Introduction to the Six Sacred Shrike Shrines
If you can hear me again
Hyperion has been known since its early colonization days for this place we would be looking at here
The Six Sacred Shrike Shrines in the Valley of the Time Tombs of Hyperion
So the main things you'll probably remember from the literature and all the major interstellar news are just what a unique place the Time Tombs were
This was where the Church of the Final Atonement unleased and or worshiped the Shrike and it did all the Anti- Entropic heebie- jeebie stuff they talk about- even all them cultists and scientists...they just go nuts for that stuff
I figure if it don't affect me, I just don't have a big stake in whatever the outcome might be
I am truly small potatoes in a very big field
So anyway- these modern contrivances don't have to follow strict rules where you woulda lost three years as a time debt
Man oh man, those people sure had the true sense of adventure to make sacrifices like that
Lotsa stuff here and I wish I could have you linger longer but except for the weird feeling you get from anomalous magnetic forces, that's all you are gonna get here at this time
Now that's a real-life time punishment of the here and now
From dry to poison- it's off we go...buckle up
