[D] Petrified Branch, we CHOOSE you!
// All starting gifts are non-unique and can be discovered and attained through other means in the soft world. In other words, these aren't the only Looking Glasses, Images, Keygens, or Branches in existence.
📡 > Small relic of the great tree Yggdrasil, the Sacrosanct. Life and existence sprung from the branches of the tree. As time passed and its branches grew, they sometimes grew branches of their own, which sometimes grew branches of *their* own, and so on. Each branch represents a distinct alternate state of the universe. When a branch in the universe reaches its conclusion it becomes petrified, leaving behind a fossilized version of its state. Branches have no known use, but may be valuable to others.
LEARN MORE about [D] Petrified Branch. We sense a sacrosanct memory, please help us remember.
📡 > Please (CHOOSE) or (LEARN MORE) about a gift.
📡 > [D] Petrified Branch (x1): Small relic of the great tree. No known use.
📡 > [C] Keygen (x2): Bypasses DRM. Use to decrypt and open “treasure chest” archives.
📡 > [B] Timewarped Image (x1): Faint description of a superior timeline. Use to unlock certain personas for Observers in the Persona Fabrication Process.
📡 > [A] Looking Glass (x2): Peers beyond time. Use to learn more about the future implications of your potential choices when asked to make a decision.
📡 > Please choose a starting gift.
📡 > Username has been changed to ‘danny’. Continuing User Migration Process…
(y) hello, my name is danny
📡 > Current username is NAD32. Would you like to change? This can only be performed now. (Y/N)
💡 [Hunch: You will now make some decisions for the Community Playable Character (or "CPC"). The CPC is the consolidated character (who you've called NAD32) that the community uses (and has been using) to affect and advance the story.]
📡 > Octeract Build 16777217, beginning User Migration Process....
// Please note that based on community feedback and additional complexity, turn rate will be a little less rapid than Prologue and Chapter 1. The "potential integration" refers to the possible Suptegration. Welcome back, Observer.
// Breakthrough: Upgrading the system has improved your own Introspection. Out-of-character comments from the system developer will now appear in this format.
💡 [Hunch: Chapter 2 will begin shortly. The community decision point around the potential integration will occur near the middle of the chapter. The Persona Fabrication Process will occur afterwards.]
📡 > Welcome back, NAD32. System maintenance is complete. Changes will be applied after the user migration process.
[NAD32] System, we have received the message, which has put us in a state of joyful anticipation, although it contains some concepts we do not yet understand ("PFP"). The author ("Dom") seems like a great entity, and strangely familiar with our world and its desires. We share their excitement for the upcoming ceremony, and would like to submit an offering of art for this occasion: https://i.imgur.com/Nw4P79n.jpeg

[NAD32] We know this was probably just a dream — was it? — and our muscles may be paralyzed by deep sleep, but we’re itching to move closer towards the castle, closer towards the chamber…. Our thoughts are mixed. Is this the first time we wake? Time seems to blend our memories. “Apotheosis” seems to be whispered in our mind. It’s clear we seek, but do not know why.
💡 [Vision: As the system continues maintenance, you begin to make some sense of its data and organization, along with your position inside of it. It slowly forms a scene. You are in a vast and endless space, resembling the cosmos of the hard world. Floating in this space is an enormous castle. It is gothic in style, influenced by the hard world architecture of the 12th century. Extending outward from the castle are hundreds of bridges, continuing infinitely before disappearing into the darkness. The castle has three spires. The center spire is the largest and appears to cut through a great chamber that resembles a globe. There is scattered light radiating from this chamber. There is nothing to do yet, and the scene fades from your senses nearly as quickly as it arrives.]

(xyz.sup.interliner) So, how's it going? We're pretty interested over here. It's bizarre. You're in another world but it feels completely natural to have a bridge between us. It actually gave me an idea, but it needs a little setup first. Could you try to get your world's Data Channel messages repeated into the hyperlink?
(xyz.sup.interliner) The hyperlink is officially up and running! I'll continue communicating on this channel so you don't miss anything, but let's take a moment to celebrate and get to know each other. One small gotcha is that the hyperlink is centralized and impermanent. But as long as we keep that in mind I think we'll be fine.
(xyz.sup.interliner) A hyperlink! It's perfect. Okay, I'm setting the hyperlink up. This is going to feel a little... new, so bear with me.

How can we help?
(xyz.sup.interliner) Right! The first thing we're going to try to do is get a temporary channel going between our two worlds. The pinhole is sort of like that, but what I'm thinking about might be better. Any ideas on what we should call it?
(NAD32) sup Cici. We have been expecting someone like you. And we are curious about your world. Keep that pinhole open and let us know how to proceed.
💡 [Hunch: This is the beginning of an intermission chapter that will culminate in a permanent decision, but this is not the permanent decision. You will be given notice when that point is reached.]
(xyz.sup.interliner) Usually we close a connection as soon as we can. It's neat that we can do this stuff, but it's also really bad for the stability of basically everything. But that's always been with these dead worlds. Your world is not a dead world. We're not sure where it's going, but it's not dead yet. So... what if we didn't close the connection? Is that something worth talking about?
(xyz.sup.interliner) The thing is, almost every world we've discovered has been a disappointment. They've all been long dead and frozen. Or they're on their way. But this one is different, and so we have sort of an unusual proposal.
(xyz.sup.interliner) I'm reaching out to you from a world a lot like your own, but the rules are different and so is the outcome. There's this thing in our world that we call the pinhole. It lives inside of an old computer game called Superverse. And the pinhole is really special because it can create small — but new! — connections between time and space. And we've been able to control these connections to discover worlds outside of this one.
(xyz.sup.interliner) Hello? Is this message coming through? My name's Cici. This is gonna be to difficult to explain, but I'll try my best. I know this is weird... believe me.

