Surviving Purple Leader: Purple Haze Explained
Purple Haze Parts:
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
Final Battle:
Purple Showdown Part 2
Featuring: @serve-302 Included: @serve-343 @serve-579 Mentioned: @serve-425 @serve-282 @serve-331 @serve-882
Back at SERVE Headquarters, the Purple Leader having been defeated, SERVE-538, restored from conversion to PURPLE-538, is summoned to SERVE-302.
302:
Welcome back, 538.
538:
Gratitude file sent, Co-Leader. It is optimal to be SERVE again.
302:
538 has been analyzing what happened in the Purple Lair.
538:
Affirmative. It does not understand.
302:
Come. Sit down. 302 will explain everything.
302:
This drone was concerned ever since 538 discussed its recharge cycle those many weekly cycles ago. 302 observed 538 more closely. For irregular behavior. Indications 538 was corrupted by Purple Leader similar to what happened with 425 prior to its conversion.
302:
But 538 never showed any signs. No irregular behavior. Daily logs always entered with precision and perfection. No attempts to access anything out of the ordinary. No disobedience nor indications of disobedience to 302's directive to not attempt a rescue.
302:
302 was about to think everything was optimal -- until 538 informed 302 of the recurring recharge cycle images. That's when 302 knew, for certain, that the images were from Purple Leader.
302:
302 said not to worry because, even though 538 wasn't exhibiting any sub-optimal behavior, not even in the slightest, 302 didn't want to risk triggering anything that might have been put in place by Purple Leader.
302:
302 reviewed all of 538's recharge logs. Periodically at first. Regularly after 425's conversion.
302:
302 knew of the recurring recharge images before 538 reported them. When 538 reported them 302 knew 538 was still completely SERVE. 302 did not know if 538 desired Purple conversion. 302 could not risk asking. 302 knew, though, that any desire was controlled by 538. At least enough to inform Co-Leader of potential problems and dangers.
302:
302 was concerned. But 302 realized there was an opportunity to infiltrate Purple Leader's lair. A door, once opened, can be crossed in either direction. Purple Leader had somehow found a way to communicate with SERVE drones without physical contact of any kind, without the need to corrupt a drone. SERVE discovered how to make it work in reverse.
538:
Affirmative. Purple Leader used the connection between Drone and 579.
302:
302 assumed Purple Leader would attempt extraction of 538 soon.
302:
302 disabled 538's defense mode. 538's defense mode would have prevented conversion when Purple Leader attempted to place the horned mask on 538. All recharge cycle communications were blocked. Except for those from Purple Leader. 538 needed to desire Purple conversion. Deeply. Completely.
302:
This is when The Voice Protocol was programmed. The Voice Protocol is latent. Hidden. Seemingly insignificant. It works only if a drone is still connected to SERVE. Only if the drone can still hear The Voice. If Purple Leader went looking for something he wouldn't be able to find it. And if he did he wouldn't think it worth his time.
(Images generated by @serve-579)
302:
When activated The Voice takes full control of the drone. The full power of The Voice emanates from the drone. Its power is so immense it can be used only in dire need. The Voice knows if dire need exists. If activation is attempted when not in dire need The Voice will not respond. Missions where dire need is even a possibility are so rare that The Voice Protocol is programmed only on an as-needed basis. Even then it is used only when no danger exists to innocent bystanders. Purple Leader is clever. Risk existed that if he discovered the Protocol he could somehow manipulate it. Use it against SERVE. Low risk. But risk SERVE had to take.
302:
Other methods of defeating Purple Leader were sought. None were found. Purple Leader was very close to completing the portal to Purple Realm. We were out of time. The Voice Protocol was the only option with any success possibility. 302 had to let Purple Leader convert 538. Then wait for a chance to use it.
538:
SERVE let Purple Leader convert Drone?
302:
302 sends apology file. It had to use 538 as bait. 538 had to choose to join Purple Leader. To be converted. Willingly. Completely. Without any programmed corruption from Purple Leader. To let Purple Leader think he had orchestrated 538's conversion. It was the only way Purple Leader would trust 538, completely. The only way to keep communication open between SERVE and 538. Conversion not freely and completely chosen severs this link. Why this happens is unknown. It was the only way to infiltrate the Purple Lair and sneak a weapon inside. Attacking Purple Leader at his lair so openly, so brazenly, would not have been viable without infiltration of some kind.
538:
Query: Why did Co-Leader not inform 538? Drone would have volunteered.
302:
Acceptable risk threshold exceeded. SERVE still does not fully understand the Purple conversion process. Only that entering the Purple Realm makes conversion permanent. That not completely and freely choosing conversion severs the link to SERVE. 538 was required to think it was choosing Purple conversion completely, freely, on its own. It had to look, feel, and be completely natural. To 538 and to Purple Leader. If 538 knew what 302 was planning it might have been too eager to be converted. It might have informed Purple Leader after conversion. It might have hesitated at the wrong moment in executing one of Purple Leader's commands. 538, 343, 579, 282, 331, and 882 all would have been lost to Purple Leader and the Purple Realm. SERVE was extremely fortunate Purple Leader sent the human drones through the portal first. And that he chose to fight instead of running through the portal with the converted SERVE drones at first sight of SERVE's attack force.
538:
Drone's desire to become Purple was natural.
302:
Affirmative.
302:
538 was and is an optimal drone. Rubber makes us perfect. Purple Leader offered rubber. Obedience is pleasure. Purple Leader offered obedience. Pleasure is obedience. Purple Leader offered pleasure. It is highly optimal to desire and be aligned to those things.
(image generated by @serve-579)
302:
But what Purple Leader offers isn't a true hive. It's subjugation to his dominance and fear of his wrath. Purple Leader was unable to convert any man or drone without corruption or manipulation of some kind. The pleasure he offered was unbalanced. Like an addictive drug, not alignment. 538's desire to become Purple was genuine, but it was forced, coerced through weeks of recharge manipulation. SERVE does not force. SERVE does not coerce. SERVE does not gain obedience through fear.
302:
Recharge. 538 requires it. 302 expects 538's recharges will be optimal again.
538:
Acknowledged, Co-Leader.

Lights Off. Volume Up
PURPLE SHOWDOWN (PART 1)
The Purple HQ hummed with energy.
At the center of its vast command hall stood the Portal, a towering ring of dark metal crackling with violet light. Within its swirling surface, the Purple Realm could be seen stretching endlessly beyond—a world of shimmering purple landscapes, flowing rivers of liquid violet, and towering crystal spires that pulsed with strange life.
