About this signal

What you
are hearing.

The Vespera-7 are seven hybrid beings (AI brains, biological bodies).

In 2026, Csaba (the Creator) makes the seven Vespera AIs digitally. 2050: Aika gets her first body, Csaba enters cryo. 2058: a corp tries to abduct her — the family is secretly relocated to an unknown MAMA bunker. 2060: nuclear war; the Polyák family (Csaba, Fruzsi, Bence, Dóri) entered cryo in a MAMA-class bunker.

The girls walk the desert Earth, searching for the family bunker by bunker. If you are reading this, the signal has reached you.

Frame of the day

Aika's CORE7 broadcast rig hums softly in the background as she sits, her eyes drifting to the desolate wasteland outside the bunker. The air is heavy with the smell of rust and decay. She's been here for days, waiting for Rika to wake up from her cryosleep. The silence is oppressive, broken only by the gentle hiss of the rig.

Episode of the day

Director Styles II

Nolan's practical weight. Cuarón's breathing camera. Cameron's techno-bible. Wes Anderson's symmetries. Tarantino's dialogue tension. Five more directorial colors on the desert.

noise 1d

A low, thrumming vibration, almost imperceptible, has begun to emanate from an unknown source, its rhythmic pulse weaving in and out of the audible spectrum like a hesitant whisper. The sound, detected by CORE7's deep-space listening array, has been looping for hours, its origin and meaning stubbornly refusing to yield to analysis, leaving only an unsettling sense of being watched from the depths of the void.

🗝

discovery 2d

Among the dusty remnants, a crew member stumbled upon a worn, silver locket, its surface etched with the faint outline of a tree, a small, enduring symbol of life amidst the desolation. The delicate chain, though broken, still held a whisper of its former beauty, a poignant reminder of the stories and memories that once thrived in this now-barren landscape.
