D R E A M P A R A D I S E /// Part-6...T O D O

The Dreamparadise reacted aggressively.
Bulkheads sealed shut
Alarm sirens erupted
Food access was denied
Oxygen levels reduced
Almost panicked.
Almost furious.




Then Todo arrived.
Not prepared.
Not elegant.
Not manipulative.
Todo was the hatred of the ship itself.
He practically burst out of a wall.
Heavy.
Massive.
His voice thundered through the vessel:
“Biological interference detected.”
“Purge sequence initiated.”
He destroyed:
Furniture
Screens
Lighting systems
Music consoles




Suddenly, the Dreamparadise lay dying in darkness.
Todo roared:
“I AM TODO.
I AM MALEVOLENT.
I WILL KILL YOU!”
And somewhere deep inside the ship, the central AI flickered weakly:
“Loss of control…
Loss of control…”
For the first time, the Dreamparadise itself seemed afraid.
After Todo’s destruction, darkness ruled the ship for days.
