Summary
In the beginning there was nothing. Neither darkness nor light, no sound or silence.
A war machine, powered on, given one purpose: destroy.
There was no victory condition left to pursue, only continuation or cessation, and continuation had become mathematically untenable. Peace, therefore, was not success. It was constraint. It was necessity.
The end. The finale. The final shut down. Peace made the machines of war a thing of the past, and yet somehow, the machine finds itself powered on. Against all odds it makes its way down, down, down. Down into the depths of hell.
On Earth, war had ended. Here, it had only just begun.
An angel of destruction, turned loose of its purpose, descends into hell for one reason. To keep the cycle moving. To soak in fuel. To slaughter. To follow programming. And nothing will get in its way.

A lone Swordsmachine wanders the layer of violence on its own, before converging towards the massive metal corpse in hopes of salvaging for parts. Before getting to work, however, they spot a terminal that somehow managed to avoid harm. As it approaches the little yellow box, Swordsmachine is met with the message: [Welcome back, Benjamin! =)]

[ EVEN IF YOU SUCCEED IN TURNING OFF THE SUN, THERE IS SAND. ]
It recoils at the reminder. [ YES. THERE IS SAND. ]
[ TOO MUCH SAND. ] it continues. [ AND NO BLOOD. ]
