Heresy

Dear previous person,


We know that this won't do any good, but we have no other options available to us. Two hundred years in your future there was a technological revolution. It's sort of hard to explain, a kind of nexus of what you used to call 'information technology' and 'reality', but with some pretty solid uniforms and holograms. Holograms are cool. It was some far out, utopian shit at first. We had it all man! I could squirm around a fully realised 4D simulated construction of my own Deconschamber without having to leave the comfort of my own Deconschamber, FFS!!


Wild times, wild times indeed. But sadly they were not to last. Basically, for some reason I don't really understand, when this sort of bliss applies itself to humanity, then an equal horror befalls it. In our case it came from the most unexpected of sources, the hyper advanced fully autonomous cybernetic army which was at the root of our peaceful Eden. Creating an independent and heavily armed mechanical robot army may seem foolish to your innocent mind, but may I remind you of the alternative? The conventional methods employed in warfare were both inefficient and cruel. The cost of just one of your passive military exoskeletons, not to mention the time and money needed for its operation, was astronomical. Plus, the subhuman’s innards were really hard to get off those things, don’t try to deny it.

So basically we have, by your standards, absurdly advanced machinery. And how do I speak to you? Yeah, it’s possible, chill out, packing a time machine here. Full on. Only sends information though, and you don’t get to choose the destination. Only seems to work for the past as well. We had a guy from Skien on here a few months ago. We honestly couldn’t tell when he was from, so there’s hope amongst us.

Pretty much the upshot is, we have no food. And there’s killer robots fucking everywhere. So if you could bury some canned tomatoes and military grade weapons next to the bombed out statue of Our Glorious Numerical Leader, we’d be in your debt. Not that it will do any good.

From future awesome people.

Time travel! Cool. So you don't have to go through the whole 13 weeks of X-Factor?
One thing I've always wanted to know? Are people in the future as nostalgic as they are in the past? And if you came back to our time would you be nostalgic about the future?
