Kitana/Kung: Apple IIe

Kitana and Kung travel from Outworld to Earth and assess the civilization symbolism of the inventive Apple IIe computer and how it keeps humanity away from defined darkness!

I'm going to sign off with this love-letter to humanity's fascination with technology and machinery, inspired by the film Ghost in the Machine! Thanks for reading (this tale invokes characters/avatars from the Mortal Kombat video-game franchise),

Kitana and Kung traveled from their inter-dimensional combat-universe called Outworld into the realm of Earth's solar system in the Milky Way galaxy of humanity's 'known' universe to analyze human civilization machinery and its use-value regarding socialization, sanity, and security. Kitana and Kung discovered that humans celebrated the wondrous and ingenious modern marvel, the computer called the Apple IIe, which facilitated great forms of network protocol uniformity and tech-data storage flexibility! They realized the Apple IIe had become something like a 'wind-fan' for humanity, creating intriguing forms of realm intelligence, and they began to feel real envy towards humanity's grasp of complete technological diligence! Kitana and Kung were potent warriors, female/male, from Outworld and considered human civilization a beacon of great socialized diarism. Were they correct?

KITANA: It seems the computerized world has vanities of intelligence.

KUNG: We're both warriors from Outworld and need not worry about vanities on Earth!
KITANA: Yet, this computerization facilitates forms of socialized hypnosis, no?
KUNG: True, but computerization is no different than martial uniforms in Outworld.
KITANA: Well, how does Apple Computers in America facilitate youth activity on Earth?
KUNG: Apple computers such as the Apple IIe encourage imaginative programmers.

KITANA: Does Outworld have such imagination enrichment streamlined in a matrix?
KUNG: Sure we do; Kotal Kahn works to offer warriors in Outworld such as Baraka morphing blades!
KITANA: What do morphing blades have to do with the Apple IIe on Earth, Kung?

KUNG: Kitana, just like the Apple computer, Baraka's mutating blades signify adaptation!
KITANA: So, adaptation is the key to intelligence molding.
KUNG: Indeed; that's why Earthlings love Facebook, a tool for 'molding' social intelligence.
KITANA: Do humans use the Apple IIe more liberally than Baraka uses his mutating blades in Outworld?
KUNG: Kitana, I honestly think Baraka's hand-blades are as symbolic as humans' Apple IIe.
KITANA: Well, I wield fan-blades that can decapitate an adversary or challenger.
KUNG: As I wield my blade-hat capable of decapitating a challenger who approaches me as I throw it!
KITANA: Maybe this fancy talk about technology and tools reflects a social focus on energy maintenance.
KUNG: Sure it does; the better we harness and maintain our energy, the more we're capable of efficiency.
KITANA: Yet, computerization has been criticized by humans themselves as a sign of social monotony.

KUNG: Well, computer video-games still symbolize a human interest in vibrant machine use!
KITANA: Do Baraka's hand-blades in Outworld likewise symbolize an interest in tool exuberance?

KUNG: I believe they do!
KITANA: Well, maybe then our Outworld of vicious warriors is not different from Earth's civilization!
KUNG: Well, on Earth, Apple Computers represent a socialized fascination with intelligence and peace.
KITANA: Capitalism on Earth facilitates bridges towards peace, but in Outworld, we fight for power!
KUNG: Well, capitalisn on Earth also involves power fights, but they invent machines for commercial greetings.
KITANA: Is such capitalism-machinery more 'civil' than our Outworld combat tournaments?
KUNG: Even if humans celebrate the Apple IIe, they still marvel at the splendor of military technologies.
KITANA: Well, we Outworld warriors can't boast such lifestyle amenities as the inventive Apple IIe.
KUNG: Perhaps the 'convenience' of the Apple makes it 'easy' to take peace for granted!
KITANA: In that case, perhaps Earth capitalism is like a veil for socialized neglect of base instincts!
KUNG: Any sentient being caters to both peace and warlike stances, but tools may promote comfort.
KITANA: Are humans more peaceful because of the Apple IIe?
KUNG: They're certainly at least more democratic because of the Apple IIe.
KITANA: Perhaps we'll learn a great deal about 'drama' from Earth ambitions.
KUNG: Perhaps, Kitana.

After Kung and Kitana departed from Earth and returned to Outworld, they informed master Kotal Kahn, overseer of the Mortal Kombat tournament in Outworld that Earthlings had invented a 'home machine' called the Apple IIe computer that facilitated great peace rhetoric. Kahn demanded to know if such 'rhetoric' rivaled the power-pyramids in Outworld that facilitated great socialized dialogue regarding governance bureaucracy that stood the test of time despite Outworld warriors' endless fascination with fighting. Kung and Kitana explained that the Apple IIe had given humanity a special boon, one that illuminated their innate desire to celebrate true diarism and denounce forms of dystopia and direct terrorism!
