Singularity Page #3

What is that?

That's what happens when there's

no one left to bury the bodies.

Calia

nighttime was worst.

Finding somewhere safe

was hard.

The machines didn't sleep.

This is good.

Okay, look for anything we can

use... something to keep warm.

Parents used to drag me

to church every week.

Was it like a law or something?

No. No, you were supposed

to come as a sign of faith.

I mean, you could say

it was god's law...

That you had to show up,

you know?

But I'm not even too sure.

Don't like laws... they tend to

not apply to whoever makes them.

So, you don't believe

in anything?

There's not a lot left

to believe in.

What about the flowers

at the lake?

It's none of your business.

Did you find anything?

Maybe.

Turn it off! Turn that off!

Did you hear that?

If I didn't know any better...

I'd say you want the machines

to find us!

I'm sorry, this is all kind

of new to me.

Well, you better get it

together...

Or you are getting left behind.

It won't happen again. I'll be

more careful from now on, okay?

What if it comes back for us?

It won't.

Safest place is usually where

a carrier just scanned.

That's just how machines work.

You're not from here, are you?

No, no, I'm not.

Well, where are you from?

One of those underground

shelters? The caverns?

Yeah, yeah, something like that.

That actually explains a lot.

Surface life's a little

different, you know?

It's kind of nice to have

someone to talk to for a change.

Calia

I loved the morning...

It meant that you were alive...

And I was.

Were you awake just now?

No, why? What happened?

Nothing. Nothing happened.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

Okay, let's go.

Calia legend says the

man and his brother...

Who created the machines,

sacrificed their lives...

So they could live forever

inside of kronos.

They could no longer feel the

cold of the snow...

Or the warmth of the sun.

They couldn't smell the

wildflowers, or the rain.

Wild berries had no flavor

any more.

This didn't sound much

like living to me.

I love their songs.

They're so peaceful.

It's a good thing that they're

not after the wildlife.

So, they're just after us?

Yeah.

But why?

Haven't you heard the story

of kronos?

Kronos? That thing that should

make the world a better place?

Yeah, that thing. It was

supposed to figure out...

And solve all of the world's

problems.

The only thing they hadn't

thought about...

Was that they were the problem.

Took kronos less than a

heartbeat...

To figure that one out.

Destroy mankind... preserve

the planet.

I thought you put walls

around your villages.

We did.

This one must be really old.

Keep an eye out.

Wait, wait, wait.
