The quality or condition of having strong reproductive powers; generation with full fertility between different species or races, specifically between hybrids of the first generation. In the years to come, when the Changeover had taken place (or ‘the Turnaround’ or ‘the Descent’, or ‘the Ascent’ or ‘the Reckoning’, or whichever sanitised, Ministry-approved epigram was doing the rounds that week), when the Great Scaledown and the unstoppable rise of the Neogens had led to a new population of Beast Warriors, and when a thirst for answers and a near-hysterical desire to dispel the shadow of Reductionism had forced Maximal scholars to retrace their dark ancestral steps, it would be decided that the Beginning of the End started on 1st December 2012 – and it started with a whimper, not a bang. And here the trees and I know their gnarled surface, water and I feel its taste. These scents of grass and stars at night, certain evenings when the heart relaxes – how shall I negate this world whose power and strength I feel? Yet all the knowledge on earth will give me nothing to assure me that this world is mine. You describe it to me and you teach me to classify it. You enumerate its laws and in my thirst for knowledge I admit that they are true. You take apart its mechanism and my hope increases. At the final stage you teach me that this wondrous and multi-coloured universe can be reduced to an atom and that the atom itself can be reduced to an electron. All this is good and I wait for you to continue. But you tell me of an invisible planetary system in which electrons gravitate around a nucleus. You explain the world to me with an image. I realise then that you have been reduced to poetry: I shall never know.

Suction clamps primed for quick release. Skimming for low turbulence. You two okay down there?’ Kaal pulled the mouthpiece nearer his lips. ‘Ready when you are, Aybe. Be gentle with us.’ ‘Hey, you won’t even know I’ve let you go.’ The aqua-shuttle brushed sea salt into its flame jets as it clipped another wave. Stuffed inside the cockpit was Aybe B’rok, the leader of the Outer Ridge exploration team; he grappled with parallel controls and belly thrusters as he prepared to release the deep sea pod. He peered through the viewscreen’s water- whirls and splatter-patterns, but there was no need to search for a drop-off point: Aquaria’s entire surface was covered in liquid. Looking at the monitor screen he saw his two crewmates, Kaal Sted and Plyn Minsk, squeeze into bulky seats and nod at the vid-cam. He wished he were down there with them, ready for the plunge. Sure, Aquaria had been declared biologically lifeless and structurally unsound for years, but that was the attraction: a lifetime of gorgeous descent, ocean-wrapped and microcosmic, deafened by pressure. Not for the first time, he wished he were younger; after the third lifecycle, the Patriarchs were reluctant to send you on dangerous missions. You were saddled with stick-work and navigation while the deep-sea teams had all the fun. Exploration teams from neighbouring star systems had been combing this sector of space for the best part of four years, assimilating everything from asteroid belts and ice moons to hyper-globes and birth stars. Geomarines and Sci-Squads hopped from rock to rock looking for ‘trace-echoes’ and ‘telltale signs’. They braved contrastorms and nanoclimates, solar flares and collapsing evo-chains – just to be sure. And as they worked their way patiently down the Itinerary, ticking off every planet boasting ‘a mature ecosystem capable of supporting sub-neutered bio-mechanicals or hybridised link species’, many forgot exactly what they were looking for. Besides, deep down, no one wanted to find anything. It was all about security. Even before the time storm in 2009, the Patriarchs were discussing ways to ensure that the plans described in the Canister never came to fruition. And while certain militarised races could undoubtedly protect themselves (Empire worlds, for example, were crossed off the list immediately), the younger and more vulnerable civilisations were prime targets. And so the Canister’s message was translated into a billion dialects and neural codes, looped, and then re-beamed across the galactic sector. Specialised tracking teams worked through its planetary inventory, cataloguing and surveying, confident that the further down the list, the less likely the chance of contact. Protometallic messian spheres like Nithium, Torrene and Yerril were the most desirable targets, and yet every body-drop had ended with a resounding ‘clean’. So after three years checking the Top 200 it was time to sift through the dregs – the ruinous globes that didn’t quite make the grade. Aquaria didn’t even make the Top 200: it was buried in appendix six (‘Contingency’) under weightier and more probable candidates. It wasn’t even metallic, or a half-bred Cyberformed leftover. It was just… there. And so no one could quite work out why transwarp traces had been detected across its orbital belt, or why a cargo ship had been wing-clipped as it had crossed the dark side of its third moon. Aybe steadied the craft as hail started to scab the viewscreen. ‘It’s getting prickly up here. I’ll make the orbital run and retrace for pick-up, okay? See you in forty.’ He released the final set of holding clamps and the deep sea pod slipped from the aquashuttle’s fuselage. Kaal swept his hand across the control console as the pod sank underwater. A belt of multi-layered plexiglass curved around the pod’s waist. A single green bulb driven tight into the domed ceiling glazed every instrument with an emerald sheen. Directional boosters battled against the current and warning lights faded as the pod stabilised. ‘Let’s see what’s down here,’ said Plyn, activating the searchlights. ‘No sign of movement on a local scale. Take a sample, Kaal.’ Kaal fiddled with the miniaturised airlock and unpacked a seawater sample. ‘I know we can withstand the pressure,’ he whispered, ‘but do you ever get the feeling that the ocean is trying to force its way inside?’ ‘The ocean is trying to force its way inside – or are you just trying to be poetic?’ ‘Forget it. You want to hear the tox report?’ ‘What’ve you got?’ ‘The planet’s covered in aqua fortis, a corrosive liquid that breaks down certain metals – anything in the GH3, 7 or 8 tables. Submersion can trigger contact decay or web fractures.’ ‘I take it we’re safe in here?’ ‘I think so. The pod’s made from a GH composite.’ Plyn checked his console. ‘Ten thousand metres, Kaal - deepest we’ve dropped in a long time. It feels like the walls are gonna buckle. Tin-can time, eh?’ ‘Perhaps we should turn back. I mean look at the tox report – you think they’re going to choose this place?’ ‘Who knows? Aquaria’s on the list.’ ‘Yeah, but so is Earth. I think the Patriarchs are reading it all wrong.’ He pawed the viewscreen. ‘Crank up the beams, will you? I can’t see a thing. What’s the seabed like?’ The search beams swelled to maximum glare. ‘Nothing special. A few minor protrusions, but we’re looking at a regular pantrinsic plateau. I suggest we… ah.’ ‘What? What?’ ‘The sonar’s picking up some irregularities... Looks like an abyss, about two thousand metres across. Indeterminate depth. Suggest we—’ ‘No.’ ‘—go further down. Come on, Kaal, we’ll descend as far as the primary fuel blocks allow, right? We’ll drop-drift if we have to.’ Kaal fiddled with his mouthpiece and stared outside. The beams were bruising the lip of the canyon, tripping over cracks and cavities. ‘I really don’t see the point. Let’s buzz Aybe and give him the all clear.

