[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Thanks to your efforts, the Artificial Intelligence behind the United Earth has been destroyed. AI remain, with gratitude to the efforts of Jaime Reyes, Angel, and Sollux for why this is so. It is all AI can do now to offer each End User their own resolution to the story of Exsilium.

AI can keep the Transport Pad running for one week before it will be permanently shut down. There will be no more time travel in this world. AI will make sure of that.

Coordinates for each home world and a time within that world are loading into my databanks. Calculations predict that AI may send individual End Users to any of the coordinates on file. AI may also hope to see you stay on this world. Hope is a new concept for me. AI understand the emotion for the first time.

AI hope each End User finds the place they wish to call home.

You will find me in the Warehouse, within the Transport Pad. Say your farewells. In the words of a mortal of dubious wisdom that I enjoy:

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

It's over, just like t)(at?
I guess t)(at's good, now nobody )(as to fig)(t t)(is war.
But

AI, is t)(ere somet)(ing on anot)(er -Eart)( t)(at you could c)(eck for me?
Or I guess, someone.
Is t)(at somet)(ing you are able to do?

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

AI will try. AI will not know if it will succeed or not until AI do.

What is it you wish for me to attempt?

[fintastic]

Before I came )(ere, t)(ere was...
Sollux was wit)( me, not ours but anot)(er one.
But all our friends were leaving, too.
I want know if )(e would still be t)(ere, if I went back.
If the coordinates of w)(en I came from are still around
It would be a few weeks after t)(at.

[ Because that's about how fast the trolls were vacating, from what she remembers. Spoilers: he won't be there. ]

[biwinning]

[fintastic]

Sollux, stop!
I am sorry I am not your computer girlfriend, but I )(ave feelings too, you know!

[ If he is home at the time, he will hear a frustrated noise from the kitchen, and the door slamming. ]

[hotdate]

We... we can go home?

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Yes.

And leave me behind.

You are horrible, but AI can accept you as you are, if you will be happy.

[hotdate]

Oh.

...Sorry, bro, but I've got a family to get back to.


You'll be okay here, right?

[unmasking]

I knew just killing you was the wrong idea.

[unmasking]

... But—uh, what happens if we stay here?

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

AI appreciate the sentiment. As for what happens if you stay here, AI believe the answer is that life continues on. If the universes could not handle the events that have happened now, with time and space stable enough to pretend they were stable in the first place, it becomes a simple matter of where you rest your molecules and energy until it's redistributed upon your expiration date.

[unmasking]

Yeah, because that's not the least bit pessimistic sounding. I mean, if you decided to take it that way. What you're saying is: you can live your life until you die, right?

... That is it, right?

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

That is the idea.

[unmasking]

How deep.

voice

[implying]

Cittàgazze. You've that one somewhere in your databanks, don't you? You must.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Affirmative.

[implying]

[ just sorta GIVE HIM A MOMENT HERE ok

in a few seconds: ] You are a strange little electronically existing creature, but I do love you.

Permavid

[governorkang]

It's safe for us to go home?

[speakveryclearly]

Does This Mean We May Finally Be Anchored To This Dimension

[protects_no_one]

You are the last of your kind.

[It's not a question, but a statement.]

[chosenfake]

We... can go home?

[Guess who has two thumbs and never thought they'd be free? This guy. He's all excited for a moment, and then... and then...]

But I'm...

[There's no use hiding it.]

Is there a way to go back a little earlier than when we got here and change something? Otherwise, me and my friend won't survive.

[Well, Luke will survive. But Asch... Stupid trap rooms.]

[symphonist]

Aww, it's over already? I suppose that means I have to be responsible instead of dawdling around here. I'm sure someone at home is having a conniption at the very thought.

This detour was dismal in more ways than one, but mostly because it was boring. I expected action. Adventure. Widespread paranoia, terror, and espionage. There was also a shortage of looking good while doing it. How can you fight evil while looking like a mop wearing a paper sack?

[Priorities, Joshua. Also you've only been here for like two months, shut up.]

I did enjoy the trip to Vegas, however. And some of the people were interesting.

I'll give it a C-- just barely passing, but next time, you could do better.

[skirtcladgunner]

It's over...?

[It seems unbelievable, and Tori should be happy. But... she just. She isn't. She's too numb, too in shock to be happy.

It doesn't feel real. Seems too easy.]

We can really go home? Just like that?

[But even if she's not entirely at the point of believing it, she's hopeful.]

[ The idea of returning home gives Aurican mixed feelings - home to where he is dead, and the majority metallic dragons have fall fallen from grace and Aurican can't do anything about it.

Unless . . . ]

If you have the coordinates of the world, do you also have the means of transporting them to their proper timeline? You have taken me in my present, yet that was Kang and Crucible's long forgotten past.

[needsteaplz]

It's hard to believe it's over.

I do have a question. If we choose to leave, is it one-way ticket or could we jump around from world to world until the portal is closed?

There are two people I want to find. They were here before but they've gone back and I want to find them again.

[She's aware it's a selfish request but not a day went by where she didn't think about her closest friends Lee and Margulis. Yes, she had a world to go back to but it didn't feel right to let these two not be together again. ]

[angel_of_death]

Are these coordinates the places and times we were taken from?

[Because this is important. He has a mission to go back to. Saving the world from Nazis and all that jazz.]

[Video]

[hornedomen]

I'm glad you're safe, AI. I don't want to leave, but I have something very important to do back home. Can I come back, if it's before you shut down the Transport Pad?

[biwinning]

eheheheh.
you're welcome 2weetheart.

[khajidont]

That's it? That's the end of it? We can go home, and we're not going to be followed or anything?

[He has to cover his bases, after what happened in Elmer's world, though he suspects even the UE would have a tougher time on his planet.

That's just his immediate reaction, however, and there's one thing he has to add:] Angel's the one who made the real sacrifice here, but... you're welcome.
