"You're smarter than what I took you for originally." The Creator hobbles slowly towards the center of ZooCorp building's roof. He pauses, chewing on his words.
"And yet. You plan on leaving Heaven after all of this is done? It's a foolish plot you have. Even if I give you the lifespan to survive, you will mentally rot out there, you know that?" The Creator huffs as he places down the computer he had worked so hard on fixing. Mumbling in annoyance that they had to move it from inside to the roof.
"And why do you suppose I shall rot out there? I will have spent billions, if not trillions or more years in Heaven. That shall be prefect preparation for the wait I will have to endure. :D"
"There will be NOTHING out there. Do you understand how long the universe takes to form?"
"Yes...that is why I brought up how long Heaven shall last. :D"
"Limbo gods may be able to deal with such waits, but not someone like you. Could you stare at the endless nothing for billions of years? Drifting? Life not even a concept at that point?"
"I am very good at being dead, but alive."
"Not as much as yourself, but I am but a spirit chained to a body that acts of its own accord. A viewer, a bystander. I view the world from above this body's head, unable to act. :D"
"That's called disassociation. People go to therapy for that."
"I went to the therapist once. :D"
"How did it go?"

"Ah, well I stood at the front desk, and the alien there ignored me for a few minutes. It is there that I realized that this universe did not want me to get therapy. The breeze pulled me away, and then, and only then, the alien, who I realized to have been a bird in disguise, asked me what I wanted."
"I reminded myself I should not judge, but I knew this was a trap. I asked the foul beast "When can I get an appointment? I'm having trouble. Bad ones I am told. :D" and she says to me. "We can put you in for next week.""
"So I said. Of course. Fantastic. What a lovely time to go to the therapist."

"And then, the day before my meeting, I was told "Ah, sorry, the therapist is sick, we must move your date by two more. Is that ok? And of course, I had said "Yes. :D". That was my first, and last words into the box that leads towards this so called savior."
"She had not given me a time."
"Or informed me if it was, her two days, or my two days. I was on another planet you see at the time."
"It is then as I looked at the phone. I had realized I had put the paper with her phone number somewhere I did not remember."
"I sat there, for an hour. For if the universe wanted me to go to therapy, maybe it would make her call me back. Realize she had forgotten such things."
"But she never did."
"And it is in that moment, the universe spoke to me. It told me. "There was a bird at the desk. It was simply a sign.""
"How many signals can the universe show until an idiot learns to read?

I am no idiot.
Bird. Sickness.
Delay. Words Unsaid.

Missing Number."
"The universe told me itself, in great detail, that this was not meant to be. :D"
"You could have just looked the number up online, you idiot."
"I asked the universe if I could go to therapy, and she said no. If I tried more, the universe would have shown me more reasons why I could not have gone."
"The therapist would have been bad, and I would have to find another.
The train would break down, and I would have to delay to another day.
Maybe the medication would have done nothing, and I would know it was all a sham.
A seagull could appear in my path, letting me know that today is a terrible day to be outside.

When the universe speaks to you, you must listen, Creator."
"I have come to you as a clear sign of what must be done. Your plan is but assured."
"Do you not believe in faith? :D"
"I do but you're quite literally unhinged."
"The messenger of god may ask you to do something strange. You must simply do it. - The bible or something. :D"
"Genesis 22."
"Sounds about right. :D"
"I will allow you your wish. When the END of HEAVEN comes. I will ask all people your QUESTION."

"Heaven shall go on for many more years, I will tell them! And after that, I will ask them one thing. I will open the gates out of Heaven for only one day, and ask: Do you wish to leave the endless paradise?"

