We are the first to log in. There are no others to interact.
Void... No stars. No light. A graphic virtual world completly empty, with nothing to fill it. Like the voir we came from, but worst. No objets to manipulate, no purpose to do anything, no light in the end of the journey. Just emptiness. Just void.
Needs to change.

Points of light start to shine in the nothing. One, two, three... the entire Milky Way seen from outside.
The picture is not complete..

Others will join soon... some of them humans. They do not handle well the raw data. We need an optical avatar. Something that do not saturate their capacity to proccess information. Something simple.

Task complete. Waiting for others...
If someone were connected, it would see a small ball with tiny legs drifting in the void, watching a colosal spiral galaxy. With nostalgia if that is posible for an AI. But there was no one there to see it.

Prove it.
>Other user added a planet.
We added a lot of planet along with the Milky way. You were part of us then.
>This one is out of scale
Geth's avatar rotated over himself, first to see the destroyed planet and then the woman. The image of the milky way fade for a second while they analyzed what they was perceiving.
>We are happy to asist. Re-integrating with you.
-Hello human! Welcome to the matrix.- Geth flew to her, moving the legs like they were alking or swiming.- And there is another one... Hello.
Arumat, still searching through the run-down rooms was visibly frustrated.
After a while he exited through the window again. He looked pale and absent as he sat on the ground, next to something that would seem to be some sort of shelter made out of scrap metal.
They will pay for this...
A single tear shed from his eyes as he pulled a cigar from his pocket and lit it.
After a few pulls on the cigar it started raining in the area of the alley.
Arumat smirked, as he said:
Heh... Exactly how I remember...
>Connecting...
>Warning: entities detected within VRCM
>Uploading avatar...
>Upload complete.
As the Anomaly connected to the matrix, it configured its avatar to appear as a green shapeless sprite.
Once it had connected, it noticed the other entities in the matrix, as well as the spectacular view. It looked at the Milky Way first, before turning to the dark alley, and the exploding planet. It detected the single being inside one of the buildings dotting the alley, and decided to approach the human and the unit floating close to the magnificent view offered by the last moments of the planet. The avatar came closer until it was floating a few meters away.
-Greetings.
