POACHED

AN UPGRADE BY EVERY MEANS

JAMES’ SURPRISE IS, UNIRONICALLY, NOT SURPRISING. he, like the rest of the population, know almost nothing about THE CLOUD. its perpetrators, the DRK TRIAD, are faceless boogiemen with no more backstory than cardboard villains. individuals given labels that do little to explain the why.

which is what AEOS is here to fix. for victories are temporary—bandaids that prove ineffective as hoenn reenters the gauntlet for the umpteenth time. even fernando, its champion, can feel the erosion of time. they need more people. capable people. those who will stand tall as they stand out individuals pave the way for an army of a generation.

“indeed, baker.”

proper details can be handled by a debriefing. to catch him up on everything that has happened is a task best left for the books. carefully curated reports polished by the one person who has access to both silph co. and hoenn’s esteemed council. fernando gives his computer one last look before clicking on his finale.

as promised, the seen in THE CLOUD devolves into another screen. multiple screen. ones that diverge and spread out in all directions as recollections of current events start to sprout like THE TREE OF LIFE.

“welcome to AEOS.”
