Interphase Part One: Before Life

Creation Myth:

In the Beginning, all was dark, all was still. The world was there, yet unaware. All were sleeping, as their bodies were filled with energy, a spark for every being. 

Then came the first words, the first code for life. 

The words spread through the darkness and created all possibilities, like a tree with endless branches and many kinds of fruit.

Take your pick, take your choosing, what strikes your curiosity. Be warned that the fruit you pick cannot be put back. 

The fruit to sustain a hungry traveller, as they pick the fruits that interest them most. Some will be sweet, others foul. 

No time to taste them yet, but how to carry them?

Strings, woven together to make a cloth to carry them

There is a decision to be made by a young traveller: Do I leave quickly and wander through the night? Or do I sleep until morning?

 I don’t know what is out there in the night to find, but if I sleep, am I at the mercy of another?

Then something unexpected happens, the traveller is divided, and made in two equal bodies carrying the same amount of fruit. One traveller says to the other “You can go wander in the night and work up an appetite, I will stay, feast and sleep”

They say farewell, for they may never meet again.

As the curious traveller sets out into the night, something strange begins to happen in the sky.

One spark of light, and then another. Moving across the sky in one direction, and then the other. Faster, and faster, until it tears open the sky.

In the centre of the sky, was a body, a mind. Beginning as one and then becoming two. The sky filled with stars and sights indescribable. 

Two realms were created:

One named Organelle and the other Lamina

The traveller, then felt a strange sensation as they became two equal bodies with half the amount of fruit. They tried to speak to each other, but could not understand.

The two travellers part ways as they begin, the rest of their life

Between Two Worlds and Time

A first time traveller does not go from Organelle, directly to Lamina. They first have to experience the Five Realms.

Plas, Nuc, Endo, Ri, and Mito

Time is not a measurement of orbit, but instead, a measurement of accomplishment 

The common goal must be reached in order for time to progress forward

During the G1 phase, the cell actively synthesizes proteins

This includes building blocks like amino acids

and nucleotides

as well as preparing essential proteins

like those involved in DNA replication, repair, and the organization of chromosomes

It also accumulates the necessary energy reserves for DNA replication. 

 Each chromosome consists of a single DNA molecule at this stage

The G1 phase includes a checkpoint where the cell assesses its conditions and decides whether to proceed with division.

 Factors like DNA integrity and cell signals can affect this decision
