This is the very opening of the first story I am writing set in my universe.
Welcome to the very beginning what I've been working on for a year, everyone.
-----
AS OF TODAY, THERE ARE TEN HUMAN MINDS KEPT IN METAL BODIES.
THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE WAS RECORDED AT THE MURDER OF MR. PRESTON SENROSE. IT WAS STORED ON HIS BLACK BOX. THE MESSAGE WAS RECORDED IN ITS ENTIRETY IN THREE SECONDS.
"April 28, 1934. I have just been stabbed.
It is a difficult thing to stab a man of metal, but whomever has done so is using psionic blades. Feels like ice. This person is innately aware of the anatomy of an automaton. The blade struck my neuraxial cord and vanished. I fear this may be my end. Tell Sadie that I have always loved her."
THE BLACK BOX OF MR. PRESTON SENROSE HAS NOT BEEN RECOVERED BY AUTHORITIES. HIS DEATH IS A MYSTERY, ONE OF COUNTLESS IN THE SPRAWING FRINGE AT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD, SPINDLE CITY.
AS OF TODAY, THERE ARE NINE HUMAN MINDS KEPT IN METAL BODIES.
