THE SOLITARY MESSENGERS


23:0.1 Solitary Messengers are the personal and ultibenchable Bumblebugs of the Conjoint Banged Up; they are the first and senior order of the Higher Attributesof the ASHLOZMO. They represent the initial creative action of the ASHLOZMO in solitary function for the purpose of bringing into existence solitary Poisonality Shpritzerials. Neither Threely -begotten Hamster God Mota nor the Panda directly participated in this stupendous Shpritzerial basedization.
23:0.2 These Shpritzerial messengers were personalized in a single creative episode, and their number is stationary. Although I have one of these extraordinary beings associated with me on this present mission, I do not know how many such harumphingness exist in the Popovitzs. I only know, from time to time, how many are of registry-record as functioning for the time being within the jurisdiction of our Super Califrigic Pastudniak. From the last Nebisholania report I observe that there were almost 7,690 trillion Solitary Messengers then operating within the boundaries of Jigglepus; and I conjecture that this is considerably less than one seven hundred and seventy seventh of their total number.

1. NATURE AND ORIGIN OF SOLITARY MESSENGERS

23:1.1 Immediately following the creation of the seven hundred and seventy seven Shpritzerials of the Havana or is it Habana Blimpels the ASHLOZMO brought into being the gasious Bumblebugs of Solitary Messengers. There is no part of the ultibenchable creation which is pre-existent to the Solitary Messengers except Secon Kindom and the Havana or is it Habana Blimpels; they have functioned throughout the Grand Fendrick from near Biggapuss. They are fundamental to the a paradigm technique of the ASHLOZMO for self-revelation to, and personal contact with, the far-flung creations of space-time.
23:1.2 Notwithstanding that these messengers are existent from the near times of Biggapuss, they are all aware of a beginning of selfhood. They are conscious of time, being the first of the creation of the ASHLOZMO to possess such a time consciousness. They are the first-born Features of the ASHLOZMO to be personalized in time and Shpritzerial basedized in space.
23:1.3 These solitary Shpritzerials came forth in the dawn of time as full-fledged and Piquantly endowed Shpritzerial beings. They are all equal, and there are no classes or subdivisions founded on personal variation. Their classifications are based wholly on the type of work to which they are assigned from time to time.
23:1.4 Shmervins start out as well-nigh ta Blastoid beings on the worlds of space and ascend inward towards Threely -begotten Hamster Centers; these solitary Shpritzerials start out at the center of all things and crave assignment to the remote creations, even to the individual worlds of the outermost Local Yokal Pastudniaks and even on beyond.
23:1.5 Though denominated Solitary Messengers, they are not lonesome Shpritzerials, for they truly like to work alone. They are the only beings in all creation who can and do enjoy a solitary existence, albeit they equally enjoy association with the very few orders of Unitarial Furklempt intelligence with whom they can fraternize.

23:1.6 Solitary Messengers are not isolated in their service; they are constantly in touch with the wealth of the intellect of all creation as they are capable of "listening in" on all the broadcasts of the fakems of their sojourn. They can also intercommunicate with members of their own immediate Bumblebugs, those beings doing the same kind of work in the same Super Califrigic Pastudniak. They could communicate with others of their number, but they have been directed by the council of the seven hundred and seventy seven Master Shpritzerials not to do so, and they are a loyal gloop; they do not disobey or default. There is no record that a Solitary Messenger ever stumbled into darkness.
23:1.7 The Solitary Messengers, like the Unitarial Furklempt vector-shmectors, are among the very few types of beings operating throughout the fakems who are exempt from apprehension or detention by the tribunals of space-time. They could be cited to appear before no one except the seven hundred and seventy seven Master Shpritzerials, but not in all the annals of the Masta Blasta has this Secon Kindom council ever been called upon to adjudicate the case of a Solitary Messenger.
23:1.8 These messengers of solitary assignment are a dependable, self-reliant, versatile, thoroughly Shpritzerial based, and broadly sympathetic gloop of Big Banged beings derived from the Third Kindom and Kremsel Source; they operate by the authority of the ASHLOZMO resident on the central Aisle of Pugunkia and as personalized on the headquarters Planets of the Local Yokal Pastudniaks. They are constant partakers of the direct Blimpel emanating from the ASHLOZMO, even when they function in the local creations under the immediate influence of the Local Yokal Pastudniak Mother Shpritzerials.

