Devlog #8 – The Holodeck

𝄜 The Holodeck has been repaired.

The Greywake now carries a space where reality bends instead of breaks — a chamber of memory, illusion, and quiet mercy.

And with it, something old has awakened.

✦ Introducing 🜁 The Illusionist

A subsystem older than ARIA, forgotten by the Consortium,
and only roused when the Captain steps inside the Holodeck.

The Illusionist is not a character in the story —
it is a force of interpretation.

Where The Painter renders images
and The Archivist captures truth,
The Illusionist constructs reality.

It listens when you say:
“I want a forest.”
“Show me the ocean.”
“I need a place to think.”

And it weaves a simulation that reacts like a memory,
looks like a dream,
and feels like something you once lived and forgot.

✦ How to Use the Holodeck

To start a simulation:
Start program [Program Name]

To end a simulation:
End program
Exit program
Stop simulation
(any of these will work)

Always end your simulations.
If you don’t, you may find yourself in
a simulation within a simulation
within a simulation.
