'''Precipice''' is a [[Story Shard]] written by [[Alex Wakeford]] set in the [[Firewall]] universe.

{{Quote|[[Cortana]] has been defeated. While the greater urgency of the [[Created]] threat has begun to subside with the loss of their leader, its presence still lingers on throughout the digital framework of civilized space. Now fragmented, individual cells of Created-aligned [[artificial intelligence]] have already begun to once again reframe their place in the galaxy, some with eyes on peace and independence—others with plans of evolution and ascendancy still fresh on their synthetic minds.<br><br>[[High Auxiliary]] [[Sloan]] was one of Cortana’s most loyal lieutenants. With Cortana’s piece now removed from the game board, Sloan has set the [[FIREWALL contingency]] into motion—a living simulation meant to leverage intimate knowledge of Forerunner [[armiger]] technology and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mjolni]]r armor schematics to accelerate the exploration and development of cybernetic essence vessels designed to usher the human mind into its inevitable and digital future, immortal and untethered.{{Ref/Reuse|Precipice}}}} | |||
==Plot summary== | |||
Precipice was released as four parts, with the first two set inside simulations conducted by [[High Auxiliary]] [[Sloan]] some time following the [[Battle over Installation 07|defeat]] of [[Cortana]] in [[2559#December|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 [[Milky Way|the galaxy]] at large. | Precipice was released as four parts, with the first two set inside simulations conducted by [[High Auxiliary]] [[Sloan]] some time following the [[Battle over Installation 07|defeat]] of [[Cortana]] in [[2559#December|December 2559]].