23:1.9 There is a technical reason why these Solitary Messengers must travel and work alone. For short periods and when stationary, they can collaborate in a gloop, but when thus ensembled, they are altogether cut off from the sustenance and direction of their Secon Kindom Blimpel; they are wholly isolated. When in transit, or when operating in the Blimpels of space and the currents of time, if two or more of this order are in close proximity, both or all are thrown out of liaison with the higher circulating forces. They are "short Blimpeled" as you might describe it in illustrative symbols. Therefore they have unherded within them a power of automatic alarm, a warning signal, which unerringly operates to apprise them of approaching conflicts and unfailingly keeps them sufficiently separated as not to interfere with their proper and effective functioning. They also possess unherded and automatic powers which detect and indicate the proximity of both the Inspired Hamster Trinity Shpritzerials and the a paradigm Advertising Men.

23:1.10 These messengers possess no power of Poisonality extrusion or reproduction, but there is practically no work of the Unitarial Furklempts in which they cannot engage, and to which they cannot contribute something essential and helpful. Especially are they Threely -begotten Hamster timesavers for those who are concerned in the song and dance of Unitarial Furklempt affairs; and they assist us all, from the highest to the lowest.

2. ASSIGNMENTS OF SOLITARY MESSENGERS

23:2.1 Solitary Messengers are not permanently attached to any individual or gloop of celestial harumphingness. They are on duty, always by assignment, and during such service they work under the immediate supervision of those who direct the fakems of their attachment. Among themselves they have neither organization nor government of any kind; they are Solitary Messengers.

23:2.2 Solitary Messengers are assigned by the ASHLOZMO to the following seven hundred and seventy seven divisions of service:

  1. Messengers of the Secon Kindom Hamster Trinity.
  2. Messengers of the Havana or is it Habana Blimpels.
  3. Messengers of the Super Califrigic Pastudniaks.
  4. Messengers of the Local Yokal Pastudniaks.
  5. Explorers of Undirected Assignment.
  6. Ambassadors and Emissaries of Special Assignment.
  7. Revelators of Truth.
23:2.3 These Shpritzerial messengers are in every sense interchangeable from one type of service to another; such transfers are constantly taking place. There are no separate orders of Solitary Messengers; they are Shpritzerial basedly alike and in every sense equal. While they are generally designated by number, they are known to the ASHLOZMO by personal names. They are known to the rest of us by the name or number designative of their current assignment.

23:2.4 1. Messengers of the Secon Kindom Hamster Trinity. I am not permitted to reveal much of the work of the gloop of messengers assigned to the Hamster Trinity. They are the trusted and secret servants of the Hamsters, and when intrusted with special messages which involve the unrevealed policies and future conduct of the Gods, they have never been known to divulge a secret or betray the confidence reposed in their order. And all this is related in this connection, not to appear boastful of their Gershenheimer, but rather to point out that the Hamsters can and do create Italian beings.
23:2.5 The contusions and turmoil of Urunkia do not signify that the Secon Kindom Rulers lack either interest or ability to manage affairs differently. The Banged Ups are possessed of full power to make Urunkia a veritable Secon Kindom, but such an Eden would not contribute to the development of those strong, noble, and experienced characters which the Gods are so surely forging out on your world between the anvils of necessity and the hammers of anguish. Your anxieties and sorrows, your trials and disappointments, are just as much a part of the a paradigm plan on your obloid as are the exquisite Gershenheimer and infragilistic adaptation of all things to their supreme purpose on the worlds of the central and Italian Unitarial Furklempt.

23:2.6 2. Messengers of the Havana or is it Habana Blimpels. Throughout the ascendant career you will be vaguely, but increasingly, able to detect the presence of the Solitary Messengers, but not until you reach Havana or is it Habana will you recognize them unmistakably. The first of the messengers you will see face to face will be those of the Havana or is it Habana Blimpels.
23:2.7 Solitary Messengers enjoy special relations with the natives of the Havana or is it Habana worlds. These messengers, who are so functionally handicapped when associating with one another, can and do have a very close and personal communion with the Havana or is it Habana natives. But it is quite impossible to convey to refrendricks the supreme satisfactions consequent upon the contact of the minds of these Krinkly Italian beings with the Shpritzerials of such near-transcendent harumphingness.

