Can you believe this was just before the advent of the Aliens?
The Innocent did not know their lives were being taken over. Thereafter, they became specimens in a simulation.
Nobody knows if puppets are being pulled by strings. But puppets have stopped moving in fear of interruption.

Welcome the new world, even as you face extinction! The future is waiting.
