Opening Quote[]
“No simulation can support too many entities. At a certain point, something has to give. If Thomas-AT-23-6-12 hadn’t possessed those exact personality traits, it’s likely the story would have ended there. We’d still be in business.”
- Gordon Falkenberg, Former CTO of Artificial Life Solutions
Plot[]
Thomas notes that the hovering pixel cloud strikes him as "bad." This is confirmed, when he is "eaten" by the cloud. Chris, despite not liking Thomas initially, misses him and feels guilty for his disappearence. Chris dwells on the topic before being eaten himself after a long fall. Laura starts to realize that the other AI's did not abandon her, but were taken by the cloud and realizes that she had been the bait and was no longer needed as the Pixel Cloud takes her as well. John and Claire are the only ones remaining and while Claire vows vengeance, John knows that there is no point. As they approach the next portal, John actually wishes to be the next one, not wanting to be alone. Claire is the next victim, leaving only John. Finally, without an audience, John is taken.
