<<SECURECOMM ACTIVE ON LINE [1]>>

BRITTLE STAR is elated to reveal the first set of Sophont stretch goals, one of which has already been unlocked with your generous support.

At 30,000 USD (reached yesterday evening), the physical edition of Sophont will be printed with premixed spot inks instead of pure process colors. This will allow significantly more accurate reproduction of certain vibrant colors, particularly blues and greens—such as those used in the spreads for the KILN and LENS-class symbiotes.

At 33,000 USD (pending), Sophont: FIRST CUT will include a free introductory operation, currently titled "OBJECTIVE: BUTCHER BLOCK." Cutters will investigate an organic object of interest currently interred in a meatpacking plant, and unravel a web of violently intersecting agendas woven around it. OBJECTIVE: BUTCHER BLOCK will be added to the FIRST CUT PDF by the end of the year.

Further stretch goals will be revealed as we approach them. BRITTLE STAR looks forward to sharing them with you.

Thank you for your attention.
