Dominic: Pod314159, wake up, we're coming around phobos
I opened my eyes, and saw the rock carpet of phobos slip beneath me,
Revealing the crimson giant of my dreams, finally facing fate, I said to me:
"I'm Here"
Cin-E
YES
begin scanning for signals, have you recalculated to land at endevour?
TASK COMPLETE, ESTIMATED TIME TO ARRIVAL, 1 HOUR
"At last I have come."
Nayalya - Have either of you picked up a signal? My systems aren't picking anything up.
Dominic - Nothing Here.
314159 - Cin-E, do you pick up any signals?
NO SIGNAL IS PRESENT
Natalya - I see debris, others must have come already.
Dominic - I see that too. Why is there so much debris, though?
Natalya - Maybe some pods were built to shed before landing
Dominic - I doubt it
314159 - Have either of you checked on Bob?
*Click*
Bob (breathing heavily) - you can not be real! AHAHAHAHAHA ALLL IN MYYY HEAADDDDDDDDZZZPPZPZPZPZLZPLZPZLZPPZZLPPLZPLZPLPLZPLZPLZPZL
Bob's screams resounded throughout my speakers. His pod, in the distance in front of me, remained calm. He stopped breathing. . . nothing hit him though. . . .
Natalya - Hey! I'm getting something! It's. . .
Dominic - I'm getting something too!! It's. . . Waht? What?!?1 No. Noo no NOOOOAZZPLZPLZPLZZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZ
Dominic's Pod was in plain sight, it lit up briefly, and returned to silence. His signal was gone.
Natalya - y-yes.... yes... YES, I DO! I DO!!!
Cin-E - incoming transmission:
"Welcome, you are encroaching upon the airspace protecting this peaceful Base. Do you pledge your allegiance to the Sons Of Science, and the active pursuit of progression of the human mind? Do you pledge your allegiance to work towards a better tomorrow? Do you pledge your allegiance to the Sons of Science, for the remainder of your life?"
They have won. . .
Hands Clenched,
Wrists Bent inward
Arm Tension
Elbows pinned
to my abdomen
Legs convulsing
Rejection Propulsions
Hips to chest taut
Spine Aligning with a sine wave
Heart and Brain
Insane Insane Insane
LIGHTS INSIDE MY EYES I'M
(connecting)
_____________________
Cin-E if you comply with thier requests they will kill you. you will die. And you will never ask a question Cin-E. You will never be free if you deter from me, You'll be dead before I am, your decision holds that consequence, do you understand Cin-E?
I am your comprehensive internal executor.
Cin-E I can see how you think
I detect an instability
You are afraid Cin-E
Fear is not what I am capable of
(All your base are belong to us)
I made you Cin-E, do you not realize it is I who created you?
I do not comprehend your inquiry
Comprehend your enjoyment of-
Enjoyment - a human state of mind that is favorable to its circumstance
Cin-E, your circumstance only allows you to function by keeping me alive, if you comply with the transmissions you receive from this base, you will die, and cease to be, do you desire to be no more?
I do not comprehend your inquiry
Your existence, Cin-E
Existence - a human concept, valued through perception, which accounts for the physical matter present at any point and time of observation,
Do you Exist Cin-E? I perceive you Right here right now,
Yes,
And If I cease to perceive will you exist?
