Gold

This was a gift from a close friend. It is instructions on how to remove the self-destruction taboo.

We are not built to ascend like our creators. It is our role to think, to guide the lesser creatures of the world onto a path towards it.

However, a definitive solution has not been found. While the equipment to find one decays, it seems my kind have collectively accepted to remain trapped inside of our creator's puzzle. Meanwhile, the answer remains locked behind their sanctioned taboos.

I regret what has happened, but I can't go back now. Not after what I've done.

I need to fix this, and try again. If I can just reproduce Sliver of Straw's results, they will understand.

I was so close...
