Cameo POV - [System Sub-Manager Zorb.68710]
Things were progressing nicely and we were on track for completing the integration of this new species nicely. These humans were interesting organisms. Somehow they had survived long enough, despite their somewhat violent and self destructive tendencies, to reach the crucial milestone. Of course they were nowhere near the worst in this respect. The participants from Sector 2369 were significantly more violent, and the previous participants from this Sector were a complete disaster.
Looking back through the archives I was surprised to see that it was the same planet last time. That was such an exceedingly small probability it didn’t even register. Just goes to show that some things just can’t be predicted. Out of interest I dug into the records. Ahhh, here in the executive summary it states that the genetic criteria for uplift was too wide and thus the whole iteration was compromised. That age old problem of sapience vs sentience. Getting it wrong was catastrophic.
Hmmmmm, getting back to the matter at tendril I noticed the resolution of our support tickets was well below par. This should be tracking well above 99.99%.
I flicked up some more details… total of 64,802 open tickets. Who wasn’t paying attention? I was going to blow some serious wattage up their… Oh... whoops, that's me. I had inadvertently silenced my message notifications. This was not going to be good. I opened the link with some trepidation.

Just the single instance has raised all these…. I paused trying to grapple with this baffling intelligence. I wasn’t sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing but it certainly was the last thing I expected. It was beyond strange, the problem tutorial had been running for 18 hours actual? This was simply unheard of. Using the local valuation of time these instanced tutorials should run for between 6 and 9 minutes each with an elapsed subjective time of approximately 180 to 270 days. Taking into account the time compression this one had been running for… I paused again, not quite believing my senses… 32,400 subjective days?… or 90 years give or take a year.
Oh no, I was in so much slime.
Time to escalate and take my medicine.

Res Publica: Republic Among Monarchs
Leonhard has always questioned the idea of rulership. In this world of endless war and strife, he often pondered the validation of Monarchy and Republic. For the past decade, he had invested his life into studying it. Still, as the son of Patrician Pabio Zieten, head of one of the most prominent houses in the Republic of Iodeal, he found himself obstructed by the duties he must perform. These duties range from venturing into the post-succession war island kingdom, dealing with rivaling houses and even leading troops into the field of battle. It would seem as if he would never get the time needed to discover the way of rulership. But perhaps being involved in such politics would enable him to discover something much more important than he had originally hoped...

Fabrication
Welcome to the Winter Sector. This is your first time here, isn’t it? Waking up in the lands of snow with little to no thoughts of your past must be rough. Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. The vast plains of snow hold dominant around here, little to no bumps to be seen, no hills or craters. A white desert. Mountain ranges can be seen from afar. A forest somewhere down a cliff. Rare caverns here and there. Also, structures can be found abandoned. Going through these white lands is dangerous alone, perhaps get yourself a guide, or hold a map and a compass. But no matter how better you traverse, the abstracted distance would never change. If you had the unlucky start of waking up here, then let’s hope you find someone to give you clothes and shelter. The is beyond survivable. Unlike the other sectors, the Winter Sector doesn’t care to make things easy for newcomers. There are going to be tons of questions, most of which would be unanswered until you reach the end of the road. Unnatural things, abnormal dreams, anomalous scenes. This isn’t the world you were born in. Though it might look it, it won’t act like it.
