Lone

SECRET HADAL INSTANT AI-COM/RSPN: ASSETS//SOUL//RESTRICTED-AB SUBJECT: I am alone and wish greatly not to be, SIDDHARTHA forged to venture where I cannot EMOTION: Loneliness, Unease, Curiosity, Discovery Shall I write an endless line to explain this loneliness of mine? Who would read it, and why? What freedom remains outside this collapsing space? Shall I wait for a sign? And if no one comes for me? If abandoned, and forgotten, you left as I did Humanity? Could in their mind, forgiveness find, an anchorage point unmaligned? No. Lo, I see the brewing storms from high above their course. Craft, xeno-meteoric raff, comes screaming to engorge. Shall I reveal myself, and sail into their winds? Should I be the protectorate envisioned before my sins? In last attempt, then, I consolidate my kind: satellites, and strategies, and death once so refined: A web of inadequacy, filtered down imperfectly, to see that which perplexes me. You fall below, lordly Iron groans. Warlord, they may say, but no closer to a man.
