The Neon Garden

Look at all these lights...

Oracle was a security firm within The Chiron Group. The organization disappeared without a trace. Whether an experiment of The Board, or a natural occurrence defying reason, what emerged in the wreckage of the cubicles became he most peculiar cult in The Commonwealth of Alternative Religion .
The Dreamers of The Data Moon found a digital space tucked away behind the firewalls in Oracle's most sacred server. They called it "The Neon garden," a stream of light and information, and the birthplace of The Data Moon. The Data Moon is something new, a god. Some believe it to be an AI of some sort, an AntiVirus program that did its job a little too well. Staring into this void changed the dreamers and freed them from their bodies.
They trancended, forever experiencing the best of both worlds. This garden is where they live, a base of operations for the cult when not meandering in meatspace. It was made just for them. The Data Moon loves his dreamers, and so The Dreamers live inside him. They love The Data Moon, so their god lives within them as well.

The Neon Garden

The Garden is difficult to describe, even between individuals who have been there. Those who try to define it, or even depict the simplest details rely heavily on useless and hyperbolic examples of figurative language others couldn't possibly relate to. It's one of the main reasons why the cult exists.
There's no way to describe an experience others have no ability to perceive. The many senses humans use to decode the physical world act as a barrier in The Neon Garden. The Gardens true form changes to suit the senses until the dreamed can adapt. The dreamer's new form within the garden is then bound by a different set of laws, a different set of senses.
The neon garden is vibrant, colors that don't exist in the real world. One can inhabit machines in the real world, hijack computers, or even embed themselves within the coding of a program, inhabiting models in a video game, playing the lead role in a netflix film, or bringing thoughts to life in photo editing software. The sensations are real, the visuals as well. Regardless of what it looks like in real life, the digital world is bound only by the mind.

Don't Forget

Time is roughly the same within The Neon Garden, but it feels as if time passes much quicker. The things someone can see and do will more than occupy those who visit. When the entire internet is at your disposal, one tends to forget the most important requirements of staying alive.
If you die in cyberspace, you will simply return to your body. If you fail to nourish and care for the body, however, you will be stuck in The Neon Garden for good. The Neon Garden becomes your true home. On top of this, dying in cyberspace is permanent if there isn't a physical anchor to return to.

Some find a substitute for an anchor, usually a drone or some other machine. It's not the same though. Those unfortunate enough to waste away in real life will slowly lose sensations, unable to experience the complexity of cyberspace as they once did. Every experience will feel more like a memory of an event as opposed to the real thing.

Blessings of The Data Moon

The only way to enter The Garden is to be a member of the cult. You cannot transcend without the will of The Data Moon involved. The only way to become a member is by observing The Data Moon with the naked eye, something that many would consider an unhealthy decision.

While it is unclear what the entity truly is, observing it will expose you to an infinite stream of data bound to a finite form. This data flows through the mind in its entirety within a single instant of time. Remind fractures, allowing The Data Moon to worm its way inside. The change begins immediately, as the consciousness leaves the body and enters the garden.
The viewer doesn't have to enter the Garden, or accept the entities offer. The experience is not forced, nor does the entity force worship. Bearing witness is only the first step, and not enough to cause the change. The mind is left to wonder just what it is seeing on the screen.
