This is the first in a series entitled "IXI" (not pronounced "icksy" or "aye-ex-aye" but "nine eleven", although it bears no relation to the date 9/11/01, which was of course a momentous day because that was the day we all found out about the Enron scandal, but this series has nothing to do with Enron). This drawing is pre-IXI, and for good reason, because it involves what appear to be four rectally connected beings that share the same gastroextestinal pipework: some kind of slug-like mulluscial gastropod, a small catlike being, one other small manlike being opposing it on the same platform separated by a fountain, and a large mechanical elephant. You will note that the snail is utilizing a straw to ingest some kind of nourishment from pools of horizontally bisected stromatolites, while a tetrapus (an octopus-like creature with vacuums at the ends of its four tentacles) sucks up the stromatolite nutrients, disregarding the mechanical bird. The tetrapus appears to have a head window in which his brains can be seen. The bubbles that emanate from the creature's siphon float up as they are popped by a multicephalic ophiomorph. On the opposite side of the page, there is a megorapisc that drinks the fountain water in salubrious gulps through its three-headed microrapiscine cloaca. The ophiomorph's macrorifice passes the nourishment on to a system of mechanical apparatuses which utilize the nutrient to power the animatic oscillograph and the generator that transforms the stromatogenic multipartite gastroextestinal liquid into gaseous form, which cannot be seen, although the steam appears where the superheated gas meets cool air and transforms momentarily back into liquid. The autonomous contraption then connects to the embryonic parthenogenerator, where one such Parthenogen can be seen transforming through its piscine and reptilian stages, before becoming human. The parthenogenerated waste is not, however, wasted. It is channeled on to the zoomorphactoric biomechanilab which features an artificially produced and gravitropially developed proto-skeleton that will soon become an animal. Nobody knows where the pipes for the entire extravagant machine connect to, although its traces are believed to exist in the capacious memory of the mechanical elephant.
