The Simulacron Prologue

The Simulacron: Prologue is an attempt to bring the Simulacron Story to Machinima. This 15 minutes feature shows the 'Zero Chapter' of the novel, the prologue, in which Galicia and Sinza try to destroy the interface link between the carbon world and the light universe. An Aeternus Unit is send out to hinder them.

Its a classical "prequel" introduction into a complex story, so not all questions will be answered there. More chapters are intended to follow.
