I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale (Sergio Martino, 1973)

[simgrump-main]

Nick Martino has recently moved to Del Sol Valley to try and make a name for himself. For as long as he can remember, he's wanted to be a famous musician and it's driven him to be ambitious and an overachiever. Though jealousy can sometimes rear it's ugly head in him, Nick's got a good heart.

(Masterlist)

It was the first sunny day of the season and they had spent it out over the water. By the morning light, the sea was blinding. Each steel gray battleship reflected the White Sun’s rays right into the cockpit. The aircraft, small and inconspicuous, hovered above the enemy fleet like a nervous fairy. It was no weapon of war. The shipmen down below took notice and little green lines of inquiry began to flash upon the craft’s receiver. 

The pilot tilted the screen down and positioned the craft a good mile away from the north-most ship. A reassuring squeeze on the shoulder, a finger pointed in the right direction, and then the unbearable cacophony of steel rendering.

The sea rushed in to fill the gap, causing massive waves to rock the once-still ocean. Where the SS Iselin had been only seconds prior, there now sat a deformed metal mass no larger than the length of a truck. The surrounding water filled with a reddish color, blood and oil escaping the same clutch. As the radio went wild between the remaining fleet ships, the broken body of the Iselin sunk quietly beneath the waves. There were no survivors. Delta had been twelve.

The hovercraft took him back to dry land. The Emperor, the only person the show had ever really been for, stood up to shake the hands of the pilot, of the scientists, and of his Admiral who had pushed so hard for the demonstration. The Emperor lowered himself to speak to Delta, the way you might any child, and saw the tremors all through his body, the cold sweat of convulsions. The Emperor wiped Delta’s hair from his face and said no more.

He was returned to his own quarters back at the institute. The nurse had to hold up one side of him just to make it down the hall. He kept it together as he’d been taught to while in company, but back in his own territory he could no longer suppress the nausea. He spent most of the night on the cold tile floor of his bathroom, as the doctors and the scientists buzzed around taking vitals and hooking him up to strange machines.

By the next week, the deal was done. The royal guards had been sent to collect him. All that he owned could fit into one suitcase, which the director had packed for him personally. The director had also picked who would be leaving with him as a charge - one physician, one scientist. Dr.Martino’s grip tightened harshly on his neck whenever he fidgeted too much. Dr.Yanna had a bad drinking habit. Delta was not happy about these choices, even from the most remote corner of his mind. But he had learned to tolerate both of them at the institute and could appreciate the familiarity. He wasn’t scared of the guards. He kept his head down until they arrived at the palace - and long after that too.

It had presented an interesting but not unprecedented engineering problem, finding out where to keep him. In the past week, they had built the basement up with the same dense psychic insulation that the institute had perfected. Delta had five hundred square feet of space, at the time sparsely furnished. His vague hope was that while in the isolated chamber, they would remove the dampening collar from around his neck. But they left him there with no mention of it. He thought back to the wreckage of the Iselin and realized it was unlikely the collar would ever come off again. He rubbed at the raw skin idly, leaning against the new bed frame. The space was larger than his old room had been, but he had not gotten up to explore it. He sensed that the guards would not like to open up the chamber doors and find him anywhere they had not left him. It was the inclination of many third parties to treat the psionics like machinery - and to be disconcerted by anything that contracted this. Besides that, he knew they were scared of him. As isolated as he had been, even in such ascetic surroundings, he could read fear. It radiated off all of them now.

Casa CGS, Semione

Martino Avilés Architetto

The house is located in the mountainous region of the Blenio Valley. Its design language is simple, sourcing from the fundamentals of traditional agricultural buildings to establish a meaningful relationship with both the natural and built environments.

Despite this traditional reference, the house meets the needs of contemporary living by fostering a connection with the landscape that is contemplative rather than productive. On the night floor, large openings direct the gaze toward specific segments of the landscape, while the day floor features glass surfaces that extend from floor to ceiling on all four sides, emphasizing the vivid presence of natural elements.

The layout is rectangular, oriented parallel to the slope, and divided into two ‹naves› by a central wall, which becomes the primary structuring element of the interior spaces. This wall defines the position of the stairs, which extend in two consecutive flights, linking the internal pathways to the natural topography and thus rooting the house within its terrain. The perimeter of the basement establishes the limits of the private space, beyond which the natural landscape remains untouched.

There weren't many people who would brave the ocean while it was raining, but Tristen met a kindred spirit in a local named Kalamainu'u. They had an instant connection.
