“Then there’s no time to waste. We can commence right away.”, I said to Mr. Coole Aidenson, chief executive officer of Eevves Corporation. He smiled briefly, a smile of utmost conviction. Just what I’m feeling at the current moment. “Affirmative, ma’am. I’m sure you have studied the WARP manual sent to you five days ago, just around the time we started the trial ops and given your already remarkable foundations in WASP format, the new maneuvers have a solid base to work upon. Since the only way to gain real field experience in the WARP format is to indulge in one, and because that never happened before, you should be prepared just as much as I am as a Regulator. But I have complete faith in us… Just a little briefing for keeping up with the procedure: After we install the WARPee software into our systems… Alright, I have two versions with me that are tuned to both of our particular physiocybernetic properties, standalone and with regards to one another, and everything else that’s relevant and after the installation, everything should be optimally operational out of the box and the software itself will automatically notify ourselves of any potential imperfection in the unlikely case of that happening. We only have these two tuned versions of Regulator-oriented WARPee developed from the prototype. Our assistants currently on standby at Eevves HQ have the Sentinel versions of WARPee and they are awaiting our signal to start. So… the theoretical studies on WARPee tells us that we might experience ego death of sorts while approaching the Prometheus-Eox Bridge. Moreover, we might have irregular neuroelectronic transmutions and interlockings with the Immortal Fathers. But second-generation God AIs like The Eox are developed based on this very foundation of interlocking with them and the principle works precisely because Prometheus has crossfeeding from Olympus that mediates a drastically safer interfacing than what’s possible with the first-generation Gods like The Oracle. The Sentinels in WARP exist in the same space but they are not exposed to the unpredictable conditions that the Regulators in the Bridge can be subjected to. Oh, and I forgot to mention that the Regulator WARPee, mine and yours, have seperate comms channel exclusive from the Sentinel WARPees to cut out unnecessary signal distortions. This also means that everything that the Sentinels do here, from continuous analyses and potential mayday interventions, are stictly on a read-only basis. Hence we have the enormous task of firstly, maintaining our dual-link integrity, secondly, maintaining the greater-link integrity among Prometheus, The Eox and the Immortal Fathers, and then pass our discoveries unto the Sentinels successfully. Failing at just either of the three would botch the operation… Oh, and of course, I have total faith… No, conviction in you and myself but failures can cause unpredictable changes on the physiocybernetic properties of the Regulators, and to a much lesser degree, the Sentinels but of course, every great task has risks at stake. With the briefing complete, I await your final authorisation and we can commence the operation immediately after.”, Aidenson finished, with his smile veering towards a gentler and subtler territory afterwards. From the WARP format documents, I already had known about all these and more but the redundant yet obligatory briefing only affected me with the tame restlessness that one feels at sluggish official processes than any notably retardant anxiety. More than me and Aidenson as Regulators, there are greater, far greater stakes put on unknown trenches in the big picture… The excitement from the contact with the unknown grows restless within me with every delay we make. It’s… palpable…
