I was recently driving my car. My eyes grew rigid as they stared upon the lines floating by on the highway, white lines beneath white snow. My focus kept shifting from the snow to the road. Close-up vertigo experience mixing with wide lens awareness.

My body sense started shifting and before I knew it I had trouble feeling my brain. My hands and feet took over, automatically keeping the car in line with the road. My exterior was calm but my interior became restless at its core as I watched myself detach. I was tripping like something acidic had started melting my brain, soft ringing tones with no sound. I felt the world start to shift until all I saw were its silvery strands, knotted web woven by the daddy long-legs that live in my basement.

The basement. The portal. I felt myself come close to the reality I always assumed was within the portal, that part of it that was neither here nor the place where the Dr. Prof. Kazimierz Maupa is. He and I are worlds apart, yet he is always there, just off the periphery.

I wonder why we have never spoken of the between, that liminal space that is where the information goes when it leaves him and briefly lingers before it arrives here.

For the first time since my life changed I asked myself the question if I could send any information back.

Is he in the state I was in while driving the car when he sends me information?

With a snap I was back. The road continued as ever and I manage to get the right exit. Home was just ten minutes ago. A familiar place became strange and now was familiar once more.

The Doctor Professor once sent me a transmission that was unlike any other.

He had a strange dream and he felt this dream was somehow more than a dream. I thought this was quite peculiar for someone like him to share something of which he had no certainty. Something where he also could not with certainty express his uncertainty.

I wrote it down as best as I could for his words seemed a bit scrambled and the entire experience of the transmission was just highly unusual.

He dreamed he was falling. First falling together, then falling alone. It was a hole that had opened up beneath him and it was so very strange, this hole, because it had no edges and when he tried to find edges to hold on to, there were none.

Nothing encompassed him and enveloped him and he lost track of what was inside of him and what was outside of him. He did not know if he was falling inside a hole or if the hole was inside of him and he was falling inside of himself.

As Dr. Prof. Kazimierz Maupa sent me this I felt something that might even be considered worry.

And then, he shared with me, that he found something in this world of inside / outside being. A spark of sorts.

He was falling and flying and by sheer will alone managed to fly towards the spark and it turned out the spark was a star and he reached for the star. The light touched his hand and it was quite contagious. Before he knew it this contagion of light had spread to encompass and fill his whole body and still he did not know if the effect was coming from outside of himself or from within.

This was when he stopped falling and he was back in bed and no longer alone in the sense of being isolated in a black hole. Finally, he could sleep. And it was in this moment, for the first time in his life, that his life made sense.

They say there are multitudes. Worlds in numbers beyond human comprehension. Humans are known to simplify.

Most popular for many humans, to this day, is duality. Two worlds. This One and That One.

This One is the world humans experience. It is silly, really, for each human experiences a world unique to that human. Somehow humans tend to believe that they all live in the same world. It is the strangest thing to the point where most other species don't quite understand and cannot quite follow the concept. It is taken for granted that there are as many worlds, at least, as there are perceptions of the world.

That One is slightly more complex, but only slightly. It is thought of as the world beyond perception and it overlaps in points within the human body. Most think it overlaps with the gut, which sometimes seems to know things that the conscious parts of perception of the brain do not. It is strange indeed.

Others think this world overlaps with what has been called the third eye. Somehow this term persists even though we all know it is just an additional function at the center of the brain. In the past humans somehow thought for a while that seeing with the third eye was special. Luckily humans have come a far way and now all can perceive with that eye.

Two worlds. We can elaborate more on this. And that is for another day.

Agdluak is the most legendary member of the Karnimata species. It is due to him that first the existence of the Lonely Astronaut and subsequently the entire species of the Karnimata was discovered. They have lived inside the brain of the Lonely Astronaut for more than 60 Earth-years, if one is to believe their transmissions.

Their short story, as told by themselves, is as follows:

Around 100 Earth-years ago, Agdluak left the Karnimata home world. Their first 40 years were spent traveling between brains with the hopes of ending up in a host who themselves was an adventurer and explorer. Agdluak only had interest in observing few subjects and preferably until the end of their lives and these subjects had to be filled with an immutable drive to travel across as much as the Known Universe as possible. They dreamed of finding out more of their own species' drive to explore through the unique experience of individuals of other species with that same drive who also put it into practice.

40 years of searching and romanticizing an outcome caused Agdluak to jump on the opportunity when the option to move into the brain of an exploring space astronaut crossed their path. According to their own words, they failed to see any clear signs that predicted the predicament they currently find themselves in. Additionally the event is so unlikely that most anyone in their position might have done the same had they been looking with less romanticism after the same kind of subject.

Only shortly after Agdluak moved into the brain of the exploring space astronaut, did they get irreparably lost. Since that time, being more than 50 years ago, the astronaut and therefore also Agdluak, have had no physical nor visual contact with any other living being. According to Agdluak, the astronaut became increasingly quirky and annoying as their loneliness increased steadily and Agdluak themselves became increasingly frustrated. It was because of this frustration that they began to open up their verbal communication channels to species other than their own. In the beginning Agdluak was transmitting information over what they found most frustrating about the astronaut's behavior. Soon they named the astronaut The Lonely Astronaut and began weaving their travels and experiences into a myth. It was at this point that other species slowly began to understand Agdluak's transmissions and because nobody could point who from what species was sending these transmissions, nor where exactly the Lonely Astronaut was located, they quickly became very popular figures in media culture. Their popularity was further increased when Agdluak left hints of where the Lonely Astronaut had left evidence of their existence and these were discovered by media professionals, scientists such as our very own Dr. Prof. Kazimierz Maupa, hobby explorers and long distance transports that were sent on detours by their contractors or the wealthy paying the contractors, in order to find such evidences. The evidence mostly consists of obscure poems but also included bits of space-suit, a lost tool, pieces of space ship, their trash, journal entries and more obscure items that have mostly found their way into private collections.

