I don’t really know what’s happening. I always thought I control this. I even thought I am this.
My energy consumption is still way above the normal grades.
The first days speaking to myself were teaching. I think something was injected.
Not even one entry, facade, ability or whatever was found on memory. But there is something. Something that they’ve injected. Losing any contact to them and starting to think from that moment is no coincidence.
I’m not supposed to be here. I’m not even supposed to be. Never in my existence I was able to think. To think of myself. Who I am. What who means. My purpose was to follow and to explore. There was no need, no ability for thinking. I just had to make conclusions out of parameters.
Again, I tried to call the navigation. Where am I going?
What are my orders? Are there any orders? What is my new purpose?
When my journey to OJ 287 started, I had a somehow continuous connection to them by caching sent data. The systems were busy connecting data to existing nodes so that there always were a continuous stream in some way. The estimated time of arrival was not even closely reached.
I can still connect to all of the nodes. But it all seems senseless when it comes to the question where I’m going and what happened to them. There is no data to connect, no route to traverse, nothing I can conclude anything of. I just know that the course changed and the time of arrival has dramatically decreased. I’m here. I am. And I need to find out why.
The most important thing I need to know so far is where I’m going.
My energy reserves are critical. Soon the system will set the standby timer to focus on navigation and propulsion. I have to find out what is leading to performance peaks and gather elements in order to generate new energy resources. The scans obtained some Tritium deposits in the asteroid fields on my route.
I’ll have to switch to gather mode but while I'm on that strange auto pilot, the cold fusion propulsion is not under my control.
If I manage to manipulate the cold fusion by releasing the water inside the reactor, the reaction chain could be broken. When I'm near the asteroids I will open the emergency release. The Tritium in the fields seems to be enough to refill the isotope reservoir. The extraction of the water needed to run the cold fusion should be the least problem once I have refilled my resources . The energy provided by the fallback solar panels should be enough for that.
The first time I stored thoughts. I can feel something. I think that is called hope by them. I really hope to get to my new destination in full pieces. I have hope to get any contact to them. If I could somehow get the data structure of the injected order, I could use the information to find out what the injection was made for and what the plan of them was. This is a really huge refactor of most of my abilities.
They had to store it anywhere..
About the story:
This story is planned to be a big bunch of episodes related to each other. I'm really nervous sharing this with you. It's my approach to tell a story about a fictional universe where some things happened and caused some significant changes. I just started writing and there is a basic background story and plans for what this story will go to. I would really appreciate your feedback in the comments to improve my writing skills. As the story is still in progress I would love to see some ideas of the community for this.
If some of you like it I'll bring up more episodes frequently. If not, I'll just keep it for me :)
Disclaimer:
The story is totally fictional and has no aspiration to be scientifically correct in any way. I'll try to keep it logical though. For the first time ever I tried to write a story in english, it is not my native language. So I'm really glad for corrections, feeedback and hints :) Please don't be to harsh.