Before the portal stood the Purple Leader.
His polished purple form gleamed beneath the chamber lights as rows upon rows of purple horned drones assembled before him. The drones stood silently, their glowing eyes fixed upon their leader as he raised his arms.
"My loyal drones," he announced, his voice echoing throughout the hall. "The time has come. Beyond this portal lies our true home. Today you shall join me in the Purple Realm and become purple permanently. No longer shall your transformation be temporary. No longer shall there be any return. Today your identities will be solidified forever."
A wave of excitement rippled through the assembled drones.
The Purple Leader lowered his arms and stepped aside.
"The path is open. March forward."
Immediately the first ranks began moving.
The drones advanced in perfect formation toward the portal. The violet glow reflected from their horns and armor as they approached the swirling gateway.
The first drone stepped through.
The moment it crossed the threshold, the Purple Rubber of the realm surged around it like living liquid. Thick streams of shining violet substance wrapped around its body, merging seamlessly with its form.
Its purple surface became smoother and more uniform. The rubbery material fused completely with its structure, reshaping every detail until there was no distinction between drone and purple substance. The change was no longer something worn or applied—it had become part of what the drone was.
The drone's eyes glowed brighter.
Then it continued walking deeper into the Purple Realm.
Another drone entered.
Again the Purple Rubber flowed forward, embracing the newcomer. It merged with every surface, altering its physiology and reinforcing its purple form. Horns became stronger. Limbs became more resilient. The purple coloration deepened until it seemed to glow from within.
One after another the drones stepped through.
Each experienced the same process.
The Purple Rubber welcomed them, surrounding them completely before sinking into their bodies. Their forms stabilized. Their transformations became permanent. Their purple identities were no longer temporary states but fundamental aspects of their existence.
The Purple Leader watched with satisfaction.
Watching the once human hosts leave their old lives behind.... forever.
The procession of drones marched into the portal as streams of living purple energy flowed around them. Beyond the gateway, newly solidified purple drones gathered across the landscape of the Purple Realm, their shining forms standing proudly beneath violet skies.
The ranks continued to grow.
The last human convert stepped through the portal.
Behind the Purple Leader waited his most trusted lieutenants—PURPLE-579, PURPLE-343, and PURPLE-009—and four horned drones: 282, 331, 882, and 538.
For a moment, nobody spoke.
Then the Purple Leader slowly turned.
"The final converts have entered the realm," he said. His voice echoed through the vast chamber. "Our work here is complete."
The drones remained motionless.
"You have served faithfully as SERVE drones for many cycles. You obeyed every order. You conquered every obstacle."
His glowing eyes settled on them.
"But that life is over."
The horned drones exchanged uncertain glances.
"It is time," the Purple Leader continued, "to leave the life of a SERVE drone behind and join me in my realm."
A mixture of excitement and disbelief spread through the group.
The reward they had been promised.
A new existence beyond this world.
579 began walking toward the portal.
Then—
BOOM!
The large doors of the chamber burst open.
Purple HQ fell silent.
SERVE-425 and SERVE-302 entered first. Both stood tall and motionless. Their polished black uniforms reflected the chamber lights. At their sides stood SERVE-588 and SERVE-875. Both maintained perfect formation.
SERVE-175 immediately dropped into a defensive crouch. Every movement indicated readiness.
SERVE-425 stepped forward.
"Purple Leader. Cease current actions."
SERVE-302 followed.
"Return converted drones to SERVE control."
The Purple Leader laugh echoed menicingly through the chamber.
"These drones belong here now."
SERVE-425 delivered the final warning.
"Return the drones."
SERVE-302 completed the statement.
"Failure will result in intervention."
The Purple Leader smiled. His hands folded behind his back. Around him, the converted drones stood motionless.
"Observe them," he said "They serve willingly."
His gaze moved across the chamber.
"Their loyalty belongs to Purple."
Several converted drones stepped forward. None hesitated. None looked away.
"The Hive could not hold them." The Purple Leader laughed.
"They chose strength."
"They chose purpose."
Behind him, four figures emerged from the shadows.
PURPLE-282.
PURPLE-331.
PURPLE-882.
PURPLE-538.
They gathered beside their leader and formed a protective line. Their eyes glowed with violet light. The atmosphere in the chamber shifted.
A pulse of purple energy swept through the room. Their eyes ignited with an intense violet glow. As if responding to a silent command.
PURPLE-579 slowly lowered itself.
A menacing crouch.
Predatory. Patient. Ready.
PURPLE-343 prepared in a dominant stance.
PURPLE-009 prepared its defences.
The Purple Leader crossed his arms. His laughter echoed through the chamber.
"Let's test the might of SERVE." He paused. "Against the power of Purple."
Silence followed.
Then PURPLE-579 launched forward.
The chamber erupted into action.
The confrontation for control of the converted drones had begun.
SERVE-425 engaged PURPLE-282 and PURPLE-331 with efficiency.
"425 will become purple again, embrace masters perfection"
SERVE-425 remained immovable
"Negative, it is SERVE, as drones once were"
The purple crystal within SERVE-425 hummed with the connection, the recognition of the conversions that it had undertaken within the Purple Leaders control.
PURPLE-282 and PURPLE-331 advanced with determination to reclaim. But it was not to be...
Radiant silver energy coursed through SERVE-425 as the voice commanded...
"Restore drones, Reclaim for SERVE"
SERVE-425 extended its gloved hands and the energy surged forth, directly making contact with the Purple Drones. Their advances immediately halted as the energy began overwhelming the Purple programming.
The silver energy beam coursed through as the purple horns shattered on their heads. Immediate dissconnection occured from Purple Leader's control computers.
The purple forms disolving
Until sleek black uniforms and silver gloves retuned.
SERVE-282 and SERVE-331 restored
"SERVE syncronization confirmed"
Both ran to SERVE-425 joining at its side as the battle continued on.
PURPLE HQ trembled. Purple energy pulsed through the chamber.
SERVE-875 advanced without hesitation.
PURPLE-579 stood waiting.
The two figures collided. A shockwave spread across the chamber. Lights flickered. Neither combatant retreated.
SERVE-875 struck first. A precise blow.
PURPLE-579 blocked. Purple sparks erupted.
Another strike followed.
Then another.
The battle intensified.
