The Alloys

The Message

They're coming for you.

Alright, maybe I shouldn't start off quite like that. Introductions. The name's Meredith Gorman, but Mere is what everyone calls me. As for my personality...well, I'm like you. And you don't need to introduce yourself, because I know who you are. You're probably decent at school (if you bother to try, that is), in love with writing, reading, and perhaps some other art. You're gifted with the knowledge, no matter how deeply buried it is, that you are different. Oh, and you're probably not believing a word I'm saying right now.

How'd I do? Not bad? Give me a break, I'm new at this.

The point is, believe it or not, you are different. People around you feel it, and maybe they like you for it, or maybe they don't. You're part of something incredibly selective and important. Believe me, your arrival is extremely critical.

Okay, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.

Let's start with simple questions. Have you ever felt this...this urgency? It's almost as if something is tugging you to a place, and you need to get there fast. And the hollowness? You've always felt like a piece of yourself, an important piece, isn't doing its job. There's also the longing to be with like-minded people. I mean, you might have friends, but do you really feel as if they get you?

Now that I've got you questioning your existence, let's get started on the actual explaining.

You are part of an experiment, however degrading that sounds. Look, we can fool ourselves saying that the human race is going to be fine, but if you watch the news, that's exceptionally hard. Humans are, candidly, the stupidest beings in this universe. They're just paving a path to the destruction of themselves, by categorizing and angering each other over the most trivial things. They need to be stopped. Very soon.

That's where you come in. You're their only hope of survival. And their survival is necessary, because, well...they aren't the only ones inhabiting the universe.

Look, I know that's a big bombshell to drop on you, but I think you'll find it in yourself to believe me. There's a system that couldn't exist without the humans, one that I don't know about any more than you do. We all need you. I know we're kind of putting you on the spot here, especially when you are still pretty clueless about everything that's going on, but you should really consider the stakes-

Oh, who am I kidding. You have no choice. You're coming with us, willingly or unwillingly. Please excuse my tone, but these are times of desperation.

Do us a favor, and don't struggle too much. See you in a bit.
