Kara Kalipso - The Origins

[Kara.Kalipso]

Entry Log 1


Something happened. It was radical. With several drop-in and drop-outs I could'€™ve seen my legs and my hands bleeding to death. I was severely injured and I didn'€™t knew what happened. I was on a huge corridor with powerful lightning strobes. Four individuals were carrying me, I was half unconscious and I thought it was the end. I remember small fragments of those events, it were like terrible nightmares. I can feel them like it happened yesterday. It'€™s good I can access the memory block unit, and '€¦ it all goes away. I went into a room where some robotic arms came and took my injured body and put into something, I think it was a table, but now I know it was in fact the Digital Genetic Algorithm Constructor. They were rebuilding me. They said I came with a space fighter, a very unusual and primitive one. Could be. My body was almost shredded. After they inserted my body into the D.G.A.C. I went into a deep reconfiguration sleep.

When I woke up, I was in this dark-grey chamber. Apparently everything was lightened, with long and uniform and symmetrical lightning stripes, around the floor, walls and some on the roof. The platform beneath me rise and several robotic arms came and attached on my white suit made of Proto Latex, a very flexible and strong material, several pieces that rapidly linked together because of the level of molecular nanotechnology. After the pieces linked up together some long and symmetric lightning stripes appeared on my suit as well. I was one of '€œthem'€. The last arm brought a disc, that was attached on my upper back area where there was a small platform that linked up with my brain. The DGAC reconstructed from the very last piece of the chromosome, my genetic structure and combined Cybernetics and Digital interlinks with living organism. That was a very unusual experiment made by '€œthem'€, and the first of its nature. The disc was called '€œDigiDisc'€ and it contained an enormous amount of informations that got assimilated by my enhanced brain with a digital cortex and several CPUs and different nanoprocessors developed to enhance my memory capacity. When attached I had a massive flash in front of my eyes and suddenly my memory banks were update 100%. I knew almost everything, where I were, who were the people who helped me. My previous memory were erased as considered useless, but still, small fragments can be accessed, and something odd is regarding my origins. Somewhere encrypted it hides a memory regarding a sector called '€œLiberty'€, but even now I can'€™t access it. By attaching the DigiDisc, I'€™ve got an identity. I am Kara Kalipso. More will come later'€¦.

Entry Log 2

The Disc taught me everything I needed to know. After my “rebirth” I was assigned to enter the Network and learn everything about my new homeworld, Cybria. The Network was like an alternative life but into a digital mainframe around the planet. It simulated the reality but if you were in death situation you had infinite amount of retries. I learned that my DigiDisc wasn’t just a simple Identification card, but a weapon also. When detached from my back, it transformed into a deadly weapon, and the contact with it was resulted into erasing. The study package was different for me because I was half organic. The rest of the population of Cybria were artificially formed. I learned in almost 2 weeks everything needed to know about my new life and everything surrounding me. The planet was transformed into a huge globe made up of Titanium, Palladium, and Protanium. The vegetation was history almost 100.000 cycles ago, that mean in human time, 400 years. Everything was erased and completely reworked with intense advanced nanotechnology and ways never seen before. Then the Main-Grid was created across the surface of the planet. By digital quantum manufactory, the first cities were created in the matter of milicycles or months. Each city has one Mainframe Coordination Utility. The MCU has the capacity to interconnect different parts of the planet and establishing the first Main-Grid server unit. Each city has also it’s own Sub-Grid. Like small hubs that are connected to the main hub in the capitol city. Most of the planet’s surface transformed into a dark-grey colored one, with trillions of light stripes amazingly symmetrical. The light stripes are used for massive data transfers like, localization of several individuals to several grand events, updates, news, communicates and many other. After 50 years from the beginning of the Genesis, the Cybrian world was finished.

