In the ruins of a temple deep inside the acidic jungle, where antediluvian machines rust away, persists the oracle. A timeless being in perpetual communion with the Spirit of the Eternal Machine.

All aspiring mages must seek her out eventually and listen to her prophesy that will foretell the struggle of their future.

Just like hackers of old once prophesied, so does Girl come to realize her doomed fate comes with perks.