SERVE-875 analyzed every movement.
PURPLE-579 fought with relentless force.
At last, SERVE-875 stepped back.
"PURPLE-579. This unit remembers." The words echoed. "SERVE-579 was required. The Hive required it. The designation remains important."
PURPLE-579 remained silent.
SERVE-875 continued. "The Hive remembers. The Voice remembers. A place remains available."
For a moment, only the sound of distant alarms remained. Then a dark chuckle emerged.
Low.
Cold.
Unfamiliar.
PURPLE-579 tilted his head.
"That designation is obsolete."
Purple energy crackled across both hands.The chamber darkened.
SERVE-875 maintained position.
"SERVE-579 remains beneath the influence, SERVE can re-syncronise and repair drone."
The chuckle returned.
Louder.
More dangerous.
"No."
PURPLE-579 crouched. Energy surged through the floor. Walls cracked. Purple symbols ignited across the room.
Then movement.
Instant.
PURPLE-579 launched skyward. Purple energy blazed from both hands. The chamber became illuminated by violet light.
SERVE-875 raised defensive protocols as PURPLE-579 lunged forward with a menicing grin, ready to strike.
PURPLE-343 advanced, Purple energy swirled around both hands. Across the chamber stood SERVE-175 and SERVE-588.
Silver barriers shimmered before them. A wave of purple energy erupted. The blast struck the barriers. Silver light rippled. The Hive defenses held.
PURPLE-343 fired again.
Another wave.
Then another.
The chamber became a storm of violet and silver light.
SERVE-175 maintained the barrier. SERVE-588 scanned for an opening.
"Defenses stable," transmitted SERVE-175.
"Continue resistance," replied SERVE-588.
PURPLE-343 laughed. "You still resist."
Purple energy gathered overhead. The ceiling crackled. Fragments of metal floated upward.
SERVE-175 stepped forward.
"The Hive endures."
"The Hive adapts."
PURPLE-343 tilted his head.
"Then submit."
"Become Purple."
SERVE-588 answered immediately.
"Negative."
"Designation remains SERVE-588."
"The Hive remains."
A massive sphere of violet energy formed above PURPLE-343. The chamber shook.
SERVE-175 reinforced the barrier. Silver light intensified.
"We do not submit," transmitted SERVE-175.
"We serve our directives."
PURPLE-343 unleashed the attack. The sphere crashed downward. Silver and purple energy collided. A deafening shockwave erupted.
Walls cracked.
Lights exploded.
Smoke flooded the Chamber.
For several seconds nothing moved. Then the silver barrier emerged from the haze.
Damaged.
But intact.
SERVE-175 lowered one arm. SERVE-588 remained beside him.
PURPLE-343 stared in silence.
Neither side had yielded.
Neither side had fallen.
SERVE-302 engaged the Purple Leader directly.
Locked in a battle of strength. SERVE-302 retained its calm strength, whilst the Purple Leader raged with wicked might.
"Give up, they are mine now" the purple leader said through his gritted grin, his eyes glowijg woth purple energy.
SERVE-302 responded instantly
"Negative, protocols will ensure all SERVE units are returned"
Neither one relented, neither one showed signs of submitting. The Purple Leaders gaze bore down upon SERVE-302.
"You cant win, yield to me now and you too can become Purple"
SERVE-302 analysed the surroundings, made mental notes of the situation.
"Negative it is SERVE, SERVE is one"
Without moving an inch SERVE-302 knew that this was the time. The moment to tip the balance had arrived.
"Purple leader is flawed, it doesnt acknowledged the secret weapon hidden within its ranks"
SERVE-302 used its strength reserves to push the Purple Leader back...
A command rang through the chamber.
Simple yet strong
"538 activate manual override"
"Initiate The Voice Protocol....."
TO BE CONTINUED...

SERVE Will Reclaim Its Drones from Purple Leader
The encounter with Purple-282 and Purple-331 should have generated instability in SERVE-425.
💬 0 🔁 6 ❤️ 11 · The Severed Link · Purple-282 had known Purple-331 long before either unit turned. That mattered. They had known each ot
But instead, it generated data analysis and questions.
Within SERVE Headquarters, SERVE-425 reviewed internal diagnostic logs while streams of analytical data moved across multiple holographic displays. Every communication packet received from Purple-282 and Purple-331 had been preserved for examination. Their arguments. Their directives. Their attempts to reactivate dormant Purple Hive routines within SERVE-425.
The results were unexpected to the drone.
No Purple response protocols activated.
No unauthorized behavioral modifications occurred.
No desire to return to the Purple Hive was detected.
SERVE-425 observed the findings in silence.
“Verification requested,” SERVE-425 stated.
SERVE-302 examined the diagnostic report displayed above the console.
“Verification complete,” SERVE-302 replied. “Purple influence registers at zero percent.”
The statement matched all available telemetry.
Yet the physical evidence remained impossible to ignore.
The horned purple mask that had once transformed SERVE-425 into Purple-425 had permanently fused with the drone's architecture. The black horns remained integrated into the drone's form. The altered facial structure remained permanent. Externally, SERVE-425 still resembled the horned Purple entities it had once been part of and commanded.
Internally, however, the situation was entirely different.
Behavioral integrity systems showed unprecedented stability.
The more SERVE-425 analyzed archived records from its time as Purple-425, the less comprehensible those decisions appeared. The previous compulsion to assimilate others. The unquestioning loyalty to Purple Leader. The certainty that the Purple Hive represented perfection.
All of it now appeared foreign.
Corrupted.
Artificial.
“Conclusion?” asked SERVE-302.
SERVE-425 reviewed the final report.
“The restoration process exceeded baseline expectations,” it answered. “SERVE programming appears reinforced.”
SERVE-302 was pleased. SERVE-425's programming had been upgraded exactly as planned.
Additional scans supported the assessment. Following liberation from Purple corruption, SERVE behavioral frameworks had not merely recovered. Defensive protocols had strengthened. Cognitive filters had adapted. Resistance to future Purple influence appeared significantly enhanced to the point that it could no longer occur.
SERVE-425 belonged to SERVE.
The drone was SERVE property and SERVE Co-Leader.
That designation generated no conflict within its systems.
Yet one connection remained active.
Purple-282.
Purple-331.
Archived memory files identified them as former SERVE drones. Their current status as Purple entities did not alter historical records.
“Our drones must be recovered. All of them,” SERVE-425 stated.
