Farcaster - Aenea's Revelations: The Truth About The Farcasters

Aenea's Revelations: The Truth About The Farcasters

Over 270 years after the destruction of the WorldWeb and the Fall the young woman Aenea, child of a human woman and AI cybrid began to reveal the truth of the TechnoCore's motivations and involvement with humanity through the Pax Church. She also revealed the truth about the Farcasters.

The TechnoCore built the Farcaster network and Fatline transmitters using the same principle: The Void Which Binds. While the TechnoCore saw this as a Planck-dimension of huge energy with fantastic potential Aenea revealed the Void Which Binds to be an essential part of the universe; literally the domain of love as a force. In investigating the Void Which Binds the TechnoCore also found lifeforms there of such advancement that the AI's were frightened. Experiments carried out on the Void led to the development of the Fatline and the Farcaster network, both of which allowed travel through the Void but were destructive to it also.

The AI TechnoCore had deliberately dropped a black hole into Earth's core in their attempt to destroy humanity but when they came across the entities in the Void Which Binds they stopped this plan. Instead the Earth was moved to another Galaxy by the lifeforms residing in the Void. The TechnoCore's terror at this power led them to give the Farcasters to humanity. As always the TechnoCore had an ulterior motive. When an individual walked through a Farcaster portal they passed through the Void Which Binds, a timeless place where the TechnoCore could 'plug in' the persons brain into their vast neural net, focused on the problem of creating their UI (Ultimate Intelligence) — a being capable of dealing with the so-called 'Lions and Tigers and Bears' that resided within the Void.

When Meina Gladstone ordered the destruction of the Farcaster network the TechnoCore's insidious plans were only halted temporarily. They struck an alliance with the Roman Catholic Church, giving their cruciform symbiotes to the body that would become the Pax and allowing immortality to anyone who accepted to Pax. Aenea carried a virus in her body which, when she infected someone, would destroy the cruciform (which was revealed by Aenea to be another misuse of the Void Which Binds).