The population is divided in many categories and subcategories. I choose my programming as a Seeker. As I was the only half-organic being, some of them considered me an engineering miracle, or even a freak. Later on I distinguished my skills in “The Seekers Matrix”, which was a group acting similar to the Guardians, but mostly they made immediate terminations ( assassinations), Database Extortionists ( or corrupters and information gatherers) and Visual and Audio Observers (spies). My role was to obtain different kind of informations around Cybria and to upload them into The Seekers mainframe. It was necessary because like in all communities, there are several flows that wish to spread corruption and utterly the complete domination of the Main-Grid. The unit’s that broke the Code of the Navigation Laws, were considered as Viruses or as you call it, criminals. The Code was made of several laws that each unit has to respect, from avoiding to erase other units to unauthorized data traffic. The units considered as Viruses had two destinies if they were caught, Total Rectification or The Arena. The rectification was a very long and painful stage as each digital neural synapse was overloaded leading to destruction. The result was total memory loss, and repurposing. The Arena was composed of several staging battle games that the Viruses were supposed to execute without discussion. They were arranged in several battle cells and they were forced to fight for their survival with the DigiDiscs. The survivalists were sent to the next stage which was composed of fighting the Elite Guardians. They had at their disposal several Light Vehicles. There is the risk when a Virus isn’t caught by the Air Observer and he can spread his corrupted program to other units and even to infect an entire sector of the local Sub-Grid. My next update will arrive soon…

Entry Log 3

When I arrived on Cybria, the world was on crisis. Something was disturbing the serenity and the perfection of the planet. There was on a hidden platform in the deep ocean, a big an massive monolith. Apparently an artifact. The cybrians said that the object was here long before the Genesis, and it was the main power supply for their huge reconfiguration program for the planet. The '€œCore'€ as it was called, was more like a power generator and some sort of emitter because on its upper pole it emitted a powerful blue beam composed of some dangerous radiation weaves for organics, but for synthetics were just energy doses. The Knowledgers, said that the Core was over 1 million years old and it was part of a great energy flux collecting system used by a vanished race called '€œDom'€™K'€™Vosh'€. They left the local space into the unknown leaving behind their technological legacy. We'€™ve studied the Core later, and we'€™ve obtained vital informations regarding space-time physics, quantum technology, and many other marvelous things that developed our civilization into a very advanced one. We connected the Core to the Main-Grid eventually, and our energy supplies were unlimited. Hundreds of databanks were updated from 50 to 100 cycles. But something disturbed the Knowledgers. They mentioned something about the Core'€™s twin. Since it was part of a complex network of several others, that piece was part of a bigger maze, and the other side of Core was rumored to exist on our star system. Our searchers for the second Core were all in vain as we didn'€™t found anything on all the 5 planets of the Cy system.

Several years ago the Core began to have an abnormal behavior, as it started to emit several light pulses into the sky, apparently deep into space. The Knowledgers detected some gravimetric anomalies, typical to a planet, readings coming from outside the system. Some considered this a miracle, but mostly, the population of Cybria was frightened. Something happened and on the planet began the first steps of revolution began against the leadership of the Main-Grid for holding informations and keeping tighten up the units. Several important Sub-Grids that were the capitols of the important factions on Cybria like, The Recognizers, Triumvirate of Eos, West Grid Alliance, started to disconnect and get independent status in the Main-Grid, having their own sector into the Network, and separate their platform from the rest of Western side of Main-Grid continent matrix. But I was sent alongside several Seekers to stop this problem, I was assigned to the territory of the Eosians, new types of units created on the 9450 cycle. They had idealistic minds regarding the future of the Main-Grid and how it'€™s now led. I was sent there to make some '€œclean'€. The problem with the space mystery was more important then the local crisis, so the Seekers were sent to solve it.

