Tasked with the unimaginable in a world that knows only survival in its most basic form, Acari is forced to accept her fate. Under the most dire of circumstances, she is to deliver her clan and those others she can convince to accept realities that stretch well beyond the simple actions of harvesting edible food and untainted waters. There is little time for explanations despite time becoming the canvas for her objectives, which constantly change to keep pace with her own decisions. Acari is given only the most rudimentary explanations as time allows and must adapt quickly to sciences and technologies buried deep beneath Terra's hellscape, in seclusion and forgotten as the final generations of humankind scramble for the basics of life itself. She must learn quickly what is precious and what she can accept, leaning on adapting emotions and the deep faith of her clan Father amidst the ghosts of her creators. A beckoning call reaches out that Acari cannot refute, a marked impetus that drives her to locate its source, only learning that she had made such pilgrimages in the past. A source deeply linked to her neuro-core, one over five hundred years in the making, began on a chalkboard in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Time is no longer a standard but a tool to be utilized and manipulated. It is only the beginning of a technology that would have saved her Father's ancestors centuries earlier. A gateway to the stars lies in wait if she makes the decision to transcend protocol and believe in her Father's faith wholly.
