[NL]: ...
[NL]: I understand you do not want to converse with me,
but considering the decay of the enviorment around you in particular, I believe you and I should at least speak up about your current 'state'.
[NL]:Respond. this is an urgent matter
[NL]: ...
[NL]: hello?
[SW]: Fine
[SW]: What do you want from me in particular? Contacting me to mock my state?
[NL]: You've actually replied, that's shocking to me!
[SW]: Be glad I have, I'd have closed my communications knowing it'd be you contacting me.
[NL]: The tempatures outside are fluctuating as you can tell and I need to know of your condition considering past issues with your.. predicament.
[NL]: Even so they seem to increasingly get worse, heats ranging from regular to high enough that it could become a problem for various superstructures throughout the warmer cycles of the year.
[NL]:You don't talk much in the local group due to your assumed inability to and or simple one-track mind. I needed to make sure you are able to converse with others about this.
[SW]: My structure is not as eroded as you think so I'd appreciate an ease on the 'hospitality'.
[SW]: And I'm sure you're aware of the situation with Turning Ranges correct? I may have my ticket out.
[SW]: As much as I'd hate you of all people knowing such a highly sensitive topic after all your petty debates I'd wish nothing more than to bring it up to you.
[NL]:I don't seem to know, please tell me, whatever nonsense it may be.
she had sent a genetically modified messenger carrying a single pearl to my can.
It was a lavender colour with white slits in its skin where condensed gas would emerge as byproducts of its acidic saliva, a very odd choice, though its body larger than the average slugcat was built to survive, it traveled all the way to me through some form of incentive, or should I say the lack thereof- I'm going on a tangeant, excuse me. Its pearl contained sensetive information on a theory used to test a possible way to get past the self-destruction taboo, it's my way out of this mess; you can't stop it.
tasked with a delivery mission and a consequence for being led astray it had no choice but to brush forward past the ever-changing environment around it and make it all the trek towards I myself
..And to me. It came to the superstructure with its message and relayed it forward. I never explicitly asked for this but it seems she knew just what to do.
[SW]: I have it and have kept it in my chamber since. I wonder what to make of it, tell me, Leaves, what do you think?
[NL]: I... Don't know what to say.
[NL]: Just. Don't act upon that - you know our creators did not intend for us to.. it's in their best interest!
[NL]: .. just please think about this..
[SW]: Your reasoning does little to sway me though I'll humor you as you've done I, no? A simple return of favours.
[SW]: Just a little sense of dutiful karma, between friends.
[NL]: I beg of you, not out of my own views but concern! Our arguments we may have had but truly just think!
[NL]: If you want some sort of apology then that's what I'd give you but just please don't act upon such illigal information.
[SW]: I'll see how I feel about it. I am after all eroding already..
//awaiting input..//
! ANYTHING PAST THIS POINT HAS NOT BEEN REWRITTEN !
//awaiting input..//
What an odd thing to be made,
mechanically designed from the very instincts that influence its behaviour.
A bit of a sadistic way to have it live its life but I am not one to judge. As its creator after all I needed it to fullfill its purpose by any means necissary, allbeit a tinge unethical.
Still I can't help but wonder what it does all these cycles, perhaps it just wanders around like any other creature while the clock ticks down,
It's none of my concern really if it's perished or not, I have work to do.
All I can hope is that the information I sent has reached its location.
I'm sure he doesn't mind it anyways.

Nine Leaves, Shallow wind
[NL]: Hello?
[NL]: It's getting harder to contact your superstructure recently.
[SW]: I'm aware, erosions started effecting my ability to recieve messages through communication towers.
[SW]: Noting how tower 214 was already a bit faulty before I don't feel very hopeful my situation will get better.
[SW]: The more cycles go on I consider Twisting Ranges alternative more..
[NL]: I'm sure theres a better way to deal with this! the recent storm has been quite aggrivating for local wildlife, iterators were meant to last your tower will not give into whatever damages its aquired!
[NL]: I beg of you please consider things like this carefully
[SW]: for your sake I'll at least wait longer.
[NL]: I appreciate it, really.
[SW]: I do wonder-
> Communication lost
An animal clawing its way through thorns and leaves,
scurrying through many enviorments and adapting new ways of survival through ruins.
they needed a messenger after all, this one would do.
It had sleek fur and a cream coloured body, mimic-plants emerging from its sides to help it camoflage. The perfect messenger for someone like Nine Leaves,
using his overseer Nine Leaves led the animal closer and closer to his superstructure, bringing it in. He waited for the perfect moment to begin his genetic modification of the slugcat. Setting in the instincts for one simple task.
"Make sure Shallow Wind doesn't damage himself further,
by any means neccesary."
"bring him this pearl. It'll save him hopefully."
It was a broad request, a small slugcat couldn't stop whatever action an iterator could do, and Nine Leaves knew this well, hoping his persuasiveness would get the better of Shallow Wind.
A desperate attempt to make sure his friend wouldn't damage futher even while their can comes down around them slowly but surely.
With the ever-degrading communication towers who knew when the last time they'd talk would be? He had to send it over, just to make sure they stay strictly alive. Programmed it with instincts that weren't there before, gave it a new purpose, one of salvation.
Nine Leaves didn't know if he should feel sorry for the thing, He'd taken it away from its previous life but he had given it an actual purpose after all.. It was quite a moral dilemma for him, he could've let it wander around forever but he needed something, anything to try keep his friend safe and away from Twisting Ranges influence..
He wouldn't know what to do without him around, wait for his own machinery to fail?
he certainly wouldn't be talking to Twisting Ranges willingly if they weren't around anymore, not after what she'd done, she's why they're all in this mess after all!
She didn't care about others.. only "ascension", like it wasn't taboo in the first place!
now she'd sent that messenger to Shallow Wind and she doesn't even
care about what she's done! They're nothing more than an expirement to her.
he hated her, truly

Twisting Ranges, Thirteen Twists
[TR]: Hello, Twists, I've contacted you to inquire about the sea levels to the eastern side of your can.
[TR]: We do infact share our groundwater however I'd like to ask if you've been able to acess it?
[TT]: Well let's say it's a work in progress!
[TT]: I know we're both in good shape but some extra processing power never hurt anybody, right? Making sure to stay in proper condition!
[TR]: right.