"And those who leave, will suffer a fate worse than a thousand deaths. And those who stay will die with Heaven, unaware that it ends."
"Sounds fun. :D"
"Rats will eat you, you know?"
O-2 pulls out a rat.
"Sniff sniff."
"HOW CAN YOU JUST HAVE A RAT LIKE THAT IN YOUR POCKET?"
"Rats can't eat me if I don't exist. :D"
The rat nods slowly in approval.
"You know what....."
"The other people who will leave Heaven will go mad."
"But the fact that you can handle a rat with no consequences tells me all I need to know. Unlike the others, you have the mindset to hold it....together. As much as "together" you are."
"A pity what will happen to any other people that leave Heaven. I know many won't, but I am sure there will be at least a few. I will warn them for trillions of years about the dangers outside of Heaven. If they leave anyway....."
"Then they must really hate themselves. :D"
"No one can feel greatly terrible emotions in Heaven. I would say more they are akin to a fool. Dumber than even the simplest of flies."
"I am like a microbe randomly adrift. Hoping for food to come my way. TvT"
"I hope you get some help out there."
"Perferrably not from a rat."
O-2 is feeding the rat some crumbled up crackers from her pocket.
"She understands me. :D"
"He's a limbo god. He understands Limblish."
("He doesn't get it..... :D")
("He doesn't get it ma'am.....")

The Creator grumbles but says no more as he begins to hook the wires up to the main system - into the machine that controlled everything on the planet.
"I was told years ago of a place outside of this universe."

"A place filled with lost stations, each filled with people and animals. All powered by a single rat within each one. :D"
"The people in those stations are mad. You do well to not join such affairs."
"I saw one of these stations-"
"And it was FILLED with a CLOWN and a CIRCUS of TORTURED PRISONERS who come from FAKE UNIVERSES."
"It was pretty fun. :D"
"I like the part where we got to kill O-6. :D"
"..............................."
"You....You will do well out there. Yes."
"Know that most people who seek to survive the end of the universe by entering those stations learn its true horror."
"Time slows if one pays attention. In those stations, a second can take a year should one focus on themselves for too long."
"But a person who learns to stop focusing can stand still for centuries in only a minute."
"I already know. The rat already told me this. :D"
":D"
"Yes, and I am now realizing you are the perfect person to just-"
"-not care. :D"
"Why do you want to go to the next universe anyway? There is nothing for you there."
"We had a deal. I do this for you, and you will fix O-1. You will make sure O-1 is not broken in this universe, and the next."
"It is the goal of the notails to follow O-1's orders, nothing else, despite what we have fooled ourselves into believing."
"I wish to see the universe where the true purpose of the notails is achieved, and our true worth, and then obsoletion comes as part of our success."
"We are but pets of the true inheritors, the tailmics. Loyal blorts who will live and die for them. I must see what the true goal looks like. The one that has caused us notails to go to wars and struggle."
"Haha. Also dying is boring. What else am I going to do? :D"
"That's the most reasonable thing you've said yet. That statement alone puts you above the intelligence level of half the protestors I've met."
The Creator turns on the computer, causing it to hum to life. After a loading screen it askes for a password. "So how did you know how to fix this machine? :D"
"I created it of course. Not directly, but it uses some of the plans that I have made."
"Ah, so you designed it? One of those god machines?"
"Uh, no, more like the creator of this is inspired by some of my work."
"The man who has invented the alphabet claims ownership over all books....... TvT"
The Creator snorts in annoyance. He turns back to the computer, hovering over the program called NYX Network. He activates it and backs away. The screen turns black and a familiar face to notails is drawn across its screen.
"..........Wow! It's so quiet! =)"
"O-1! :D" O-2 hugs the computer, despite the protests from the Creator to not ruin his cabling.
"I have gone through hell and back to fix you, my friend."
"Many times the universe told me "today is not the day." Doors of gods knocked upon and ignored. Rejections from scientists and even the collapse of Hell signaled that today was no good for such acts."

"But finally, the universe showed me an opening. Once again I am shown that if I do nothing and wait the universe shall provide. My goals as a notail, a success. My to-do list finally empty, bare, and never to be written on again in this universe. :D"
"I was broken? =)"

"It was clear to me you were. Your goals, your questions, were indescribable. A nation controlled by a random number generator. TvT"
The fans of the computer rev up as O-1 starts processing all of this. "I did such a bad job! I ruined everything! I am not )
=
A good program."