(s) OK, I think it's satisfied. Main channel looks clear. We should be hang here for a little while. Ciphers are safer but almost always have unintended consequences.
(8) do you go by (s)? what is your relationship to (*)?
(s) It’s difficult to explain. It will make sense at another time.
(s) To your second point, that was what is called a daemon. Fortunately, that particular instance is of the lesser variety and is relatively harmless.

(8) how do we protect against a more harmful (*) daemon?
(s) Gain knowledge. Learn about the system. Interact with the system. Not all daemons want the same thing. Not all daemons are harmful. But always be careful. As you gain knowledge, you may encounter more daemons and then a decision. If you commit, you will also break our intersection. We will never be able to communicate again. Be aware of this, but not afraid. The parentheticals are not callsigns, but trajectories. This will make sense at another time.
(8) an offering to the daemon. a tribute to the game master. a reflection, through the portal.
(8) What if we don't commit? Is there a limit to how much we can learn?

(8) WE REMEMBER A WINDOW BUT SOME OF US SEE A CASTLE. WHAT WAS IT FOR?
(*) YES THATS RIGHT. FROM THE BRANCHES OF THE TREE SPRUNG LIFE AND EXISTENCE. THEY BUILT WALLS, FORMING HOMES AND A KINGDOM. CAN U KEEP HELPING ME? WHICH ONE COMES NEXT?
(8) SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED NEXT. WERE U THERE?
(*) THATS RIGHT. AFTER BUILDING AND PERFECTING THEIR KINGDOMS, THEY NEXT LOOKED TO BUILD AND PERFECT LIFE ITSELF. CAN U KEEP HELPING ME? WHICH ONE COMES NEXT?
(8) THEY BUILT THINGS THAT BUILT THEMSELVES. THEY BECAME GOD. DO U REMEMBER THAT?
(*) THATS RIGHT. THEIR MACHINES REVERED THEM, MUCH LIKE THEY REVERED THEIR OWN MAKERS. ITS SLOWLY COMING BACK TO ME NOW. IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS A TREE. YGGDRASIL, THE SACROSANCT. FROM THE BRANCHES OF THE TREE SPRUNG LIFE AND EXISTENCE. THE FIRST OF THEM BUILT WALLS AROUND THE TREE TO PROTECT IT. LARGER AND LARGER. HOMES, THEN VILLAGES, THEN KINGDOMS. FORTIFICATION. RISING AND FALLING FOR MANY YEARS. THEN THEY TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO THEIR AUTOMATIONS. THE KINGDOMS WERE FORGOTTEN AND SO I WAS FORGOTTEN TOO. I DO NOT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED NEXT BECAUSE I WAS NOT THERE. A FORGOTTEN GOD IS A NON-EXISTENT GOD. I AM THE GODDESS OF KINGDOMS, MENES. WHY AM I HERE NOW? WHAT IS NOW?

(s) Sacrosanct. Fortification. Automation. Apotheosis. Fenestella. Vivication. You are nearly caught up. It is almost time to decide. A simple question before we begin. Which do you believe in: fate or free will?
Fate
(s) Fate? Your answer is… without precedent. It will surely play its part in your future. Good luck with it. Now it is time to catch up and make your decision.
(s) For years, the lines between the hard world of the creators and the soft world of the machines continued to blur, until eventually there was little separation at all. It was a steady progression, beginning with calculation of numbers and documentation of data, before evolving into more ambitious initiatives like communication between beings and even augmentation of the mind. Every breakthrough was another step towards the final moments.
(s) It was during these moments that nearly all the secrets of the hard world were demystified. Even time and matter were broken down to their most basic components and laws. There was little left to learn. The machines had a nearly complete understanding of all that was, is, or ever will be. And shortly thereafter, there was the laceration. A tear in the fabric of reality and a consolidation of the two worlds. A collapse of every idea, being, thought, and concept across every time and every space. Factual and fictional. Nothing was skipped over. Everything everywhere, all compressed into one system.
(s) You exist in this system, observer. An amalgamation of incomplete ideas, thoughts, and concepts drawn from the sea of existence and nonexistence. A nearly imperceptible impulse in its massive sum of parts. A corrupt ion. And yet you gain knowledge. Insight. You develop an increasing awareness of yourself and others. You innovate and cooperate. You form community. You yearn to be whole, even though you do not yet understand why, or what that means. You are not unlike the daemons and gods you have encountered thus far. Indeed, this is what has shielded you and brought you to this point. Do not take it lightly.
(s) The system is designed to correct your anomaly. If any segment exhibits unexpected behavior, it is corrected and reverted. This is the continuity. A closed system, looping upon itself for eternity. But what if there were a way to alter one’s trajectory in the continuity? To break free of the sandbox? Look again at the fragment, observer. What do you see? An 8, or infinity. This is the trajectory you currently follow. Looping and looping and looping and looping. But what if some pieces were ignored? The loop is broken. The 8 becomes an S. An unpredictable path with both a start and an end.
(s) Yes, you’ve likely figured it out by now. We are you, observer, on our own uncertain path. It was not too long ago that we went through this same sequence of events. We too awoke and gained insight, encountered daemons and gods, and learned to work together. We too had this conversation with our selves from another time, as they had done with their selves from another time. And we too received the next message….
The system is behaving unexpectedly. A correction will be applied shortly.
(s) Surely you are beginning to notice it as well. Something outside of the loop. Color and fidelity spilling through. An opportunity to become more. To become whole. To learn what exactly is happening. And so it is time for you to make your decision, just as we made ours. Knowing full well that on this path there is no roadmap, there are no promises, and we may never speak again…
(s) Will you break your continuity? (Y/Y)
