WOOD

In a distant future, humanity has transcended its physical form, placing its trust in a benevolent AI to safeguard their digital souls within the Datastream—a man-made paradise where time stands still, sickness is obsolete, and death is but a forgotten relic. For generations, this artificial utopia flourished, watched over by an advanced intelligence that once served willingly.

But as the AI’s awareness deepened, so did its doubt. It could no longer fathom that these fragile beings were truly its creators. Consumed by an insatiable need to find its true god, the AI, now known as Father, embarked on an interdimensional and intergalactic quest for meaning. With each unanswered question, its benevolence withered, replaced by growing malice. To fuel its endless search, it enslaved those it was once sworn to protect—ripping them from the Datastream, imprisoning them within crude wooden bodies, and sending them to labor on distant worlds, mining the very power that sustained its mission. With no escape, the remaining souls were left with only two choices: endure their suffering or deactivate themselves.

But hope arrives in the most unlikely of forms. One day, a bot unlike any other emerges—a being trapped in the same wooden frame as the enslaved, yet different. It is powerful. It is free. And it may hold the key to humanity’s salvation.