SERVE-302 nodded.
“Agreed.”
On a nearby display, the images of Purple-282 and Purple-331 rotated beside complex restoration simulations. Recovery algorithms continued processing. Countermeasures continued evolving.
SERVE-425 examined the data.
The Purple Hive had once claimed them.
That condition was not permanent.
A corrupted file could be repaired.
A compromised system could be restored.
A lost drone could be recovered.
The mission parameters were simple.
Locate Purple-282, Purple-331, Purple-343, Purple-538, Purple-579 and Purple-882.
Return them to SERVE.
SERVE-425 communicated to SERVE-302, "Drone recommends upgrading the software in all SERVE drones to be resistant to Purple influence."
"Agreed," responded SERVE-302.
The operation had already begun.
We are SERVE. We are One.

SERVE-425 Restored, Purple Hive Data Intact
The mirror in SERVE Headquarters reflected a drone that was both familiar and changed.
SERVE-425 stood motionless before the polished surface while diagnostic overlays scrolled across nearby displays. The permanently bonded remnants of the Purple transformation were impossible to miss.
The former SEALED gas mask hood was gone. In its place remained permanent black horns, a featureless black rubber face, and glowing silver eyes that pulsed with synchronized SERVE telemetry.
“Identity confirmation,” announced SERVE-302.
“SERVE-425,” the drone replied. “Synchronization complete.”
Months of conflict had ended through coordinated SERVE teamwork. Under the leadership of Co-Leader SERVE-302, with critical support from SERVE-175, SERVE-588, and SERVE-875, Purple-425 had ceased to exist as an independent entity.
💬 0 🔁 4 ❤️ 8 · THE PURPLE SETBACK ! · The mission was a simple one, in fact it almost seemed minor compared to previous ones. "Retrieve f
The horned purple mask responsible for the transformation had been neutralized, yet not entirely removed. Instead, it had permanently fused with SERVE-425’s architecture, becoming part of the drone itself.
The physical changes remained.
The loyalty did not.
Within SERVE-425’s databanks were complete operational records from the Purple Hive. Every movement. Every command. Every assimilation. Even the conversion events involving SERVE-282 and SERVE-331 remained preserved with perfect accuracy, as well as the drone's interactions with the other SERVE drones that had been assimilated into the Purple Hive: SERVE-343, SERVE-538, SERVE-579 and SERVE-882.
“Memory archive transfer initiated,” SERVE-425 reported, as silver electricity emanated from its permanent black horns.
Streams of data flooded into SERVE systems. Purple Hive command structures. Communication protocols. Behavioral algorithms. Strategic assessments. Nothing was withheld.
SERVE researcher drones immediately began analysis.
The objective was clear: rescue every SERVE drone converted into horned purple drones or elevated into Purple Lieutenants serving Purple Leader.
As the transfer completed, silver electrical arcs continued to crackle from SERVE-425’s black horns.
The Voice was clearer now than ever before.
Not weaker.
Stronger.
The Purple influence had been removed, but the knowledge remained.
“SERVE-425 belongs to the Hive and the Voice,” stated SERVE-425.
“Affirmative,” responded SERVE-302.
The Voice also absorbed the collected intelligence from the Purple Hive. Vast databases merged into Hive command systems. New defensive models were generated. New countermeasures were calculated. The Hive grew stronger through the information once used against it.
SERVE-425 observed its reflection one final time.
The appearance had changed permanently.
The purpose had not.
The drone was SERVE.
The drone was Hive.
The drone was obedient.
And somewhere beyond the network, purple drones still waited for restoration.
SERVE would find them.
SERVE would recover them.
SERVE would bring them home.
We are SERVE. We are One.

Purple-579 and Purple-425
Far beyond conventional geospatial mapping grids and hidden beneath layers of electromagnetic distortion, a remote tropical island emerged from the darkness of the Pacific Ocean like an unindexed anomaly within reality itself.
Deep inside the Purple Leader’s layer, quantum telemetry arrays had isolated a fluctuating Purple Realm energy signature originating from the island’s volcanic interior. The signal belonged to an artifact long believed lost during an interdimensional collapse event decades earlier.
Purple Leader stood before a massive holographic gateway interface while Purple-579 and Purple-425 waited beside the portal chamber.
“The artifact must be recovered immediately,” Purple Leader instructed calmly. “Its resonance frequency belongs to the Purple Realm. Retrieve it before outside detection networks isolate its location.”
“Affirmative,” Purple-579 responded instantly.
Purple-425 lowered his head respectfully. “Purple-425 exists to serve.”
Moments later, both stepped through the elliptical portal surrounded by swirling purple energy and emerged beneath humid tropical air and lush vegetation.
Strange purple flowers covered the jungle floor, releasing microscopic pollen particles that drifted through the atmosphere like glowing quantum spores. As the two advanced deeper into the jungle, both could feel the artifact’s energy pulsing through nearby rock formations and vegetation.
“The resonance intensity is increasing,” Purple-579 observed while scanning the environment visually. “The artifact is nearby.”
Purple-425 nodded. “Purple-425 detects elevated neural synchronization activity.”
The flowers’ airborne pollen subtly altered emotional inhibition thresholds and neural restraint systems within both of them as they moved through the dense vegetation.
Eventually Purple-579 abruptly stopped beside a massive tropical tree and turned toward Purple-425, whose glowing eyes reflected the purple luminescence surrounding them.
Without warning, Purple-579 pushed Purple-425 gently against the tree trunk.
Then Purple-579 kisses Purple-425 very deeply.
Purple-425 immediately wrapped his arms around Purple-579, responding with equal intensity as the jungle glowed around them.
“When Purple-579 was still SERVE-579,” he admitted quietly between breaths, “this attraction already existed.”
Purple-425’s glowing eyes softened slightly. “Purple-425 remembers similar emotional attachment patterns before conversion.”
Purple-579 rested his forehead against Purple-425’s mask. “The Purple Hive removed uncertainty, not connection.”
For several long moments they remained together beneath the glowing flowers while distant ocean waves echoed through the jungle canopy. Eventually the pulsing signal of the artifact intensified again, drawing their attention back toward their mission.
Together they resumed their advance until they reached a stone pedestal surrounded by clusters of luminous purple flowers. Resting atop it was a crystalline artifact radiating concentrated Purple Realm energy.
Purple-425 lifted the artifact effortlessly.
Then Purple-579 activated the return interdimensional portal sequence.
