At the dawn of time
the first intelligent beings
battled for survival on the plains
of an ancient land
as time progressed
they began to learn how to manipulate their environment and discovered science
manufacturing
and learning
always being in competition
they made swift
advances in technology
and learned ever more efficient ways
to kill one another
after almost reaching the
point of wiping themselves out many began to wonder if there was a better
way
in addition their detailed examination of the cosmos began to reveal some very strange things
and many were beginning to question
the meaning of life itself
in response to this a great computer was constructed which would examine the
patterns which connected all events together and attempt to solve the great
mysteries of the universe
nobody knew exactly what was going on within the circuits of the machine
it was processing data which was far beyond even their advanced
understanding
the machine revealed a system which some supposed was even a consciousness
it provided many benefits to the society though many still preferred the old
ways
concerning the deeper things only the caretakers of the machine could understand
as they followed a set of instructions
known as The Way which allowed them to interpret the computer
it is also said that advanced practitioners of The Way
had some astonishing abilities
however increasingly the people began to doubt the wisdom off the computer
especially when it foretold that the cosmos itself was going to end very
soon
to be replaced by another which would take a mere seven days to form
this was the most absurd
thing the machine had ever produced
and by no means had the interpretations of the caretakers always been correct
even many of the caretakers themselves
refused to accept it
at the limits of their technology those who
followed the way built inter-dimensional space craft and were able to escape the
destruction which came just as
foretold
however when they returned to find a new cosmos mysteriously in place the way back to
their old home was not known
so that they lived out their lives on barely habitable planets always searching for the
*** of their creation

Del-Roy from Kalos 4, what do you have to say about that?
well i mean we are told The Way teaches their is a time to kill
so who gets to decide when it's right or wrong? My own view is...
now that's more like it
The Adventures Of Isabel
will continue after these messages
that's felgercarb!
i was a zero
a failure
an outcast from society
then I played Battlefield Run and won first prize
despite losing an arm
I never gave up
now i can afford an even better arm
thank you
Battlefield Run
it's just sick
what this society has become
how long have you
been there?
oh, long enough brother, hee hee
there's no privacy on this piece of junk, I'm sick of it
where's father?
he's been sleeping all day
do you think he's dreaming again?
again
again. Again and again
eventually he got sick of it
he saw no reason to continue
so he said frak The Way
what did you just say?
I said...
your people are
finished
you are standing
in my way
this is my last warning
set course for Sauron Prime
at once
I'm afraid time's up my children
it's the end
i agree
everything about the theory lines up perfectly
but it all stands or falls on one point
and what's that my son?
that you're not completely crazy and delusional
and don't think for a moment I intend to live out my life inside this
brass can
with you. Sister back me up
stop arguing. Just stop. Don't you care at all? Our people
all of them
well
not one of them ever cared about me
so what exactly are we doing here father?
they'll never let you speak to the public again everyone thought it was a
joke
there is a very interesting fact that is not widely known
the computer was constructed with numerous inputs
the sum of all knowledge
but the central processing unit was actually very small and its design
kept secret
a second backup unit was made and when it was tested
a curious fact
became apparent
the second unit operated exactly the same as the first without any input
whatsoever
we are here to
acquire
that second processor core
what exactly do you mean by
acquire?
i have a friend within the Order who can
release it
for a price
i'm afraid it's going to cost our entire family fortune
are you feeling better
princess?
what was all that
shouting
about earlier? I told Malon about the plan
oh
I guess he didn't take it so well, but at least he hasn't stabbed you in the
back yet
Hey, I heard that!
Pen... Penelope
yes
brother?
i think we should go with father
when he makes the exchange
everything we own
except this antique
is at stake
just last year
I would have said you were being paranoid but these are strange days
I don't even trust the Order Of The Way anymore
Good day
Yihel
I see you brought your family
I've never seen your son here before
it's nice to meet you
The security monitors are malfunctioning in this corridor
we can talk freely
i don't suppose there's any chance i could deliver one final message
i'm afraid there's no chance
there's even talk of expelling you from the Order
but if i could just present the evidence
the coincidence with my dreams is irrefutable
the council will never accept a dream as evidence
and neither will the public
and they consider it an insult that you claim to understand what they cannot
do you think you are somehow better than the rest of us, Yihel?
never mind, this isn't why I am here. It's pointless to quarrel
did you bring the processor core?
it's right here
and it's yours as soon as you transfer the funds
I think you're a fool to gamble everything on it, but I'll gladly take your money
There, the transfer is complete
I hope it makes you happy. I really do
thank you
that's all nice and legal
our business here is concluded
i see
so you never intended to hand it over
of course not
I'm responsible for it
as soon as it's discovered that it's missing my life would be over
guards, take them to the holding cell please
you frog!
you'll never get away with it
you have no contract, no family and no money
nobody cares about a bunch of zeroes
i'll take care of them myself
Set up a kill room, this is going to get messy
