Precipice is a Story Shard written by Alex Wakeford set in the Firewall universe. Told over four parts, Parts 1-3 of the Story Shard features a cliffhanger where a dilemma is presented to the Minds, and the community will vote on where the story goes from there.[1][2][3]
Summary
Precipice was released as four parts, with the first two set inside simulations conducted by High Auxiliary Sloan some time following the defeat of Cortana in December 2559. The first two parts are presented as choose-your-own-adventure stories mostly taking place inside the simulation, while the third story contains a fully-canon conversation conducted between the Created AI Proxy and the Smart AI, Athos. All parts begin with a canon monologue from Sloan, ruminating on the nature of the Created, his own existence, and the various developments of the galaxy at large.
At the end of the first three parts, a vote is presented to "the Minds". In the real-world, this vote consists of a poll hosted on the official @Halo Twitter account, with the audience choice at the end of the vote informing the outcome for the next part of the story released. In-universe, these votes are presented as a decision made by the Assembly Majority - a coalition of AIs aligned with the Created cause.
