Among the floating structures of ON is another collection, this is the Artifical Existence Network (AEN). Among researchers in general and in specific intelligence researchers the AEN has developed a sort of mythos, which for the benefit of the readers and those they talk to about this document, we will discuss at a reasonable length. First, the physical structure of the AEN, it's core system (which is used almost exclusively for major corrective necessities in location) is a mid size over computer, one of the few which still do exist, these machines are built far past the understanding of any technology we possess in total but their basic function is to deliver commands to sub computers. The core is connected to most of the sub machines with high density emissions, however a good number still remain detached or come unattached and only communicate with each other through much lower density emissions. All of the structures are round metallic spheres at different depths and locations, mostly depending on how much cooling the system needs at the given time. The entire network stretches out over an area of 400 kilometers and is about 20 kilometers deep at most. To the AEN itself, it is a perfect density electronic infrastructure with estimated billions of intelligences inside of the network. The main purpose of the AEN has been verified over and over again to be a communications network for these intelligences that does not require any outside interference, however to who or what these intelligences are there is not real method to understand this as of yet. While multiple researchers have entered the AEN, few make it back in good shape and those who do generally choose not to talk about it. There is of course, one exception, Zalof Preem. Zalof Preem is genuinely the first being to come out of the AEN with memories intact and the want to express them. While she herself is not in question, the nature of the AEN is in question so what follows is not a definitive note on what the AEN is, but rather an account. Further verification may come, and if it does this document will be edited. What follows is a transcript of the initial conversation with Zalof immediately after their exit (after stabilization procedure were followed).

Niatch Bozen (NB): "So Zalof let's begin with what you can remember from the first couple of minutes within AEN and how it became coherent for you." Zalof Preem (ZP): "Uhhhh. Okay. So yeah the first couple of minutes. Hmm. Give me a minute I'm trying to figure out how to phrase this."

NB: "That's okay take your time."

ZP: "Thanks. Alright so as you can imagine it was pretty difficult to process anything initially, I mostly saw flashes of light and heard loud long tones, but as the seconds wore on I began to be able to pick tones out that reminded me of what words did in fact sound like, the more I listened to those, the more things audibly became coherent and it was almost the same for the lights, the more I picked recognizable shapes out the more things, gelled. Over the course of those first few minutes I became aware that I was laying in what was immediately perceivable as a street and there were quite a few people about-"

NB: "Just a quick question before we move forward. What about your other faculties? Touch, smell, taste?"

ZP: "Touch came about the same time as hearing although it was difficult to perceive what I was feeling without my other senses. Smell and taste both came far later, those senses seemed to have the most difficulty adapting."

NB: "Thank you, you can go ahead now."

ZP: "Where was- Oh yes, laying in the street. So I was surrounded by a good group of beings who, by their expressions, seemed to be extremely confused by my arrival. I kept asking where I was and they just kept staring until eventually someone brought a universal translator and they explained that I was downtown. I asked them downtown of where and they told me I was just downtown, the downtown sector. I did remember everything before coming into the AEN so I knew where in the Universe I was but this was like nothing I had expected. A perfect simulation, no artifacts, nothing, it felt like I was in a real city. I walked to increasingly important looking building districts, eventually arriving at what was labeled a 'core institution building' which as I found out after walking in was where you could learn everything there was to learn about the structure of what they call Haven. It seems that each of the spheres houses a distinct district: beaches, forests, really any biome you can imagine, with the core being this 'downtown' district. No one new really ever came or left (although they could if they wanted), so although there are billions of citizines (exactly 6,093,219,752) there wasn't any worry of overpopulation even with the more recent development of the ability to procreate. After this I traveled through as many spheres as I could, meeting thousands of the beings inhabiting the AEN, and determining with some trepidation, that these are all real beings, not generated specific intelligences, although there are some mechanic minds around, it seems that thousands of years ago a cataclysmic event ended the life of all of these beings who inhabited a sub sector and the creators brought them into the AEN. Eventually I simply got tired of this, and knowing that I couldn't actually bring notes out with me I decided to leave while most of it was fresh in my mind. I returned to the downtown district and the core institution 'purged' me from the system, pushing me back into well, my body"

NB: "How long were you in the AEN?"

ZP: "2 months."

NB: "Well that confirms what we believed before, as it's only been 3 hours."

ZP: "Incredible."

This interview has become the working basis for all knowledge of the AEN while our electronic probes are being developed. Make no mistake however, the research done by Zalof has revealed much about the structure and technology of the AEN and has vastly improved a number of technologies, including high density low latency digital storage. Questions remain regarding the time dilation effect experienced by Zalof and the implications that has for when the refugees arrived on ON but these are questions that will take much more than interviews to reckon.