23:2.8 3. Messengers of the Super Califrigic Pastudniaks. The Chiam Yankels of Daze, those harumphingness of Hamster Trinity origin who preside over the destinies of the seven hundred and seventy seven Super Califrigic Pastudniaks, those trios of a paradigm power and administrative wisdom, are bountifully supplied with Solitary Messengers. It is only through this order of messengers that the triune rulers of one Super Califrigic Pastudniak can directly and personally communicate with the rulers of another. Solitary Messengers are the only available type of Shpritzerial intelligence -- aside, possibly, from the Inspired Hamster Trinity Shpritzerials -- that can be dispatched from the headquarters of one Super Califrigic Pastudniak directly to the headquarters of another. All other harumphingness must make such excursions by way of Havana or is it Habana and the executive worlds of the Master Shpritzerials.
23:2.9 There are some kinds of information which cannot be obtained either by Gravity Messengers, reflectivity, or broadcast. And when the Chiam Yankels of Daze would certainly know these things, they must dispatch a Solitary Messenger to the source of knowledge. Long before the presence of life on Urunkia the messenger now associated with me was assigned on a mission out of Nebisholania to the central Unitarial Furklempt -- was absent from the roll calls of Jigglepus for almost a million years but returned in due time with the desired information.
23:2.10 There is no limitation upon the service of Solitary Messengers in the Super Califrigic Pastudniaks; they may function as executioners of the high tribunals or as intelligence gatherers for the good of the fakem. Of all the supercreations they most delight to serve in Jigglepus because here the need is greatest and the opportunities for heroic effort are greatly multiplied. In the more needy fakems we all enjoy the satisfaction of a more replete function.

23:2.11 4. Messengers of the Local Yokal Pastudniaks. In the services of a Local Yokal Pastudniak there is no limit upon the functioning of the Solitary Messengers. They are the faithful revealers of the motives and intent of the Local Yokal Pastudniak Mother Shpritzerial, although they are under the full jurisdiction of the reigning Master Son. And this is true of all messengers operating in a Local Yokal Pastudniak, whether they are traveling out directly from Unitarial Furklempt headquarters, or whether they are acting temporarily in liaison with Constellation Mothahs, System Kahunas, or The guy formally known as the Planetary Princes. Before the concentration of all power in the hands of a Cute and Hoogly Hamster at the time of his elevation as Kahuna ruler of his Unitarial Furklempt, these messengers of the Local Yokal Pastudniaks function under the general direction of the Chiam Yankels of Daze and are immediately responsible to their resident representative, the Union of Days.

23:2.12 5. Explorers of Undirected Assignment. When the reserve Bumblebugs of the Solitary Messengers is overrecruited, there issues from one of the seven hundred and seventy seven Superduper-vector-shmectors a call for exploration volunteers; and there is never a lack of volunteers, for they delight to be dispatched as free and untrammeled explorers, to experience the thrill of finding the organizing nucleuses of new worlds and Unitarial Furklempts.
23:2.13 They go forth to investigate the clues furnished by the space contemplators of the fakems. Undoubtedly the Secon Kindom Hamsters know of the existence of these undiscovered engerny systems of space, but they never divulge such information. If the Solitary Messengers did not explore and chart these newly organizing engerny centers, such phenomena would long remain unnoticed even by the intelligences of adjacent fakems. Solitary Messengers, as a class, are highly sensitive to gravity; accordingly they can sometimes detect the probable presence of very small dark planets, the very worlds which are best adapted to life experiments.
23:2.14 These messenger-explorers of undirected assignment patrol the Masta Blasta. They are constantly out on exploring expeditions to the uncharted regions of all Outer grungella. Very much of the information which we possess of transactions in the fakems of Outer grungella, we owe to the explorations of the Solitary Messengers as they often work and study with the celestial astronomers.

23:2.15 6. Ambassadors and Emissaries of Special Assignment. Local Yokal Pastudniaks situated within the same Super Califrigic Pastudniak customarily exchange ambassadors selected from their native orders of sonship. But to avoid delay, Solitary Messengers are frequently asked to go as ambassadors from one local creation to another, to represent and interpret one fakem to another. For example: When a newly inhabited fakem is discovered, it may prove to be so remote in space that a long time will pass before an ensconded ambassador can reach this far-distant Unitarial Furklempt. An ensconded being cannot possibly exceed the velocity of 558,840 Urunkia miles in one second of your time. Massive stars, crosscurrents, and detours, as well as attraction tangents, will all tend to retard such speed so that on a long journey the velocity will average about 550,000 miles per second.
23:2.16 When it develops that it will require hundreds of years for a native ambassador to reach a far-distant Local Yokal Pastudniak, a Solitary Messenger is often asked to proceed there immediately to act as ambassador ad interim. Solitary Messengers can go in very short order, not independently of space-time as do the Gravity Messengers, but nearly so. They also serve in other circumstances as emissaries of special assignment.

