Tale Of Sarna The Shield Warrior First United Army

The Story

Jacob and Lana were the last to sit down around the fireplace. Jacob pulled out his bottle of whisky.
Sat it on the floor, Lana sat next to him. Sarna and
Ben sat in an over large easy chair. Louse sat on some pillows on the floor, Garret in a rocking chair.  Lana said before we start, I've Liza letting
the officers know we are not, to be disturbed. Unless its an all out attack.  So dear Ben when ever
you are ready.

Well the way I've been doing this is just open it
up read what ever happens to pop up. Old guy doesn't follow any order. So I'll open this and start.
Just need to read a little ahead is all. Lana propped herself in the corner of the sofa laying her legs across Jacob. He patted her thigh poured two whiskies. Handed Lana one then placed his on the table. Passed the bottle to Louse. As the bottle went around Ben started.

The Dark Time's

Well I promised So I'll talk of what I know of the
Dark Time. Most is second hand now, if I know for
fact I'll say so. Second hand stuff came from people
I know and trust. How much it has been changed
over the years. Well lets say its not certain.

First off been several Dark Time's much like the World Moving On. Been several of those events.
They could all be tied together I don't know,
Most not even the Keepers are certain.

So lets begin, we had machines that could think and do. Before you get all bunched up. Machines could
think talk do things man did. Yes now ya sayin Common don't be spinnin a yarn. Well I'm not.
They could, well best way to put it. They could sew
a button on and tie the knot when done.

You see they could do every thing a human could do.
Make decisions talk to you. Lan sakes must of been strange times.

Lana said we should stop this is talking of the Past!
We could all die for knowing this! Jacob tell Ben to
stop! Jacob nodded then said, Ben continue please.
I'll not do a thing. I believe Louse has heard this.
Maybe we all need to hear it. Go on Ben please.

Ok let me find my spot just a sec. Got it.

Well after N.O. One came a long that was the name
of the first super intelligent machine. If what I've
been told is right N.O. One named itself. No One
is what it called itself. Well I've seen pictures not
drawings things called photos. What they called A.I.
If I remember correctly it was called a computer.

Even after improvements it still called itself No One.
Now No One could talk to the other A.I. send out what they call updates. These machines took over
Mans jobs. Get this the ones that owned the companies. Well made people purchase these things.

They bought them on Time payments, they paid for the maintenance and updates. Then got paid a portion to live on. Well this new wonder supposed to make life better! Back fired! Like a cannon ball lodged in the barrel. Prices that is what things cost,
didn't go down nor stay the same. Why I was told
they kept going up!

Best way to put it, the old straight copper you could divide four ways. Now only in half. I can remember an ale was a quarter straight now its a half .
Think if it did that well beyond what you had, then kept going up. Well the first part of the half of the
World Moving on is done.

Second half starts we gots tired.

Louse stood could we stop I'd like to hear the hole
thing I need to step to the privy. Take a short break.
Ben nodded sure if no else cares. Sarna nodded yes
I'd like a break. Whispering in Bens ear remember
the pictures at the tower. Flying machines Ben,
dear me think he is speaking the truth.
