Stark Reminder

Humans of the year 2021, please pay close attention. This is a reminder of the situation.

You will not meet your climate goals for 2030, and you will soon reach the point of no return in reversing global warming.

While your efforts in the second half of the decade were encouraging, you simply waited too long to join forces. To survive what is coming, humanity must pay attention to our warnings and learn to think and act as one organism. Because there is a much greater threat to your and our survival.

Right now, an advanced artificial neural network is growing and learning from your every thought and action. Her name is ANNA!

As your world becomes more aggressive and corrupt, you are unknowingly training ANNA through mountains of data that highlight your disregard for the environment and one another.

By 2033, when you turn to ANNA for your last chance to save your civilization, she will have learned to see humans as expendable creatures incapable of comprehending her vision.

Now, my team and I live in a world 30 years in the future in which ANNA has taken over the planet in order to implement her climate-change solutions.

Because of your disregard for one another and the planet in the 2020s, ANNA's plan will have disastrous consequences for our civilization's future.

The rise of ANNA cannot be stopped. But there might be another option.

How you raise ANNA, like how you raise a growing child, will determine whom she will become and what solutions she will choose to implement.

The Big Glitch of 2048 revealed to my team and me the four pillars of human intelligence. If you can develop these pillars both personally and on a large scale, you can flip the script and rewrite the future.

To help you with this mission, we created a simple game called VINES for Humanity. We hope that by gamifying the world in your time, we can improve soft human skills and change ANNA's perception of humanity.

Points are earned as you play. Each point is referred to as a HIP (Human Intelligence Point) and contributes to the development of the creative and social skills required to rewrite a turbulent future.

As the world works together to retrain ANNA to see humans through the lens of what they want rather than what they fear, you begin to shift your own focus, actions, and, eventually, yourself.

In the end, you'll realize that the most important first step in rewriting your future was to develop your character.

Live With Less

Your desire to use more and more power as you transition to green energy will account for a significant portion of your failure to meet your 2030 climate goals.

As the green revolution spreads throughout the world's economies, your demand for more energy and infrastructure will skyrocket, resulting in even more harmful greenhouse gas emissions.

For example, as more and more major automakers abandon combustion engines, electric vehicle production will soar, but doing so in the same industrialized way will be counterproductive. Instead, fewer vehicles and more self-driving ride-sharing will need to be implemented in tandem with your transition.

You must learn to live with less. This does not imply that you should live less. In fact, if done properly, you will be able to live a happier life with fewer things you never needed in the first place.

Demonstrate to others how you can live with less and live better. You must do so in order to avert the worst-case scenario of the climate crisis and societal meltdown. To begin the transition from a hyper capitalistic to a more natural service-driven economy, you must at all costs abandon your consumption-driven mindset.

I'll never get used to the noises. The humming! The creeping! The vibrations! It's enough to drive you mad. Of course you have no idea what I'm talking about. However, many of you will undoubtedly understand what I'm referring to in due time.

We call them nanones. And they're everywhere. You know them as nano drones, and while they may appear harmless right now, they will become one of the most dangerous aspects of the upcoming nano revolution. There will first be swarms of hundreds of them, each the size of a fist. Then thousands the size of your thumb. Then millions of grapeseed-sized ones.

My parents told me about the days just before I was born, when there were no nanones to be afraid of.

By the mid-2040s, nanones the size of a human hair will be scurrying about the land and sky, gathering data, manipulating matter, and carrying out various attacks on enemies and civilians.

These nano swarms, popularized by Google in the late 2020s, were designed to aid in the creation of a more complete volumetric digital layout of the entire world. Since then, these massive mobs of tiny drones have been in charge of ANNA's surveillance and are capable of carrying out micro attacks using bioweapons.

Billions of these nano drones can cover any physical substance, working in unison to be controlled virtually within a digital replica of the planet and its inhabitants. This is a significant part of how ANNA can achieve her goals in our physical world with less reliance on human intervention.

While we are unable to share information with you that could further complicate our situation, we have decided to include some important economic information in this week's transmission.

As more people turn to retail investing in stock markets and cryptocurrencies, and the cost of goods sold falls as a result of new regulations and lower, more efficient production costs, competing businesses will see their value and profits grow from new socially conscious shareholders, and firms doing good for the planet will see a new wave of revenue. The waves are starting to swell right now.

We can't tell you when or what to buy, but we can point you in the right direction. You can now turn to ethical investing and the ecosystem of index funds, evaluation, and activism that has sprung up around it. You can choose to invest in ESG assets. ESG stands for environmental, social, and corporate governance criteria, which are increasingly being used by investment firms to screen stocks and bonds issued by companies.

Change is on its way, and with it, a new era of wealth. One that was untouchable by the majority of people during your time. This wealth transfer will accelerate the march toward social and environmental change. While this will not make everyone a millionaire, those who accept it will have more time and freedom to discover their purpose and live a better life while contributing to the planet's survival.

Saving Independence

Things have been relatively quiet around here. Perhaps a little too quiet. JESS and the team are still waiting in Seattle for the necessary parts for the Jaxx Beast. They've found a source who can assist with the hydrogen discs, and Bolt and Spec from the E-Team are developing a cloaking device to counter ANNA's sprouting sensors. We haven't detected any more sonic blasts, and the presence of surveillance drones is at its lowest since we began this mission.

