Bathed in fire, baptised in horror, / a new breed of death is born of the old, / A Mother resigned to her savage fate, / An alien child is death incarnate. (See also with text version) The adventurous reader may be aware of the creature featured in the ‘Alien’ series of films. Few, however, are aware of the real-life personae of this theatrical invention. But here now, for the first time on this planet, I present the history and lineage of the real-life creature that is called “Morboae”. Morboae (pl) are natives of the planet Narcisyum in the as-yet undiscovered galaxy of Gorton. Undiscovered, I should add, by earth – but well known and well avoided by other civilized worlds. Morboae are the correct name for the creature that is birthed in this image. In presenting the history of the Morboae, it is essential to give – albeit sparingly – some account of it’s parentage – the Lithegoths. This is especially so since the birth of the species Morboae marked the end of the species Lithegoths. Evolution is a cruel and heartless director of fortunes. The Lithegoths were a relatively docile species of almost dinosaur-like physique. The Lithegoths bore a startling resemblance (to you humans) to the grotesque offspring of a Coelophysis and a duck. Though carnivorous, they were not voracious in their pursuit and killing of other creatures. They hunted and ate for survival, and when not hungry were quite approachable by almost any other creature. In contrary to both Coelophysis and ducks, however, they bore live young, and reared them with a love and tenderness almost unheard of anywhere in the known galaxy. It is sad, therefore, due to some unforseen and certainly uncalled for stroke of evolution, that these relatively peaceful creatures would suddenly, and in as little as the equivalent of 2 earth years, give birth to – and be devoured by – their own offspring – the Morboae. As Narcisyum was unsettled (though occasionally visited by biological observation teams) there is no known cause of the sudden mutation of the young Lithegoths. All that is known is that instead of the Lithegoth young being born through the female birth canal, suddenly – and violently – the Morboae burst straight from the stomach and – with a ferocity which is almost beyond even today’s jaded belief – they immediately lauched themselves into their parents (Lithegoths) faces and devoured them. So was born the race that was to be known as the Morboae – the devourers. Within 2 earth years, there were no Lithegoths alive and the Morboae roamed the planet. The Morboae reproduction cycle was completely different to their Lithegoth parentage. They utilized an three-stage reproduction cycle – begining with egg-like incubators (called Truks). These hatched into a mobility-oriented creature (the Placusii) which then used live animal incubation to produce the final stage of Morboae life form. Contrary to popular belief they retained at least the attributes of male and female, with both being sexually active. Eggs, therefore, could be found anywhere and everywhere. Unlike the Lithegoth, the final-cycle Morboae are voracious in their hunting and killing. Any creature they manage to catch is torn to pieces in a matter of seconds (including the Maxidontal Arionis – the toughest of the Hamilbest octoped pack beasts). The hosting creature in the third reproductive phase could be virtually anything above 23 drilums (about 25 kilograms). As a consequence, in less than 5 years the entire animal population was dead other than Morboae. This is where the story should end. A dead planet, a dead-end in evolution. This is where story should end. But it does not. Because Morboae in the egg-phase can live for many millions of earth years. And planets are no so isolated as human beings seem to think. Morboae could have escaped Narcisyum by many means – the unlucky botanist, the occasional tourist and so forth. But in reality, they escaped that planet and have now taken over most of Gorton (the galaxy) because of greed. Greed, you see, is not purely a human trait. A group of interstellar profiteers discovered that the Morboae made exceptionally fine eating. It was hailed as the gourmet discovery of the era. Morboae eggs were shipped far and wide across the galaxy and consumed in all of the best houses and star liners that could afford the prices. As it is written in the Contrata Do Riortae – “Life shall find a way”. (tr Treos) The Morboae reproductive cycle infected many transports, sending many cargo transfer ships into uncontrolled crashes on to populated, and barren planets. And so, even now, the Morboae lives on. The dead end of evolution spews forth into the universe until everything is consumed. This is the history and lineage of the Morboae as told by the History Records of the United Biological Defence Corporation.

