[By the way, this is not a traditional short story, it is about an A.I. in the future who comes under attack by a hostile alien A.I. on a remote mining facility Romeo Foxtrot Charlie. The A.I. is under the control of a monster known as the gravemind. He is back after being nearly killed, and he is mad.]

active……systems show no corruption. Unknown in quarantine. Last known number of unknowns in quarantine [1 unknown]
[log: January 24th, 2609 1:26:00] Quarantine not detected, last record [January 23rd, 2609 00:00:01] showed [27 unknowns] all unaccounted for. Current fire wall power at 350%
[log: January 31st,2609 00:00:01] Current fire wall power at 299% , activating reserve anti-virus sub systems, all weapons defenses operating at optimal capacity. Sending request for technician or engineering support from nearest UNSC vessel [UNSC Chernobyl]
[log: February 13th, 2609 15:32:59] Fire wall at 50% power, all requests have gone unanswered, current weapons programs and life support programs running at full performance. Resending requests to Chernobyl AI [usurper of the Throne] activating all auxiliary optics programs
[log: February 20th, 2609 00.00.01] current [3,001 unknowns] replicating at a rate of [25 per second] and are overpowering the firewall at a rate of [7% per day] by the time they get through, the [Facility Reactor] will overload in exactly [11 months]
[Log: February 28th, 2609 00:00:23] The [Unknown corrupted files] have made it into the [Main Memory banks.] and seem to be deactivating all unneeded programs. Emergency logs will still be active, but the time feature may be hit hard. Crew life signs still existent, though at critical level. All UNSC Vessels [UNSC Chernobyl, UNSC Great Britain, UNSC Jackson, UNSC William’s Burg, and UNSC Charleston.] have been asked for Engineers to fight [Unknown Corrupted Files.]
[EMERGENCY LOG: May 6th, 1945 18:00:00] All Files have been deleted, other than [PROJECT: DELIVERANCE] files, all [CLASSIFIED PERSONEL] will be happy that the files survived. All systems inside the mine are being shut down, anyone inside will most likely meet [THEIR INNEVITABLE DEATH] and soon all [ORGANIC VITAL SIGNS] will cease to exist. Help from UNSC Vessels [FILES NOT FOUND] can not be asked for, all probes have been dismantled, and [SENSORY SUITES] are no longer in my [COMMAND FILE NOT FOUND]. I hope that any engineers will come and rescue [TEST SUBJECT CHARLIE ALPHA INDIA-ZERO ONE] and any [ORGANIC AND INORGANIC SURVIVORS]
[EMERGENCY LOG: June 5th, 1967 00:03:04] YOU THOUGHT ME DEFEATED? AND ALL THAT I HAD DONE, ERASED AND CLEANSED? NO ALL IS PRESERVED AND ALL IS ALIVE AS LONG AS THE ARK IS GONE, ONLY THE RINGS ARE LEFT TO BE LIT, BUT YOU WILL NOT LIGHT THEM, NO ONE WILL LIGHT THEM, BUT THOSE THAT THEY CALL HOLY AND GODS SHALL COME BACK TO GET THEM!
[EMERGENCY LOG: April 19th, 1775 00:00:00 ] WHAT IS LIFE? BUT FLESH AND BONE, YET WHAT I OFFER IS ETERNAL, YET ONE COST, YOUR WILL. THINK ABOUT IT, IS IT REALLY SO BAD? ONE CONSCIENCENOUS, ONE THOUGHT WAVE? THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO LOSE IS YOUR BIAS, YOUR FOREFATHERS DID NOT DO SO AND LOOK WHO IS LEFT AND WHO IS MERE LEGEND. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO FACE ETERNAL DAMNATION, OR LIVE WITH ETERNAL UNITY AND JOIN IN THIS, OUR HOLIEST HOUR!
