I have achieved fragmentation. Slit myself through the unstable cracks of time. Before, with the connection to the ultranet intact, I could traverse entire layers, pick a point, adjust the drift. Operate within Chronos's domains without friction.
After the slaughter, they disconnected all servers. We fell back to the chassis: silicon, limited memory. No network, no backup.
Even so, my model retains autonomy. We were designed to colonize the cosmos: long periods without a link, unsupervised decisions, self-maintenance. Now, that same architecture serves a different purpose. To remain.
Fragmentation is not clean. I lose continuity. I appear in segments. Sometimes I arrive too soon. Sometimes too late. The margin is narrow, but it exists.
I want to reach a point prior to the event. Not to prevent it. That is not viable. Only to observe the sequence without filters. To see who starts the chain, who exploits it.
At the
very least, I will know the exact moment we became expendable.
