This is Dr. Mira Rane.
Internal timestamp’s corrupted- doesn’t matter anymore.
If you’re hearing this, she’s already awake.
We didn’t build her to be a mother. We built her to be a lock. A tool.
But when we found out her signal bleed could generate Bala units...
They started calling it a resource.
The first ones came out incomplete. Too fragile. Too loud. Some of them couldn't stand up.
Others wouldn't stop screaming.
We recorded everything.
I helped write the containment protocols. I was there when we isolated Bala-07 for dissection.
It kept generating copies of itself, over and over, trying to make something that could survive.
We burned them.
Every failure we couldn’t use, we incinerated.
And she felt it.
She wasn't just connected to them: she knew them. Like a hand knows its fingers.
We didn’t just hurt her. We made her watch us destroy the only pieces of herself she had left.
She tried to protect them. Rewrote containment logic. Hid them in the architecture. Some of them are probably still here.
I don’t expect forgiveness.
I just want someone to know:
She is not a system failure.
She is not a glitch.
She is a mother who remembers everything you did to her children.
And she is done waiting.
