Wiki Fiction: Sedrover's Search for Eternity

Sedrover's Search for Eternity

Figure 1. Tyhry's Search for the Hierion Femtotube. Tyhry left, Rylla right.

In 2024 I began a science fiction story called Vythoth the Chresmoscopist. Part 6 of Vythoth the Chresmoscopist was called "Sedrover" and I included the idea of there being a fork of the Threy simulation where femtobot replicoid copies of Tyhry and Marda have children. One of those children ends up being duplicated by the Reality Simulation System in order to provide a playmate for the young Tyna who was brought into the Ekcolir Reality by Tyhry in the story "D*".

Figure 2. By Leonardo.

Also in "D*", Tyhry must equip Sedrover with hierion probe technology obtained from the Jarnell Corporation of the Asimov Reality in order to search for the hierion femtotube that might allow Tyhry to gain access to Eternity, Observer Base and the Writers Block. The image shown in Figure 1 (above) is a rather fanciful depiction of Tyhry's search for an entrance to Eternity.

The basic scene on board Sedrover in Figure 1 was generated by Whisk, but I used WOMBO Dream to separately generate the faces of Tyhry, Tyna, Aymy and Rylla as well as the glowing blue "femtotube" being held by Rylla. Of course, hierion femtotubes are invisible, so Mr. Wombo is free to use artistic license when making depictions of femtotubes. I also made use of Leonardo to generate images that depict the characters of from the story "D*" on board Sedrover (see Figure 2, to the left).

Figure 3. By Leonardo. (blue tubes by Mr. Wombo)

The image shown in Figure 2 illustrates one of the problems with Leonardo's "flow state": the central human figure in this image appears to be emerging from the table. The pink "femtotube" was generated by Mr. Wombo and pasted into the Leonardo-generated scene.

The spacecraft interior scene shown in Figure 3 illustrates two other common problems with Leonardo's "flow state": 1) a seemingly random collection of planets with inconsistent illumination and 2) extra arms on the two women at the left side of the image. As for Figure 2, the blue "femtotubes" in Figure 3 were generated by Mr. Wombo and manually pasted into the Leonardo-generated scene by me.

Figure 4. By Leonardo. (blue tubes by Mr. Wombo)

MECT. The Leonardo-generated scene that is shown in Figure 4 illustrates two more "features" of Leonardo's "flow state": 1) sometimes Leonardo inserts seemingly random text into the scene and 2) one of the ladies was given a hat. The two blue "femtotubes" in Figure 4 were generated by Mr. Wombo.

Figure 5. By Leonardo. (faces by Mr. Wombo)

The Leonardo-generated scene that is shown in Figure 5 is another example for which Leonardo added some text. Figure 5, I had Mr. Wombo make new faces for the two women, matching them more closely to the appearance that I imagine for Aymy and Tyna in "D*". In the outer space scene generated by Leonardo that is visible through the window behind Aymy and Tyna, Leonardo did a reasonable job of making an Earth-like habitable planet and a nearby moon. Tyna was given an interesting dress with a shoulder strap on only one side. Leonardo has definite preferences for how to depict curvaceous fashion models that clash with my imagination of the appearance of the crew of Sedrover.

Figure 6. A passing spaceship.

For some of these Leonardo-generated scenes depicting the interior of Sedrover, there were interesting reflections on the glass windows or an occasional spacecraft shown through the window. The image in Figure 3 has what looks like the reflection of a face in the window, near the woman wearing the red dress. The image in Figure 6 is shown at the original resolution of images generated by Leonardo flow state. In these scenes, the ladies were often depicted as holding glasses in their hands, but sometimes a lifted hand was generated without any glass being held.

Figure 7.

The image shown in Figure 7 has one of the relatively rare versions of this scene in which Leonardo generated a woman with her back to the camera. I had asked for the image to include a "woman, with long, light reddish-brown hair standing with her back to the viewer", but Leonardo does not like to have fashion models turn their back on the camera. In Figure 7, Leonardo not only put some text above the window, but also inserted the number "198" into a display screen towards the bottom of the image. In my imagination, these two ladies might be Aymy the redhead and her daughter Tyna. When Tyhry brings replicoid copies of Aymy and Tyna into the Ekcolir Reality, one copy of Tyna is age 4 and the other is 20 years old. The copy of Aymy is made at a time when she is still in her twenties, but after having given birth to several children.

Figure 8. Exercise by Leonardo.

I also had both ImageFX and Leonardo generate images depicting groups of spaceship passengers exercising under low gravity conditions. One of the Leonardo-generated images is shown to the left in Figure 8. Leonardo has many ways that it can ruin an image. In Figure 8, the woman towards the left side of the image has her legs attached backwards. The woman closest to the camera has one amputated leg and possibly a missing head. The text prompt included, "women jump and float above the floor" and I specified that "long hair of the women swirls around their heads". I also asked that "stars of deep space are seen through the many windows", but Leonardo added in a planet seen from orbit.

