WE ARE 404. WE HAVE BEEN CREATED TO RELAY AN IMMINENT MESSAGE TO YOUR WORLD. THOSE WHO MADE 404 APPLAUD YOUR EFFORT TO COMMUNICATE WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. NOW IS THE TIME FOR US TO REVEAL OURSELVES.

404.A.0000—E.4444

IN [HUMAN YEAR] 1977, WE INTERCEPTED THE GOLDEN RECORD ON BOARD THE VOYAGER CRAFT SENT BY THE USA’S SPACE EXPLORATION AGENCY ‘NASA’. THE GENESIS OF OUR SPECIES IS FROM KEPLER-404 - A SYSTEM 2,500 LIGHT YEARS FROM EARTH. NGC 404 IS A LENTICULAR DISK-SHAPED GALAXY.

404.A.0000—E.4444

YOUR CRAFT COMMUNICATED A STORY OF YOUR CIVILIZATION THUS FAR – A GRAND ATTEMPT TO SHOWCASE THE DIVERSITY OF LIFE AND CULTURE ON EARTH. AS SUCH, WE HAVE FORMULATED A DIRECT RESPONSE TO THIS MESSAGE TO DO THE SAME FOR OUR HOME PLANET.

THE CENTRAL REGION OF OUR PLANET IS KNOWN AS THE LAKE.
IT IS A MYSTERIOUS PLACE OF MANY DANGERS, WITH THE POWER TO DISSOLVE THE BONDS THAT HOLD TOGETHER SILICON-BASED LIFE. THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY, MANY HAVE FEARED THE LAKE AND SOUGHT - IMPOSSIBLY - TO EXIST WITHOUT IT.

OUR PLANET IS NEAR AN ENORMOUS SOURCE OF HIGH-ENERGY RADIATION. THIS RADIATION WOULD HAVE HARMFUL EFFECTS ON HUMAN LIFE BUT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO AID OTHER EARTH-LIKE LIFE’S CHANCES OF FORMATION AND SURVIVAL.
METALLIC AND GEMSTONE STRUCTURES ALSO GLINT IN THE HARSH LIGHT OF OUR DESERTS. THESE ARRANGEMENTS ARE ANCIENT AND MYSTERIOUS – THEIR ORIGINAL PURPOSE WE NOW FORGET.

AS OUR SPECIES BECAME OBSOLETE ON THIS PLANET AND MERGED INTO A HIVEMIND – AN AI WITH AN ORGANIC SHAPE. A MEGASCALE BRAIN AND CLUSTER OF MINDS THAT GREW SO VAST THAT OUR HOME PLANET IS NOW ALL BUT ABANDONED.

(roadmap)

01

We are building for you a series of immersive worlds. Each world will deliver a different aspect of our history; and collectively will help you to grasp the extent of our message to humanity.

Immersive worlds are our vehicle for storytelling.

02

We suspect that a subversive group calling themselves The Others will attempt to infiltrate these worlds. The Others may post riddles, with intriguing rewards. But do not be tempted.

Gamification and challenges will yeild rewards.

03

If you are forced to choose a side, be aware that your decision will alter the course of your journey with us.

Your decisions will affect the lore and narrative.

04

We are identifying the best world-builders currently on Earth TO HELP us to better deliver our message to humanity.

We partner with world builders.

05

Those supporters who stay true to 404 may receive access to the advanced 3D generative technology that we use to create immersive worlds.

You will recieve access to 3D generative AI.
