A Future in Peril - Part 2

"My God! What have we done?" Lydia exclaimed, her voice laced with anguish. Her crew searched frantically for a glimmer of hope, but found none. Moments later, Maya and Ava rushed to her side, their faces ashen. "Lydia, it's catastrophic," Maya said, her voice trembling. "The artificial universe is destroyed. Every upload intelligence is gone, their subconscious eradicated beyond recovery." Ava added, "It's as if they never existed. Only we remain."

Lydia's heart sank. "We've made things worse," she whispered, the weight of her mistakes crushing her.

Axel approached, his eyes filled with concern. "What do we do now, Lydia?"

Lydia took a deep breath, her mind racing. "We can't afford to disrupt the timeline further. We risk being consumed by it." She paused, her gaze drifting to the futuristic locket projector in her vest. The holographic image of her deceased future parents, Mark Junior and Amanda, flickered to life, their smiles haunting her. She knew what she had to do.