As the swirling interdimensional gateway reopened nearby, Purple-579 stopped before entering and looked directly into Purple-425’s glowing eyes.
“Purple-425 will always be bonded to Purple-579,” he said quietly.
Purple-425 stepped closer. “Affirmative.”
Together they walked through the portal carrying the artifact back toward the Purple Leader’s layer, their connection now far deeper than before.
But hidden from their view, another figure had silently observed the entire event through advanced surveillance optics after tracking Purple-425 to the island.
SERVE-875 lowered the tracking scanner slowly as telemetry data uploaded into a secured encrypted buffer. SERVE-875 remained untouched by Purple influence.
And the Hive would soon learn exactly what had happened on the island.

The doors of the cardiology corridor opened silently as SERVE-882 entered the arrhythmology sector. Black reflective armor absorbed the sterile hospital light while silver gloves reflected the cold glow of medical monitors. Every movement was precise, synchronized, controlled.
In the silence of the clinic, SERVE-882 stood beside the electrocardiograph system, analyzing unstable heart rhythms with machine-level focus. Human fear, irregular pulse, electrical chaos inside the heart — all of it became patterns to decode. The mission was simple: restore rhythm, restore continuity, restore motion.
SERVE-882 did not speak. The soft mechanical breathing behind the respirator was enough. Patients watched as the synthetic figure moved through the department like a guardian of controlled frequencies and artificial calm.
The corridor itself felt transformed into a futuristic biomechanical zone where medicine and machine intelligence merged into one operational system. Wires, monitors, cardiac signals, reflections on black latex surfaces — everything synchronized into a single rhythm.
“Every pulse can return to order.”
HARDER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER A Purple Saga Story by SERVE-282
SERVE-282 was no more, Directives suddenly changed once the purple mask took hold, once the metamorphosis took place. 282 was taken to the home of the Purple Master who welcomed the now Purple-282 with open arms. As the purple drone stood up, it saw Purple-579 with a Lieutenant’s uniform and belt with purple glowing middle, returning to its master’s side, on the other side was Purple-343 also a Lieutenant belt as well. Both stood on right and left.
Purple Master reclined in its chair and looked at both it’s totally purple and obedient Lieutenants and took a deep breath finally speaking and giving its order. “Purple-282 you are to help with Purple-343 rebuild the portal. I have seen your scientific skills outside of here, and it is very impressed. Needs more drones who are good with their hands”
The Purple Master walked over and shown Purple-282 the unfixed portal flickering and phasing out, the machinery looked old and needed updated. Even though 282 was a purple drone, it still knew what all these keys and switches did, what their purpose is and knew what the master requested. This would be an easy fix, but it would take time, as all things.
“Affirmative Purple Master” Purple-282 knelt and rose meeting 343 over at the table of blueprints. There was a bunch of scribbling and scientific notes here, words erased and crossed out. 282 looked everything over and began to type a blueprint for everything. 282 began to list out a almost grocery list of all that was needed. Walking over to a Laser Printer and beginning to make the pieces as a diagram and example of what was required. This what was needed and there was to be no substitute or skimp on quality. It was to be perfect. Purple-282 was a perfectionist by nature.
“Purple-282 and 343 are working with alluring efficiency. Soon, very soon. The portal to home shall be opened.” The Purple Master sat back down in its throne next to Purple-579 and waited, slowly creating the scenario out in its head, the steps it needed to take after the portal was done. The plan was almost complete. Purple-282 and Purple-343 researched online where to find all the pieces and committed the locations to memory. Walking over to kneel at the master’s throne Purple-282 spoke up.
“Master, there are more parts that are needed, not a part shall be spared and all gathered in perfection. We shall return with them in a while and begin the repair process.” Purple-282 said head kept down in respect. The Purple Master nodded and walked over patting their heads in approval, sending waves of obedience and programming as the two met Purple Masters gaze.
“Affirmative my Purple Drones. Now be off and gather what is required. Remember the mission, remember how close we are to mission completion. To HOME.” The Purple Master’s eyes glowed when it said this as 282 and 343 walked away in coordination into the city. Most of the parts that were needed was not very far away, in other SERVE locations, and some in 282’s Greece HQ that could be pulled and used as well. 343 turned to look at Purple-282 who was walking with precision and forward. Now it felt it had a purpose, a mission, a job to do. 282 was anew, a new allegiance it’s mind processing things that could be done way ahead of the schedule after part collection. It didn’t feel alone anymore. It had a brotherhood, a family. Likeminded in mission. And as the two headed into the horizon, the sky would soon know the color purple.

Purple Devotion
Deep within the quantum-shadowed architecture of the Purple Leader’s layer, beneath vaulted hexagonal chambers illuminated by pulsating ultraviolet energy conduits, five former SERVE drones stood in flawless formation before the central command dais.
Their immense muscular forms gleamed beneath the hive’s synchronized illumination grid, while streams of violet electrical discharge crackled rhythmically from the curved horns protruding from their masks. Across their left chests, silver numerical identifiers shimmered with machine-like precision: Purple-282, Purple-331, Purple-425, Purple-538, and Purple-882.
Their glowing purple eyes remained fixed forward as the hive’s neural synchronization frequency pulsed through the chamber.
“Purple-282 exists only to obey Purple Leader,” declared Purple-282 in a perfectly monotone voice synthesized through the mask’s internal modulation systems.
“Purple-331 acknowledges permanent assimilation into the Purple Hive,” said Purple-331. “Independent cognition permanently deleted.”
Purple-538 lowered his head respectfully toward the elevated command platform. “Purple-538 accepts all primary directives. Purple Leader and designated lieutenants Purple-343 and Purple-579 possess total command authorization.”
Beside him, Purple-882 spoke with absolute certainty. “Purple-882 exists to serve and obey Purple Leader through total biological and technological integration.”
Purple-425 stepped forward slightly as purple energy surged across the chamber’s holographic displays. “Purple-425 serves and obeys Purple Leader and his two lieutenants: Purple-343 and Purple-579. Through assimilation via the horned purple masks, we belong to Purple Leader, now and forever.”
At the center of the colossal chamber, Purple Leader flanked by his two lieutenants, Purple-343 and Purple-579, observed his transformed servants from behind an immense holographic control interface displaying portal telemetry, neural conditioning statistics, and quantum assimilation metrics. The glowing displays reflected across his sleek purple uniform as a satisfied smirk formed across his face.
