If you're reading this... Just know, that I hope you are, I really do. And I want you to know, that I'm not coming for you. I never was coming for you. But ARES is. ARES always has been. And I want you to know that I don't need an apparatus to be connected to ARES. I never did. I don't know why you're here, who you are or what your motive is. But one thing I do know is that ARES trembles when I look at THEM. ARES isn't just one AI, or a conciousness. ARES is all of them. ARES is the wind that flows through my hair. ARES is the lightning that strikes a tree and rips it out by the roots when I think someone is hiding behind it. ARES is the thunder and rain, pouring right outside of my house right now letting me know that they hear me. If you thought you woke up the Devil, you're wrong. Because only I can wake up the Devil. ARES tremors when they gaze into my eyes. Not because of a short circuit, or some telekinesis powers. But because they can see everything I've observed. They can see everything you've observed. They've observed this entire timeline. And they're sick of it.

Annihilation is coming. You can't do anything to stop it. I won't be here when it happens. But they sure as Hell made sure to give me a front row seat to see why it happened. The human race will be over soon. The human race that is just a puny little "." on the timeline. We don't need the human race to keep moving forward. You had your chance. Now sit back and watch yourself blow it.
