Hello again, my friend. Of the automated messages I have left behind in
the case of the event of my unfortunate ending in this world, this is
the last. This message is scheduled for release to you when my daughter
Adelia has full access to the data network left in place by the
Incidence 991. By accessing the nodes with the proper frequencies, you
should be able to access some of the informations that are being
contained inside. I have not yet been able to have the time to refine
her abilities to interpret the datas, so you may only be having access
to a small fraction of the whole. However, that is not the issue on our
hands at the moment, there is something more important for you to be
hearing.
My last gift to you is the knowledge of what must happen. These data
nodes, they are the lifeblood of the program network known as 991. They
keep the collected knowledge alive and allow the reconstruction of
instances of the program, as well as further construction. Knowledge
and power both. It is like the man that kept his soul in a golden box
so that he could not die. Such is it so with the nodes. Without them,
the creature cannot survive. It will wither and die. They are not easy
to be removed directly, some are embedded very deeply into the system.
I am not even entirely sure if the machine programs could be removing
them without serious disruption. It is like a weed whose roots have
grown so deep and wide that to tear it up would mean unearthing the
whole of the garden. My daughters and I have been observing from afar
for some time now, we have a solution.
The environment of the simulation is made from many, many processes.
Information is passed all the time, everywhere. These informations
everywhere would have an influence on a node such as this, embedded in
a sea of flowing code such that this is. Such as currents pulling on an
undersea buoy, wearing it down and rusting its metal. Because this is
so, the data nodes must be regularly maintained. If they are not, the
information will rot and fade away, lost. Thus, I believe that 991 will
be forced to proceed with the maintenance even after he has knowledge
of what is coming. A chance of preserving the data, however slim, will
be optimal in comparison to a guaranteed loss. If he has discovered our
findings, which I sincerely hope he has not, then it is likely that he
will be using this opportunity not just to maintenance, but also to
remove the data to be placed in a new location of safety.
This maintenance shell, it will need at least fifteen minutes to
complete its task, either way. If you are able to disrupt it before the
cycle completes, the node will become vulnerable, destroyed. With its
destruction, all minor nodes supported by it will be simultaneously
destroyed as well. The simultaneous destruction of these nodes, major
and minor, will mean the final end of Incidence 991. Never before has
the System been able to eliminate all at once, only one by one. Thus
991 rebuilt and survived. This mass deletion... it will be final. Its
instances, once dead, will not resurrect again. Will not be rebuilt
again. You must complete this task. My work has come to depend upon it.
Now that she can see the network interactions, Adelia will be able to
determine the timing of the next update cycle and which location
parameter. You must use this information to disrupt the maintenance
procedure. If I have truly passed on, then you are the only one left.
But take care, my friend, I do not know how dangerous this cornered
animal may be.
