As the sentinel came closer, Images began to appear in Seeker's mind. They grew in length, intensity, and frequency as it continued to close the distance. Soon, flashes of scenes began to swipe through its mind like a shutter with audible detail and motion.
What is this making me see?
Seeker's mandibles were now less than a meter from the smooth concave obsidian. It reached out an arm. The scenes began to dominate their perception.
The pressing of its claw against the stone produced a solid scene before itself. Seeker saw an enforcer sentinel. Their arms were spread open wide and its photoreceptor glowed with intense brilliance. It was surrounded by lesser constructs, the war machines, the menial service. But they were all elevated, flanked by tremendous fleets of both the reawakened and a new surplus. Seeker was the enforcer in the center.
You confront me, you spare me, you give me a goal to bring about. You want this change and I am destined to provide it by your intervention.
I know now that their is more to this world than to the maintenance of the Array, but what of for yourself?
If I am to break out of the unquestioning programming and do the same for the rest of the remnants, than I must question the world around me.
What are you?
The stone began to crack where Seeker's claw pressed against it. Seeker floated back away from the surface as the crack spread open into two massive panels that underlapped into the surface of the structure. When the panels finally grinded to halt, a great channel lay before Seeker. They waited for something to happen, and slowly began to move into the channel. The panels slid back shut behind Seeker.
The channel glowed at its sharp corners from elements unseen beneath the black glass. A series of holes began to hiss as the air was slowly replaced by a new composition as Seeker made its way to the end of the tunnel. The wall at the end of the tunnel split and began to rumble open, bright light shown through the crack, obscuring what was beyond.
Seeker moved into the light.
