(you bastards weren't doing anything anyways so here's an SCP inspired tale from a few weeks ago)
Somewhere in the unfathomable depths of the multiverse
753 looked at the decidedly non-euclidean terrain around him, the ground stretched out in front of him and across the horizon, where it then apparently stretched out up and above the horizon, then across the sky, then back down to the horizon, the strange walled corridor he was standing in seemed stretch out in every conceivable direction and it was stressing his processors to try and understand how, so he simply stopped trying to figure out how and started walking forward.
He walked for a little bit before realizing that the point where the "sky" met the ground wasn't getting any closer or further, giving him an unpleasant feeling of being in a hamster wheel. He also noted that the "air" around him was slowly becoming more and more energetic, something was coming, so he did the obvious thing and kept walking, silently cursing the featureless walls and floor.
After a time he began to notice patterns appearing and gaining definition not only on the ground under him but on the ground above and around him, though the purpose was not clear until the corridor finally opened up to a massive structure and 753 realized.
"It's...electronic? I seem to be inside some sort of quantum computer...Either I've set my coordinates very poorly or this is a VERY large computer that has long since defeated whatever laws this reality was imposing on it..."
He walked up to the structure and placed a hand on it, which soon turned out to be a mistake as a massive bolt of electricity arced down the structure, instantly destroying the arm and shorting out the associated joint, as he stumbled back in shock he took note of several similar bolts shooting down the walls and across the floor towards him, but a portal caught him and took him away before they reached him. He found himself lying on the floor of his lab, still missing an arm even as the emitters rebooted, realizing that whatever that bolt was had completely atomized his arm to the point where it could no longer reform as normal he got up and marked those coordinates with every red flag his system allowed him to before going to grab a spare arm.
"I think that universe has long since hit it's singularity...perhaps this is what it looks like when a synthetic race "ascends" beyond a physical form, rather than becoming pure energy they turn their entire reality into a giant processor...maybe that reality has always been batshit."
Slotting the spare arm into the joint and moving it around to verify the actuators are working properly, he concludes.
"I don't think it would be safe for me to find out for sure though..."
(well that turned out shitty but whatever, I've been sitting on that for a while now)
