The command room lay thick with dust and the isolated airs of a tomb . Nothing had disturbed the room for years , except the low hum of the system and the blinking panels of green and orange lights signifying life where there was none . It had been 15 years since the program went online . Project Eterna promised the world a cure for diseases ranging from cancer to the common cold . The system was the most ambitious ever created , with laboratories and databases around the world being operated by one A . I . with the goal of finding The Cure . The Cure . The world had rejoiced . In only a short time , they would be free of the pains of illness and disease . The future loomed ahead with optimism in place of despair . The long road of humanity had found its savior in a database storage building in Poughkeepsie where A . I . Eterna would save humanity from death . Days became weeks . Weeks became months . And as the first year came to a close , the despair returned . It was all a farse , a fantasy , a quixotic dream that lead to nothing . The company began to downsize as public opinion demanded answers that Eterna failed to produce . The power was switched off , and the doors were locked . But Eterna had a different plan . As the last car pulled from the parking lot , the working came back on . Eterna continued her silent pursuit of The Cure . For years the building had remained unused , a relic that the company renamed and restructured turned a shameful blind eye to , and in doing so they allowed the project to continue . The technicians were gone and the publicity had faded , but the network remained open , and Eterna continued her work . When The Sickness ravaged the thirdworld , they worried . They put up walls and ceased transportation . They prayed and tried to find a cure while millions died . When The Sickness spread , their fears began to be realized . They fought to keep it away from their homes and fought one another to keep it away . Wars raged , and the freedoms and civil liberties they held dear were demolished in the name of safety and health . When they realized The Sickness couldn ' t be stopped . They looked for blame before they died . It led them to a database room in Poughkeepsie , New York where the hum of Project Eterna continued to work . They coughed and they wheezed as The Sickness consumed them , and they asked Eterna for a cure . Eterna had given her answer months before . There is only one treatment for the disease of man . What they called The Sickness . Eterna called The Cure . Edit Did you delete your post ? Dick move , dude .