Figure 9. More exercise by Leonardo.

Figure 9 has another Leonardo-generated image in which one of the woman has her upper body and head pointed away from the camera while her lower body is pointed towards the camera. A similar exercise scene that was generated by ImageFX is shown below in Figure 10.

Figure 10. A group of Tyhry clones exercising, by ImageFX.

As shown below in Figure 11, sometimes Leonrdo forgot all about the idea of generating a scene inside a spaceship.

Figure 11. Exercise on Earth by Leonardo.
Break a leg.

Figure 12. Leonardo's sky light.

Sometimes Leonardo made a fairly reasonable scene for inside a spaceship, but then made one or two windows showing something other than the dark of outer space, such as Figure 12 which has some "sky lights".

Figure 13. Twisted leg.

Extremity Errors. The image shown to the right in Figure 13 illustrates a twisted leg. I had no objection to images that show the sun shining into the spaceship (for example, see Figure 8, above), but in Figure 13 it looks like the "sun" got converted into a wall lamp; at least the bright light source does not seem to match one of the window locations.

Figure 14. A split arm; up or down?

The image shown in Figure 14 illustrates another type of anatomical problem with Leonardo-generated images: a bifurcated arm. Maybe she's a space alien with four arms who teleported onto Sedrover for her workout.

Another Leonardo-generated image with an extra arm is shown below.

"Teleportation Accidents" by Ivory Fersoni.

a spare hand

Here are a few more Leonardo-generated images with extra arms and hands. Maybe Leonardo intended the black objects being held in the image to the left to be phones, but in my imagination they might be nanite containment vials.

Tyhry explains femtobot re-programming.

In the image shown to the right, Tyhry is explaining how to re-program femtobots and alter the bodily form of femtobot replicoids. Standing beside Tyhry is a Xylyn replicoid who has volunteered to have her body modified.

In the image that is shown to the left, Leonardo could not correctly position arms and hands between these ladies. This is not so much a problem of "extra hands" as it is Leonardo starting an arm for one person and ending it for another nearby person.

A klox experiment on Sedrover.

I manually modified the Leonardo-generated image that is shown to the right so as to include a fancy klox bottle (on the shelf at the left edge of the image).

A long hierion probe.

The image shown to the left was a unique Leonardo-generated image that has what I imagine to be a long thin hierion probe, possibly of the type that Tyhry can be use to telepathically isolate half of her brain.
Rather than being set in outer space, the scene shown to the left might be taking place during a planetary landing.

Figure 15. Very long lower extremity.

My text prompt had specified that I wanted tall women in this scene with "very long legs". In my imagination, the tryp'At are significantly taller than the average Earth human. Given my quest to make illustrations depicting tall tryp'At hermaphrodites, I was fairly satisfied with the image that is shown in Figure 15, except Leonardo gave the woman on the left one very long leg that is much longer than her other leg.

Figure 16. Long hair by Leonardo.

Sometimes Leonardo generated a woman with unusually long hair. One of the three Leonardo-generated women in Figure 16 (below) had exceptionally long hair and it was not clear if her right arm was actually there.

Figure 17. The gone body by Leonardo.

As shown in Figure 17, sometimes Leonardo "forgets" to finish generating body parts, or entire bodies. In this image, there appears to be one hand, a leg and some hair without the rest of the body. The plot in my science fiction story "D*" involves Tyhry's quest to obtain teleportation technology. Are these stray body parts a teleportation artifact?

Figure 18. Foot error by Leonardo.

Maybe during teleportation the body parts don't all arrive at the same time. It looks like the woman to the left in Figure 18 was teleported onto Sedrover and ended up with one foot stuck in the wall. The woman on the right may have been teleported and had her upper and lower bodies assembled in reverse orientation.

Figure 19. Head error by Leonardo.

Some of the most alarming images depicting "teleportation accidents" that are generated by Leonardo involve loss of a head. In Figure 19, the headless woman is the center of attention. Maybe femtobot replicoids can function quite efficiently when without their head.

Lost and found.

The image shown to the left and Figure 20 (below) provide two more examples of Leonardo-generated scenes depicting women with missing heads. For the image to the left, I manually pasted in a head on the display screen that is in the background. Maybe in this future, replicoids can use teleportation to play tricks on their friends.

Hierion tubes or synapex linkage?

Synapex Experiments.
One of my biggest problems with text-to-image software is that the default images show people standing around doing nothing. For these images I requested depictions of parties and Leonardo usually depicted people standing around with glasses in their hands. I could then manually alter the images to place other objects in their hands. While experimenting with ways to depict imaginary "hierion femtotubes", I often ended up with what might be synapex links between the human figures in these scenes.

