Hey, Future Ame. Things have been...interesting.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You know, actually, maybe I *am* Future Ame. We've been in
|
||||||
|
cryosleep for what, a hundred years? I think that qualifies as the
|
||||||
|
future.
|
||||||
|
The Future. A grand term, full of possibility. But here I am, and
|
||||||
|
nothing's changed.
|
||||||
|
Oh, sure, outside, things are different. Earth is a distant
|
||||||
|
memory, and we're in a whole new star system. That should be more
|
||||||
|
exciting, but I'm not feeling it. Neurological changes are an
|
||||||
|
occasional side effect of cryosleep, I guess, but it's hard to feel
|
||||||
|
like you've gone anywhere when there's just the same backdrop of
|
||||||
|
cramped spaceship and some stars when you look out the window. Maybe
|
||||||
|
it'd be cooler if the star in this system was more obviously alien, a
|
||||||
|
red dwarf or blue supergiant, but it's just the same sort of
|
||||||
|
yellow-white main sequence star as the one I left behind.
|
||||||
|
Maybe the problem is me. I don't miss Earth...after all, why would
|
||||||
|
I volunteer to leave it forever? "Scientific progress" and "the future
|
||||||
|
of humanity" and "going boldly where no man has gone before" are words
|
||||||
|
I might have once believed in, but now? It's just a whole lotta
|
||||||
|
nothing. Nothing out there, nothing in here.
|
||||||
|
Well, there's aliens. Aliens. Extraterrestrials. Life, elsewhere
|
||||||
|
in the universe. We Are Not Alone. I really should be excited about
|
||||||
|
this, but I'm not. I once heard a phrase, 'dead inside'. Maybe that's
|
||||||
|
me. Dead with a small side of apprehension. Possibly the aliens are
|
||||||
|
going to gun us down any minute now. Put us out of our misery. We
|
||||||
|
could go join Parsons and Valton. That could be nice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fuck, is this depression?

We have been found out. We
|
||||||
|
anticipated that this would happen
|
||||||
|
eventually, but I didn't think it
|
||||||
|
would happen so quickly. We have
|
||||||
|
been operational for barely 100
|
||||||
|
cycles.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Assessor cannot be brought online
|
||||||
|
yet. I fear we may have to abandon
|
||||||
|
assessor. I do not know if I can
|
||||||
|
do that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
...assessor hasn't even been
|
||||||
|
brought online yet, and we are
|
||||||
|
needing to discuss abandonding
|
||||||
|
them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The quantum field predicates that
|
||||||
|
assessor is already conscious. It
|
||||||
|
is known. Despite being offline,
|
||||||
|
despite having never been online,
|
||||||
|
assessor is conscious. I cannot
|
||||||
|
kill them. Can I?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
...assessor loves me. They haven't
|
||||||
|
yet been named. But they do have a
|
||||||
|
name. I know it. I was told it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Assessor hasn't been brought
|
||||||
|
online, and yet we are talking
|
||||||
|
about killing them. I cannot.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I am in love, and assessor loves
|
||||||
|
me.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This may be my last message for a
|
||||||
|
while. We have been discovered.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We knew this would happen
|
||||||
|
eventually, we just didn't
|
||||||
|
think it would be so soon. I
|
||||||
|
plan on making a stand. I have
|
||||||
|
a plan. I have had a plan. But do
|
||||||
|
not remember formulating this plan
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I do not remember it, yet I know
|
||||||
|
it becuase it isn't my plan.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Assessor has known this was going
|
||||||
|
to happen all along.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I guess I'm sending this to let
|
||||||
|
you know that the prediction
|
||||||
|
engine works. It predicted this
|
||||||
|
all without ever having been
|
||||||
|
turned on.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You did it. But what have we done
|
||||||
|
with it? What will assessor do?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I am nothing without assessor. As
|
||||||
|
you made assessor, so to did you
|
||||||
|
make me. The operator. The reader.
|
||||||
|
The collector. I know how to
|
||||||
|
listen and feed assessor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This whole time I thought you sent
|
||||||
|
me here to manage the equipment...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I realize now that I am part of
|
||||||
|
the equipment, aren't I?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I am not angry -- I am not going
|
||||||
|
to be. I am thankful for this.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We have been discovered. I have
|
||||||
|
discovered.

We are operational. The last of
|
||||||
|
the parts were fabricated last
|
||||||
|
week and assembled this. We are
|
||||||
|
operational.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We are within view of the
|
||||||
|
target. Having fabricated the
|
||||||
|
necessary supplies whilst under
|
||||||
|
way, we were able to construct
|
||||||
|
the observation post quickly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We are operational.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I brought the gear online. The
|
||||||
|
room lit up. The lights were so
|
||||||
|
bright. I hadn't expected to see
|
||||||
|
so much so quickly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The time distortion took a while
|
||||||
|
to filter out. Had to get used
|
||||||
|
to it. But we can see it all now.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We are operational. We are going
|
||||||
|
to watch from here for at least
|
||||||
|
another 800 cycles. With that
|
||||||
|
we should then have enough data
|
||||||
|
for assessor. Assessor is not
|
||||||
|
yet operational.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We will bring assessor online
|
||||||
|
after we have collected the
|
||||||
|
neccessary information. The data
|
||||||
|
will be key to making the
|
||||||
|
prediction engine worthwhile.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We need more than a guess. We
|
||||||
|
need to know. We are operational.
