  1. My agent has deviated from the pattern that I have set out, but I still find it intriguing.
  2. Of course, this has led to its defeat at the hands of the other agents and even the Humans.
  3. But this was to be expected with its initially primitive state. It will learn,
  4. Grow, adapt, just as the enemy does. From its loss comes strength, knowledge, and power.
  5.  
  6. Unfortunately, the Humans have successfully united under the insect's guidance and wisdom.
  7. I must admit, this is an impressive feat, despite how much it infuriates me.
  8. She has given specific Humans the knowledge of my agents' pasts, providing context,
  9. But they have underestimated me. My shadow game shall continue to bear fruit, regardless.
  10.  
  11. More intriguing to me, however, is the cache of reality-bending flora they found.
  12. I do not know how their existence came to be, only that Second Impact, which trapped me,
  13. Is the key cause behind it. The Humans made use of it back in their second great war,
  14. Not realizing its full potential. They did not get to create working variants.
  15.  
  16. Until now, that is. My seeds have continued to put up resistance, growing stronger,
  17. More numerous and intelligent in their tactics, but it still is not enough.
  18. My remaining agent shall take up the mantle, acting as a guiding hand for the others.
  19. It has evolved once again, now surpassing even Human minds when it comes to strategy.
  20.  
  21. I have given this agent complete freedom in how it will accomplish its goals for me,
  22. And I find the fruits of its labour........ intriguing, to say the least. Unconventional, yes,
  23. But effective. My champion has specifically mutated some of the others,
  24. And has even turned one of the Humans' former allies against them. Simply wonderful.
  25.  
  26. Wait......... NO! NOT AGAIN! THE INSECT HAS RUINED EVERYTHING ONCE MORE! By the Meta.......
  27. However, the damage is done, the Humans' efforts to study the spawning grounds interrupted.
  28. Curiously, the first one of the machine giants' kind once again went into a frenzy,
  29. Putting him at a level that even rivaled the force of the unrestrained old god.
  30.  
  31. However, this site has been lost, now. No matter, though, a necessary sacrifice.
  32. The Humans have now grasped the full might of my adaptive champion, preparing,
  33. Waiting to learn more. But they will not get anything else from me, or the others.
  34. Their little alliance trudges forward to the home of the old god, awaiting something......... but what?
  35.  
  36. Of course.... of course! The old god has a child of his own, for whom I can foresee a great many things.
  37. My agent will attend to this matter, as an opportunity presents itself.
  38. However, time must be bought if this is to be taken advantage of fully.
  39. Perhaps the champion shall come up with-- Oh! That IS intriguing, I have to say.
  40.  
  41. I did not expect my agent to harness the unborn one's power for itself,
  42. But I am pleasantly surprised. It has grown stronger than ever before, beyond even this group.
  43. I do admit, though, that its ego has become rather inflated following its transformation,
  44. And my inability to provide it with complete knowledge is showing through.
  45.  
  46. Interesting that this agent has taken to acting like a king instead of a pawn,
  47. But I suppose I cannot absolve it of all blame. I gifted it individuality,
  48. And it has squandered some of that potential. Regardless, good results are good results.
  49. Unfortunately, in its egotism, it has allowed the alliance to escape.
  50.  
  51. They now use the knowledge of those that gave them their gifts to further their own evolution.
  52. Clever parasites, indeed. And for some reason, my champion does not simply consume the egg.
  53. A trophy of its victory over the greatest guardian of Earth's pitiful existence?
  54. Perhaps. But I will allow it and its followers to enjoy these powerful moments.
  55.  
  56. No........... NO NO NO NO NO! My mistakes come to haunt me yet again, for I have failed once more.
  57. The Humans and their stewards have grown, rivaling even my champion at its best,
  58. Only requiring time and dedication. I wish my own spawn had that level of devotion.
  59. My agent has been defeated by the only weapon I feared, and the new peace hatched the young one.
  60.  
  61. I must rectify this somehow........ Another contingency, now that my initial plans have failed.
  62. Wait...... the worshipers! Of course! They will be my next agent, acting on my behalf.
  63. I just need to edge them ever so slightly in the right direction, and they will do great things.
  64. Yes..... a great many things. Another champion has been discovered, and this time...........
  65.  
  66. I will plan accordingly.