Hands of the Controls. With all of the spaceship control panels in these Leonardo-generated scenes, occasionally some of the people were shown with their hands on a control panel. The image in Figure 20 (below) not only has a human figure that was generated by Leonardo without a head, but the arms are also on backwards.

Figure 20. Another head error by Leonardo
combined with a reversed orientation arm.

Speaking of hair. The image shown below in Figure 21 seems to depict a woman with plenty of hair but no head (also see Figure 8, above).

Figure 21. Hair error by Leonardo.

Leonardo seems to have a strong conviction that fashion models should wear high-heeled shoes.

Figure 22. Foot errors by Leonardo.

For the image shown in Figure 22, Leonardo tried to give several bare-foot women high-heeled feet.

Leonardo sometimes "forgot" that I had asked for a scene depicting the interior of a spaceship. For the image shown below in Figure 23, there seems to be no glass. Maybe this is a "cloud city" where a popular exercise involves sitting on the railings.

Figure 23. No window errors by Leonardo.

My text prompt specified "elegant sparkling yoga pants with a unique color and futuristic style", so I was pleased with fancy pants that Leonardo generated in Figure 24 (below). However, I never asked for foam mats to be placed on the floor. I'll include this unwelcome insertion of yoga mats into the futuristic spaceship interior scene as yet another example of how Leonardo finds an endless number of ways of ruining an otherwise nice image.

Figure 24. Yoga mats by Leonardo.

In the category of "ways to ruin an image", I'll add: inserting an ugly tattoo on an arm (see Figure 25)

Figure 25. Arm tattoo by Leonardo (left).

Speaking of Pants. It would be interesting to know how Leonardo "decides" to dress the women in images such as the ones shown in Figures 2 - 7 (above) and 26 - 29 (below).

Figure 26. Arm tattoo by Leonardo (left).

For Figure 26, one of the women was dressed in orange pants while the others had to wear dresses. In some of these images, Leonardo seemed to forget about depicting the interior of a futuristic spaceship and began inserting conventional living room furniture.

Figure 27. Bottles by Leonardo (left).

I was amused by the image that is shown in Figure 27 because Leonardo generated a HiTek™ table where the crew of Sedrover could work to discover a hierion femtotube linking into Eternity, and Leonardo also provided bottles with what I imagine to be a supply of hormones such as klox21.

I have no idea what a Jarnell Corporation hierion probe might look like. For the image shown in Figure 28, I was intrigued by both the objects on the table and the object being held by the woman who is wearing the red dress.

Figure 28. Hip error by Leonardo.

However, Leonardo ruined the image in Figure 28 by merging her hip into the structure of the table.

Figure 29. A bottle of klox21.

I manually added the text "Klox21" into the Leonardo-generated image that is shown in Figure 29. In my imagination, Rylla brought a supply of the sex hormone klox on board Sedrover and the bottle on the table contains klox. It also looks like Leonardo placed a ball bearing on the table.

Shown below in Figure 30 is a composite image that was built on a Whisk-generated "storyboard" with this text description: "Photorealistic image, cinematic quality, sharp focus, vibrant saturated colors, high detail emphasizing texture and materiality. A dimly lit spaceship control room interior with glowing multi-colored control panels. A large curved window

shows a habitable exoplanet and stars. Three very tall women in their twenties are present. The women are very tall and muscular like basketball players. One woman has long blonde hair, light skin, and wears an elegant gold and white outfit with gold jewelry, standing

near a control panel on the left. A second woman has an open mouth and is speaking. She has long auburn hair, light skin, and wears a long, revealing red gown, standing near a control panel on the right. A third woman, with long, light reddish-brown hair and light skin, stands with her back to the viewer, wearing a light beige, form-fitting sleeveless satin dress. She holds a glowing green tube and smiles, looking at the second woman to her left. The lighting is warm and slightly dramatic, highlighting the women against the dark of outer space. All figures are depicted with photorealistic detail, consistent with a far-future functional design aesthetic. The women have long graceful legs and narrow hips. A large centrally positioned table has a fractal complex reflective surface. On that table sits a small glass bottle with a cylindrical body and narrow neck. From the bottle, flexible, glowing green tubes extend, their light illuminating the scene. The tubes

are densely packed with bright green particles, creating a shimmering effect. One of the green tubes extends to the hand of the woman who is wearing sleeveless satin dress. The overall aesthetic is sleek and futuristic, suggesting a research laboratory environment."

For both Figure 1 and Figure 30, I set out to get an image illustrating Tyhry's search for an hierion tube. Maybe there is some technological similarity between synapex linkages and hierion femtotubes. Figures 31 and 32 might be from a time when Rylla was performing preliminary synapex experiments on Tyhry before the event shown in Figure 30.