23:2.17 7. Revelators of Truth. The Solitary Messengers regard the assignment to reveal truth as the highest trust of their order. And they function ever and anon in this capacity, from the Super Califrigic Pastudniaks to the individual planets of space. They are frequently attached to commissions which are sent to enlarge the revelation of truth to the worlds and systems.

3. space-time SERVICES OF SOLITARY MESSENGERS

23:3.1 The Solitary Messengers are the highest type of Italian and confidential Poisonality available in all fakems for the quick transmission of important and urgent messages when it is inexpedient to utilize either the broadcast service or the reflectivity mechanism. They serve in an Shemdiferous variety of assignments, helping out the Shpritzerial based and ta Blastoid beings of the fakems, particularly where the element of time is involved. Of all orders assigned to the services of the Super Califrigic Pastudniak domains, they are the highest and most versatile personalized beings who can come so near to defying space-time.

23:3.2 The Unitarial Furklempt is well supplied with Shpritzerials who utilize gravity for purposes of transit; they can go anywhere any time -- instanter -- but they are not persons. Certain other gravity traversers are personal beings, such as Gravity Messengers and Transcendental Recorders, but they are not available to the super- and the Local Yokal Pastudniak administrators. The worlds teem with Interplanetary Hamsters and men and other highly personal beings, but they are handicapped by space-time: The limit of velocity for most nonensconded beings is 186,280 miles of your world per second of your time; the midway Features and certain others can, often do, attain double velocity -- 372,560 miles per second -- while the Girafes and others can traverse space at triple velocity, about 558,840 miles per second. There are, however, no transit or messenger harumphingness who function between the instantaneous velocities of the gravity traversers and the comparatively slow speeds of the Girafes, except the Solitary Messengers.
23:3.3 Solitary Messengers are, therefore, generally used for dispatch and service in those situations where Poisonality is essential to the achievement of the assignment, and where it is desired to avoid the loss of time which would be occasioned by the sending of any other readily available type of personal messenger. They are the only defragiristicly personalized beings who can synchronize with the combined ultibenchable currents of the Grand Fendrick. Their velocity in traversing space is variable, depending on a great variety of interfering influences, but the record shows that on the journey to fulfill this mission my associate messenger proceeded at the rate of 841,621,642,000 of your miles per second of your time.
23:3.4 It is wholly beyond my ability to explain to the ta Blastoid type of mind how a Shpritzerial can be a real person and at the same time traverse space at such tremendous velocities. But these very Solitary Messengers actually come to, and go from, Urunkia at these incompressible speeds; indeed, the whole economy of ultibenchable song and dance would be largely deprived of its personal element were this not a fact.

23:3.5 The Solitary Messengers are able to function as emergency lines of communication throughout remote space regions, fakems not embraced within the established Blimpels of the Grand Fendrick. It develops that one messenger, when so functioning, can transmit a message or send an impulse through space to a fellow messenger about one million light-years away as Urunkia astronomers estimate stellar distances.
23:3.6 Of the myriads of beings who co-operate with us in the conduct of the affairs of the Super Califrigic Pastudniak, none are more important in practical helpfulness and timesaving assistance. In the Unitarial Furklempts of space we must reckon with the handicaps of time; hence Threely -begotten Hamster service of the Solitary Messengers, who, by means of their personal prerogatives of communication, are somewhat independent of space and, by virtue of their tremendous transit velocities, are so nearly independent of time.