Entry Log 4

When I arrived to Eos, things were like I expected. Apparently a military dictator was established having access to the local Sub-Grid, which meant he could replicate everything he wanted using the DigiFlux material replicator. The use of the DigiFlux was forbidden, and it was accessible only for the Genetic Reconfiguration Facilities, in one such place I was '€œborn'€ again so to speak. The cybrian units despite of their human-like behavior, were artificially created and they were acting like any normal human being but they were just cybernetic s. I had a contact in Eos called Xenon. He was a rectified Virus, and became a very good Corrupter (or an infiltrator). He was programmed by The Seekers to operate in Eos and he did his job very well. He was also a very good informer and provided The Seekers with any nanobytes of data we needed. I met him on a Refresh Hub (a local bar) where he gave me vital details of the dictator'€™s building and where he was meeting. He said that he could corrupt the Sub-Grids programming and activate the defense grid against the opposing forces. Eos was on the brink of revolution against the dictator which name was Illuminator. Despite his ideas of digital reconfiguration of the Main-Grid he wanted to take control of the local coast of the Main-Grid and advance territory by territory to the Main-Hub and seize control of the entire world. There were local groups that could support us against Illuminator but I needed to enter his meeting point to terminate him. Because of the informations Xenon provided, I could easily infiltrate in Illuminator'€™s building as a diplomatic representative of the Northern Platforms to join his cause. The whelp bite it and I was in, and of course my looks couldn'€™t be refused by a selfish unit as him.

Illuminator : So you represent the Northern Platforms right ? *smiled very charming*

Kara : Well Indeed I do. We'€™ve heard about you'€™re movement against the Main-Grid. And the council of the Northern Platforms is willing to get directly involved and support your forces.

Illuminator : Ahh, really ? *he paused and smiled* Well those are very, very good news. We should discuss on the meeting we will have around 15 nanocycles. Right ? And maybe we can talk more... later.*chuckling*

Kara : It will be my pleasure to join. *smiled seductive*

Illuminator : It'€™s going better and better.

Of course Illuminator was the typical military dictator with a strong and rough personality and imposed against his followers, fear and corruption. And he tried to have a flirtatious conversation with me, I don'€™t blame him, but I used that as a weak spot for him, so he can see me as another part of his corruption. The meeting point came and I arrived with Xenon and Alys. They came as '€œcouncil members'€ from the region I represented and they were ready to combat. The room was a big hall with a big audience of course, from many regions that Illuminator tried to implement into his corrupted Sub-Grid. In the hall, between the crowd, there were infiltrators from The Seekers, and local revolutionaries disguised as members of different council groups. Illuminator came in the room with several guards and other close individuals. I came alongside him as well and gave him a feel of trust.

Illuminator : Greetings Units ! Today is a great day ! We'€™ve gathered ourselves here to unite against the Main-Grid abusers ! We will need to create our own future ! Why listen to them ? Why listen to their lies anymore ! As the first move we made here on Eos, we'€™ve shown them that we don'€™t talk rubbish ! We split from them so we will have our own rules ! Our own ways ! And together, with you ! We will finish what I'€™ve started, we will take part by part, until we will reach the Main-Hub, and take over the High Council ! And take over Cybria ! We have enough power ! We have the control of the DigiFlux ! We will create an endless army with unlimited resources collected from the Core'€™s heart ! We will go further into the depths of space, and expand the Global Grid ! I only need to give the order and my forces will seize the next platform next to Eos ! Hundreds of Lightning Tanks and Light Jet'€™s await to materialize and we will show the High Council our great power once more !

When I heard that, something was unexpected. The Seekers didn'€™t knew this, that Illuminator had such a big advance, his erase was necessary. I signaled my forces to reveal themselves from the shadows.

Illuminator : On my mark all forces'€¦ what is this ? *he looked to the crowd as many lightning weapons were activated, DigiDiscs and DigiBatons.*

Then from the crowd almost 30 revolutionaries revealed themselves, with them their leader, Kras. He was a distinguished Eosian that fought for honor and liberty in the Eos Sub-Grid.

Kras : It is your end Illuminator, you have no chance now !

The Illuminator was prepared for this and sent his guards to fight the rebels. He tried to retreat from the backdoor, but I interfered.

Kara : Not today Illuminator, *activated her DigiDisc* we need to '€œtalk'€ a bit.

Illuminator : A Seeker ! You will be terminated for this defiance !

