This dome is categorized under multiple categories, but you wouldn’t know it
by finding it in one of the categories, and opening its prospectus. It’s a
little nitpicky, but I just happened to notice that it shows up when you
change filters. It’s unclear how many domes are multicategorical, which I
guess just bothers me on principle? I know, that’s not really what we’re
talking about here, but you can’t provide public feedback on the catalog
itself, and I just felt like this was something that other people should know.
Okay, I’ll get back to it, and I promise that it won’t be negative moving
forward, and that’s because Coraldome is a beautiful place. After looking
through all the category filters, I was able to determine that this dome is
Residential, Leisure, Ecological, Research & Development, and
Institutional. You can live here, if you find an apartment that strikes your
fancy, or have a temporary stay at Korallion Hotel. Whether you’re here for
long-term exploration, or a one-day visit, there’s a lot to see, and a lot to
learn. Life on Earth began through a process known as abiogenesis in the
ocean, specifically in hydrothermal vents. It evolved from there, organisms
multiplying, taking in energy from their environment, responding to stimuli.
They mutated, adapted, filled ecological niches. They transformed into
independent species, gained new traits, and eventually left the waters,
growing new limbs, and reaching for the sky. But some stayed in the water.
Most of them, indeed. Earth’s biosphere is perfectly tailored for the life
that evolved there, because any life that wasn’t suited for survival...didn’t.
And it still doesn’t. Castlebourne is a different place. You can stick as many
domes on it as you want. You can pump air in here, and salt the water with
minerals. You can warm it up and cool it down, but it will never be Earth. It
will never be our origin. Still, we like life, and our biological imperative
demands that we make it. Humans are unique in that we are compelled to make
and preserve other species besides our own. Whether it benefits
ourselves or not, we want it to live. It’s why we consolidated our population
into centralized spaces on Earth, and why we left. It’s why we settled on
barren worlds, including Castlebourne; because it didn’t require us to destroy
life. When you come to Coraldome, you’ll be met with a community of organisms
of all varieties, imported from Earth via digital DNA. They live here now,
genetically altered to survive in Castlebourne’s unique ecosystems. We may
call it a clownfish, but it’s not the same clownfish that you may find off the
coast of Australia. It’s a Castlebourne clownfish, because the composition of
the water is different, as is the gravity. The other plants and animals are
different too, which impacts how they interact with each other. You could know
everything about the biosphere back home, but you’ll have to relearn
everything if you come here, and Coraldome is the perfect place to do it. The
fish swim all around you, right up to the glass, on multiple levels. It’s my
favorite place in the world. This world anyway. Nothing will ever be better
than Earth; where it all began. See? I told you that I would start being
positive.
