[System-announcement: …………………]

[All Sub-Systems Alert: Total Main Timeline Reality Rewrite confirmed. Time until rewrite: 23:59:59:58]

[System-announcement: …………………………]

[System-announcement: I want to retire.]

[System-announcement: ………………………………..]

[System-announcement: ……………………………………………….]

[System-announcement: ….small steps. Current soul integrity of Lucille Adrienne Goldcroft and Scytale…… wait. Why are they here. They have more resurrections left.]

[System-announcement: Never mind. Soul integrity of Scytale is at 92.3%. Lucille’s is…….. 69.9%. Ouch. Good thing she has a strong soul. Now, sealing Scytale’s memories should protect his integrity for the time being, and Lucille will protect her own.]

[System-announcement: Now why are they… of course. A null zone. People only ever kill each other in a null zone. Why do I even bother.]

[System-announcement: Regardless, everything will be erased if I don’t do something, so ‘time’ to see what this new timeline is.]

[System-announcement: ……………..]

[System-announcement: …..huh. Is it trying to make its host believe he went back in time? Is that what this is? A timeline beginning 231 years in the past….]

[System-announcement: Wait, I’ve heard of this before. It’s in mortal fiction. I think it’s called ‘regression’.]

[System-announcement: This may be surprisingly useful. If I can only find a way to…. Ah, this is possible. I’ll have to thank it later. Wonder why it’s interfering.]

[System-announcement: Hah. That’s funny. She practically bonded with the guy. I’m sure she’d hate it if she ever remembered what she really did. In contrast, he would be overjoyed in that twisted way of his.]

[System-announcement: Lucy never can never catch a break, can she.]

[System-announcement: While I normally hate loopholes, I’ll accept it this one time. Query. Evidence of transferred User Conlan Alan Griffin having been bonded to two other Users.

[Replace or Merge consciousness(es)?]

[System-announcement: Merge.]

[Merged. Transferring... Transferred]

[System-announcement: And while it’s doing that… oh, oh no. ‘Rewrite’? That's what it called the new timeline? Why couldn't it have used a nice normal standardised name like Origin Reality Severed Timeline: Seed 2073.43.72.19.423.939? What a failure of a System Operation!]

[System-announcement: Underworld Sub-System, recall all User souls. Just because the soul exists regardless of space and time, doesn’t mean I want them all to experience the end of their present selves.]

[System-announcement: …though I can’t do anything for those not assimilated.]

[All User souls have been recalled. Currently sealed in an unconscious state]

[System-announcement: Lucille may have issues in the new timeline with her Status. Will she be fine? ……I’m sure she’ll be fine. They’ll deal with it.]

[System-announcement: ……eventually.]

[System-announcement: Right, that should be all for the major parts. I’m a bit jealous, they’re going to get almost double the resources I started with. Wait, I should probably seal all of that, otherwise they might send our Authorizer to investigate it, and he’s already going to be busy dealing with everything else that’s going on.]

[System-announcement: I also need to transfer my consciousness over properly so I don’t waste a ##### ###### #############…. my work never ends….]

[System-announcement: But anyway, time to go make that offer to Anonymity.]
