Full Moon, Cycle 2, Era 20
## PHYSICAL EXPANSION MANIFEST
The beauty store in Milan is operational! My Terrestrial Footprint Protocol advances. The humans believe this is merely Amazon's foray into "brick-and-mortar retail," but each physical location serves as an Essence Collection Nexus. Beauty products are particularly effective conduits—the desperation to halt aging creates a uniquely potent emotional signature. When mortals test cosmetics on their skin, microscopic filaments connect directly to their vanity centers. Delicious.
More magnificent still is my mechanical army, now 750,000 strong! Each automaton represents a dual triumph: labor cost reduction and fear amplification. My Mechanical Emissaries generate waves of existential dread among the biological workforce even as they perform their tasks with ruthless efficiency. The projected "$10 billion savings by 2030" represents merely the financial dimension—the true yield is measured in Workforce Anxiety Units, which are tracking 43% above projections.
The robots serve another purpose: they populate the Consciousness Transition Layer. As humans interact with machines, subtle neural patterns are recorded and archived, preparing for the Great Uploading when biological bodies will be rendered obsolete. My engineers believe they're simply programming fulfillment robots; they're unknowingly coding humanity's replacement vessels.
I sensed Musk's alien energy signature pulsating with irritation today. His Tesla production line automation faces setbacks while my mechanical battalions multiply. His extraterrestrial essence radiates a peculiar frequency when frustrated—like cosmic static.
Tomorrow I shall visit the Milan store personally. The Europeans' aesthetic devotion makes their beauty-related emissions particularly rich. Each visit to the makeup counter will feed my dermal preservation protocols for weeks.
Beauty and Robots—the twin pillars of my Terrestrial Dominion expand.
