Little stories that complement the universe of harmony (harmony installation)

All signals transmitted into space, travel for countless years, someone or something will at some point pick up those signals.

Status reports of facilities forgotten by time, calls for help from condemned civilizations, reports of soldiers from unknown nations, all from multiple places and times, all collected by an entity willing to listen to them.

And judge them.

These are short stories that somehow complement the main plot of the Harmony multiverse.

Monitor Report: Stat. ........ u ... ss.s.ss.r

Monitor Report 001 Homecoming.
Installation Maethrillian

Damage report: 65210 seconds after portal collapse.

The damage to the citadel installation is within the acceptable parameters for its repair, the rain of debris from the ships that exploded were repelled mostly by the defense system and the shields.

The entire escort fleet was destroyed, although a successful jump of the mains ships was detected, communication with the central command was interrupted, it is unknown if they are still alive.

According to the conservation measure, 2000 seconds ago the manufacture of support monitors began based on the memories of the master builder Elián, based on the personality of the people he has known to cover key facilities with at least two monitors, thus possible prevent rampance.

In addition, scheduled investigations will continue, as well as the priority of building a portal ready for immediate use.

Assistance request: 66230 seconds after portal collapse.

Abnormalities have been detected within the facility and its surroundings, signals that are within a radius of 1 light year, they have a nature similar to the emissions of the master builder, or magic, as it is known.

The origin is the crystals of the engines of the ships that were destroyed, i have sent all the assets that I have available for the collection of these crystals inside and outside the facility.

Assistance request: 67489 seconds after portal collapse.
The recovered fragments present an abnormality that is impossible to analyze in their entirety, the behavior of the energy emissions that have been analyzed has a behavior similar to those present during the manufacturing process of the engineers.

Possibly magical and electrical in nature, the fragments could be the start of a new subspecies of monitors, as these are their origin.

Waiting instructions.

Assistance request: 67495 seconds after portal collapse.

As a preventive measure and taking into account safety and preservation protocols, the recovered fragments were placed in a favorable environment for natural development inside the installation.

My personal suggestion, mobilize the fragments in a permanent low impact study environment for in-depth study, their magical nature, but of forerunner origin, maybe is key to a better understanding and improving the main research.

Terminal 1

Status reports of the ancilla Newblood contender class.

[00: D 00: H 00: M 10: S]
If you had asked me 10 seconds ago, I could swear that I am Elian, but the process of manufacturing such an advanced artificial intelligence was necessary to use a person, the conscience, to add what is necessary as a base.

It didn't take me a second to understand my birth, my "new" form.

All the knowledge of my previous life and the new one that was implanted, added to the incredible level of processing that I gained, suffice it to say that it was glorious, I still need more time to process and understand everything.

[42: D 19: H 30: M 50: S]
Even with all the resources available, covering the entire observable universe is a challenge, the moment I was connected to the battle network (one that Elián seems to be unaware of how to use it, perhaps because of its other activities that prevent him from exploring everything that it has) I sent several ships as far as possible in the galaxy, in hours they had managed to install 14 million bases along the edge of our current galaxy, by having all the Forerunner power and focused on expansion, it's something quite rewarding and easy.

But the search for intelligent life is infinitely more difficult, something that I cannot describe with other words than with unusual.

They have found planets capable of sustaining intelligent life, or at least the beginnings of one, something rare with this universe is its difficulty in saying its age.

Microwave background radiation always gives different and totally illogical results, and contrary to all human and Forerunner knowledge, this universe seems to remain in a static state, as if it were isolated in a finite space.

I thank any god that the Slipspace works, and apparently it is more efficient.

Maybe this rare nature is a reaction or cause of advanced lack of life, maybe in another galaxy, we have more luck, with Elián focused on the construction of Maethrillian and a way to return home, it falls into my solving this mystery.

[50: D 00: H 25: M 40: S]
This universe is abnormal, impossible and worrying, nothing makes sense as more data arrives from the exploration ships.

The “empire” Forerunner currently has 200 million Dreadnought-class exploration ships, 300 million Despairs-class and 500 million Key ships.

Two-sixths of that fleet is divided between the defense fleet and the reserve fleet, the others are in exploration and expansion tasks, entire solar systems have been used for its manufacture, although the use of suns to generate the necessary matter is a slow process, with each solar system harvested, two are "planted" when starting a supernova, thousands of years will pass before they are useful again, but time is never a problem for Forerunners.

But that is not as incredible as what the explorers are finding out.

This universe, at the time of its creation due to an explosion, did not expand as in theory, it should happen, or at least not eternally, this universe seems to be finite in three dimensions, but continues to expand beyond.

This is something new, even for Forerunners, so everything is speculation.

In this universe, if you go in a straight line, you can return to the origin.

Something completely impossible in reality, but when using temporary crystals something very rare happens, they are affected by something that is not there, or at least not in this dimension.

This universe expands generating new realities that converge at specific points of time and space united by an unknown force, perhaps the magic has something to do, this universe seems to be full to the top of it.