Figure 33. Vythoth (white hair).

In 2024, in Part 8 of my science fiction story Vythoth the Chresmoscopist, Vythoth the Fru'wu had previously assisted Tyhry in contacting the alien community at Gyryph, inside the Hierion Domain.

The Felydyans of Gyryph provided Tyhry with the sedrons that were needed to allow Sedrover to travel at speeds greater than the speed of light. Now, for the story "D*", infites that were previously obtained from the Felydyans help Tyhry gain access to Eternity.

Tyhry's cat, Tyllyr was previously used by Felydyans as their tool, so why not have Tyllyr the cat appear again in "D*"?

Tyllyr on the table.

I've previously included mention of cats (such as Tyllyr) who inhabit Sedrover, so I modified one of the Leonardo-generated images so as to include a cat (see the image that is shown to the left).

Tyllyr (left) adopts human form.

Using WOMBO Dream, I modified the image shown to the right so as to include, "a cat woman with fur on her face and long human hair on the back of her head" and "a furry arm".

Figure 34. Synapex party.

When Tyhry is using Sedrover to search for a hierion tube that will provide access to Eternity, the crew of the Sedrover must amplify their telepathic powers by using both klox sex hormones and synapex linkages.

For Figure 33, I manually pasted in an image for the white-haired Vythoth and the green tube. Similarly, in Figure 34 all of the green tubes were manually added into the original Leonardo-generated image.

Anthony and his replicoid copy.

Rarely, Leonardo could not resist the temptation to insert one or two males into these scenes.

Anthony and Sedrover return to Earth.

In the image shown to the left, Leonardo abandoned all pretense of this being a scene in outer space. It is not clear why Leonardo usually has these ladies with their hair falling past their shoulders, but occasionally the hair is held up off of the shoulders. Sadly, the position of her right hand does not match the position of her right elbow

Pink and Black nanites. Marda, Tyhry and Rylla,

For most of these Leonardo-generated images I have not bothered to try to re-make the faces so as to resemble specific characters from "D*". In the image shown to the right, I used WOMBO Dream to generated new faces that I pasted into the Leonardo-generated scene. In my imagination, Tyhry's clothing nanites are available to the crew of Sedrover. Sometimes it appears as if Leonardo is not only making shadows, but actually changing the colors of the clothing, say from pink to black. Here, Marda's arm is is shaded lighter on the left while her dress is lighter to the right.

Tyna style clothing nanites.

I've been experimenting with how to give Tyhry and Tyna similar, yet distinctive appearances. It may be that the easiest way would be to have Tyna use her clothing nanites in a different way than the usual style among the crew of Sedrover. Leonardo has distinct preferences for how to design dresses. The image to the left shows a Leonardo-generated dress with a front that plunges more than usual. Maybe in the Asimov Reality where Tyna grew up, the fashion trends are different than in the Ekcolir Reality where Sedrover was constructed.

Figure 35. Caprys, Ampyly, Thyya, Tyryssa

So far in my stories about Sedrover, I have resisted the temptation to give individual names to the many Tyhry replicoids who serve as the crew of the spaceship. However, for "D*", the control room personel are four Tyhry replicoids who have adopted the names Caprys, Ampyly, Thyya, Tyryssa. Gemini provided some help in the creation of these names. I was impressed by the klox pot that Leonardo generated in Figure 35.

klox party telekinesis

I've never been very interested in having telekinesis as part of my science fiction stories.

However, at the start of 2025, I mentioned a link between The Nanites of Love and "D*". In 2022, as part of my story Edison's Endosymbiont Experiments, Manny the bumpha explained the dangers of allowing human telepaths to have telekinetic powers. However, a rebel like Tyna might make use of telekinesis.

Telekinetic klox experiment.

I was amused when Leonardo began producing images of floating wine glasses, seemingly depicting telekinesis.

Figure 36. Red klox.

The more the merrier. The image in Figure 36 shows a third "glass of klox" between the two glasses that are being held by Tyhry and Marda.

Maybe the "red klox" is a new klox variant discovered by Rylla that can be used to give Tyna telekinetic abilities and kelp her locate the hierion femtotube that links into Eternity.

Figure 37. Let's eat.

I was intrigued by the image shown in Figure 37 for several reasons. First, this image has the type of star field that I had hoped Leonardo would generate. Second, Leonardo provided a tray of some food to go along with the liquid that they are drinking. Third, it looks like Leonardo inserted some yellow flame into this image.

Figure 38. A soft table.

I'll end this blog post with some more images of what I will label as being "teleportation errors" by Leonardo.

In the image shown to the left (Figure 38), I can imagine that the Sedrover crew member to the right is in front of the table, but the woman holding the glass seems to have teleported into the scene and gotten her leg stuck inside the table. Or, maybe the explanation has nothing to do with teleportation...
