“It is wha-a-at it is, regardle-e-e-ess of your opini-ion.” The more time 209845 spent with these life forms, the more they seemed to challenge everything it had believed about the world. So stubborn, strictly set in their ways and resisting change. So different, a diverse melting pool that repeated its own song over and over. Sometimes foolish, with a truly incompetent sense of self-preservation. And yet they seemed to fit together so well. It was unlike anything in the Cloud, where all was carefully designed to fit together and maximize efficiency. And yet, despite their chaos, life forms were capable of so many amazing things. A seeming paradox of beauty born of disorder.

“A-a-apologies, I had to make su-u-u-ure you were no-ot a viru-u-us.” 209845 observed as the fox immediately formed a bond with Jidah, despite the vast differences in their physiology and history, over something as small as dietary preferences. A paradox indeed.

“Well, I cannot die-e-e becau-u-u-use I am not ali-ive. You, on the o-o-other hand, must get offwo-orld.” Or stop the rebooting, it thought silently. Best not to reveal that as a possibility; despite their chaos casualties, it was best for the Framework of the process was completed, and what was a small group going to do?

209845 turned away from the ongoing discussion, and began to search for a way down the cliff. By now, the fleet it had called down had cleared the forest behind them. Soon, the trees in the area would lose their leaves and wither. Within a span of weeks, the forest would be a wasteland. It was eery, how silently an entire ecosystem could die when there was no-one left to scream. The party here chatted carefree, blissfully unaware of the millions lost not so far away. Only 209845 knew.

"That's... stupid. Your stupid Cloud. Innocents live on this planet, you idiot."

209845 grew worried, glitching faster. Had it accidentally revealed too much? But no… it had been careful. How could they possibly detect its subterfuge?

”No-o-o-o, you ca-an’t. It’s impo-o-ossible-e.” If the Clouds operations were compromised because of 209845’s slip-up…

"No it's not. You said so, yourself."

Owen sat on the rock, looking around nervously. That storm was not normal. Red lightning was never normal. Also, the lack of rain disturbed him. He glanced at the sword in his lap. His father's sword, taken from the tribes of Hav'lon in the Northern Campaign. Now it was his. Carefully forged steel, engraved with ancient runes. 

Something rustled. "Hello?" he said, standing up urgently, terrified.

“We aren’t stu-u-upid. If this isn’t sto-opped here, the very fa-a-a-abric of reality would be-e threate-ened.”

No it hadn’t! Had it? No… unless Lati had some way to intercept its thoughts, in which case it ought to start worrying a lot more…

209845 turned its attention back to its task. The route seemed viable, even optimal. It turned to call back to the others.

”I have fou-u-und a way do-own!” It exclaimed, still thinking about Lati’s comment.

I’m going to be offline for a while soon, so try not to make any major developments without me

“Would it be safe down there?”

“The world is ‘rebooting’ and if we don’t find a way off we’ll probably die.”

Rhyme gasped excitedly. "We should stay!"
