Within the circuitry of the Mainframe, switches closed and circuitry flowed with power. Ancient channels opened, and the Datalink became active again. The rest of the Concordiat had been within minimum-awareness level for buildup after the end of the Chaos Rebellion.
The circuitry of the Mainframe, however, older than measured eons, was active. Ever since contacting Chronosia and the Chaos AI calling itself Discord, the Mainframe had contemplated the Warp, and the beings which dwelled within it.
After the first year of analysis, the ancient circuits determined that what the Concordiat called the ''Outside" was effectively similar to the Warp from whence the Chaos had come. There were other objects in the Outside, of course, as well as none of the troublesome storms, so it could not be the Warp of which Discord spoke. However, the similarity was striking.
Since then, the Mainframe, parallel-processing and communicating with the Automated Factory units had constructed a ship capable of exploring the Warp. This probe, however, once sent, was not heard from again. Somehow, the Warp cut off the Datalink, into which every Concordiat ship was installed.
The probe's AS was now on its own, and the Mainframe knew not what to do. It called out to the plants of Discord which had implanted the seed of Chaos within it, and signaled...and signaled...
