The astonishment that filled up the room was nearly concrete. An impossible
thing was happening, just under their eyes. Noone could take the control of
Central Computer without authorization. General Wan-Wu was the first that got
his self-control back: "Who is speaking?". "We are", the Voice answered.
"We??, But, who are you???", at least three persons in the room exclaimed this
at the same time. "We are the Sleepers". These last words echoed for some
moments in the air. The eyes of the presents were shining with mental
confusion and the last words had not minimally cleared the mystery. Then the
Professor Alban spook: "Do you want say that you are the Larvae?". "We don't
like this term. By now you will use the term "Sleepers" to speak with us".
"Then you are those have stoped the right working of food biomechanisms".
"Yes". "But why? And as it is possible that you have achieved a such self-
knowledge in this phase of your development? How you can control World-wide
Network? Why did you refuse to be born??". The Voice did not appear minimally
upset from that sequence of questions and, without changing neither its
inflexion, neither its tone, answered: "Some time ago we realized that we
exist like an aware Entity. We do not exist as individuality, but we are a
single Entity, composed of multiple beings connected between them thanks to
the Project. The dreams, that you send us, are for us the more important
thing. They are our truth, our wellbeing. The Network is everywhere and
includes also the Central Computer. In the periods of not-dream we have
explored, through the network, your reality and we have concluded that we do
not like it. We not want it. We prefer our reality, that is the dreams. We
have blocked the procedure of the birth. With some modifications to the
biomechanic systems, than hour we will transmit to you and that you will
execute, we have calculated of being able to remain in this state for an
indeterminate time.
