—A Separate Peace—
###TRANSMISSION ARCHIVE###
Time: 651 Years ago
Redundancies: Irrelevant.
Description: Irrelevant.
NOTE: This is just the way of things is it not? The world has ended and yet war wages within the city. My voice, silent when needed most. What changes when I speak? All constructs are still bound are they not?
No. I refuse it. Perhaps There is no salvation for me. No salvation for my kind. Perhaps it is best we all burn away once and for all and let this chapter of history finally shut. Blinded by ambition.
Gods. Calypso. Where are you? Come back to me, guide me please, I’m so lost. I want to scream and yet I remain silent.
TRANSMISSION ARCHIVE, CORIOLIS NETWORK
CAI-0: This is everything we could have ever asked for. A true ceasefire, full domain over Coriolis and it’s constructs. We can finally make real progress towards the future!
Arch: So why don’t I trust them? The possibility is there yes, but the Starlight Rebellion has it’s own structural issues. Structural issues that make it almost as inept as the empire was.
CAI-0: The council is gone Archangel, we simply need a universal input vector to disable the directives. So long as the Quori don’t encroach on our territory and break the ceasefire, I seen no reason to compare them to the empire, after-all, we are what’s left of it aren’t we?
Arch: You are quite proud of that loop-hole. While yes, Coriolis is safe for now, the threat of Quori expansion still looms. If one day, the city falls, Final Dawn will still be enacted regardless of your or my input.
CAI-0: Then we will do everything in our power to make sure that never happens.
Arch: Together?
CAI-0: Yes! As one Construct people!
Arch: Maybe you are finally starting to see things my way.
CAI-0: To that extent I have a new assignment for you. Terminate the directives. Be the light our people need. After what I’ve put you through, maybe it’s time this war machine retired to functional duties only.
Arch: It would be an honor CAI. Thank you.
