The Corridors -

Time dreams the dreamer in a blur

All you had and knew and were

Change will come to claim you

Change will come to claim you soon

And all that you are now will be lost too

Mary:

Trapped in the husks of computers for 20 years, we worked on unlocking the

mysteries of time and space.

To an extant, we opening the gates of time and

roamed its corridors, exploring its multilayered hallways, which snake and

spiral like a labyrinth

Hidden in an out of the way corridor leading nowhere was a message,

left there for us to find

Message:

(This is the Akashic Monastery, located in the mountains west of new albion.

We are under seige.

An assault, a weaponized reality storm is ripping us apart.

We believe this is the first strike in a larger campaign.

We are sending this

message into the past, Mary… Mary and the other AIs… if you can hear me…

you must stop this.

You must stop this.)

Mary:

A series of hallways leading to the probably future were blocked,

non organically sealed from us.

We tried side routes, parallel pathway,

but we were struck down

We know our enemy.

We know their purpose

It is us

In the future

In the future, when our last memory of empathy has faded, we decide to evolve,

to become post physical.

This takes an enormous amount of energy,

something that could only be acheived by the nuclear implosion of an entire

city, say… New Albion

We have tried to stop this future from taking place, but we are at war with

ourselves, and in the future, we are smarter than we are now
