Chapter 14) S.I.O.

  POV: Serne

  The supernatural investigation organization, a myth all people hear whisperings of.

  They are said to be the back end of the other S.I.O., or societies investigation organization.

  Their name is straight to the point. And now they are chasing straight after me.

  Through streets & down stairs, they have barely missed me each time.

  But now they catch up, now they near.

  And now they got me.

  …

  After they interrogate me, they learn half of the truth.

  They learn someone called Asterios found the secret of immortality and gave it to me.

  I do not wish to anger him. He doesn’t seem all that terrible despite how he might be impulsive.

  He may not think his actions through, but he seems to feel remorse.

  I do hope he frees me, or I fear I may tell them the rest.

  I also want him to run, in case they take his power, or use him as a pawn.

  But I am angry at him, why doesn’t he use his power to help?

  If he can’t, why not?

  ————————————————————————

  I’ve spent a couple more days pnning something, what you ask?

  A city, and not just any city, but an autonomous one.

  I pn to make a city that self-repairs, self-cleans, self everything!

  But, it’ll all be done in the shadows.

  I want the city to be eerie, too perfect. I pn to pce my collective in it.

  I’ll have them continue in it, every need that could be met, met. They won’t need it though, they are all immortal.

  My hope is that they get smart enough to converse, so I can mess with people, without messing with people.

  It might be funny to put the city on a pnet nearby the wolf kin.

  ———————————————

  I’ve created the city, it was harder than I thought.

  Making it self-repair was easy, making it hidden was harder.

  You can see it repair itself, the ground becomes liquid for a brief moment, then seeping and repairing.

  I had to make it stop on sight, essentially doing nothing when seen that’s different than normal material.

  It’s a grand, perfect city.

  It’s like a utopian society, it’s… actually, I don’t want to spoil it, but it’s awesome!

  Now, time to put it somewhere… how about that semi-occupied pnet nearby the wolfkin’s main pnet.

  Don’t need to think about air, the collective doesn’t need to breathe.

  So I plop down the city.

  ————————————

  On a pnet simir to mars, there are wolfkin researchers.

  They study the pnet, attempting to gain key insights, and uncover the pnets secrets.

  Unlike mars near earth, this pnet, Mave, has definitive evidence of prior life. The researchers have already uncovered ancient biomass samples, they spend their days toiling away. They test samples, and the interesting ones get sent home.

  One day, their routine is interrupted by a massive storm.

  And then the appearance of a massive city.
