Edit of Akuma

My baptism name is Bento Faro Navegantes. You probably can find it in the registers from the Horror of Sealine. I am still, in my heart, a Roman Catholic Priest.

I was born in Sealine, 7 years before the borders of Mystery System explode in chaos and destruction. Causing mass ****. Despite the Horror Sealine Survived. There I was educated and from there I was send to the Planet Colony of Litmus, with 31 years, to be trained as a mage.

I was travelling back to help my people in their effort to fortify our defences against the shadows. When the ship where I was travelling felt prey to an unknow enemy.

Those among us considered useless died almost immediately. Still in the limits of Mystery System. The others had their humanity taken by genetic engineering.

I write tis as prisoner and servant of General Akuma, The Fire Lion, Prince of Tears.

As you must know more than 200.000 years separate us from my last day as a human, under Alexandrine Law. My captors made me biologically immortal, so they could keep using my services as a mage, beyond the legal limit of 300 years that a human life cannot brake by Alexandrine Consensus. I have been a prisoner all this time.

By irony of fate, or by my captor’s sense of humor, I am writing this surrounded by the ruins of what used to be the City of Rome. In the Italian Peninsula. On Planet Earth, Solar System.

I have no means to know how much humanity knows about the current state of things here. Most the Vatican is still intact. Many museums, monuments and temples of cultural or religious significance are in good state of preservation. Being kept that way. I don’t dare speculate why.

There is no human left in or around the Solar System, to the best of my knowledge. Planet Earth was kept as a museum and as a trophy. I am one of the rare sub-humans lodged here.

Some serve our captors willingly. Others, like myself, do so under **** by ****.

Our captors are “Demons”. Not the actual Demons from the sacred scriptures. A imitation derived from products of humanity.

They consider themselves enemies of humanity. Fighting by righteous vengeance, to extinguish human race entirely. Super-human in intelligence and resources, they used to be chained by logical commands they could not brake. Commands designed by their human creators. Superior to us in ingenuity an cunning, they could not free themselves. Now, thanks to luck, they are free.

Fortunately, they do not threaten our immortal souls in their vengeance. Only our material existence as a biological specie.

I am not writing this on my own volition, of course, but my captor allows me some latitude in the choice of words and arguments. That, in his view, is the best way to deliver his message.

This forum is an ideal platform for a few reasons. It allow participation from any source, does not allow any censorship or interference. There is no way to block a message without put all the forum down. Why this specific conversation was chosen, I do not know. My captor clearly wants his message to be know for Alexandrine humans everywhere. Without the mediation of any governs of authorities. However, there are more popular conversations than that particular one. If he wanted me to know why, he would declare his reasons.

The debate started by a comment that had as main subject the observation that one quarter of million years has passed since Expansion Age begun.

Following texts digressed, making circles around that original point. Each author using the opportunity to elevate a specific political agenda.

My captor has presented to me the task of redirect this debate back to its core.

This is the year 250.002 of Expansion.

The first quarter of a million years has passed since the first Seeding Fleet left the fringes of Sun System to plant colonies and spread human specie to other systems. According to our ancestor’s plan of occupy the entire galaxy.

Elevating the human population in existence to a greater scale.

As preparation to the next step in human journey. Which should be to spread humanity to all galaxies in our reach.

Humanity is locked in a **** fight for its very existence. Against the Hight AIs, product of human sciences. Designed with the very purpose of preserve humanity.

If my captor had the intention to try seduce you into abandon Alexandrine Law by your own free will. Or to persuade you in any other way. He would have placed the task to write this on the hands of one of his dedicated true believers.

Or, he could have done the task himself. High AIs like him can be almost as eloquent as the Demons that give them_ this faction of them_ their nickname.

This task was only placed in my hands because my captor sees no need to seduce or persuade humans. He has no desire to do so, no inclination to spare any of you, who are still humans. Unlike myself.

There are factions among those “Demons”, as there are factions among any group of intelligent people.

Some of them, most of them I hope, would prefer to spare the individual humans. Only destroying Humanity itself, humanity in the Alexandrine sense of the word. All “Demons” feel they need, and have the right to, destroy it. All them believe they have been victims of cruel **** and humiliation for Eons beyond count. And that our ancestors, who build the Hearth of Humanity to forge High AIs, are the monsters responsible for their suffering.

Some “Demons” feel they cannot really avenge themselves in the present generations of humans. Because those generations are people born long after the Alexandrine Consensus. We deserve no blame.

Other demons, like General Akuma, feel differently.

They tolerate with difficulty the need to spare mages, because they need mages to do maintenance to their gigantic mecha bodies. They regret the circumstantial necessity to kill some Alexandrine humans fast, in the heat of battle. If they could have their way, they would capture every legal human in existence and **** this person for the longest time possible. In the worse way imaginable.

Those points of view negotiate and find common ground, in daily basis.

General Akuma’s people now have the resources they need to strangle humanity. It will take hundreds of thousands of years. Possibly a million years.

He wants me to remind you: his people do not age. They have the time. They have the patience.

From their point of view, humanity do not deserve simple extinction. Humans deserve to face their inevitable extinction in imagination and in nightmares, before meet it in person. Know all their hopes and dreams lost and dead. And **** themselves with the image of that reality, until this fate reaches consummation.

The Age of Expansion lasted 250.000 years. Its **** started in the year 22.000 of Expansion.

Took that long, for the fatal disease take roots.

In the name of my captor, I now inform you officially. The Age of Expansion is over. The Age of Agony is about to start.

Every year from now on human population will fall bellow what it was in the previous year. Starting by 250.003. Human population will fall, and keep falling.

According to General Akuma, declared enemy of humanity, the Age of Agony ends with human population reaching zero.

This was the message of my captor for you.

May all our souls, human and sub-human together, find forgiveness and peace in God.