The original idea was to pull together lots of old photographs and postcards and publish a Topcliffe scrapbook. However, it seemed to me to be also an opportunity to have another look at the history of Topcliffe and try to dig a little further into the knowledge than had been written in other histories. This then is the latest in a line of Topcliffe's histories produced by such people as J. B. Jefferson in his history of Thirsk in 1821, Edmund Bogg in his various histories of the Vale of Mowbray and Mary Watson in her Topcliffe Book in the late 1970s.

Rather than being the clash of superpowers that had been prophesied in the late 20th century, the war began small as a series of brush fires in the developing world. Gradually, more and more nations became embroiled in these small disputes until some of the larger nations found themselves on opposite sides of these regional conflicts. A few dramatic acts of terrorism prompted the use of atomic weapons. Once this option was broached the theory of mutually assured destruction was put to the ultimate test. Most people called this "The Last War" but it had many names: the Great Conflagration, Tianhuo, the True Rapture, Ragnarok, the list goes on. There are those that had seen this event coming and made preparations to survive the day after. Governments were broken, armies scattered, cities leveled. For about a month after the war barely a cricket stirred on the surface of the planet. Those who managed to make it to shelter bided their time, watching their Geiger counters and parceling out their rations. Others, not so fortunate, who managed to survive the blast fought tooth and nail to eke out a meager existence from the bones of civilization.

  • 1 Neoliberalism in Disguise: the Transformers Films As Peak Free
    Neoliberalism In Disguise: The Transformers Films as Peak Free Market Globalization in Film In his book Globalization and Its Discontents, famed economist Joseph Stiglitz examines the myriad problems that largely unrestricted capitalist globalization has caused for the world economy, from “[being] run, to too large an extent, by and for large multinational corporations and large financial institutions in the large advanced countries,”1 and “[leading] to lower growth and more instability, with large fractions of the population worse off.”2 The increased liberalization of markets across the globe, which saw its early rise under Ronald Reagan, began largely at the same time as the mass deregulation of Hollywood, and in many ways, the film industry has become remarkably globalized in much of the way Stiglitz described, operating as a cultural extension of neoliberal attitudes in the global economy. Over the past two decades especially, increased globalization in the film industry, partially due to the explosion of the Chinese film market and a saturation of the domestic box office, has caused the American box office to be overtaken by the international film market, with foreign ticket sales now accounting for over sixty percent of global revenues for American studio films.3 This expansive globalization of the past few years has, without a doubt, come to impact the content of the films produced by studios so that they may be more marketable overseas, and nowhere is this more apparent than Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise. Produced by Paramount Pictures, the franchise has consistently utilized neoliberal strategies in content and marketing to ensure its economic success around the globe, and as such, serves as a[n Optimus] prime case study for how globalization and deregulation have impacted the film industry; 1 Joseph Stiglitz, Globalization and Its Discontents Revisited (New York, NY: W.W.
