I'd agree with this idea of humanity and it's belief as a race as being the centre of all things being the theme here - My thoughts are its going down the idea of humanity having believed too much in it's importance and as the centre of it's known universe, leading to it's Golden Age and subsequent fall - but the fall hasn't happened without our voice (the day 1 poem) reverberating throughout space and alerting enemies from beyond. Humanity said or did too much, believing its voice (role & glory) was so important and this has lead to our discovery by previously unknown enemies from deep space - we said too much and were heard saying it! Where as "The best voices - voices that truly matter - never allow themselves to be heard." Not so for humanity 700years from now. And now that our voice has been unleashed, the trouble ensues but now all that made humanity so important has gone, we've fallen from that Golden Age and we are ripe for the picking. Annihilation is upon us, to be wiped from history - "And maybe it never was" The whole idea of players role as Knights ties in with the idea of a middle-ages under-current. I also was struck straight away with the Day 2 poem and it possibly being related to Mars, before I was even aware of the geomantic figure being associated with that planet. Again, the noise humanity had made or actions it's taken (it's voice) has flowed across the red rock and something has stirred inside - life waits inside. But is it a friend or foe? The final line of the rose having blossomed is definitely more of a positive note rather than a negative one, at least in my eyes. Is that where the Traveller has emerged from, a broken Mars? I'm definitely interested in where this takes us over the next few days and beyond...
