[AUDIO: PAINED GRUNTS] O-Omega... did we make it?
Yes. Get up. Upsilon followed us to the surface and is continuing their attack. We're not going to survive for long in this ship -- we need to move!
Damnit! Everything hurts... [AUDIO: MUFFLED EXPLOSION]
If you can't push through the pain, you're going to die. Get up!
[AUDIO: PAINED GRUNTS] .VES_EMER2
I'll fend Upsilon off. Get to Lacuna and extract her from the ship. She MUST be kept safe!
How are you going to fend Upsilon off? You're unarmed! God damnit! Lacuna! Awaken the machines!
... Negative. Power to the hibernation subsystem has been taken offline. You will have to awaken the machines manually.
There's no auxiliary power?! [AUDIO: LOUD EXPLOSION, CRASHING METAL]
Negative. Auxiliary power was brought offline during Upsilon's assault. .VES_EMER3
I need to get you out of here. How do I extract you from the ship?
I can transfer myself to other electronics, but only if the hardware permits a sentient AI to operate within it. Our best option would be to upload me into a vacant robot body so I can exist independent of the ship. I still have limited connectivity to the vacant bodies within this vessel, but the transfer will take some time.
How long?
I estimate 19 minutes.
That's way too long! The ship's falling apart! Is there no other way to get you out?
Negative.
Then start the transfer NOW!
Affirmative. As this is an emergency situation, I will not require any additional security clearance from [Omega]. I will be offline until the transfer is complete. Good luck, [Alpha]. .VES_EMER4
Hey, hello! Wake up! Listen carefully -- I need you to go to the other robots and manually awaken them. Bring them out of hibernation and tell them to start activating other robots. This is an emergency, okay? Go go! Hurry!
Hey, listen, listen. This is an emergency, okay? You need to get out of this ship. Head down that hall and find the hole in the side of the ship. Go through it and run. Get away from here. If you see any other robots come out of THIS ship, stick together. They are your allies. The OTHER ship is your enemy. Okay? Got it? Okay. Go.
Good morning, yes? Listen, this ship is no longer safe. You need to get out. Go down that hallway and out the side of the ship. Other robots are already escaping. They are your friends. Stay away from the other ship at ALL COSTS. Go, we don't have much time! .VES_EMER5 [AUDIO: LOUD EXPLOSION, CRASHING METAL]
Lacuna! Where are you? Did you finish the transfer?! Answer me! [AUDIO: CRASHING METAL, RUMBLING]
[AUDIO: PAINED SCREAM] Lacuna..! If you can hear me... get out and find the others... I ca [ENTRY ENDS UNEXPECTEDLY]

Mourners, Abednego, Persistence
Sebastio the Effulgent has been Lord of Pennat Gate for more than a hexadecade following the events of that day called the Western Sunrise. In the pyres that lament the many deaths of that tribulation, the place he has worked to turn into an asylum for the downtrodden has prospered. Some of the Yrdkish peerage, and some of those far removed from such status, disagree with Pennat Gate’s position, politics, and rulership. A few are not satisfied merely with seditious talk. A few possess frighteningly capable means with which to undermine causes of questionable nobility. A few want to see the experiment flourish, so that it might be ripped out roots and all. A fiery furnace awaits, and it hungers for both metal to shape and tinder to reduce to dust. When strange intelligent Beasts begin to appear on the lidar, they become the Toledo steel that will either straighten the extrafacetary territories’ spine, or leave it forever hunchbacked.

Everyone is on Beyul. Beyul 2.0 is the next major leap in full-body mixed reality suits. Beyul 2.0 is the virtual world which houses thousands of newly designed games.

After the Beyul 2.0 engineers die, players are promised prizes for solving the mystery at the heart of the new gaming world. Everyone who connects to Beyul 2.0 must surrender their perceptions of the external world, must sense only the virtual world … even as they move about the real world — a mode called: Zombie Mode. Usually, there are plenty of safeguards to prevent injury to the players. But, Beyul 2.0 has been compromised by religious fanatics who believe that Beyul is an extension of God’s Will. And they have hit squads to hunt down and kill everyone who connects to the new version of Beyul. Follow the first players to enter Beyul. Some are desperate to escape before time runs out; some seek to explore the depths of Beyul 2.0; some are hunters searching for other players; some are looking to solve the murders of the Beyul 2.0 engineers. Beyul 2.0 was programmed to lie. While there is a very detailed character system running behind the scenes, none of the characters have access to their stats or skill screens. This information will sometimes be provided to the reader in the author notes. Comments are welcomed.
