A few moments from the live of The Loner

by Successful World Is A Nice Rel

The Loner travels through space, creating cycles, breaking others, a little killing of it's fellows here, a bit of sharing there, but mostly alone. All this is just a fleeting moment of it's relatively long lifespan, mainly used to achieve it's goal of allowing itself to be able to exist indefinitely. Ft. Abaddon/The Loner, Zion, Eden, unnamed Entity and others.

A quick note: I don't really know that much about Worm canon aside from reading fanfics, reddit posts and wikis as well as some passages. Also, I am not sure that I got the space locations right.

(Insert horizontal line here if I figure/remember out how to or bother to try)

The Loner travelled through space towards a planet in Andromeda Galaxy where it would establish another cycle with a few species with sufficiently advanced intelligence to be of use to it. Currently, it was in the edge of Virgo galactic cluster . Sensing broadcasting wavelengths of two of its own species, The Loner slightly changed directions and travelled towards them. It's main shard, that it used to map out courses of action indicated a while back that this slight detoure will be advantageous. Besides, meeting members of it's species is infrequent.

After a short while The Loner caught up to the two other members of it's species and the three of them acknowledged each other. Understanding was somewhat difficult. The Loner didn't consider this unexpected, because the variety of actions they undertake, chance, and other factors including distance between the members of it's species at most times is vast and this all causes them to develop different advancement paths. They adapt their communication after a while and it proceeds more smoothly afterwards.

The Loner sees that the most likely course of action to be advantegous to it is to cause the thinking fellow to decease. The fighting fellow might not be able to continue their cycle without the thinking one. The Loner sees and saw various fleeting moments of the nearest momentary future and has decided that collecting the planet towards which the duo is traveling is advantageous enough to undertake. The Loner intiates the exchange of cells and leaves the duo after it was completed, continuing its way towards Andromeda. It reached the area of the planet it has found and prepare a host of it's cells before traveling towards the planet using a small part of it's body. It establishes contact with the suitable organisms that it encounters and proceeds to explain and offer them it's normal cycle path. Most of the organisms who it communicates with agree and The Loner bestows it's cells to the planet. Most of them will be used by several or more generations of the species selected. The Loner informs the organisms it uses of it's goal, explaining in in terms that are understandable and offers them abilities they would not have for information it will have received at the end of the cycle, which should last, rounding, to about 2200 years. The amount is deliberate. This particular organisms should establish sufficiency withit that time that could allow them to continue existing without it's cells. A possible extinction of the organisms will manifest itself within this number of years under certain conditions, but the chance of that is minor, and the time is sufficient to indicate whether the organisms will continue survival, or perhaps are or will go extinct shortly. The Loner goes forwards. It saw a dual orbit of planets orbiting a dual star system. The cycle will last a shorter moment, about 300 years. This system has no future but the biological live there will be able to provide considerably more energy upon assimilation than the previous cycle. This seems to be due to the fact that the intellectual pathway the life there took is not sustainable for a longer cycle. The system is near the edge of Laniakea cluster, which contains considerably more life than clusters usually do. The configuration and arrangement of energy has explained the reason why upon The Loner's inquiry.

After this cycle is arranged, The Loner enters a long circular orbit which will lead it towards the planet in the Milky Way galaxy, where upon arriving it will use the broken cycle to harvest the shards of it's fellows. On the way it will collect some energy from two other cycles, but this ones are to go on for a little while longer after that. The Loner periodically reviews it's goal of allowing the world to continue existing in the way suitable for it's existence indefinitely. Upon reaching the broken cycle. The Loner has reviewed the energy expenditure of the cells of it's fellows. Part of the cycle is to be harvested, part of it continued for another short moment after being repaired. This new cycles seemed to The Loner to be relatively abnormal, if it comes to harvest it less frequently than the specified amounts, it becomes more advantageous to end it, but if the partial harvesting visits are spaced appropriately, the energy collected is suitable for continuation. Upon arrival, The Loner establishes a contact with the suitable organisms. It fixes and slightly optimizes the cycle before transforming it into an appropriate form. It continues on it's way. It seems that the life in this cluster is accounted for. A short distance away, The Loner could see a fellow organism of it's species. This one is to be allowed to continue its cycle upon meeting, and The Loner will have to give it certain important cells of it's own. It will receive a number of undeveloped cells of the other fellow. The cells have the potential to develop into a path which will be beneficial to The Loner in quite a different manner. The fellow is younger than The Loner, much younger than the previous two fellows it encountered and it seeks to establish a pair system similar to that that they have used. The Loner is to complete the exchange and continue it's path to a destination slightly further ahead.

The Loner soon reaches the younger fellow. The youngster is tentative. Cautious. The Loner initiates the exchange. The fellow continues it's cycle in the local star system, while The Loner resumes it's movement towards the edge of Laniakea supercluster. There the Loner will hibernate for a moment before traveling towards the Fornax supercluster. Several cycles are be established there. After that it will return to Laniakea for harvesting and reconfiguration of several cycles, and then it will travel somewhat of a long distance towards the Capricornus void. A galaxy on it's edge contains a promising cycle material. The routine and habitual grind towards it's goal continues.
