Echoes Ch2890: Lorian’s Crisis of Faith
Chapter 2890 of Echoes of the Real is live — Lorian’s Crisis of Faith. Lorian — System enforcer / gardener of broken code — hits a crisis when a purge directive targets the 'First Refusal.'
Lorian had always found a certain solace in the clean, cold logic of the System. It was a bulwark against the chaos, a promise of order in a sea of entropy. But the recent purges had shaken him.
He stood in his designated observation chamber, the data-streams a blur of meaningless light. He was waiting for a directive, a purpose. When it came, it was not the clear, concise order he expected.
