xi. voice + text
I have information to share with you all, about information that we lack.
[a pause.]
For as long as we have endured this world, changed it or watched it change well beyond our control, the amount we do know is vastly smaller than what we don’t. Perhaps never will. So it is that our struggles are like...swiping in the dark, feeling out shapes and phantoms we can perceive as guesses at best. Or, maybe better...there are suggestions of light to trace out those shapes, but never enough to be certain. Only enough to strike.
The artificial intelligence we rescued has confirmed there is no exact point recorded for the origin of the United Earth’s ruling computer. It makes sense: History is written and told by those in power. The less we understand about it, so more is the advantage and threat it has against us. As it stands, we don’t know what dire impact we may have caused in altering the world to this state. We don't know how long days like these can last, what is in the works over there.
Regardless of what is chosen for our steps in the future, I believe it in everyone’s interest to know about this machine’s past. AI has offered the chance to piece together the missing history of the United Earth, should we wish it.
[another pause.]
The problem with this is the exact one it seeks to resolve: I can’t tell you what to expect.
The point of focus to start is the very day the United Earth is established, and the records of it are vague at best, pointedly pro-UE throughout. What may be waiting there could be dangerous or not at all.
It’s why this is something everyone should hear and understand. Something everyone can put a hand in, in some way. Powerful fighters, quick-thinking saboteurs, hackers, healers…
But going in all at once, as an army, may not be the best approach. A small number to survey, relay information, and signal reinforcements should there be a need...Which means a greater number waiting on standby for a potential call.
The AI itself can be carried to this point in time by way of one of the diamond drives, and, given the chance to digest as much as it can in that particular point in time...it can clear the path for greater understanding of what was at work to build this enemy.
It means this isn’t a single trip, but the springboard to a number of missions. It’s knowledge to be gained to make wiser choices for the here and now...and tomorrow and yesterday, perhaps. I can’t say what’s right, how much of a hand we should have in this world’s history.
At the least, we can paint for ourselves a better picture of the world we are all trapped in...and, maybe, glean some sense of what kind of impact we make on it, living as we do.
Should you wish to do this, I can give you what little information there is to work with. And that's something that can change and grow.

there's sound of a long, gentle exhale.]
I know. It's in your nature, isn't it?
no subject
[Quietly:] I think I was chosen for this. [If he were not chosen, he probably would have died long ago. He believed that.]
Don't worry, I'll have protection.
no subject
but this isn't about him.
after a delay:] For even being here, for how long you've endured all this... [Ico deserves a say, child though he is.
but still a child:]
Speak to me of this if you find others to go with you. I can't let you go alone, Ico.
[it's a last-ditch effort; if only for the delay, but maybe others will talk him out of it.]
no subject
He sighed softly.] I understand.
[Perhaps he understood more than he let on. So many people have wanted to keep him safe. He appreciated their concern, but he could not get anything done from hiding.]
