~~~(POV: Transcendent Builder Eternal Acuity)~~~

~~~(Location: Primordium Installation The Keynote)~~~

~~~(Time: 882 Million years before the current time in The Aeternus Universe, 2 million years before the activation of The Coda Arrey)~~~

The war against The Primeval Inherent and the Parasite is beginning to ramp up, but we have the advantage in the war.

Temperance Against Adversity believes that a measure needs to be made in case we lose. I understand his actions and desire to be prepared.

The Parasite is raging through the universe and consuming everything that's sentient.

My grandest achievement, my ultimate creation... It'll be what creates and maintains The Coda Arrey... Keynote is almost finished...

It's where all my work has been done to make this last measure possible. The Coda Arrey are the weapons, but The Keynote is the factory...

"Eternal Acuity, when do you suspect we'll need to fire it?"

My personal AI stands in the terminal next to me.

Borealis has been wonderful in helping me, and she's convinced that she needs to create a failsafe.

"That entirely depends on how our war with The Primeval Inherent goes... The Parasite will not stop, but we'll try every strategy we can... Pray that we need not use these terrible weapons..."

The Keynote is a floating disk... That's octagonal in shape. Life blossoms on The Keynote.

It's several times large than the greatest stars, and it rivals small galaxies in size...

The Coda Installations are able to support life, just at The Keynote, but their primary function is to destroy sentient life.

They're massive oval rings, and they're created from a process that's made at the center of The Keynote. A massive empty space lies at the center of The Keynote. A hole, if you will.

This is where all the Coda Installations are created or will be created.

"Worry not, Borealis... The universe will be reseeded if The Coda Arrey is used... The arrival of people from another dimension will change things. The intelligent system they bring with them will change everything... Scott will fix what we have broken..."

Scott Autumn has been coming from prediction machines for a long time now...

The prediction machines have told us there is no answer to the Parasite. Hence why we're preparing for the worst.

"Should we leave something behind to guide Scott?"

Borealis has been thinking about this for a long time, and I'll leave that in her hands. My concentration is focused on The Coda Installations.

They're the side of nebulas, and they'll require a lot of power, but I have a solution.

~~~(POV: Aurora)~~~

~~~(Location: The Elevator leading to the portal to The Keynote, Saving Scott)~~~

The Patient Observer is flashing red in anger, and this is a good sign to leave.

"Always interfering in my plans, Borealis! The Coda Arrey must be activated! It's the only way to stop The Primeval Inherent from succeeding!!"

I don't know who Borealis is, but I'm being confused for someone else. Best guess is it's that copy of myself that I saw...

Scott rushes over to my side and stands next to the terminal. Blaster is drawn and ready for a fight.

"Get us out of here, Aurora. I knew something was off with all this."

He doesn't need to say anymore. I wave my hands, and the Elevator begins to descend. Patient Observer is about to regain control, but I boot him out of his body.

The shell he's using to house his intelligence falls hard on the ground. Patient Observer isn't dead, but he's not staying away forever. He'll find his way out of the maze I tossed him in.

"We need to get off Primordium Prime, away from Patient Observer. Find different answers."

Scott doesn't look happy that we need to leave. Likely from his question...

We can return after we're done dealing with all the problems stacking around us.

"I'll leave it in your hands, Aurora. I'll help if you need it."

His confidence in my skills is flattering, and it does make me feel a certain way. The Elevator finishes making it back down to the massive chamber, and he starts heading back to the teleporter that brought him here. I'll meet him on the other side.