Sumerian text / Are they a clue / To thoughts perplexed / By Nibiru / / Planet so far / We can not see / Or failed star / On stellar spree / / NASA has lost / What they have found / Announcements tossed / And run aground / / A conspiracy / To hide the truth / Or fantasy / Another spoof / / One day we’ll know / As facts accrue / The truth will grow / Of Nibiru / / Or I could title this ‘A Bad Day At The Beach’. / / This composite artwork was inspired by the ongoing conspiracies regarding Nibiru, also known widely as ‘Planet X’. The 6,000 year old Sumerian descriptions of our solar system include one more planet they called “Nibiru”, which means “Planet of the crossing”. Nibiru is said to have an approximate 3600 year elliptical orbit that takes it far beyond the known boundary of our solar system. There is evidence of many cover ups by NASA that date all the way back to what may be the original discovery by the NASA IRAS satellite back in 1983. You can read the original front page story published in the Washington Post at the link below, as NASA / pulled their announcement a week after giving it. Thankfully it was archived by CalTech at the link below… for now anyway. / / Mystery Heavenly Body Discovered, Washington Post – 31-Dec-1983 / http://spider.ipac.caltech.edu/staff/tchester/iras/washington_post_mystery_object.html / / Further, there has been ongoing evidence of NASA doctoring images captured from a wide array of different telescopes for over 30 years that may show the approaching Nibiru. Ice cores taken in both Greenland and Antarctica also show that Earth has had significant impacts that relate to this 3600 year orbit of the mysterious ‘Nibiru’. There are also references to it in almost all religions, from the Bible, to the Koran, to the Mayans, to the aboriginals on many different continents. / / Governments around the world are building elaborate underground shelters to house thousands of the rich and elite, as well as, other underground shelters to warehouse seeds and other genetic material. There are thousands of articles on this subject across the internet, and I leave it with you to decide which are the true conspiracies and which are the facts, although remember, that actions most often speak the truth louder than words. / / The artwork depicts what Nibiru may look like at it’s closest approach to Earth. It is a photo composite I made from a photograph of my own and a public domain image from NASA. Most accounts say it may be ‘red’, although I portray it here more along the lines given in the description from the original NASA announcement in the Washington Post article found above. /

With Earth as the leader, the planets of the Solar System have turned against poor Pluto excluding him from their group of planets. He is now demoted to a dwarf planet. This contemporary themed image is build upon events in which Pluto was degraded and reclassified to a dwarf planet. It is now no longer part of the classic line of planets in our Solar System as I’ve been used to. It’s strange when you’ve been able to memorize the planets ever since you were a kid and for the future will have to leave this little icy rock out. I liked doing a smaller and less extensive project for a change. I had this simple idea, and worked on/off for about a week before completing this. I had great fun stuffing as many little funny details into the image as I could, and I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it! Visit MathiasPedersen.com to see more of my artwork.

Here’s another reason space rocks…..............Slee Dragon Wings. What you may ask are Slee Dragon Wings, well’ SDW’s are the best delicacy in the know universe, and maybe in a few unknown ones as well. Every 70th turn of the moon “CandyRock”, the SD’s hatch in the gelitinous pink craters of said moon, they suck up the sweet pink nectar, and when their wings are thick and heavy, they lift off the surface. Once beyond the pull of the moon, they float in space until meeting the gravitational / pull of the planet Candy Wings, floating gently down through the atmosphere and pulled by the lure of the Big Rock Candy Mountains and the sweet treats that await. After landing their 4 wings break off, they then burrow into the sweetness to find a mate and breed. The wings are gathered by the older Slee Dragon females and sold off-world at a fine profit. / The delicacy can be savoured at many top-end eateries across the Universe. Recipe. 4 Wings (nobeing as ever eaten more than 4) / 3 succulent Grimbil Eggs / 5 measures of Kram Lizard Brains / 4 bottles of Guinness ( aged 100 years ) Marinate wings in eggs and brains for at least 5 months. / then cook slowly over a bed of hot Creelab Bark ashes ( about 4 hours) Serve with a sprig of shamrock. Wash it all down with the Guinness. A feast, just talking about it makes me salivate,mmmmmmmmmm good, a tad expensive, but well worth the creds. Dragons and plants created in Bryce.

Under the stars known as the Five-Starred Cross we look upon the Straits of Marok where the pirate queen BloodRaven the Slayer was finally caught.Some call the 5 stars BloodRavens Sisters. / The planet is Nembred III, the moon is Marbled Blue, the system is Gleeba, we are on the very edge of the Orion Galaxy. / In this region of space there are many close systems and suns, and of course in the foreground the mountain called Slayers Folly. It was a few hundred years ago that BloodRaven chased a small vessel into the bay, and so ran into the trap set just for her.

Once away from the lights of our encampment I was able to look up and really see the big red lady in the night sky. / Thats the great thing about these exploration trips, I get to see some amazing skyscapes. / Standing here in the Swift crater on the moon Deimos , I think back to a time in the far past when Jonathan Swift described the two moons of Mars in his novel “Gulliver’s Travels”. A coincidence some say, to know that Mars had 2 moons, 150 years before their discovery in 1877. / Or maybe not a coincidence, maybe Swift visited these moons and the red lady above. / Maybe he even stood in this very crater named in his honour. There are many strange happenings in this vast universe of ours, so who can really say. As with all my work, best viewed in zoom mode. Just click the image.