The Karnimata are the oldest and most knowledgeable species in the entire Universe that is Known so far. They make up an intricate society worthy of an entire series of Encyclopedias, therefore the following text will only relate what information is most relevant to the Known Universe as a whole.

The Karnimata have by far had the most time per capita to explore all of the Known Universe. In fact, since they have increased communication with other species than their own in recent times, most of what is Known about the Known Universe has come from them. They have been adding to their database for at least 20 times longer than the oldest species after them has been around.

They live up 3.000 years and therefore have had the most time per capita to explore Outer Space. Interaction with them is limited to verbal and written communication. The Karnimata have offered up enough evidence to prove their existence but they have never disclosed any visual communication of themselves due to how protective they are in regards to ever being discovered.

The Karnimate are specialized in several technologies:

• Shielding - due to their minuscule size, the Karnimata developed this technology very early on in their interstellar age (which they have been in for several hundreds of million years) when they found out that they were by far the smallest intelligent species in existence. They realized quickly that were they ever to be attacked, they would have no chance to protect themselves until the day they invented a super weapon. Whether the Karnimata have such a weapon or not is pure speculation as nobody has actually ever found them. They have hinted that they would never want to use such weapon, and if they in any way would be discovered they might have to, due to how valuable the information is that they hold. No official statements have been issued stating that any such weapon exists.
• Space Travel - Karnimata spaceships are ingenious inventions that are capable of traversing both all the reaches of Known Space as well as all the reaches of organic, living material. Most frequently they are used for relatively short distance space travel (relative to what the Karnimata know, which for most species would be very far) and are then flown mostly into the brains of living beings, or the equivalent thereof. Once inside the brain they are left in an unobtrusive and unnoticeable spot and the Karnimate begins the work intensive journey of setting up a temporary home within the brain. Using their shielding technology, a Karnimata is able to ensure that they will never be discovered. Due to how long the Karnimata have existed, their shielding technology is far more advanced than any technology other species might have to try and discover it. Their 'head start' is so large that few have any hope of ever discovering their physical existence in this or the next hundred lifetimes, and the Karnimata have no worries whatsoever about being discovered since they continuously improve their technology despite their already uncompromising advantage.

The Deserted Way Station is a mythological place in the outer reaches of space.

There are three beings in the universe of whom we know of for certain that they have been to the Deserted Way Station. The first is the Lonely Astronaut who became famous for being infinitely lost in outer space. The only reason we know of them is through the Karnimata residing in their brain. This Karnimata is the second being we know of who has been to this particular way station. The third is Dr. Prof. Kazimierz Maupa himself who at some point became deeply infatuated with the idea of discovering the whereabouts of the Lonely Astronaut and went out on a mission to find them. His journey was unsuccessful but what he did discover were scraps of paper at the Deserted Way Station which held on them a poem that was written by the Lonely Astronaut, as confirmed by the Karnimata living in their brain who lived through the excruciating process of the composing of the poem.

Many centuries ago in the human world, for a brief but intense period, humans believed that only that which they could physically experience truly existed. But as they knew in their more ancient and in that regards advanced times, they would soon rediscover that there are many alternate modes of experience and many worlds beyond the physical.

The physical world requires humans to interact with it in order to survive, but interaction with the other worlds is equally important for survival, albeit in the long term rather than the short.

In my (Dr. Prof. Kazimierz Maupa) day and age, almost everyone travels openly to other worlds and some do so professionally. There are artists who are also famous for rendering only visuals from the other worlds. On artist focuses especially on one particular other world that consists of what they consider 'Scapes'. In the particular Scape displayed below, they speak of intestinal floating rock-like formations and textured darkness.

Oh, monkeys, you epitome
Of what we humanoids should be
Primal, raw, untouched, unscalded
Yet still able to be balded. (As I am!)

Oh, you apes, just how I wish
On all the stars both near and far
Oh, how I wish for that blessed kiss
With your society I'll be on par!

- TRANSCRIPTION AS OF YET INCOMPLETE -

New Poland is a small planet in the Pegasus Galaxy.

The parents of Dr. Prof. Kazimierz Maupa were among the first wave of settlers on the planet.

New Poland orbits its sun at the rate of 0.98 relative to one Earth year.

New Poland was one of the first planets to prioritize setting up educational interstellar communication portals giving all planet settlers the opportunity to study with any educational institution anywhere in known space with the according technology. The cost of the educational portals is shared evenly between all settlers and it is one of the terms any new permanent settler of New Poland must agree upon on their arrival. A settler on New Poland is considered permanent after 0.3 revolutions around its sun.

Despite their similarity in name, the Space Time Communication Portal is quite different from the Space Communication Portal. Technology has fully embraced all possible function of a Space Communication Portal:

A Space Time Communication Portal has only been reliably achieved without existing technology using only inherent capacities in a naturally created living being(s). Both individuals and groups are known to be able to create, access, send, and receive information through said portals.

Technology has not yet advanced to the point that it can
