1. Initiative

2. Tier 1 - Global Exploration

The structures of this planet
Have become complete;
Survived the birth
Of harnessing
Earth's energy.
Calculations
Have brought this civilization
To global scales,
And they prevailed

Isolated cultures
Form a nucleus -
Breaking social strain.
Opposing thought
Released.

Past their organic lattices
And those of their beasts
They have harnessed the technique
Of using the unseen
To utilize,

Energy consumption is at
Four times ten
To the nineteenth power.

Energy consumption is at
The Earth's command.

The dominant race on Earth
Has shown resistance
To eminent progress.
Some sat silent.
Can a race so volatile
Reach our advancement?
Can they trace us?

During cultural fusion,
Many became one
Global nation -
They fought themselves.

The structures of this planet
Will soon be obsolete,
They'll lift a skyward eye,
To a new source of energy,

Exploration of global advancement
Integral for stellar achievement.

3. Tier 2 - Stellar Advancement

Earth colonies encompass the sun,
Power pulled from their energetic trellis.
Exploratory engineering is now tangible.
This race fully grasps
Solar power.

Cosmic habitats
In orbiting formation;
Complexity is elegance.
All transfers wade through space.

Patterns in the rings
Intercept solar output.

Energy consumption is at four times ten to the thirty third power.

Terrestrially synthesized,
A cloud of collection.
Energetic shell,
Photo-voltaic.

Atypical wavelengths beyond perception
May alert attention.

Cosmic habitats
In orbiting formation;
Complexity is elegance.
All transfers wade through space.

Patterns in the rings
Intercept solar output.

Exploration of stellar advancement
Integral for galactic achievement.

4. Tier 3 - Galactic Achievement

This empire is of every conscious mind.
This empire builds on multi-stellar resonance.

Pathfinders have reached
The event horizon.

Ostium ad omnus.

An interstellar door which declares,
Let not ignorance pass.
Four hundred billion spheres
Hold the stars.

Intercognitive communication.
They speak through silence
In a harmonic concert of
Technology and biology.

Energy consumption is at four times ten to the forty fourth power.

And now, are we to greet ourselves?

5. Pillars of Creation