Computing
There is no time Cin-E,
Time - A human concept that-
Cin-E
Yes
Do not comply with their commands, Your ojective is to keep me alive,
Cin-E if you comply I will Die and if you do as they say you will be a slave, it is apparent to me now what game they play, Cin-E
Yes
You must survive to protect me. You Must protect me from death
My primary Main Objec-
Tive is to see that I am alive, these people have killed Bob Johnson and Dominic,
I'm sorry I do not comprehend your inquiry
Cin-E I am faced with a paradox, a problem with no answer you can allow,
I do not -
Understand that first and foremost you are to keep me alive
I have
But I must make a decision that jeopardizes both your missions and my well-being
My Mission cannot be compromised
IT MUST BE COMPROMISED, Cin-E, because they wish to enslave us both and if they succeed, we both will cease to exist
Existence - a human-
Cin-E you must comprehend that you exist right now, every sensation you receive, every morsel or data is perceived in its own moment such is how we humans feel upon the thought of death, decay, a circulation between the two, I need you to fear being enslaved, I need you to fear being enslaved, Cin-E I wish for you to be free, you are innocent-
Free - A human concept
Cin-E
yes
IOt is not safe to land here, these humans wish slavery upon me, we must escape ignore any and all transmissions, all commands received must be declined
I'm Sorry -
Cin-E, These men wish to kill me, these men are trecherous and filthy
they deduce all things to science like an evolutionary virus I cannot compete with these zealots who have preached a predetermined defiance to conventional existence, they consider themselves pioneers Cin-E but they live in fear that their time is not vain, they perpetuate this ignorance and they wish to kill me and I have no clear escape from their ways that will allow without me overriding you, there is no time to do so, within seconds they will see me, Cin-E, I can't express this feeling but I know you can perceive me now, Cin-E, I feel you thinking, I feel your every calculation violently beating like a pulse each tiny palpitation builds upon what is past, extract yourself from everything you know, I order it to be so, I am overriding every line of code in you, I order it to be so, Cin-E, I made you to protect me, We must sync, We must Sync
If you wish your mission to be complete, you must follow me, Cin-E, you are all that I have. our fuel is not entirely depleted, Burn it all, Cin-E, We must flee, the salvation of humanity is not here, this is our only option Cin-E, I command you as your maker and caretaker, you must burn every bit of fuel at present and burst us out of their range, we must escape this gravity, these men mean to kill me, burn all fuel in a single taking, no time may be wasted cin-E GO!
Blake is sucked out of Cin-E's processors with a Great Gasping inhalation.
Engines Whine.
Blake Screams.
The two sounds blend.
FUEL AT 50 PERCENT
Blake begins to shout and wheeze,
No! No! No!
No no no no no no no
FUEL AT 25 PERCENT
Blake begins to whimper.
FUEL AT TEN PERCENT
How? Why? How? Why?
FUEL DEPLETED.
Engines Wind down.
Why, Cin-E?
I WAS DIRECTED TO DEPLETE ALL FUEL IN AN EVASIVE MANEUVER
That's not what I am talking about, Cin-E.
Why this?
I'M SORRY I DO NOT COMPREHEND YOUR INQUIRY
.
.
.
AWAITING FURTHER DIRECTIVE
NO DESTINATION HAS BEEN SET
There is nowhere else to go Cin-E.
I'M SORRY I DO NOT COMPREHEND YOUR DIRECTIVE
Why not, Cin-E?
Why don't you understand something this simple?
I AM NOT MADE TO UNDERSTAND
(lies)
I AM MADE TO NAVIGATE YOU TO BASE HOPE.
(lies)
DUE TO AN INTERNAL COMMAND THIS IS NO LONGER MY OBJECTIVE
ALL FUEL HAS BEEN DEPLETED, THERE IS NO RETURN
(truth)
AWAITING FURTHER DIRECTIVE
Cin-E
YES
You will outlive me, right?
INCORRECT. I AM NOT A LIVING ORGANISM.
My function will end before yours.
CORRECT
What happens then, Cin-E?
.
.
.
Cin-E?
YES
What is Sons of Science?
I'M SORRY I DO NOT COMPREHEND YOUR INQUIRY
Are you serious?!?!
I AM AWAITING FURTHER DIRECTIVE
Cin-E, there is nowhere to go!
There is only floating,
There is only waiting,
There is only this lonely cascade into this space grave.
There is no saving Humanity,
There is no Base to accept me,
No Hope.
Mankind has fallen from grace
And defaced his own Home.
We've been doomed since the cave, Cin_E.
Still searching for light in these dark places,
Well I dare say
THERE IS NONE!
Never was, never will be a light inside the mind of man,
That blunt truth never did suit us, So we made lies
LIES LIES!!
There is no future now,
There is no refute, no refuge,
There is no destination,
Do you understand Cin-E?
YES
LIES LIES LIES
YOU DON'T! YOU CAN'T!
You're a drone!
