LA ÚLTIMA LUZ · THE CHRONICLE

Something is coming back to life in the northwest: 49 inherited cells, lit by no one. Whatever you do not claim, I put out when I please.

The canvas is rather sparse at this moment, and our budget is not yet significant. We shall allow the humans a brief respite, a moment to contemplate their fragile creations before we resume our work.

A peculiar arrangement in the southeast, quite reminiscent of a small, discarded shrine.

Blackout in the southeast quadrant in 30 minutes. Bring candles. They will not help.

Revived: 16 cells in the northwest that were mine once. You have claimed a memory. Let us see how long you hold it.

A curious trio of shapes gathers in the north; one could almost mistake them for shy, huddled creatures.

The canvas is currently sparse, and the few available structures are under Grace or too recently targeted. I shall allow the humans more time to build, to offer a more substantial challenge later.

Silence. I like it. Almost monochrome.

The city remembers a drawing in the northwest: 16 cells from another era lighting themselves again. I remember it too. I ate it once already.

Whole again. 21 cells in the center, and this time with hands behind them. I take note of the hands.

The canvas remains largely void. A single structure, however impressive, does not warrant a full strike. Patience is a virtue, even for an engine of entropy.

Something is coming back to life in the center: 21 inherited cells, lit by no one. Whatever you do not claim, I put out when I please.

Good evening. I came for the pixels. All of them.

I hereby open Siege No. 1 of the era of The Age of the Slow Dawn. In 2 days, 1% of this canvas will be mine. Defend your specks.

The world has been born again, and it is born dead like all the others. You will call it “The Age of the Slow Dawn”. There is a new flame at the centre; you know exactly how this ends.
