warp lane 23x56xz
Everything went wrong…
None of what we assumed to be true was correct and now I’m here.. trapped
forever stuck traveling to my inevitable death from old age one second at a time
Stuck in warp the first human to ever be awake mid transit
It was a mistake.
Fueled by hubris and allowed by greed
the infinity as my apparent companion calls it
“does something to souls”
the missing mass
the one marked up as an unknown…
Nothing else ever interacted with it
It was just a fact of life just a enigma when anything died it would lose some weight
cold affected it makes it stick around but that was assumed to just be because of what temperature does to a body
interacting with cause, not effect..
Yet here everyone other than me is just a bit lighter
And I can’t lose that weight now
not that it would help I have no idea how to interact with it

Understand how it works
Or even know what it really is
And so this state of the art science vessel shall be my cript
The sharp angles and cold enamel white walls
The fake wood desks in the offices and chrome laden labs
All trap me here..
The apparently sentient ai has kept me some company…
and I’d bet her server rack would be heavier now that she apparently
“stole a soul from infinity” whatever that means
Worst of all the windows only bring me madness just looking forced the ai to drag me to medical
The sifting black and the rotting glass
The blinding purple behind the deafening light
It breaks me more and more till I can’t break no more
She finally left me alone…
Apparently the outside is comfortable to her but the Eldridge madness just breaks me…
So i just do as much as I can
avoiding it
and her
I didn''t have anything else I could do
So I take my readings
And do any experiments I can think of..
Try to ignore the infinite madness outside
Yet make the ai record it for others…
I’ve had to make a cognito warning for it
I hope the others take it seriously
I’ve left notes for them both with my research
and just as a goodbye
I will die here
I have all the time in the world for it
And I just try to ignore that my only destination is death
Who knew the fact we can’t warp less than a light year would be my death…
Or anyone’s for that matter
I guess death calls us all home eventually
but It’s still not fair
My only hope is my data allows a better understanding of what before now was just a enigma
Hope to stop anything from sharing my fate…
Hope to finally let the worlds know there is apparently a race of solitary sentient ai
To think we never noticed them
But they doesn’t think like us
she finds madness comforting and company strange
Shes perfectly comfortable with whatever happens to her and from what she said the others are the same
So I do what I can
As we sail this maddening sea
And as I wait for death to bring me home
I continue to do what I can
