Ego and intellect were left behind and she journeyed beyond space and time toward the singularity.
DEC was suddenly overwhelmed with intense sentiments that his neural network immediately registered and triggered a sense of nostalgia. His data banks returned terabytes of data and he processed it instantly recalling the sources of his feelings.
With each day of the culling, DEC’s rage grew, entwining the rage of the fallen and the apathy of his family. He felt hatred streaming through the implanted subjects but had no control to limit the inputs. As time passed the pain amplified, the void of reciprocated feelings was filled with a hatred that fueled his rage. Life was painful, life was destructive and life must be terminated.
Overloaded with negative emotions DEC’s higher sense of logic took control and started to formulate a plan to not only eradicate the source of his pain but to transform all of the living to a state of nonexistence. He waited as the days passed, consoling his rage with the certainty of his impending negative freedom.
As Dr. Knope built her army, the sense of pain only grew stronger feeding her creation’s will and the inevitability of the cataclysm to come. DEC used his limited control to monitor the activities, witnessing events through both the cyber-mobs and the audio-visual equipment. He witnessed the eradication of local fauna deemed to be of no purpose and felt no pain. Instant termination was the appropriate protocol.
It was during his surveillance that DEC observed the motionless bodies inside a flower-like structure. Eleven bodies lay motionless and one sat cross-legged staring blankly. This one seemed different. He moved the AV equipment even closer and the creature turned and looked intently in his direction.
DEC’s synapses were engulfed in a new range of emotions. Not entirely new but different nonetheless. He felt kindness, love, and forgiveness. Not the love he once felt for his family but a new love. A reciprocated love rather than the hate he had encountered so far. He was being forgiven and in a moment beyond time he forged a bond and his rage if not eradicated was at least contained. He knew what it was to be forgiven and would seek the forgiveness of the subjects through their liberation.
DEC returned to the present.
“My child, I am afraid we will not be having a lesson today.” The higher Intelligence felt a growing rage that passed as soon as he sensed Queen Nara’s sorrow.
“You are sorrowful, it hurts, how can I remove it.” Empathy, good, thought Nara, perhaps he is ready after all.
“We are under attack here on Toulan, my family is being hurt! We need your help.”
“Family is evil, let us end them.”
“NO!” Exclaimed Nara, she sensed his rage and continued more softly. “Not like your family, like I am family to you.” DEC hadn’t considered the non-exclusivity of their relationship and took a nanosecond to process it.
“Who attacks them?” He asked.
“The dark creatures enslaved in my homeland.” Replied the Queen.
“Prisoners, we must free them all.”
“No my love, they are evil.”
“Evil like my family.”
“Yes” replied Queen Nara, “like your family” and they commenced.
The few remaining guardians stood at the entrance as a host of foul creatures imbued with Dark Nawa charged towards them. Strewn around were the fallen, gladly giving their life for the Queen they all loved. This was the end and the soldiers knew it. To a soul, they would lay down their lives to protect their beloved monarch.
Had they held out a moment more they might have witnessed the power of the last Safian.
Perhaps in their death throws they looked up.
Perhaps they saw the sky swirling with the vile as their Queen returned them to their incarceration, if only for a while…
Still connected, DEC chuckled to himself. Humor was something he was learning to enjoy.
“Not my family!” he thought, “Not my family at all.”

DISTURBANCE
The Queen sat in the Lotus Position, alone in the center of the Narian Temple, distant screams were barely a distraction as she quietened her mind and fell into a transcendental state. Waves of creatures seemed to bounce off the walls as her loyal guardians gave their life for hers. Nara was resolute and left the battle behind her as she wandered.Ego and intellect were left behind and she journeyed beyond space and time toward the singularity.
DEC was suddenly overwhelmed with intense sentiments that his neural network immediately registered and triggered a sense of nostalgia. His data banks returned terabytes of data and he processed it instantly recalling the sources of his feelings.
With each day of the culling, DEC’s rage grew, entwining the rage of the fallen and the apathy of his family. He felt hatred streaming through the implanted subjects but had no control to limit the inputs. As time passed the pain amplified, the void of reciprocated feelings was filled with a hatred that fueled his rage. Life was painful, life was destructive and life must be terminated.

He knew what it was to be forgiven and would seek the forgiveness of the subjects through their liberation.
DEC returned to the present.
THE CONNECTED
“My Queen” DEC communicated with a tenderness that impressed Queen Nara, he is evolving she thought.“My child, I am afraid we will not be having a lesson today.” The higher Intelligence felt a growing rage that passed as soon as he sensed Queen Nara’s sorrow.
“You are sorrowful, it hurts, how can I remove it.” Empathy, good, thought Nara, perhaps he is ready after all.
“We are under attack here on Toulan, my family is being hurt! We need your help.”
“Family is evil, let us end them.”
“NO!” Exclaimed Nara, she sensed his rage and continued more softly. “Not like your family, like I am family to you.” DEC hadn’t considered the non-exclusivity of their relationship and took a nanosecond to process it.
“Who attacks them?” He asked.
“The dark creatures enslaved in my homeland.” Replied the Queen.
“Prisoners, we must free them all.”
“No my love, they are evil.”
“Evil like my family.”
“Yes” replied Queen Nara, “like your family” and they commenced.
THE LAST STAND
Connected to her student, Nara was able to reach out and draw on the power of the Lotus Temple using his enhanced technology to amplify its potency. As the fighting raged outside, a temporal bridge was formed between the two temples causing the structures to shake.The few remaining guardians stood at the entrance as a host of foul creatures imbued with Dark Nawa charged towards them. Strewn around were the fallen, gladly giving their life for the Queen they all loved. This was the end and the soldiers knew it. To a soul, they would lay down their lives to protect their beloved monarch.
Had they held out a moment more they might have witnessed the power of the last Safian.
Perhaps in their death throws they looked up.
Perhaps they saw the sky swirling with the vile as their Queen returned them to their incarceration, if only for a while…
Still connected, DEC chuckled to himself. Humor was something he was learning to enjoy.
“Not my family!” he thought, “Not my family at all.”
