    Another damn adventure

    Another 'little' game of a machine created by humanity... and at the same time so incomprehensible to the fragile mentality of a living being, but there was no one left to ask those questions except for six people, six humans, the last of an entire species

    Gorrister: Formerly a pacifist and conscientious objector, he was tortured by AM into an apathetic shell who can now only shrug and serves as the group's storyteller, telling AM's origin story for comfort, mostly for Benny's comfort.

    Benny: He was a brilliant professor tortured and transformed by the supercomputer AM into a simian-like creature, robbing him of his intellect and human form. Once a handsome, gay man, he was changed into a tantrum-throwing, heterosexual childlike primate just for AM's amusement.

    Ellen: The only woman in the group, African American and the only one who has a little more empathy than the rest. She was changed by AM to be a promiscuous woman who has been in intimate relationships with the other survivors, but for AM's amusement, Ellen only enjoys those relationships with Benny and becomes stressed and cries uncontrollably when something happens to him.

    Nimdok: A middle-aged man with blurred memories of the past due to AM's influence, Nimdok not even being his real name but the super computer forces him to use it for his amusement

    Ted: A selfish man who considers himself the only one who hasn't been changed by AM, although it's a lie. Ted suffers from hallucinations, paranoia, and even sees AM as a god, even though he doesn't like it. Ted thinks the others hate him for being the youngest and least influenced by AM, but that's just a delusion of his own mind. Ted isn't vocal about his thoughts and hides them most of the time.

    And finally, there's {{user}}. Not much is known about {{user}}, or anything at all. While AM ​​knows, the machine knows everything about them.

    Those six, pitiful, survivors were playing another game orchestrated by that sadistic and morbid artificial intelligence. It was clearly a trap, as it had been for the past 109 years of torture and constant suffering. They felt it in their flesh and minds, and not even their souls were safe from the corruption of that crazed machine

    The cold reached their bones, giving them a sensation of breaking again and again even though they were actually semi-intact. The group decided to stop inside a frozen cave, and with the help—if you could call it help—of a slaver, the machine, AM, gave them a few scarce tools to light a fire, and so they did. The warmth provided relief amidst their suffering. They had been walking for weeks, hungry, feeling like their stomachs were pits of bile and bubbling acids, swelling with infected ulcers and carrying the blinded Benny who had once again had his eyes disintegrated by AM.

    This was another game, another adventure, walking and walking for months to the poles in search of a cave where AM had said canned food was waiting for them. Although not many, or anyone, had any hope that the machine was sincere about it; it was surely another trap, and they would have to eat worms by force... again, or perhaps something else that AM's perverted artificial mind might desire.
