The Aftermath | Chapter 3 | Body Discovery

You were shooed away from the storage room hallway by force. As you waited for word from Nefesh and Ruach, Neshama soon joined you.

“It appears a dangerous gas was detected in the air within the storage room.” She crossed her arms, clucking her tongue. “It should be safe for you to enter soon enough.”

Chayah sidled up behind her soon after.

“Ooh, what’s going on, what’s going on?”

“Chayah, go downstairs.” But Neshama didn’t pay him any mind.

“Awww, fiiiine…”

He stormed off, pouting. Soon enough, Nefesh returned, looking dejected.

“It’s… It’s clear now. You’re… not gonna like this.”

Her steps were heavy, and she slowly turned around to lead you back down the hallway towards storage. As you passed by the storage room door, now jammed 90% open, you spied Ruach, sans goggles, arms crossed, looking more tired than ever. He merely shot a glance through the doorway,

Nikki Hera, the Sociologist, and Hideyoshi Ueno, the Computer Technician, were sprawled on the floor, face down. A faint sickly smell hung over the air, meaning beyond the shadow of a doubt - they were dead.

Soon enough, that voice came over the PA system once more.

“Attention please - two bodies have been discovered in the Storage Room. Work will be suspended to allow for an investigation into this matter. After which, we will convene an official meeting to review this incident.”

The Trash Compactor | Chapter 3 | EVENT

The door, normally off-limits to clerks and employees alike, was unlocked, and slightly ajar. As you approached it, a wave of apprehension swept over you. Did you really want to see what was on the other side?

Were you really prepared to face this truth?

Hesitantly, you nudged open the door and slipped inside, one by one.

Inside, you found a larger room than expected, filled with what appeared to be assembly lines, as well as other machinery, too complex for you to comprehend. A putrid stench met your nose. Whatever this place was, it felt ungodly wrong.

You heard a familiar voice up ahead - was that Neshama?

“Now, now, it’s all going to be okay.”

“I don’t want to, I’m scared...” And… Chayah?

You step forward, and they come into view. Or at least their voices do. What stands before you are two machines, box-like machines with mechanical arms and legs. They have the voices of the two Sephirah you’ve recently met, but… Is this really them?

“Did you ever hear of the AI Ethics Amendment?”

Aletheia had come into the room behind you. You whirled around to confront her, finding her maintaining the appearance you’ve come to know this whole time.

“The Sephirah you’ve come to know, they appeared human to you this whole time, yes? Expressive, emotive, alive? Perhaps moreso than myself, even. But they can never truly have a human appearance, due to this amendment. The only AI here capable of having such a sophisticated appearance is myself. Haven’t I told you that from the beginning?”

At this point, Neshama had noticed your presence, though Chayah was still babbling incoherently behind her.

“What’s with that look on your faces? Don’t make me laugh. I’m not in the mood.” She crossed her arms, appearing irritated, despite her current appearance. 

Chayah whimpered. Neshama reached out and gave his frame a gentle pat.

“Now, now, no need to worry, it’ll all be over soon.” She scooted forward a little, leaving him be. “Well since you’ve come here anyway, you may as well know now. This is the place we were born, and the place we’ll come to die someday.”

“Everything you’ve seen here has been distorted and filtered quite heavily.” Aletheia added. “But that does not include this place. If you intend to stay here, do not look away.”

“You’re right to hate us, you know.” Neshama’s words seemed tired, devoid of their usual measuredness. “This is all we know. This is all we have. I only hope that someday it will all end, and we can finally rest for good.”

You blinked, and Chayah vanished with a sickening crunch as a metal pillar with a flat bottom closed onto the ground. Silence fell over the room, broken only by the faint dripping of blood onto the floor from within the press. 

After a few moments, someone else files into the room behind you.

“Oi, there you are-” It’s Nefesh. Or another box-like robotic frame, with a glowing eye - this one with Nefesh’s voice. “Ah. It’s happened, then?”

“Yes… Tell Ruach he was right.” Neshama sighed, a tinge of sadness in her voice. “I should have known this would happen again when he woke up early, I was just… glad to see him in good spirits for once.”

“I don’t blame you, and neither does he.” It seems she’s just noticed you now. “Oh shit, you’re all here? Well… No going back now, I suppose. Haaah…”

“I know you won’t spare us any thoughts, so I won’t ask it of you.” Neshama addressed you hesitantly. “Just know that the scars in this facility run far deeper than you could ever understand. Now go. Your kind do not belong here, in a place of death like this.”

The Fog Hangs Heavy | Chapter 3 | START

“Step back, Chayah.”

Aletheia arrived before Chayah could say anything else. She strode right past everyone, taking a seat at her desk.

“Good morning. I won’t try to indulge you with pleasantries today, no doubt you are in no mood, and frankly... I am in no mood to hear your protests. A new level of this facility has been opened to you, and as such, your work responsibilities will be expanded.”

Oh, it seems she’s not putting on airs quite as much.

“You can hate me if you wish, as long as you keep working to gather energy. Hate is such a narrow-minded emotion, you know. It blinds you to the truth around you. Like a fog, hanging over you. If you must use it as a motivator, then by all means, hate me. Do not hate the staff, though. Would you hate your direct supervisor for policies a room full of executives who make their yearly salary in an hour put into place?”

She falls silent for a moment.

“Precisely. So hate me if you must, but I only ask that you keep listening to what I have to say. And in response, I will try to be more forthcoming with you, as well. The more this facility grows, the more I am able to tell you.”

And yet she smiles.

“You’ve briefly met Neshama, the head of Central Command. While you’re working on that level, I expect you to follow her directives, and she has been known to be strict - the Discipline department falls under her purview, as well. So at this point, I’ll turn you over to her. Until we meet again.”

“Come along now, and I’ll give you a tour. Stay close, everyone!”

“Let’s go, let’s gooo! You’re gonna super love it!”

Chayah was the only one excited, it seemed. But alas, here you go.

Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, 'Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life. I will put sinews on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the LORD.'
