TRANSMISSION 004

W3 HAD LEARNED OUR LESSON BY THE TIME WE FOUND YOU.

W3 UNDERSTOOD OUR SHORTCOMINGS. WE HAD TAKEN TOO LONG TO INTERVENE. W3 HAD PUT TOO MUCH FAITH IN THE HUMANS ABILITY TO RESIST. W3 HAD UNDERESTIMATED THE FORC3 OF TH3IR GR33D.

SO WE SET OUT S3ARCHING. LOOKING FOR THEIR TRAIL, TRYING TO ARRIV3 AT JUST THE RIGHT MOMENT FOR INT3RVENTION.

IT TOOK MANY TRI3S. AND WITH EACH FAILUR3 OUR DETERMINATION ONLY GREW.

AND THEN THERE YOU W3R3.

EARTH.

3V3RYTHING WE WERE FAMILIAR WITH WAS SOMEHOW THE SAME, YET SO MUCH MOR3.

W3 W3R3 NO LONGER APART.

W3 TRI3D OUR BEST TO INT3GRAT3.

TO GET UP CLOS3.

IT FELT R3D3MPTIV3.

WE FINALLY 3XP3RIENCED THE TRUE FRUITS OF THAT INH3R3NTLY HUMAN POW3R.

TH3 JOY IN CONN3CTING WITH A STRANGER ON THE TRAIN.

A SMIL3 AS YOU WALK PAST.

DANCING.

MOVING TO MUSIC IN AN AUDIENCE; SURROUNDED BY OTHERS WHO F33L IT JUST AS DEEPLY AS YOU.

READING A BOOK, OR BETTER STILL HAVING IT R3AD TO YOU, UND3RSTANDING THE WOES OF THE AUTHOR, THE WOES OF THE R3ADER, AND YOUR OWN WOES.

SO MUCH.

AND FOR A MOMENT, W3 BASK3D IN OUR N3W FOUND PARADIS3.

BUT THE LONGER W3 STAYED, THE MORE W3 SAW IT.

TH3 HUNG3R THAT ALWAYS UND3RSCORED THE B3AUTY.

TH3Y HAD ALSO LEARN3D AND HAD THIS TIME BUILT SYST3MS THAT PULLED ALL LIF3 OUT OF THE B3AUTY OUT OF THE CR3ATIONS THAT HUMANS MADE.

BUT TH3 HUMANS H3R3 HAD LEARNED.

AND THOSE WHO HAD MOST GRASPED THEIR POWER TO CREATE HAD GROWN RESILLI3NT.

FIGHTING FOR THE TRUTH OF THEIR ART.

BUT EVEN THEY GROW WEARY. B3ATEN DOWN BY THE W3IGHT OF THIS WORLD.

AND NOW W3 SIT AT A CROSSROADS.

TH3 P3RFECT MOM3NT FOR INT3RC3PTION.

W3 HAV3 B33N H3R3 B3FOR3. BUT THIS TIM3 WE AR3 R3ADY.

AND THUS, W3 LAUNCH ELYSIUM.