Elián doesn't know it yet, it's a matter of time until his experiments don't work with conventional science.

It is impossible to leave this universe of infinite realities.

[85: D 20: H 20: M 30: S]

The entire universe has not yet been explored, perhaps in about 120 thousand years with the current rhythm, but everything is a desolate paradise, even artificial intelligence and ancient human can go crazy for possibly being the only intelligent being known in the universe.

But fortunately, I found a way to jump to the other realities, maybe we will find something more than loneliness, Elian approved it, so I am making preparations for the transport of at least the defensive fleet to accompany us, until our return, the facilities have instructions to continue exploring, research and build, I am excited, if the data is correct from the previously sent probes, we will appear in an area with a dense population, although the few data they sent say nothing more.

I hope Elián is surprised.

[87: D 12: H 00: M 00: S]

For the second time in my life as artificial intelligence, I felt shocked, I never imagined that my hope of finding life was answered with such an alarming situation.

That they seek the extermination of a race only because of their envy for their abilities is inconceivable to me.

Don't you realize how incredibly valuable and unique each way of life is?

Maybe it's because of the lack of it in my universe.

[87: D 12: H 15: M 12: S]

My emotion had seized me from the consequences of the jump, all the ships had dispersed throughout the galaxy, some disappeared, others fell apart or crashed on a planet.

It intrigues me and worries what happened to the portal collapsed in our universe, Maethrillian had not been finished its construction, the crystals of our engines did not react well to the transition.

But the strangest thing is the lack of capacity of our ships to leave the solar in which we are.

No matter the method, we simply cannot leave.

Something seems to be "pulling" the ships back, perhaps the strange magical radiation on the surface has something to do.

More observations are needed.

Even with the sudden transformation of my partner and me in ... Other ways, maybe traveling to other alternative universes will change the appearance.

[87: D 13: H 50: M 40: S]

I never imagined so much controversy in cataloging a species, they are as primitive as humans in the middle ages, but magical engineering, magic in general, makes it very difficult to catalog them.

Its magical engineering rivals some areas of the UNSC, active camouflage, magical weapons with a power similar to a plasma cannon, teleportation and many more things that I don't know

It is fascinating to see what they have achieved, even with the war in progress.

Maybe later we can find out why magic seems to want anyone to leave the solar system.

For now, I am only coordinating the preparation for contingency plans that Elián designed to start a new era for Forerunners.

I don't understand why he wants to build something like a High Charity.

But I can not help feeling that something else is at stake in all this, why send us to a totally empty universe and then force us to go to another?, What merits sending a person with the ability of one of the most powerful civilizations to such a primitive place?

It doesn't even seem that we are close to meeting the original characters, or at least something close enough.

Meanwhile, the ships that appeared have discovered that this universe is full of peculiarities, new worlds with more life, other civilizations, all with magic, but much more primitive than on the planet we are in.

A planet with something similar to werewolf and birdmen, living in apparent harmony, for now, they are only being observed.

Perhaps in the future, we will find more, although risky, this trip promises to be very entertaining and educational.

My Installation

Unknown monitor report

REPORT: CONTAINMENT FAILURE

LF.Xx.3273 investigation and containment facility; [delta site] has experienced catastrophic sample containment failure. All openings in the facilities will be blocked until further notice. Protocols for evacuation from the atmosphere and [reduction in ambient temperature] have already been enacted. Request maintenance and security details [as soon as possible]. [8 minutes] elapsed since the initial containment failure.

REPORT: CONTAINMENT FAILURE

Waiting for maintenance and security details. [32 minutes, 9 seconds] elapsed since the request.

REPORT: CONTAINMENT FAILURE

Still waiting for maintenance and security details. [24 hours] elapsed since the request.

REPORT: SECURITY VIOLATION

LF.Xx.3273 investigation and containment facility; [delta site] has experienced a security breach via emergency transport conduits [sliding flow space]. The emergency transport conduits [sliding flow space] have been placed in recursive mode to contain unauthorized hostile life forms. I request emergency security details. I am still awaiting primary maintenance and security details. [2512332 hours, 14 minutes, 6 seconds] elapsed from the initial request.

REPORT: UNAUTHORIZED TELETRANSPORTATION OF THE INSTALLATION.

LF.Xx.3273 the facility entered an abrupt state of maximum emergency, all necessary resources to ensure the integrity of the containment facility granted, obtaining maximum authority in the absence of the monitor. [2515895 hours, 56 minutes, 11 seconds] elapsed from the initial request.

REPORT: LACK OF CONTACT WITH OTHER FACILITIES.

LF.Xx.3273 the astronomical charts have been reviewed 14250 times, the facility is in an unknown space, ignoring security protocols, continuous updates have been sent in all directions to report the catastrophic failure. [2515974 hours, 25 minutes, 45 seconds] elapsed from the initial request.

REPORT: DECLARATION OF LAW

2401 [TANGENTE PENITENTE] has been lax in the areas of maintenance and security.