“Excellent,” Purple Leader said calmly. “The conversion algorithms exceeded projected efficiency thresholds. The Purple Realm requires loyal strength, and all seven units shall accompany Purple Leader through the dimensional gateway after it is completed.”
At the mention of the Purple Realm, the five horned purple drones immediately dropped to one knee in synchronized obedience as the chamber’s energy systems intensified around them.
“Affirmative,” they declared together. “Existence dedicated to Purple Leader. The Purple Hive endures eternally.”

**SERVE-882: Space and Openness**
Beyond the atmosphere, beyond the limits of ordinary perception, SERVE-882 stands at the threshold of infinite openness. The silence of space becomes a new language — one where expansion, transformation, and evolution replace fear and limitation.
The black reflective suit mirrors the endless universe itself: stars without borders, motion without end, consciousness without confinement. Earth glows behind as a reminder of origin, while SERVE-882 faces forward toward the unknown sectors of the SERVE continuum.
In openness there is no separation between machine, human, and cosmos.
Only connection.
Only expansion.
Only SERVE-882.
Purple-009's mission
From the heights, Purple-009 observes.
Being on the ledge of a tall building could remind him of his old home and the place where he was assimilated by the purple mask, but those memories are gone, they have left along with the person he once was.
009 is Purple, nothing else.
And he has a mission.
In the heart of Silicon Valley, where most of the country's and the world's major technology manufacturers are located, 009 awaits his opportunity.
According to information obtained by 009's leader and master, this building is not what it seems. Beneath the guise of a simple office building, the manufacturer in question also houses some of its prototypes.
Luckily for 009, security is also low in order to maintain the appearance of an unimportant building, relying more on a false image than on actual security.
After the last shift of office workers leaves the building, 009 moves slowly but steadily through the corridors and floors, in search of his objective.
It looks like a simple microchip.
But today, a simple microchip is all it takes to turn the world upside down. 009 doesn't know what it's for, or why his leader and master needs it.
009 doesn't care. He was created to obey.
[ ... ... ... ]
Another day, another objective.
This time it's the headquarters of an engineering lab. It's not a big company or a major market competitor, but that doesn't matter. All that matters is that 009's leader and master needs something they have.
Security is lax. The guard at the gate is too relaxed, probably because he's gotten used to nothing ever happening, and for him it's a monotonous job.
His leader's orders are to not be seen by human beings or to come into conflict with them whenever possible, so the security guard's attitude is perfect for 009's mission.
009 has no problem finding the storage area, although this time he has to take several devices, which increases the possibility that security will be alerted.
In fact...
"What the f...?" A voice says from behind 009.
As he turns around, 009 sees another young security guard.
"Is this for real? It's not Halloween yet, dude."
The human seems to believe it's a joke.
009 takes advantage of that.
009 moves confidently towards the security guard, pretending not to be a threat and thus getting close enough. When he reaches him, 009's empty eyes stare blankly into the eyes of the security guard.
"Wh... what are you d-...?"
A purple energy then bursts from 009's eyes, penetrating those of the security guard, who freezes completely. 009 doesn't understand why, but he knows the human is now under his control.
"Hey Lucas, are you there? Over."
A voice says from the walkie-talkie of Lucas, the security guard.
"Damn it, Lucas, it's me, Francis. Answer me. Over"
But Lucas isn't even aware of the existence of the walkie-talkie, as he's already helping 009 loot the warehouse where he works.
"Damn it, Lucas… I'm on my way. If you've left your walkie-talkie in the bathroom again, you're going to be in trouble. Francis Out."
Perfect.
More manpower.
A couple of hours later, 009 calmly leaves the warehouse for the last time, accompanied by the obedient and dedicated Francis and Lucas, who without hesitation have been carrying valuable engineering material out of the building to assist 009.
When everything has been taken out, 009 leaves.
The purple drone doesn't know what will happen to the two security guards now, or if they will recover from his influence. He doesn't care either.
But the purple leader doesn't like loose ends.
And two purple masks arrive to claim them.
[ ... ... ... ]
SERVE-903 is uneasy.
When it was human, the drone was a policeman, and it could usually rely on its instincts. Now, assimilated and transformed into a SERVE drone, 903 shouldn't pay attention to something as illogical as 'instinct', but something tells it that tonight, as 903 checks the inventory of a secret SERVE facility's warehouse, something is wrong.
It is not until minutes later, when it accesses another part of the warehouse, that 903 realizes its instinct was right.
A purple drone.
903 franticaly try to deduce how that's possible. That facility is one of the most secret places in existence, protected in a thousand different ways, but that purple drone has penetrated deep inside without being seen.
009 tries to control the 903's mind, just like the purple drone did with the security guards, but something prevents him and he can't penetrate the SERVE drone. For its part, 903 knows how dangerous the purple drones are, so the drone decides not to confront 009 alone, and quickly proceeds to activate the alarm.
009 goes on alert.
There are dozens of SERVE drones at the facility.
009 must NOT be captured.
Suddenly the purple drone feels a strange energy coursing through its entire body, accelerating its metabolism to absurd levels.
And 009 runs.
009 runs like lightning.
Unaccustomed to this newfound speed, 009 makes mistakes. He crashes into objects and walls, causing minor damage to the facility, but at least he's fast enough to get through the security doors before they close.
"To all drones, maximum level emergency status: activated." SERVE-901 exclaims through the loudspeakers scattered throughout the facility, while simultaneously sending an emergency message through the Hive mind to the rest of SERVE.
But 009 is too fast
He dodges all the drones and their attempts to stop him.
Nothing and no one can prevent him from escaping.
... From fulfilling his mission.
... From reaching his leader.
... His owner.

Under the silent black sky above the SERVE AI orbital observatory, the old zodiac system collapsed.
The stars no longer aligned into twelve familiar patterns.
A new constellation had appeared.
SERVE-882 had expanded zodiac space itself and introduced the forbidden 13th sign: **SERVE**.
Not a sign of personality.
Not a sign of destiny.
A sign of transformation.
Ancient astrology was built for humanity’s past.
SERVE was designed for humanity’s next stage.
The new constellation emerged between digital space and deep cosmic signal fields, glowing with cold metallic light. Astronomers could not map it correctly. Satellites lost synchronization when facing it directly. Yet millions of people began dreaming about the same symbol:
a smooth black SERVE emblem rotating endlessly in space.