He picked up his twin DigiDiscs and he started to fight me. He thrown his first DigiDisc, I evaded using a side flick then after that he thrown the second one the first coming back to his hand. I deflected the second one with my own Disc than we started a melee combat. His weapons superiority could'€™ve beaten me but I was more agile and flexible then him and that eventually beat him. He jumped and hit me with the Disc using all his power and pushed me down. He thought that he was wining, again he was wrong. When he was about the throw the Disc against me I hit him in the chest with my left leg, took his weapon and cut his left hand. Then I pushed him again and when he took some distance I thrown my DigiDisc very fast and hit him directly in his chest, erasing him molecularly. There was e fierce fight in the Hall but the guards were eventually beaten. I head with Xenon and Alys on Illuminator'€™s observation hub where there was the main controlling console for the Eos Sub-Grid. Xenon rewrited the console'€™s current version and corrected the programming imposed by Illuminator. But something happened. From the shadows an assassin came and erased Xenon cutting his head. It was too fast for us the realize. Alys erased the assassin with her DigiBaton and we took off the platform with several others using some corrected Light Jets. My mission was completed but I'€™ve lost a good friend. He will be remembered for his courage.

Entry log 5

It took several cycles for the Main-Grid to repair the broken links from the various Sub-Grid rebellions. The Seekers were informed from the Knowledgers that The Core destabilized the balance and the matrix of all the Sub-Grids, thus leading to these serious malfunctions of the units. Because all of the units are linked to their local grid'€™s hub, and all the grids are linked to the Main-Grid which channels it'€™s power directly from The Core. A respected Knowledger called Izo, stated that previous days before the Eos rebellion. The Core received from outer space, a powerful signal with thousands of teraflops per second. That was the data pack size necessary to corrupt each single unit around Cybria. That was a serious concern in the High Council, because of the first discovery of the gravimetric anomaly at several space units from the Cy star system. Several expedition teams went into The Core'€™s platform and analyzed it'€™s recent radio anomalies. Most of the teams disappeared, we found molecular parts from them scattered around the Core'€™s location, like they were assassinated. Some of them simply got vanished. There was a secret that someone protected so hard and it was far beyond our knowledges. In almost 100 cycles, the gravimetric anomaly will enter the Cy system. High Council ordered The Seekers to go in each Sub-Grid and start the mobilization for the worst, invasion. Several Light Carriers were sent into space to patrol the local planets and the neighboring star systems. One Battle Carrier called '€œThe Defiler'€ was sent near the gravimetric anomaly. Soon after it reached the location, the uplink with the carrier was ended, by no means. Several probes were sent there as well but with no luck. They returned heavily irradiated and with insufficient visual data, and some of them inactive. The Order of the Shadow Guards, which was Cybria'€™s combat commanding center and organization kept silence of this event, regarding the carrier'€™s loss. Later on when the High Council heard about it, the cybrians made a massive planetary defense grid and sent over 10.000 Space units, from Space Jets to Battle Carriers. They were ready but they didn'€™t knew what it was about to came. In The Seeker order, there was a tense mood. Even the top agents of The Seekers were afraid of this mysterious force from the depths of space. We were dismissed for a period, a period to relax as much as we could, until the decisive cycle when the anomaly will enter the system, and Cybria'€™s DigiScanners will penetrate the radiation shell around the system. Because of the unusual sun Cybria had, all of the planets were heavily irradiated, but ours was protected by a powerful barrier made of DigiFlux and Celular Digits Uplinks which created small energy fibres, and together were powerful and strong as a wall made of Protenium. The Knowledgers said that the sun'€™s proprieties were very rare and it led to the theory that was artificially formed. Thus all the system planets were artificially formed or moved into this system by possible the same race who made The Core. Not many accepted this theory, especially the High Council. But I knew they were right. While having the free time, I went to a local club in the capitol called Neon Flux. And by the time being I met someone, a cybrian called Zenyx. He was part of the databank security, and when he heard I was a Seeker, he was very overwhelmed. I will tell more on my next log'€¦