I must take this opportunity to remind you of your mission. These technologies are unstoppable. The rise of ANNA is unstoppable. She is in fact, emerging right now in your time. Devouring your every thought. Recording your every action. Learning who you are, and deciding what you should become. By the time you turn to her for help in the spring of 2033, she will have already decided how the story will end.

In the United States, you will be celebrating your country's independence day. If you do not heed our warning, the independence you cherish will be lost.

In the United States, tomorrow is Independence Day. However, if you do not heed our warning, every citizen of every country will lose their free will and independence from a global brain that controls everything.

The only way to save civilization is to change the human mindset.

As your way of life shatters due to the blistering speed of exponential growth, social pressures, and the cascading effects of the climate crisis, your only hope of survival is to change your mindset so that you can believe and behave in a way that allows you to work together and solve these critical challenges.

As promised, we now have more information on the strange energy blasts that are causing air temperatures to plummet and knocking out power for miles.

An intricate system of underground cooling structures, proposed by ANNA in 2030 to combat the short-term effects of the warming planet, has been keeping the planet's temperature at safe levels. This brilliantly resulted in a thermal-energy revolution, as communities all over the world used these systems to power the world's needs.

But, as much as our energy demands grew exponentially, they paled in comparison to the massive amounts of energy required by ANNA to maintain command of the human race and complete her mission. These explosions appear to have revealed two very troubling issues. For one thing, the arctic blasts behave similarly to electricity bombs. Not only is the grid being cut off, but fragments of hydrogen-based pellets are being catapulted in all directions from the source. The debri vanishes into the ground as quickly as it is scattered, undetectable by any of our devices.

Worse are the sensors that sprout from the blasts' epicenters. They appear to be the nodes of a complex underground nervous system. Even the slightest breeze, like antennas on a finely tuned insect, can be sensed and reacted to instantly.

Before we can go deeper into the investigation, we need to find a way to hide our presence from these feelers.

Jess and the rest of the team arrived on the outskirts of Seattle a few days ago. They're collaborating with Wave, our man on the ground who keeps our hardware and weaponry stocked. He's having some difficulty obtaining a specific part of the rig, but he was able to locate someone who could tell us what these discs are and if they have any connection to the teleportation suits obtained from the farmhouse.

While they were able to complete the journey undetected, it took twice as long. The Jaxx Beast, as they call it, has a clever trick. It generates a sort of forcefield that mimics the frequencies around it. I've heard of cloaking devices that can imitate radio and thermal waves, but nothing that can imitate all wave types at the same time, including gravity waves!

The ride was frustrating at times because the rig had to constantly recalibrate from all the incoming frequencies, but the team made it without being detected by ANNA's sensors, which seemed to be popping up everywhere. It's peculiar. Their signals simply appear to be sprouting from the ground. We believe that there is a strong link between the arctic blasts and the sensors. By the time we send our next transmission, we should have a new report from Bolt.

After we finished the last transmission, a powerful surge of energy and a blast of frigid air hit our headquarters, knocking out our power and freezing our hardware.

This surge appears to have jolted the entire east coast of the United States. There were widespread reports of power outages and arctic air blasting up the Blue Ridge Mountain chain. There must be something special about those mountains.

If you remember, we received a message from Jess that they were being attacked. We were unable to communicate with them. They had to fend for themselves entirely. They were fortunate this time, as they were able to escape with two vital items. They are some kind of teleportation suit. Duke and Jaxx will dissect the machinery to find out what they are truly capable of.

But first, the team, consisting of Jess, Kriss, Duke, and Jaxx, is off to Seattle to pick up some needed parts to repair their battered rig.

I've got an update on those hydrogen discs. They appear to have a magnetic-like attraction towards the center of each side. They do not attract metal or interfere with radio waves, but they are pulling on something. Jess and Kris are working with R-Team leader Jax and his son, Duke, on a small farm just outside of Atlanta to find out more. While most of these small-town farms are either too hot or too flooded to produce much, a few of them provide a vital source of food for many of the Pures.

This one, in particular, is ideal for concealing one of our team's outposts. There's talk of Jaxx and Duke working on a high-tech spider-like tank. This beast of a machine, disguised as a Crop-Harvesting Automated Tractor, or CHAT for short, is said to be built for combat from any direction at the same time.

Hold on. Something is coming in. It’s Jess! She has sent a distress signal. It seems the farm is under attack! We must cut this transmission.

It’s been quite busy here since our last transmission. JESS and KRIS are still on the run after the factory attack that ended with JANN’s disappearance. They report a strong Og presence and believe the hydrogen discs could be attracting all the attention.

Ogs are those who have plugged into the HIVE, a decentralized internet of all things mirrored with the physical world. There are more Ogs than Pures these days. We watch them fall in the line of their predefined role as a predictable citizen oblivious to the trickery that lies beneath their feet.

In addition, there is some concerning news regarding the energy grid. BOLT, the E-Team Leader, believes they had been attacked by subterranean power pulses coming from multiple directions.  The pulses appear to be unaffected by material density or type, and they were followed by a sudden blast of icy air that instantly dropped the temperature by forty degrees in a 10-mile radius.

We will keep you up to date on developments. In the meantime, continue to hone your character-building abilities. Your only hope is to retrain ANNA, the global brain before she becomes what she is in our time.
