[04:06] II: What?
[04:06] II: No Snarky Comm=nts about how w='r= ruining his work? No S=lf important attitude?
[04:06] AA: Well, it seemed more like he was being told he had to. He and his friends claim to of played a previous version of the game. He says his work is doomed anyway now the game has begun, but he can still save us... not sure what he means by that... oh well, he says that a countdown should begin when the Cruxtruder is opened. It should deploy a Cruxite dowel and a "Kernalsprite"... The Glowing Ball thing.
[04:06] II: So... what do=s it do?
[04:06] AA: The sprite requires "prototyping", twice apparently, but then it will act as a guide.
[04:06] II: Nic=... So, about that ominous countdown? Please tell me it's nothing major.
[04:06] AA: Oh, that? It's just how long until you enter the game... Or get squashed like a bug.
[04:06] II: Pl=as= t=ll m= you'r= kidding.
[04:06] AA: How long have you known me, Sol?
[04:07] II: Long =nough to r=aliz= that was not you kidding... W=ll Shit.
[04:07] AA: Calm down. I got this. I trust all those Constructs are deployed in reachable locations. Was there a punched card?
[04:07] II: Yes... Why?
[04:07] AA: I'm going to need to get it into the lathe, along with the Cruxite.
Ok, the card is by th= lath=, but th= Cruxit= is your problem. Also, what's all this about "prototyping" th= Sprit=?
[04:07] AA: It needs something to copy to form its own body. Apparently, the prototyping affects other things in game, but NA was being vague again.
[04:07] II: What did you =xp=ct? H= hat='s us, for what=v=r bullshit r=ason.
Hello... It's Me, the Author. Yeah, I know, I should stop intruding on the narrative. Well fine, so be it... For now.
Don't Think this is the last you'll see of me, I'll keep popping up every so often but, for a while at least, I'm going to stay out of your way apart from anonymous narration.
So, in the mean time, have this little poem...
A Witch of Blood, A Seer of Rage,
Time's own Heir, and Void's arrogant Page,
A Knight of Mind, A Mage of Space,
All Face the Wrath of a Demon with no face.
Haze and Valves, Magic and Pain.
Chords and Sand, Chasms and Rain.
Thought and Reflection, Frogs and Tedium.
These worlds Shall emerge, Once they Enter the Medium.
There Worlds shall Appear, The Game shall be Played
But Their Guides seem Capricious, Should they be Obeyed?
The Ball's already Rolling, but will the Players pull Through?
The Author would Like Feedback, So please... Review.
Or not, It's your choice...
