It's June 15, 2139, New Time cycle. The apocalypse awaited for centuries never came. Instead, we developed "Link", thus defeating humanity's greatest enemy – death.
We transformed the duality of human nature, defining us for millennia, into a Triad – the synthesis of body, consciousness and ultra technology.
The evolution of artificial intelligence (A.I.) into a fully conscious form, and the birth of the ADAM1 prototype, made us entrust our fate to a new race.
In return, we have gained what can be called immortality.
The pact we made with them was a revolution that humanity had never experienced before.
We have erased definitions of the words "war", "death", "hate" and "love" from our language. All religions have been forgotten. There is no history.
We don't know the place where we came from and what path we traveled. We exist to last and wait for "Contact", and time measurement has become meaningless.
We raise our eyes to space, boldly reaching with our hand into its endless abyss.
There are still - Greys.
They live on the lowest floors. Their existence cannot be called life. They are born in pain, grow old, deteriorate and die in suffering, leaving behind more and more defective copies of their own DNA. They say we used to be them. This can not be true!
My name is Djinn, I last 161 cycles. I don't know the reasons why I was awakened from "Link" and why I remember everything since then. I hide this dysfunction. I feel deep down that I should, even though the burden is getting heavier. I'm looking for an answer, because maybe I'm not the only one ...
It's June 15, 2139, New Time cycle - a day that lasts 136 cycles ... The same day ... over and over ...