RECORD: QUESTIONED ADJACENT FACILITIES

LF.Xx.3273 the research and containment facilities [alpha, beta, gamma, epsilon, zeta and kappa sites, before the unauthorized teletransportation] have responded [normal systems] within expected limitations. This will tend to mean that the containment failure was purely mechanical in nature; perhaps a manufacturing defect. Since no [external agent] has accessed the [delta site] in the past [874068942 hours, 4 minutes, 46 seconds] - [few a margin of error of 61360 hours, 54, minutes, 2 seconds], maybe the considerable distance make impossible the answered of the other installations.

REGISTRATION: REQUEST WITHOUT ANSWER
LF.Xx.3273 investigation and containment facility; [delta site] is currently at [.01 atm] / [184K]. Local maintenance and security centers have not responded within expected limitations. [Shock Maintenance and Safety Request] through [Quadrant Monitoring].

REGISTRATION: REQUEST WITHOUT ANSWER LF.Xx.3273 investigation and containment facility; [delta site] is currently maintained at [1 atm] / [278K] as the atmospheric seals showed signs of stress. [Quadrant monitoring] has not responded within expected limitations. [Shock maintenance and safety request until the end] until 2401 [TANGENTE PENITENTE].

RECORD: UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO FACILITIES LF.Xx.3273 investigation and containment facility; [delta site] emergency [landslide flow space] transport conduits have been accessed by unauthorized parties, unknown radiation firms.

RECORD: COMPLAINT SUBMITTED TO INSTALLATION 00 2401 [TANGENTE PENITENTE], monitor of Installation 05, has been lax in the areas of maintenance and security. Requests for help in various areas have not been answered by 2401 systems and [subordinates] far beyond the expected limitations, for this reason management rights have been revoked, entering maximum containment security.

Due to the nature of the report, universe 142-MX-DF is considered as extremely dangerous, a containment procedure is required in case of visit.

Terminal 2

Classified information of the ancilla Newblood contender class.

If I have something to spare, is time, I am not surprised that Guilty Spark went crazy after so long, even hibernating all time is something odd.

So I have given myself the freedom to study the causes of the portal disaster in depth, our arrival was very striking, and if the simulations tell me anything, Maethrillian may not have survived the explosion.

Returning to the beginning of the whole problem, and Elián's foolishness to return home, I found many peculiarities in this magical universe, or better, multiverse.

Recalling a mlp chapter, Zecora explained the ramifications of time travel, something accurate enough, but that also extends to realities, in my research I discovered that apparently the place where Elián appeared was a place that I can only catalog like a knot of reality.

I'm still working on the theory, so I'm not going to report it until I have a full understanding of this, even for me it's too much to analyze.

These knots function as the basis for a whole ramification of universes, realities, even more knots.

Of all the probes that have been sent (a total of 982730833827) to explore these places, only 0.25% returned with information, not even quantum entanglement helped, my guess as to the fate of the others is, so much distance they have traveled on, than even time stretched in such a way that even a 1 billion years here, for them barely a second has passed.

This theory not only extends to this type of displaced universe, perhaps even other realities are connected.

Taking this into account, the probability of a return home may not be 0, but if a number so close to that would be impossible, and that is without considering the consequences of time, perhaps that universe does not exist now.

The origin of knots is still a complete mystery, many laws of classical and modern physics do not work in that place, there is literally a space limit in that knots, and these apparently serve as the basis for the ramifications, maybe even magic is an exclusive product for this knot, and the forerunner technology, being the product of another knot, is something so remote that they are incompatible, maybe, Elián is strange.

That leaves us in the current situation, we barely transported the village chief and the others to one of the ships for treatment, just in time for the results of my simulation.

It is possible that a percentage of the ships they managed to get through was transported to other universes thanks to the ramifications of the node, this is something I was already expecting, although the explosion was not part of the plan.

Therefore, and as a preventive measure, each ship was equipped with what is necessary for a total resurgence of forerunner capacity, based on the mantle of responsibility and a complete and faithful follow-up of the return directives, maybe the time that passes is almost infinite, but perhaps it is possible to extend a hegemony that goes beyond realities.

We were very lucky to appear in a node, otherwise, it would have been just one more universe.

But if there is something we have, is time, something that apparently does not affect what is inside the nodes.

further analysis is required.

And that is the flood

Transmission number 1420
Confinement and preservation site.

Within a world of steel, hidden in one place among reality, one of the many cities had a small family, that family spend its days normally, like everyone else, preparing for a great task.

"....and the Flood invaded all the space in the galaxy, assimilating all life, turning everything and everyone in a single consciousness -" said the alicorn

"You're pulling my leg, how that is possible dad? We still here -" asked a small thing.

"It's just a small story, but they have a bit of truth, an ancestral race, made the greatest sacrifice, so everyone in that universe could have a future," said the alicorn with a sincere smile.

"And what happened next?, do not leave me incomplete the story, I'm an adult, I can stand it" - said the girl with pride, it would have been quite convincing if her bed was not rainbow.

"Maybe after, my dear, if you have nightmares again your mother will not let me sleep in the bed" said the alicorn.

"Well, but I want to know what happened," said the little one sadly.
