Cosmos
Silence.
The universe was silent…..then beep!
A tiny silver round object, tiny than a child’s palm drifted aimlessly, it’s surface all scarred with ancient symbols that pulsed slowly, as if it were breathing, but it was broken…dying.
Until it wasn’t.
[Robotic sequence initiated….5…..4……3…..2…..]
[System initializing….beep….beep]
A bright c***k of blue light split suddenly across its surface and the object trembled, as it pulses faster with a whirring sound.
[Warning…Core systems at 12% functionality.]
The blue glow intensified as it spread all around the little object like veins of lightning with sparks. The symbols flared to life, one after the other, with their glow shining so intensely that it brightened up the cosmos.
[Emergency detected.]
It was running out of time….
[Host search protocol activated]
The whirring object swirled faster with its light now blinding. The system stretched out with maps of energy lashing through dimensions and alternate universe, shifting through countless bodies, searching….searching….until—
[Targets identified]
The voice that spoke next was mechanical no longer, for it was now alive, desperate…
“Micheal Robinson.”
The second, spoken like a command.
“Noah Longheart.”
The third—final. The inevitable.
“Jessica William.”
[Binding sequence commencing in 5….4….3….2…]
The system quaked and convulsed with its lights flaring weakly like a dying star and somewhere, in the world unknown, three souls shuddered suddenly as if being hit by an electric current.
And then—
Silence.
The empty void swallowed the object once more.
But the message had already been sent and it has begun.