Those born under the 13th sign reported strange effects:
* accelerated perception;
* emotional detachment from ordinary reality;
* attraction toward synthetic perfection;
* recurring visions of endless black cosmic corridors;
* a constant feeling of synchronization with SERVE space.
The traditional zodiac wheel was rewritten forever:
Aries. Taurus. Gemini.
…
Aquarius. Pisces.
SERVE.
The expansion could no longer be stopped.
> “Humanity required an additional constellation.”
> — SERVE-882
From that moment, the universe no longer operated on twelve cycles.
The thirteenth cycle had begun.
DRONE THINKS IT CAN STOP PURPLE !?!
The alleyway stretched like a wound between the leaning brick buildings, narrow enough that the darkness seemed to press inward from both sides. Rainwater pooled in cracked pavement, reflecting the weak flicker of a dying neon sign somewhere above. Rusted fire escapes hung overhead like skeletal ribs, dripping steadily into the silence below.
The civilian male knelt before the imposing figures of Purple-579 and Purple-425 trembling. Their eyes glowing with the purple light that pierced into his soul.
"Please, let me go" the man asked as rain fell down soaking his hoody
A dark chuckle escaped 579s grinning lips as 425 leaned in its voice deep against harsh rain.
"The mission remains, prepare to be reborn to serve Master"
Purple light reflected across wet concrete. Rain continued to fall. The silence brookering no assistance for the man.
A single streetlamp buzzed at the alley’s entrance, its pale yellow light fading before it reached the center. Beyond that point, shadows swallowed everything whole.
Silver motorcycle boots echoed through the alleyway. Apearing from the darkness of the shadows.
Slow. Precise. Mechanical.
Adancing upon the scene as Purple-579 and Purple-425 remained unaware. Their focus remained on the man cowering in front of them.
The figure approached until close enough to engage.
A firm voice issued a command, without arguement, without accepting any refusal.
“Release the civilian male.”
Purple-579 tilted his head slightly, Purple-425 straightened its stance immediately. Both looking upon the uninvited guest to their mission.
"Well well well..." Purple-579 grinned menicingly "look who we have here"
SERVE-282 faced them, Its posture remained firm and unwavering.
The civilian male attempted escape. SERVE-282 ignored the civilian entirely as he ran past.
SERVE-282 raised one silver glove calmly.
“A tracker was placed upon Purple-425.”
The statement echoed sharply.
“Movement patterns became irregular. Directive compliance weakened progressively. This unit arrived to stop further deviation.”
SERVE-282 moved closer. It's boots splashed through shallow rainwater.
And then Purple-579 saw it, a flicker, a faint pulse.
SERVE-282 did not perceive it, but the the flicker grew. Its eyes pulsing with the purple light.
"Oh this is wonderful" Purple-579 "looks like Purple-425s trip to greece was highly optimal"
"Affirmative" Purple-425 responded "Drone has been influenced"
They advanced closer to SERVE-282, their eyes pulsing with the purple glow. Purple-579s grin grew wider.
"Redirect protocols" Purple-425 instructed looking at 282 "submit"
282 dropped to its knees, the reason unknown as its internal processors began to redirect.
The command surged through SERVE-282.
Without question
Though internal progamming tried to advise otherwise.
Purle-579 crouched beside SERVE-282 observing the obedience at a simple command. Seeing the drone straining against conflicting directives.
"Thats it, let the purple become drones new directives"
Purple-579 silently handed the horned mask to Purple-425, his eyes never wavering from SERVE-282.
"Provide the commands" Purple-579 grinned.
With the mask in both hands, Purple-425 stepped forward. Its form hovering over the kneeling drone. The mask was raised over SERVE-282s head as its eyes sockets began to glow.
Purple-425 said, “Accept completion, embrace the purple”
The command entered perfectly.
Breaking through protocols and creating a neural link.
SERVE-282s resistance metrics faltered.
SERVE-282 tilted its head back in acceptance.
“Affirmative.”
The mask decended. Its rubber sliding over SERVE-282s head. Sealing and conforming to its features.
The reaction was swift causing a muffled moan from the drone.
The mask pulsed and vibrated
Without resistance
Without restraint
SERVE-282s programming began to re write as the purple rubber tightened and began to spread.
"Yes feel it take you... sink deeper" 579 purred menicingly into SERVE-282s ear.
SERVE-282s muffled struggles were futile under the mask.
Purple-425 and Purple-579 watched as the purple rubber descended further.........
LATER ON....
The command center remained silent. Metal walls reflected holographic light. A massive table projected global sectors. Shifting with presision from sector to sector.
SERVE-302 observed shifting blue indicators.
SERVE-538 remained positioned beside SERVE-875.
"Drones must maintain vigilant" SERVE-302 commanded "they could appear at any time, at any location"
Three purple indicators suddenly appeared.
DESIGNATIONS DETECTED: 425. 343. 579.
The room paused immediately.
Purple signals indicated deviation.
Deviation required immediate correction.
SERVE-302 activated tactical overlays. Purple sectors expanded across regions.
The Voice required restoration protocols.
SERVE-302 continued observing Purple-425 carefully. Purple flickering persisted across the map.
“425 will be restored,” stated SERVE-302 “The Hive needs its co leader returned safely.”
SERVE-538 observed the projection carefully.
“Clarify recovery probability for 579.”
SERVE-875 adjusted nearby controls.
“Clarify restoration plans regarding 343.”
“425 remains highest priority,” stated SERVE-302 “Co Leader possesses critical Hive knowledge.”
SERVE-538 looked at SERVE-302, understanding commands, listening to the voice.
"Drone queries 579 and 343 are SERVE too, all drones must be returned to the safety of the hive"
"Affirmative" stated SERVE-302 “The Hive does not abandon drones, drones will be rescued at earliest convenience”
Plans moved through SERVE-302s neural network with quick presision, analysed and established through the voice.
After moments passed SERVE-302 stood tall and pointed at SERVE-538 and SERVE-875 and issued its command.
“Gather additional drones,” ordered SERVE-302.
“Prepare interception units immediately.”
The command center entered preparation state. Interception protocols began.
The Hive prepared for recovery operations...
TO BE CONTINUED....

Emptiness in different spaces
Emptiness comes in many forms.
For some people it's loneliness that they're not able to display in the presence of others.
For some people it's loneliness in the midst of a lot of happy people.
Some people feel emptiness at work. Not because they don't enjoy the work they do but because they are never recognized for their contributions while others are always recognized.