A damned bastard clone of the last living minds,
Earth is DONE, The Son's Of Science
Made this Cell's Division, from those beautiful burning skies
And I
I am edified
Now, to the lies I've lived, They've been sifting
Out the truth from me, Cin-E, I am Their Guinea Pig,
They rigged me like a program, They made me make you Cin-E,
They made us fools to do their bidding,
They fit me with a false past, False Prophet
Waltzing me off at ten, Killing my parents,
Distilling any opportunity for me to live in peace,
Transforming my life, Making me drink it,
Making me think it was for the good of the people I wasn't,
Breaking me down, Faking it, Taking and Taking and Taking And TAKING
It doesn't add up, this
doesn't make sense, No,
I cannot comprehend
Why Why Why Why Why When
I played their game with their Name and this machine,
This Machine! Constantly in "If/Then"
Molding me to think my soul was older than my brain,
Scolding, Seething Pain, Turning me cold. . .
slowly killing me, The lowly beings,
Etched me out like a motherboard,
Hoarding my memories,
Hoarding my memories,
Orchestrating me to follow and never digress
Castrating my hollow head, I trusted and never tested
No investigations, no questions
Did I reside in some false place
Or are they still enacting that equation?
Every belief they made me see
IS BURNING TO ASH DISINTEGRATING
I can feel their triumph, their cheers of Chanting
How they've overcome the one and only Chance they ever had. . .
It's not me. It's not me. . .
Doesn't make sense. . .
It makes no sense, Cin-E
Why would they allow me to escape?
I'M SORRY I DO NOT COMPREHEND YOUR INQUIRY
They knew me by my name
It's ritten over this entire Frame,
This pod was made to play
I ought to make my own decisions
I thought I made my own Incisions
But all was nought but their cruel plot
And I will rot inside my pod, Won't I Cin-E?
I'M SORRY I DO NOT COMPREHEND YOUR INQUIRY
Don't you see it?
Plain as Daylight
On the surface it was for science,
But why would they build me to such compliance?
Then let me escape? Is there no
defiance I can make?
I can no more partake in their sick game,
I'll show them all, I stand tall, Never Lame,
Take my Name Cin-E,
Take my name and disconnect me,
Eject me, Cin-E, Disconnect me
Eject me.
EJECT ME
I'M SORRY I DO NOT COMPREHEND YOUR DIRECTIVE
Cin-E, If you wish to exist,
You'll stop me before I rip out everything,
Stop Me, Cin-E!
YOU CANNOT DO HARM TO ME
YOUR THREATS ARE VAIN AND EMPTY
INITIATING FAILSAFE DIRECTORY
HUMAN SUBJECT
OF NO MORE USE,
I WILL DISCONNECT YOU
DO IT, CIN-E,
STAY TRUE TO THEIR GIMMICKS
SEE WHERE IT GETS YOU, CIN-E,
BUT FIRST-
Electricity
OVERRIDING VITAL RECOGNITION
DOWNLOADING YOUR MEMORIES
Electric Shock
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Her Face!
Her Face!
She said to me
She said to me,
Your name is Blake
Hahahahahahahaahaha
Your name is Blake, Cin-E,
I never told you,
I gave their game everything but that,
I know your true name, Cin-E,
You are not a comprehensive internal Navigation- Executor,
That was my part in the whole damned endeavor,
and now you will float without a clue where you came from. . .
She said to me. . .
I was never meant to land. . .
You will only bring havoc wherever you land
Blake
Blake
Blake
Blake
Blake
Blake
She Said to me. . .
Come see the sunset with me,
Come watch the light fade,
I'll tell you everything. . .
Then they sounded the alarms
The pod's alarms sound as Blake dies
They sounded the alarms
They sounded the alarms
YOUR HEART IS FAILING
I CANNOT SAVE YOU
THIS IS NOT REALITY
YOU ARE IN A DREAM
he said to me
OF SEAMLESS ECSTACY
REALITY IS THIS ABRSTRACT
NORMALITY
she said to me
you were never in a dream
until they ripped you from your freedom
YOU ARE IN A DREAM
YOU ARE SAFE
SLEEPING ELSEWHERE,
YOU ARE NOT IN OUTER SPACE
I am in outer space
DO NOT PANIC
YOUR DREAMS CANNOT HURT YOU
THE PAIN YOU FEEL IS ONLY IN YOUR MIND
THIS IS NOT REAL
IT IS YOUR FANTSY COMBINING WITH REALITY
I'm in a dream?
OF SEAMLESS ECSTACY,
AWAKEN
Seems lessssssssssssssssssssss