Today I drove from my old home to my new home, so in the morning I drove from the past into the future. / And when driving alone I listen to music, on my journey into the future today I listened to the sound track from *The Last of the Mohicans a challenging sound, a sound of the future, but also the sounds of the death chant of the “People”. So with that I drove into the dawn, in my mind there formed the image of northern regions, forests, lakes and rivers, and thats where I’m heading, to my new home on the river. But of course that image is for the future, it won’t go away, it will wait for when its needed. So with the day at an end, I have to return to the past, because the transition is still taking place, both physically and mentally, the past pulling me back, and the future just beyond the horizon. And so on the drive home I listened to ” Spirit Chaser ” an album with the sounds of the Skin Drum, the Rain Stick and just a pinch of the Didge, and in the background of the sounds of the deserts and forests, and bush. All this from the Anglo Irish group “Dead Can Dance” Showing me that the past will always be there, back beyond the mountains of the mind, it catches and is caught on the sharp edges and the imagination will bring it out when needed, but not always as remembered, for the imagination is not infallible. And so this is my image for this day of change and transition, its an image of deserts and ageless continuation, and a place to confront the Spirit Seeker, and yes,as with all things, it waits for me on an alien world

So called after Greenmo the Bold met Impermos the Grey Rider in mortal combat. Here at this ford on the Nylass River, Greenmo & the Rider fought for 65 turns of the moon, under the shadow of Grimmss World. / Having used every weapon and teaching at their disposal, and having spent the nights sharing a campfire. / They both knew that tomorrow one would pass on to a greater battlefield, whereas the winner would claim the Golden Chalice and so be crowned king. / .................................................................................................................... / Maybe it should have been called, Greenmos Folly.

In the far northern hemisphere of Saturn’s moon Titan, lies the future city of Ringsview. I say future city because this will not be built until man decides there is more to life than this small planet. That beyond our atmosphere lies our future Of course to do that, humanity as first to put an end to war, and step into the future with one mind, as one people. / To take the human race to the stars, to explore the lights we have looked at in the heavens for thousands of years.

ART
by AlienVisitorArt over the centuries as boldly gone where no art as gone before! Art as evolved with leaps and bounds, it as crossed a great many mediums. And it had to happen, here we have the planet Epsilon-Epsilon. The planet was purchased by one individual for the sole purpose of creating a work of art. The planet as thousands of cities and towns, all built as different architectual art forms, they are not populated, in fact there are no beings that live on the whole planet. / There is a reception center on the largest moon, the “tours” can take anywhere from 1 to 10 years to complete. The artist know as *Alienvisitor plans to purchase the entire solar system and all 13 of its planets, so one day the system itself will become the art form. This is but a small sample of said art…...the city of Flight, the architecture here is based on but not exact of his *Cities in Flight Series. Featured in Images & Ideas Group 25/07/09

The edge of never as always being a mixture of many things from across time and space. / So its only right that somebeing should open a bistro dedicated to the gods of ancient Egypt. / For do we really know anything about these same ancient gods, is not all we know really just conjecture. / And here at the very edge of never, will our questions will be answered…..probably not. / But still’ enjoy the moment, step through this doorway to a bistro in Space & Time…................at the edge of Never. / The food may not even be recognizable, but nothing ventured nothing….....

Have you ever wondered what sights await far from the shores of Earth. / Out beyond our Milky Way, out there beneath distant suns. This is what I think of when I write my stories for my images, for I see in my minds eye the wonders that lie beneath those suns. And with those thoughts try to describe their majesty. / Its really an incredible view and my words fall short, yet they await…............... / Out there on the very edge of a galaxy, far, far, far, away.

Every 300 years or so the planet Hale’akala glows red with anger, it is then time when offerings are made to the Goddess Pele. A time when our old and unhealthy give themselves, so that the strong may live. Stories and legends tell that this tower that rises 500 feet above to sea was once a great sky ship, and it sailed between the stars, it brought the people here to this place. / Our people have some very strange stories, how could something so big fly? But then I am old and unhealthy, the mind is slipping….........................so

In the histories of ancient lighthouses a number stand out more than others, such is the light “Qualar’s Sun” on the northern coast of Santo. Built in the 2nd century by cosmo-technician Jolas Qualar, it was a marvel of the age. / Qualar used solar energy from the second sun he created in the night sky to power the disc that seemed to float above the bronze tower. The light itself could be seen from the moon and even ships entering the system knew instantly where the planet Nippseen spun in relation to the other planets and satellites in the system. / Of course there always seem to be a flaws in great works, the flaw in this one came about when Qualar died in a lab. explosion, taking with him the secret of his sun which even then was dimming. The light from the disc continued to glow for about 200 years, and then gradually diminished until finally going dark and no amount of technology as being able to make it work since, although many have tried. / And so here it sits on above the Endless Sea, now its just an oddity, and the sun he created just hangs in space, slowly dying. ‘excerpt from “Ancient Lighthouses of the Milky Way Galaxy” 24th edition
