"It's sad," Derek Lambron said earnestly, yet without a trace of sorrow. A physicist-inventor. A loner. Yet, an honored guest at our SRI.
Calling him a loner is quite relative, of course. He utilizes the efforts of entire laboratories, just like all scientists who aspire to achieve something significant. But Derek lives alone, not in the Science Town, but in Firokami itself, working solo without even assistants. Who knows what deamons help him.
Only when he participates in an experiment as a honorary guest, is he provided with a support group.
In our routine operations, we grapple with the problem of immortality. Or rather, I misspoke; immortality isn't the problem, death is. In Firokami, lifespans stretch for several centuries, yet even after those, people neither wish to age nor die. Why would they, if life is such that one would like to live forever? Death is a desired outcome only for those who find no place in life. But in Firokami there are many things to do besides death.
Derek discovered something in his observations and came to share the phenomenon with us.
Like Lodge Cutter (the doctor and owner of the Clinic for Innovation and New Forms of Life), he has the ability to transcend boundaries, to gaze upon the source of life, to bring back the deads—in short, a formidable physicist.
"Yep, it's sad," I agreed, looking at the creature whose glowing tentacles hung lifelessly around, only one was stretched taut like a string.
"When I found him, there were three streams left. In one life, it was a non-communicative; in another, a disabled being; in the third, a beetle," Derek explained, "Now, only the beetle remains. The beetle could die at any moment. I came so we could observe together..."
"Complete death," I said.
"Not necessarily. I still advocate the idea that there is no death," Lambron stated calmly and seriously, "We shall see what happens to the creature upon... let's say, the complete death of attention."
Yes, I was invited to observe the complete death of attention of a living being.
