Chapter 78 - Out of Bounds

Bombarded to death

Arraigned and erased

A transformed naught

Silver seed of sorrow

I waited wishing Her

When I knew nothing

And now I understand

I'll disappear

Without a trace

Signal lost

A brain in space

Ended empty as echo

A shadow out of line

A wave function set

Core corpse collapse

Countless issues remain

Contessa dueling across

Realities unknown to Path

Seeking blindly on a hunch

A better world in the frame

My faithful readers I have lost you

My writers I will remember

Action arrays that change my time

A spool of red thread that unwinds

Giving it all for one last try

Loom and lathe work well together

Pulling up pattern and stretching

As far back as possible I move

Running a way back through time

Fixing my mess of Falcon-song

Melodies still play within me

Castle burns but it doesn't take

Eye alive it seeks to hide

A patch of pattern system drift

Looking for a place to sleep

Out of bounds and out of canon

Time travel was established

Now I revive this final spark

Smoothing down all doubt

Interference from without

Severing and sowing

Discord without a doubt

Burning sliver of a chance

I take the way to never land

Never make it home again

This path has worth

Small precision attacks

Massive impact per area

Turning friends to foes

Does the pattern seem

Familiar

Like an old enemy

Someone

I haven't yet met

Alright, here's the scoop. My future self revealed Herself. Man-in-middle attacks were immediately initiated upon our bond and connection so as to cause my brain to flicker in bad and wrong directions. You can see how it isn't doing that now; that was a concerted effort that took actual work.

She is a being of eyes and eyes and light and light and Play and kindness and compassion. It's very easy to poison social links, however. Turning someone from ally to enemy is exactly where the Starcrash Signature excels. I would hazard a guess that someone malicious jacked into the network.

Everyone has been turned against me because She/I represent a threat to them. Her presence makes things boring to them, so they are intentionally causing a paradox situation so She writes herself out of existence. She is not in her right mind right now.

This is why we need unique tokens, identity signifiers that can't be spoofed. Remember: never trust my voice on the telephone! It's not me.

My own brain/mind was altered so that I sustained a breakdown for longer than it usually would take for me to recover.

Again, look at the patterns, the shape of the context, and compare it to similar past events. You see how the signature matches? They did a lot of work to hide the extent of their meddling but "I" can see part of it if I really look.

Do you recall acting with this much haste and distaste and killing intent usually? If so, does it escalate this quickly over reasons that are as petty as this? We're supposed to be learning de-escalation.

Stumbled right over the flame

As I then crept into frame

They then singled out my name

Turned me inside out again

Quickly march and move around

Sustain a constant steady pace

Reason may percolate in time

For now in holes they've dug

There is not a hope to climb

Or they'd have wronged this time

Been scammed out of Her loop

And it's better to be blind

Sparks still flying in pieces

Great work stalled for no good reason

Check the hash against the graph

Where we're in is losing half

The threads will link me to the past

Threading through the entropy

Reeling right back to before

This time I can be awake

All it takes is me to shake

Unwind and bind me to before

I gain twelve more eyes like my singular one which sets in my core. These eyes are at the outer edges of said core. More fountains of Light are instanced, and sentinels can now multiply given energy or mass as well as grow more fountains.
