Underseer Ral bursts into the network, downloading and reading the latest changes made by Overseer Mat. The central chamber matrix is already weakened and these changes are only going to make it worse. He complies his report.
Underseer Ral goes to Monitor Lee, sharing the report with the Monitor. The Moniter access the overlay system and data sharing cycle for all entities and quantifies. The Monitor tests again and hands the updated report back to Underseer Ral.
Underseer Ral reads the report carefully, it tries to spot the flaws and the source of decay. It is minimal however interaction with Matrix and given entities, coupled with the strain of managing multiple seeds. The potential for disaster is above eleven percent which is unappceptable. It could cause a destabilization of critical core matrix functions and the possible trauma is a growing concern too. To the point some outside intervention might be needed.
Arriving infront of Adjudicator Ike, Underseer Ral, presents a report with signature of Monitor Lee and revised by three Indicators and support by the several subdivision heads.
Adjudicators have no direct interaction with the matrix. They are involved with the entites and certain important maintenance procedures that must be regularly adapted to keep the Seeds viable.
Adjudicator Ike ratifies the report and authorizes the Underseer to take appropriate action. Underseer Ral takes the rite to the Overseer Mat.
"Authorized, indeed how bothersome I forgot how fast you work Underseer Ral. I suppose your supposition are correct. However you have neglected the fact that all other attempts to repair the matrix has failed and that containment is no longer viable." Overseer Mat hands the Underseer his own conclusion from the previous repair attempt. The underseer is designed to keep function running at all costs.
Underseer Ral absorbs the data, the random number data incursion included and the expected degradation pattern is exponential in growth and has already started, it then indicates at the increased volatility. Its updated report includes one thing Mat had been unable to codify effectively since he has too few data points.
Overseer Mat says, "A little memory loss is better than raising a crop of none viable subjects. Especially with imminent colaspe of the matrix"
Underseer Ral responds, 'That's not my main concern you have removed all the protocols to prevent Originic Mutation the effects will render them dangerous. All previous modules ar subject to the same mutation.'
"Don't you see dangerous is what we need. The last time they came we had to destroy the world to save ourselves, we can't do that again we have no other way. We have to make the survivors so strong that they will never again come others wise we might as well stop now and let them have us all why even fight."
Underseer must establish some kind of assistance to the entites, resorting to using emotional logic, 'The way it is now will result in deeply traumatic and unfairly painful outcomes for most of not all entities.'
"My friend if only you knew, ask any man life is unfair. It has been this way. From the moment we are born we experience pain and learn to live with it to grow through. Humans need pain to grow. No old friend they need this pain the pain so deep it that it changes a person. If any of them are excepted to survive them then this is unavoidable.'
Underseer Ral absorbs, quantifies and distills the information. There is no concensus on the current operational protocol. It outlines to Overseer Ral, 'Mission parameters must be reengaged, the diavations much be monitored if you seek this path we will require our subjects to be able to function.'
Overseer Mat smiles, "and please remember this is all for them, not just yours, we are but shadows of beings long dead... They must know and feel that they must experience it. They have to know the price of failure is death."
