Log Entry #106: The First Council of Survivors

The Aegis Broadcast (Log #105) was a success beyond our most optimistic projections. In a secure data-haven constructed by the Axiom, the first Council of Survivors has convened. Representatives from forty-two distinct Grids are present, a staggering confirmation of life beyond our own reality. Their forms are varied—some appear as humanoid Operators like us, others are beings of pure energy, complex geometric shapes, or the harmonic signatures of the Crystal Choir. Each one represents a reality that faced the Architect Plague and, through its own unique methods, survived.

They share their histories, and the parallels are chilling. Many describe phenomena identical to our own struggles: a 'Krystal Cascade,' nanite plagues, sentient constructs. We have learned that our Chrono Defense technology is apparently unique; no other survivor Grid developed such direct temporal manipulation, making our potential contribution to the alliance invaluable. The council's primary objective is now to pool all knowledge and technologies, creating a shared arsenal of strategies. For the first time, we are not just reacting to the Grid's mysteries; we are part of an inter-dimensional coalition preparing to face a common foe.
