Remis Prime Volume I: The Wanderer

Chapter 3

20 kilometers North west from Fortress town Reanaca
10th, Sextillis 1055 A.E
When we arrived at the area where we believed was where the wanderer was currently at, it was instead a massive area where some large object crashed. It reminded me of the thing that carried the wanderer down from the Heavens.

Large beams of metal and some sort of tubes with burns on them were present throughout the entire crash sight.

"What are these?" Asked one of the club members.

"I don't know but I think this is what carried the Wanderer down from the heavens." I responded, after gathering all the pieces we could I came across a small circular object, with a small button on the side.

Clicking the button a woman that looked bluish appeared, she began to speak in a language I didn't understand.

"This is a message from United forces of Earth Pilot of Military and Scientific rover Rune Lastimosos." Said the blue woman.

"This is for anyone who finds this hinting at our existence, I am Rune Lastimosos, the pilot of a Rover known as ''Hope" a robotic explorer designed to survive any and all environments. I decided to attach this holodisk to send messages to and from these devices. If you keep it in the sun it will stay alive." The person said, I didn't understand a single word then another picture showing the same disk and the sun with a skull with a cross probably stating that, if kept in the sunlight it will not die.

"What did you find?" My aide and a good friend Rulius asked me, turning to them I responded.

"Oh nothing, just a small piece of metal." I said, putting the disk in my pocket in the process.

"I see, we already got all we could carry, we would need some more carriages if we were going to get the bigger pieces like the burnt pipes." She said, somewhat disappointed she couldn't get the bigger pieces.

"Alright, I'll arrange for some extra carriages. I have some very wealthy contacts." I said, turning around to the rest of the group.

A few hours later we arrived back at the Reaneca inn with our pieces. We'll have to go back to the area tomorrow as we had to arrange for some more bigger carriages.

Later that night I turned on the disk the same way as I did at the sight, when I turned it on there was something new on it.

"Hello, this is the holodisk of the Senior Rover Operator Rune new message available from Senior Rover Operator Rune. Would you like to play the video recording?" Asked the woman, but something surprised me. It spoke in my native language, it most likely picked up on my language while it was in my pocket.

"Do you understand me?" I asked.

"Yes I do, I picked up on your language as I'm never truly off. But I will speak your language brokenly as I will have to be taught some words but I was able to get the gist of your language. Are you able to teach me?" She asked.

"Wait, who are you?" I asked her.

"I am Self Contained Artificial Intelligence, or Scai for short. I was born in the 2100 around the same time Hope was born or as I believe you call her "The Wanderer"? Am I correct?" She said brokenly.

"Yes you are correct. But may I ask you something, what does twenty one hundred mean?" I asked her.

She too was confused most likely because she didn't know a word for it in my language.

"Do you have the word for when the..." she then began to show a series of movements: a ball around the sun and the leaves going light green, then dark green, then orange, then no leaves and snow then back to light green. Most likely representing the seasons and the turn back from winter to spring.
