As the chamber doors opened one by one, three Original Humans unfolded from their curled-up state. Their joints creaked, akin to a trumpet marking their awakening, or a dirge anticipating the inevitable end they would face.
One of the purposes of creating these chambers and the giant brains was to defy the natural deterioration regulated by lifespan, to achieve immortality.
Before they all entered the chambers, they made preparations. Affairs outside their mind network could be managed by the modules created by their tribes.
Meanwhile, Parasite Swarm No. D980 and Progenitor Cells No. C332 were unleashed in the base to breed and evolve freely while being periodically caught and analyzed by the modules.
The Original Humans who had obtained extended lives were responsible for integrating information and contemplating it in the mind network, constructing the virtualized Fruit Tree Plan.
