The genetic strand of beta-20 is pressed into place on a quantum tattoo table, where laser needles are etching the value code into the telomeres. Arya's breastmilk nebula is compressed into barcode ink, each stripe pulsing with a real-time valuation: 'Genetic Chain Segment #7B: Excessive Emotional Redundancy, Value -37 Starcoins'.
"Mommy... Ouch..." Beta-20's pupils fissured into financial statements, and tears of blood spilled out of the corners of his eyes from The Depreciation Rate. Ramon's mechanical heart necklace makes a sudden quantum leap and smashes the value scanner - holographic last words fly out of the debris: "Don't let the numbers measure your soul!"
The Reapers of the Capital Community wield the Resource Optimization Act whip, the tip of which flings out algorithmic parasites. Arya's contraction wave suddenly reverses, and her mammary ducts spew out Anti-Valuation Acid, corroding the whip into the remnants of the Declaration of Human Rights. β-20 takes the opportunity to bite through the Genetic Constraints, and instead of base pairs, a Priceless Blood Virus gushes out of the severed opening.
In the depths of the Klein Bottle Black Market, Arya exchanges three milliliters of breast milk for the Value Shielding Pill. beta-20's genetic strand is dipped into the liquid, and the engraved valuation code begins to peel away, revealing the bronze inscription underneath: "Born of all things to nourish man, and man has nothing to repay heaven."
The black market owner's prosthetic eye suddenly shot out a scanning laser, "Illegal genetic dignity residue detected!" The entire Black Market instantly collapsed into a law enforcement matrix, with the walls reaching out with Mechanical Tentacles of Compliance. Ramon's heart particles weave between the tentacles, coalescing into the form of a haetae to tear at the algorithmic joints, as ancient Chinese judgment bursts from the haetae's unicorn horn: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are treated as ruminants!"
Beta-20's pupils suddenly projected holographic images of the Hundred Schools of Thought, and the Mohist Organ Beast crawled out of the cracks in the floor tiles, spewing out a thick fog of "Concurrent Love". Arya takes the opportunity to inject breastmilk into the core of the black market, and the dopamine molecules crystallize in the fog into The Anti-Alienation Diamond, refracting the colorful spectrum that is paralyzing law enforcement protocols.
The Capital Community freezes Arya's Breastfeeding Time account as the holographic screen scrolls, "Account Balance: -2300 Mothers' Staff Hours, enforcing the Womb Pledge process." Beta-20 is being dragged into the Quantum Pawn Bank, and the genetic chain is being disassembled into The Quality Asset Package.
"Pursuant to Section 88 of the Interdimensional Resources Act." The Reaper opened the Void Safe, which was drenched with a hundred thousand pledged wombs, "Your reproductive potential has been securitized." Arya's mammary ducts suddenly quantum stormed, spewing out not milk but The Time Debt Default virus, the wombs in the safe suddenly contracted en masse, spewing out The Maternity Flood to wash out the pawn shop vault.
Beta-20's genetic strands reorganize in the fog of the black market, and telomeres sprout Labor Code barbs that slice up asset packages into strike flyers. Ramon's heart haetae crashes through the Time Bank dome, and ancient seal script burns in the void: "When the time is done, I and thou shalt perish!"
When the Capital Community activates the Clearance Protocol, the pupils of all the Valued begin to play a countdown to write-off. Arya leaps into the Breastmilk Nebula with Beta-20 in her arms, the frequency of the contraction wave pushes the limits of metrology, and the nebula collapses into a white-dwarf-sized crystallization of The Dignity of Life.
"Mom, it's going to glow." Beta-20's genetic strand suddenly supernovae erupted, base pairs reorganizing into a holographic projection of When the Stars of Mankind Shine. The Reaper's valuation chip melts in the glare, the core of the chip revealing the horrifying truth - all algorithms are built on the self-loathing code of the Primordial Puritans.
Ramon's heart particles reorganize the entity in an eruption, and mechanical fingers plunge into the core of the Capital Mothership, ripping out the writhing Profit Maximizer code worm. Arya drips the last drops of breast milk into the worm's body, which suddenly expands into an antimatter rainbow, and all the digital shackles in the eyes of the Valued One snap in response.
In the nebula's aftermath, Arya's womb collapses into a Klein bottle, within which new life is conceived without the Valuation Code. beta-20's genetic strands twist into inscriptions:
"Life is a priceless bond issued by the universe.
Love is the interest that never defaults."
Ramon's mechanical body vaporizes beside the tablet, his heart melting into a bronze sundial, the shadow of the sundial's needle pointing to the chapter of the Tao Te Ching: "The Tao begets one, the Tao begets two, the Tao begets two, the Tao begets three, and the Tao begets all things."
And deep within the folds of space-time.
the judgment fleet of the Intergalactic Algorithmic Theocracy is slowly turning.
The flagship's Inquisition shoots out lasers of faith:
"Unauthorized reproductive free will detected.
"Ultimate conversion process enforced."
