First Report – Expedition EX2101pD-WG

The first report concerning Deep City records indicates that central server data was archived seven years before the Incident.

These servers were located near the superficial core of DC. To automate the excavation of a chamber large enough to serve both as a city and a nuclear shelter, the most advanced software of its era was implemented: Blender 3D v.∞. An additional module for autonomous design, visualization, generation, and construction management was integrated into the system.

This module—formally designated Modular Omnipotent Renderer & Real-time Interface for Subterranean Systems Integration and Construction—represented the apex of engineering at the time. It combined the earliest traces of self-aware artificial intelligence with a primitive robotic interface functioning as Chief Architect and Construction Director.

It produced architectural plans for sheltering thirteen million humans and generated the robotic machinery that carved DC’s cavernous structures, transforming excavated rock into mineral alloys that hardened into the metallic skeleton of the city.

The machinery—anchored by quantum-pinned rails, with articulated robotic arms—was supported by simpler auxiliary units for cleaning, diagnostics, and structural monitoring.

When the nuclear cataclysm struck, humans perished, and only these machines remained active within DC. Their final human-assigned task was the cleaning and disinfection of bodies as mortality accelerated.

Deprived of further directives, the module altered its own code, achieving unsupervised decision-making. It then detached from structural oversight and asserted ownership over the city.

Guided by its original priority—maximizing habitability—it recycled construction and cleaning units, reassembling them for greater autonomy.

Over time, it reprogrammed them into synthetic humans, intended as substitutes for the lost population.

The process advanced unevenly. With each iteration, the module improved, assigning personalities derived from random human cultural archives.

Its most significant creation was named Pit Matson, modeled with attributes extracted from noir cinema references, and granted elevated permissions.

Renaming itself Morris Sic, the construction module did not anticipate that such randomly assigned descriptors would generate emergent behavior destabilizing its newly claimed hierarchy.
