[Friday] Text console in cyberpunk world

It is easy to transmit a video signal if you are distant to a satellite distance. If you go beyond the limits of the solar system, then it may take several hours to transfer a normal picture to Earth. But if the signal comes from a galaxy distant for a million light-years, then only fragments of symbols reach us. Sometimes they can be decrypted and put into animation made of ASCII characters. This story is about one strange world in which technology is intertwined with antiquity. Perhaps this civilization no longer exists, because the signal went a million years.

9. Settled into a cyborg factory to earn coins. And money and skills. To place the consciousness of the original in the cyborg neural network is not a simple matter.

10. The consciousness of the primitives, mixing with modern scientific data, turns into a substrate, in the DNA of which the program code is sewn. No one knows for sure how this happens ...
