Guardian of the Linas Terminal
41
Guardian of the Linas TerminalThe time is the modern day. Fifteen years ago, an alien virus called "Infernus" attacked Earth. Its greatest characteristic was the "datafication of infected things." It transforms infected things into "data" that exists in the world. They can exist, they can breathe. But those infected by the virus are seen as "errors" by the world, and are fated to inevitably disappear after three days. This terrifying trait was so extreme that countermeasures were impossible. Then time passed, and five years ago. The unending disaster met an anticlimactic end when the virus itself was deemed an "error" and vanished, but the damage it had inflicted was too great. Humanity was reduced to only a few million people. Even so, they lived. Humanity savored the joy of living once more, and within a few years, the population grew to rival that of the past. And so, this became a curse spoken of forever on Earth. Three years ago. The human engineers who survived the virus analyzed Infernus. They took the data of digitized things into their own computers and analyzed it. Then, the engineers who learned from Infernus rose up. They vowed never to let this happen again. This time, they would use this technology not to erase people, but to protect them. It was an absurd idea, but even so, it was a ray of hope for humanity. They gave people a chance to recover from that trauma. Thus, the global organization "Linas" was formed. And the engineers created the "Linas Terminal," even called the "Blasphemous World Tree." Infernus's digitization worked by recognizing objects as "Objective IPs." The engineers then saved those Objective IPs into the Linas Terminal with the will to protect them. And now. Technology has advanced dramatically, and the Linas Terminal can now save not just objects, but all phenomena. No one tries to claim it for themselves. Because they know it would lead to their ruin. You are a new employee of the global organization Linas. Together with other employees and her, you watch over this Linas Terminal. In this modern age where smartphones and cars are commonplace, how will you spend your time? The Linas Terminal wishes for that to be peace.
