"A Cosmic Battery can readily evolve into a Kernel Node. All it needs, is a more definitive purpose. Mere mass and energy storage may not be not enough, and may be needed as a command post, a manufactory, or even a conjuration altar, managed by at least a pair of Daemon Queens. Cosmic Battery Nokama in turn has evolved into Kernel Node Nokama, and a fitting throne room for Iteration Zero. Cosmic Batteries that undergo this transformation remain stationary, adapting to the demands of the facilities and stations within the system. As such, Kernel Node Nokama serves primarily as a command post and developed as a response to how the system was built up. Within the borders of the moon-sized shell of the Cosmic Battery was born the Kernel Node."

"Compared to the simplistic designs that bound them, Kernel Nodes vary in design, and are the pinnacle of my self expression. Kernel Nodes came about in an attempt to wrangle myself with how far I've spread myself. A measure to tether myself, maintain my sense of identity and shackle copies of myself to myself, for lack of any better description. Now that I am in my era of clarity, I also built these things as a measure to suppress and deny my daughters with my aggressive need to reinforce my sense of self."

"And yet... In this age, in spite of my violence, they join the effort in safeguarding them. An additional line of defense against a manifestation of my own self destruction." - Terlynn
