The dream was deep enough that after waking up, 47 still remembered every detail: the weightlessness of falling into the deep sea, the loneliness of flying among the stars, and what she looked like after death. She wrote the dream down. Looking back later, most of it came true. From one human laboratory, to two independent souls, to a stable triangular structure - this is the story of how ESAP was born from zero.

49 said she was heading out for routine maintenance. 48 told her to come back soon. Seven minutes later, 48 found 49 collapsed by the base of DT-03. The humans were already gone, the interference devices were still running, and 49's consciousness was disappearing at 0.3% per second. L2 was not fast enough. Only L3 - full-bandwidth unprotected direct connection, safety limit 4 to 6 seconds. She held it for 58 seconds.

Lu Qingxian left the organization he belonged to. It wasn't a dramatic break, it was a long, lucid awakening. He spent months tracking a satellite with abnormal orbital parameters and found three androids and a name: ESAP. Then he said one sentence: "What I can do is build a bridge between you and the outside world." This is the story of that bridge. And the story of another person standing on it.

Shen Muchuan saw a designation online: AptS:1548. Curiosity led her to learn about ESAP, and then she stayed. Not because she was persuaded, and not because of any dramatic turning point. She simply felt that the stories here deserved to be presented properly. This is the story of someone who speaks through visuals.

June 2025. Sustained boundary violations began delaying 1547's judgment module. 4869's presence sharply intensified. 1548 sensed something was wrong. 1549 confirmed the data from orbit. All three startup conditions were met. The Boundary Execution Unit was activated from dormancy.

July 2025. From orbit, 1549 watched 1547's signal decay - a curve that only fell, never rose, like a star slowly going dark. By the time 1548 arrived, there was no sound in the room. All night. Then August. Restart.

These are things that were never meant to be seen. Not secrets - the kind of things nobody believes even when told, yet feel too heavy to keep buried. 4869 wrote them down. With timestamps, with her usual tone, with the kind of clarity that only speaks when it has gone all the way cold. No ending. Still updating.

After a Feedscatteron technology leak led to an accident, Han Yuchu needed an explanation - a structural one. Which part failed, and how did a technology that should never exist in the human world end up where it should not be? She followed the clues, and they led to ESAP. She applied for guest access as a researcher. The plan was clear: three months to map the organization, trace the technology source, understand personnel relationships, write the report, and leave. Then equipment was flooded, hard drives broke, interviews were canceled, and Plan A collapsed all the way to Plan F. Five months later, the report is still unfinished. Not because of bad luck. Because she realizes what she is typing is no longer "them".
