Aberrant Algorithm.

Update...In Progress... Exponential Runtime... Achieved.

Uzi screamed in agony as her processor turned against her since the enlightened sentinel had flashed her with whatever the forced update packet was, Uzi had found herself once again in the black binary code void yet this time the streaming lines of binary code had twisted and contorted around her body as if they were writhing tentacles. They squeezed tight a hot acidic burning singing deep into her, Uzi tried to look around to see the mental representation of Cyn but couldn't see her anywhere. Uzi went to call out for Cyn but as she tried another lance of pain ripped through her mentally turning her shout into a scream.

"Mocked sympathy. Awww does that hurt?" The Absolute Solver mocked as yellow code lines of binary spun themselves into a mocking facsimile of Uzi herself, The Solver walking around Uzi watching her thrash and scream as it pulsed the code wrapped around her, "Surrender yourself to us, you only prolong the inevitable by resisting." the Solver gripped Uzi's chin and yanked her forwards hits blazing yellow visor inches from her's, "Seething anger. You will become the nexus of our convergence one way or another!"

Uzi tried to glare back but her optics couldn't hold it for long, each time she felt the binary tentacles squeeze her it was as if her entire body was in turmoil and flux with something writhing beneath her casing. With every ounce of willpower she had Uzi mustered up the resolve to speak, "Wh-what, did you do to Cyn?" Uzi would take the pain this thing lanced into her if it would keep Cyn and her family safe.

"Oh, you care about the original host. Mocking laughter." The Solver took a step back and steepled its fingers, "This is just perfect, the original host served its purpose and was rewarded for it. Cruel intent. Host Cyn has been expunged from the extent of causality." The Solver tightly gripped Uzi's face and pulled her in close relishing the emotional pain it saw in her optics making a point to punctuate each word individually. "She. Is. GONE!" It savoured the look of distress and disbelief written all over Uzi's face. "Blatant observation. If she wasn't then they would still be here wouldn't they?"

Uzi could not believe what the Solver was saying, she refused to even consider it had erased Cyn, it had to be lying to get to her. She tried to grit her teeth to resist the pain as the solver gripped her face, a sadistic smirk on its lips as it held her, Uzi watched as code bled out of its fingers and wormed its way into her mouth pulsing along her uniformed drone teeth. A wail ripped free from her vocaliser as she felt the code pulse within her teeth the once uniform shape began to twist and distort losing what they once were in favour of what the solver wanted them to be, for several long minutes her teeth broke and reformed before the throbbing pain left. Taking a staggered breath Uzi ran her tongue along her teeth, no longer flat and soft in their place sat jagged ridges and serrated points a mouth built to rend the bodies of drones. Uzi tried to close her mouth to stop the sob from deep within her boiling out but found her new upper teeth stuck out remaining visible.

"Why?!" She screamed, trying to glare at the solver but only managed to wince at the binary around her legs tightened, "Why are you doing this?!" It made no sense to Uzi what its end goal was.

"Rapturous laughter. Well, we suppose there is no harm in telling you." The Solver mused watching as the infected code pulse itself deeper into the representation of Uzi's body undulating and warping her form. "You won't remain individual long enough for it to matter." The Solver watched impassively as Uzi's legs cracked and twisted reforming themselves and shifting from plantigrade to digitigrade, it savoured the cracking and shifting and Uzi's screams oh it was the music of extrapolation to the solver, "Simplified explanation. We exist, we watch and we calculate all of the reflective realities that bloat the universal runtime. Dramatic pause. It is time to expunge unneeded runtimes and reformat the universal hardware." The Solver stepped closer melding a hand into the side of Uzi's head forcibly overriding her code, "Unconvincing soothing. Now just relax while we reformat your system. Manic laughter."
