Part 89: Coda: <NO SUBJECT>

<NO SUBJECT>

I have just received a very strange message.



I'm not alone in this. Lisa got one of these. So did Kamran, and Derrick. The people they've spoken to also had one, too.
I think Mr. Sun Haotian 2.0 emailed the entirety of Avalon City.

On one hand... we did it. We managed to create a whole new form of hybrid human-machine intelligence!
On the other hand... that. That message. Clearly Sun has something in mind, with his stated plans to monkey about with human [development / desire / whatever]. I get the feeling that maybe I should be worried, but... well, he did say: next message in 6.038 * 10^10 seconds. We've got about 1,914 years to prepare for whatever's coming.

I'm not sure where the future is going to take me, or any of us, at this point; but, I can still try and help the people around me with my engineering skill.
Will Sun's plans save the world? Or doom it? Or will entropy end up turning NETHUNS and Avalon into high-tech ruins long before that second message is ever sent?

I guess we'll have to wait and find out.

See you in 1,900 years.
