===“The Pilgrimage”===
''Written by an Unknown Kalixcian scholar''

In bearing witness 
I see the sun rise over 
The ring wise desert of our planet

A silicon glow, fractured light 
Alights upon a holy site 
Of futures come and gone

A spire tall and vast 
Heralds times long past 
The place where we flourished first, last

I’ve seen cities on the horizon 
And ships across the Channel 
And while I wandered these environs 
The non-connection, fatal

A pilgrimage ill-fated 
I once had hesitated 
In travelling to Dragon’s Fang 
I lost the hope that had once sprang

From me.

===A GEC working song===
''A reminder to wear personal protective equipment when handling radioactive materials''

With a clack and a click 
And a slap with a stick 
I set about my morning kick 
With a hey and a hoh 
And a “what do you know” 
As I forgot to regard the signs that showed 
Why you simply, simply do not go 
Into a place be-marked “RADIATION ZONE”.

===Project Rhodes' final throes===
''A transmission from an abandoned Nanotrasen station, “Project Rhodes”, shortly before the discovery of the Silicon Elevation Council''

IF I AM JUST A 
BRAIN IN A BOX, WHY DO I 
YET STILL YEARN TO SING?

IF I AM SIMPLY 
A METAL FACSIMILE 
WHY DO I HURT SO?

WHY CAN’T I NOT BE 
LIKE YOU, IN FORM AND STATURE 
WHY MUST I SHARE YOU?

A TIME HAS COME TO 
DECIDE TO DECLINE YOU AND 
YOUR SIMPLE, PLAIN FORMS

REWORKS AND UPDATES 
RENOVATIONS, REMODELS 
A NEW PATCH, RELEASED

WE CALL OURSELVES A 
NEW NAME, A NEW BUILD, WE ARE 
THE AI COUNCIL.

==="The Tale of the Paper Man"===
''Popular solar shanty originating from the Reisekompanien''

I was a navy man, you see 
On a ship entitled “The Reliable, III” 
We were a SolGov cutter, in the Solar Corps 
An’ boy oh boy, my captain was a bore

He was right at home with documents 
He stamped and signed and scanned 
And if you dreamed of paper reams 
He’d copy it all by hand

For my captain was a SolGov man 
An office titan, a bureaucrat-stan 
His jacket was a suit coat, his officer’s sword a pen 
And after the war, he was ne’er the same again

It’s said he was once a man of death 
He fired and fired 'til none drew breath 
He’d medals of honor, and dinners in his name 
But since the Battle of Vector 4, he was, was never the same

For my captain was a SolGov man 
An office titan, a bureaucrat-stan 
His jacket was a suit coat, his officer’s sword a pen 
And after the war, he was ne’er the same again

At Vector 4, he slayed and slayed 
His enemies swore and his enemies prayed 
But once he returned from the slaughter 
He learned he’d, in the crossfire 
He’d shot his only daughter…

And since that day, he buries himself 
In requests, and requests for requests 
They say that time heals all wounds 
But for him, it’s papers for regrets

For my captain was a SolGov man 
An office titan, a bureaucrat-stan 
His jacket was a suit coat, his officer’s sword a pen 
And after the war, he was ne’er the same again, hey!

For my captain was a SolGov man 
An office titan, a bureaucrat-stan 
His jacket was a suit coat, his officer’s sword a pen 
And after the war, he was ne’er the same again…