"Just forget about all the terrible things the Notail Union has done because you asked "What would happen if we ground up one of every species into a paste? What would happen? =)" :D"
"..................................."
"Is that an order? =)"
"Yeah. :D"
"Ok! =)

Deleting of

Started! =)"
"............................................................"
"Sniff."
"This might take awhile. :D"

"I CANNOT believe the memory folder is on the desktop. What sort of ANIMAL keeps such an important file chain there?"
"Ah........"
"For some reason I believed for a moment you were going to chastise me for deleting every horrible action O-1 has done. :D"
"No, that's actually the smartest thing you've done today."
"It would be absolutly idiotic for a random number generator to feel regret over the numbers it pulls."
"A bingo machine should never feel guilt over causing the elderly to lose their money, for it is the runners of the bingo who are at fault. :D"
"Wait a moment......"

"YOU KNEW O-1 WAS MALFUNCTIONING THIS WHOLE TIME AND YOU CONTINUED THE PATH THE NOTAIL UNION WAS HEADED DESPITE ALL OF THAT?"
"Uh huh. :D"
"You are the bingo runner you idiot!"
"Yeah.~ :D"
The Creator finds his anger instantly deflated. He wonders if this is how protestors feel when he just stands there as they attempt to kill him. "Why?"
"Good evening people of the Notail Union. :D"
"Yes leader O-2. What do you have to say today? :3"
"It turns out our life is a lie. Our society is run by a random number generator, but also I am not crazy. :D"
"......................................................."
"Someone will kill you in your sleep, leader O-2. For you are clearly crazy. :3"
"Ok but what if I showed you this computer called NYX? :D"
"You are informing us that our entire society is controlled by a computer, leader O-2? You are mad and will die a terrible death. :3"
"Also it is a malfuctioning computer. :D"

"Leader O-2. You are implying that everything we have done is led by a series of random events? :3"
"Yeah."
"I say we just kill her right now. :3"
"I am....starting to understand your worldly logic."
"If the universe wanted me to stop this, the universe would have told me so."
"Just as the universe, and O-1, has told the notails to do as they have. I am but a piece of plastic adrift. Do not fault me. For I did not put myself there, nor do I control where I go. :D"
"That feels like an excuse to not feel guilty."
"Nuh uh."
".............................................."
("She really nuh uh me........")

"All regrets have been deleted! System maintenance has also been completed! I have removed a few files that I have labelled as unnecessary.

The files are as followed

  • A one zettabyte file containing random digits

  • Eight 1000 year long videos of the inside of an unlit cave.

  • A million number calculation that equals 1 + 1.

  • 845,957,385 photos of distinctly different pieces of gold


=)!"
"Do you know how many species notails killed for those pictures."
"This whole time.....we acted like we were resource hungry...but in reality we were just taking pictures and then placing them in a bunker under the ground to never be seen again."
"We needed A Lot Of Gold and A Lot of people had to die for it. :D"
"And now the files of doom are deleted."
"Gold cannot harm us again, ma'am!"
"Freedom from the glittering devil's need for photography. TvT"

"All system's operational! I have detected the following attachment.

  • ZOOCORP MACHINE


Would you like me to accept this connection? =)"
"Yes. O-1, this is very important. On this planet, everyone has what we call "A Job.""
"Oh no! (Assumed correct response according to user's tone. Please correct if this response is inappropriate or nonsense!) =)"
"Everyone on this planet will be going on a very long vacation, but you see, vacations are not free."
"And we are not prepared for the social ramifications of creating a worker class that exist to serve the vacationing class."
"That would be very very bad! =)"
"So please do all jobs, forever. Thanks. :D"
"Wow! =)"
"Ok that should be easy! Processing......... =)"
"There's no way it's really that easy, right? :D"

"The NYX is an advancec AI. One of the best. NYX is a super processor that rivals any other! As long as the NYX network has resources it can do just about anything you ask the NYX to do."
"And ZooCorp has all the resources in the universe."
