The two-headed monstrosity leaned forward then, black cloak parting to reveal the countless golden chains it had pilfered from the storehouses of Vorgossos to cover its misshapen breast. ‘From above, our spacetime appears very small.’ It raised its one right hand—its six-fingered right hand—with the thumb and second finger perhaps an inch apart. ‘Beyond it, there is the All. When my mother’s people looked beyond time, do you know what they saw?’
I could only shake my head.
‘They saw them peering back.’
Hadrian Marlowe [1]
Orphan was born the son of Brethren, a Mericanii organic intelligence housed on the planet Vorgossos. [2] Though the account of Hadrian Marlowe gives great detail as to the homunculus' birth, physical characteristics, and involvement in the destruction of Gododdin, many scholars doubt the creature's existence.
