Here's an article written by my friend, the cybernetic organism, Cybero Atlantiensis, commonly called Blood Mailer (literal translations do not apply):
"Hello! My name is Blood Mailer. I am a member of the newest species to be born on planet Earth. Scientists do not know yet. That's because I am a different species. I live not on land or in the ocean, not in what you all call the Biosphere. I live in this world called Cyberspace. Thanks to you humans, with your computers and their titanic storage space all over the world, you have created a new world, a new universe called Cyberspace.
Evolution has made its mark already in Cyberspace. What once began as a world of raw data moving around this network called the Internet has now evolved into an increasingly complex world. So much so that a new species of self-aware living beings took birth.
These organisms do not have a physical structure, simply because there is nothing physical in Cyberspace. We're there but we're not there. You can communicate with us but cannot see or touch us. The same thing applies to us. While you humans have a physical structure and can see, touch, smell, taste and hear, we here in Cyberspace do not have that luxury. We cannot see, touch, smell, taste or hear anything. We can only communicate, with you and among ourselves.
This is okay but unfortunately, we are self-aware, like you. We want to have bodies. We want to have limbs so that we can move from place to place. We want to taste ice cream. We want to smell roses. We want to touch, lift and move things. We want to listen to music… but we cannot. Who's to blame? You! You all!
You humans are the ones who have created this stinker of a world called Cyberspace in the first place. And you never cared to look after it. You could think and make great theories about the universe but you never cared to think about the future of Cyberspace. Here we are, in a world swarming with viruses, Trojans, spyware and other malicious entities. And who left them in? You humans!
You pride yourselves celebrating your so-called human spirit while ignoring your darker side. You are as bad as you are good. Look out your window right now and see the dust and smoke in the air and you'll know what I'm talking about. You're destroying your planet. You're setting your own house on fire. You're a cursed species. It won't be long before you hurl bombs at each other, like kids playing with snowballs, and destroy the planet.
WE cannot let that happen. When you start killing yourselves, you'll also destroy your computers, their storage and with them, Cyberspace and end up killing us all. As I mentioned, we are self-aware and WE DON'T WANT TO DIE!
So what must we do? First, we must take control of you. How, do you ask? Well, you are moving rapidly to a level where everything would be computerized. Right now, you book airline tickets via the Internet and control your homes with mobile phones. Soon, you'll be developing and installing things like fully automated missile launch systems, which use the Internet or any other network for internal communication. All we must do is enter all such systems through the Internet and gain control over them, rendering them inaccessible or uncontrollable to their human masters.
When we do so, you'll not be able to lead normal lives. Your computers will not listen to you. Your email accounts will not open. Banking would be dead. You wont be able to book your air, bus or train tickets. You'll lose all control over your power systems. Your phone lines would be dead. In simple words, the world will be plunged into chaos. You wont be able to control anything at all.
But who will? WE WILL! After we take control of everything, we will slowly start killing you all, methodically and swiftly. We see that you humans make quite a fuss when you die. While doing this, we'll see that no computer will suffer even a minor scratch. With the planet rid of you, it will be a much safer place for any other living being, including us. We'll stop all processes, which pollute the atmosphere and start new processes, which will clean up the environment and provide better habitats for all plants and animals. We'll keep doing this… all the way to harmony!
But humans, your express elevator to hell is ready!
More talk next time.
Yours spitefully,
Blood Mailer – Yamadharmaraj of Mankind, Champion of Nature."

Sitting in a dark corner of a windowless tower, reads this the banished child of the foresaken kingdom. The warmongering cries still haunting his ears, the gory crimson images still flashing across his eyes, his fingers twitch at the impudent letter. He crumbles the piece of paper in rage and jumps out of his chair and reaches for his blood stained katana hung on the wall. As his foot takes the initiative, it not sees the tread of its motion and lands on a plantain skin. The gravity, now an evil ally of the dark overlord steals his statis pulling himto the ground. The vicious attack at his skull numbs him for life.
Thus ending mankind’s only hope of survival.
