" The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long...
              ...and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy.
"

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

— John Gillespie Magee, Jr

" I've seen things you people wouldn't believe
  attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
  I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser gate.
  All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Design Notes :
Rutger Hauer's soliloquy nearing the end of Ridley Scott's Bladerunner has always resonated with me.
I attempted to transfer the speech into a visual medium. This piece won't be finished until I create my own version of the enigmatic Tannhäuser gate (noted as the name of a battle in Bladerunner's side-quel "Soldier".

Soundtrack (music to draw to) : Vangelis - Bladerunner film score (Both versions)

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. - E E Cummings

Early in the 21st Century, THE TYRELL CORPORATION advanced Robot evolution into the NEXUS phase - a being virtually
identical to a human - known as a Replicant.

The NEXUS 6 Replicants were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them.

Replicants were used Off-world as
slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and
colonization of other planets.

After a bloody mutiny by a NEXUS 6 combat team in an Off-world colony, Replicants were declared illegal on earth - under penalty of death.

Special police squads
- BLADE RUNNER UNITS - had orders to shoot to kill, upon detection, any trespassing Replicant.

This was not called execution.
It was called retirement.