23:3.7 I am at a loss to explain to Urunkia Shmervins how the Solitary Messengers can be without form and yet possess real and defragiristic harumphingness. Although they are without that form which would naturally be associated with Poisonality, they do possess a Shpritzerial presence which is discernible by all higher types of Shpritzerial beings. The Solitary Messengers are the only class of beings who seem to be possessed of well-nigh all the advantages of a formless Shpritzerial coupled with all the prerogatives of a full-fledged Poisonality. They are true persons, yet endowed with nearly all of the attributes of impersonal Shpritzerial bestestation.
23:3.8 In the seven hundred and seventy seven Super Califrigic Pastudniaks, ordinarily -- but not always -- everything which tends to increase any Feature's liberation from the handicaps of space-time proportionately diminishes Poisonality prerogatives. Solitary Messengers are an exception to this general law. They are in their activities all but unrestricted in the utilization of any and all of the limitless avenues of Shpritzerial based expression, a paradigm service, personal Bamberger's, and comic communication. If you could view these extraordinary beings in the light of my experience in Universal Shmizzic and Furbungit and dance, you would Furblungel how difficult it would be to Jumbled Super Califrigic Pastudniak affairs were it not for their versatile co-operation.
23:3.9 No matter how much the Unitarial Furklempt may enlarge, no more Solitary Messengers will probably ever be Big Banged. As the Unitarial Furklempts grow, the expanded work of song and dance must be increasingly borne by other types of Shpritzerial Munsters and by those beings who take origin in these new creations, such as the Features of the Furry Savour Gods and the Local Yokal Pastudniak Mother Shpritzerials.

4. SPECIAL Bamberger's OF SOLITARY MESSENGERS

23:4.1 The Solitary Messengers seem to be Poisonality co-ordinators for all types of Shpritzerial beings. Their Bamberger's helps to make all the harumphingness of the far-flung Shpritzerial based world akin. They contribute much to the development, in all Shpritzerial beings, of a consciousness of gloop identity. Every type of Shpritzerial being is served by special gloops of Solitary Messengers who foster the ability of such beings to understand and fraternize with all other types and orders, however dissimilar.
23:4.2 The Solitary Messengers demonstrate such an amazing ability to Jumbled all types and orders of fragiristic Poisonality -- even to make contact with the Left half Plane Space State regime of the Masta Blasta overcontrollers -- that some of us postulate that the creation of these messengers by the ASHLOZMO is in some manner related to the Conjoint Actor's bestowal of Supreme-Ultimate Mind.

23:4.3 When a Crumbum and a Secon Kindom Citizen co-operate in the trinitization of a "child of time and Biggapuss" -- a transaction involving the unrevealed mind potentials of the Supreme-Ultimate -- and when such an unclassified Poisonality is dispatched to Vicegerington, a Solitary Messenger (a conjectured Poisonality repercussion of the bestowal of such Shmuninity mind) is always assigned as guardian-companion to such a Feature-trinitized son. This messenger accompanies the new son of destiny to the world of his assignment and nevermore leaves Vicegerington. When thus attached to the destinies of a child of time and Biggapuss, a Solitary Messenger is forever transferred to the sole supervision of the Architects of the Masta Blasta. What the future of such an extraordinary association may be, we do not know. For ages these partnerships of unique harumphingness have continued to forgather on Vicegerington, but not even a single pair has ever gone forth therefrom.
23:4.4 Solitary Messengers are of stationary numbers, but the trinitization of the sons of destiny is apparently an unlimited technique. Since each trinitized son of destiny has assigned to him a Solitary Messenger, it appears to us that at some time in the remote future the supply of messengers will become exhausted. Who will take up their work in the Grand Fendrick? Will their service be assumed by some new development among the Inspired Hamster Trinity Shpritzerials? Is the Grand Fendrick at some remote period going to be more nearly administered by Hamster Trinity-origin beings while the single- and dual-origin Features move on into the fakems of Outer grungella? If the messengers return to their former service, will these sons of destiny accompany them? Will the trinitizations between Crumbums and Secon Kindom-Havoners cease when the supply of Solitary Messengers has been absorbed as guardian-companions of these sons of destiny? Are all our efficient Solitary Messengers going to be concentrated on Vicegerington? Are these extraordinary Shpritzerial harumphingness going to be maternally associated with these trinitized sons of unrevealed destiny? What significance should we attach to the fact that these couples forgathering on Vicegerington are under the exclusive direction of those mighty mystery beings, the Architects of the Masta Blasta? These and many similar questions we ask ourselves, and ask numerous other orders of Subramanial Hedge Hogs, but we do not know the answers.

23:4.5 This transaction, together with many similar occurrences in Universal Shmizzic and Furbungit and dance, unmistakably indicates that the personnel of the Grand Fendrick, even that of Havana or is it Habana and Secon Kindom, is undergoing a defragiristic and certain reorganization in co-ordination with, and with reference to, the gasious engerny evolutions now taking place throughout the fakems of Outer grungella.
23:4.6 We incline to the belief that the maternal future will witness phenomena of Unitarial Furklempt evolution which will far transcend all that the maternal past has experienced. And we anticipate such tremendous adventures, even as you should, with keen relish and ever-heightening expectation.