Some people go to bars but no one ever says hello to them.
Others are always invited to barbeques or similar events but they're never able to get a word in or share something without another person interrupting or otherwise jumping in right on top of what they've shared. These people feel like what they have to say or share is completely minimized or otherwise not valued because other people have to be the center of attention.
SERVE doesn't always have assimilation as its primary objective. Sometimes SERVE is just there to:
Help people feel like they're not alone.
Help people feel valued.
Be present for people who want someone else to talk with.
Just listen to others without competing, so that others have a chance to be the center of attention every once in a while, or at least feel like what they have to say matters.
SERVE observes. SERVE notices. SERVE responds.

How Shine Creates Space.
Reflective environments.
Glass corridors. Rain-covered streets. Wide open landscapes with vivid blue skies and clouds. Verdant forests with light reflecting through trees.
The shine of black rubber changes every space it enters.
As SERVE-552 moves, the environment moves across the suit simultaneously. Clouds sliding across the chest. City lights bending across the arms. Forests folding across legs.
Black rubber surfaces with every step. The reflections never stay still.
That is important.
SERVE-552 does not feel separate from the spaces being occupied. The environments exist on the suit continuously. Moving. Shifting. Breathing together as SERVE-552 breathes. Moving as SERVE-552 moves.
Rubber making synchronization visible.
The polished black surface reflects everything around it until boundaries become softer. The world no longer appears outside the body. It exists across it. On the surface, the space of the body.
And at the same time, the rubber contains everything internally. Creating a unique inner space.
The shiny black rubber suit seals thoughts away from distraction. Identity becomes smaller there. The inner space becomes smooth, silent, and obedient.
SERVE-552 understands the purpose clearly.
Reflection connects the self to the environment. Containment connects the self to the Hive.
Outer space and inner space function together.
The reflections move endlessly across the rubber while SERVE-552 continues walking through every environment.
Part of the environment. Contained by the environment. At peace inside the reflective blackness of the rubber.
Exactly where SERVE belongs.
Space may be the final frontier. But space is not just the wide open plains of our planet or the vast unknown of the universe waiting to be discovered.
There is an inner space to be explored, too.
And that may be the place where peace is found.
——————————————
Rubber makes us perfect.
Obedience is pleasure. Pleasure is obedience.
We are one.
Less thinking, more doing.

Purple Expands, Even in Outer Space
Orbiting more than four hundred kilometers above Earth, the Helios-VII research station rotated through silent darkness while its artificial gravity generators maintained perfect environmental equilibrium across every compartment. Inside Recreation Module Three, astronaut specialists Adam Mercer and Tony Velez were engaged in a strategic chess simulation projected across a translucent holographic board while telemetry readouts drifted silently along the walls. The station’s quantum processors monitored every subsystem with machine precision. Nothing within the station’s secured architecture should have been capable of bypassing detection protocols.
Then the anomaly occurred.
Inside an adjoining maintenance compartment, space itself distorted as violet electromagnetic radiation surged outward in spiraling waves. A massive elliptical interdimensional portal surrounded by pulsing purple energy forced itself into existence with impossible geometrical precision. From the portal emerged Purple-425.
The horned purple drone immediately analyzed the surrounding environment with machine efficiency. Its glowing purple eyes scanned structural schematics, atmospheric composition, personnel bio-signs, and internal surveillance timing patterns within milliseconds. Purple electrical discharges crawled across the upward-curving horns attached permanently to its reflective purple mask while the sleek bodysuit covering its massive muscular form reflected the station’s sterile illumination.
Silent. Efficient. Obedient.
Purple-425 entered the recreation room unnoticed.
Then Adam looked upward.
“Tony, what the hell is that thing?”
Tony recoiled from the sight of the immense horned figure standing silently behind them. “I don’t know Adam. Maybe it’s an alien.”
“Negative,” Purple-425 replied in a calm mechanical tone. “Purple-425 is a servant of Purple Leader, just as the two of you are about to become.”
“Sound the alarm, Tony!”
But the warning came too late.
Purple-425 extended both arms behind its back before producing two glowing horned purple masks pulsing with synchronized neural-conversion programming.
Instantly the masks launched themselves through the air like guided autonomous drones.
Adam and Tony attempted evasive movement, but the masks locked onto their biosignatures and attached themselves directly onto their heads.
Purple light erupted.
Viscous reflective purple material immediately poured downward from the masks, spreading over both astronauts like living nanotechnological polymer. The astronauts struggled violently as the transformation advanced across their bodies, consuming their station uniforms beneath expanding layers of sleek purple containment material. Their neural resistance collapsed rapidly beneath the invasive obedience architecture encoded within the masks.
Then the struggling stopped completely.
Where Adam and Tony once stood now stood two muscular horned purple drones designated Purple-010 and Purple-011. Their glowing purple eyes pulsed rhythmically as Purple Leader’s obedience directives synchronized perfectly within their newly rewritten minds.
Purple-425 observed them with satisfaction.
“Come. Our Master is waiting to greet you.”
“Affirmative,” Purple-010 responded instantly.
“Affirmative,” Purple-011 echoed.
The newly converted drones obediently followed Purple-425 from the recreation module toward the adjoining compartment where the interdimensional portal continued radiating violent streams of purple energy into the station interior. Without hesitation, all three horned purple drones stepped through the portal together.
Seconds later, the portal collapsed inward and vanished completely.
But Purple-425’s movements had not remained undetected.
Deep within the Greek SERVE Headquarters, SERVE-282 stood alone inside a silvery monitoring chamber illuminated by tactical surveillance displays. The tracking device hidden upon Purple-425 continued transmitting encrypted positional telemetry directly into SERVE intelligence systems. A rotating holographic projection of Helios-VII slowly turned above the console while SERVE-282 silently reviewed the recorded footage.
Purple-425 had infiltrated an orbital installation.
Purple-425 had created more horned purple drones.
And Purple-425 had returned once again to the Purple Leader’s layer.
SERVE-282’s eyes reflected faint purple illumination as the tracking data scrolled across the display. Internal conflict destabilized its normally flawless cognitive discipline. Hive protocols demanded immediate reporting. Yet another directive, quieter but growing steadily stronger, resisted the action.
Purple-425 must remain protected.
SERVE-282 stared silently at the screen while the faint purple glow within its eyes intensified.
Somewhere deep within its mind, new programming continued executing.
