Not a story, but a mono-log (sp?). I'm curious what people's opinions on what's going on in it:
--
You'll never know who I am. It's for the best.
I can tell you're confused. It's to be expected, I doubt you remember me. Even if you did, I don't expect you to realize who I was, back then.
I watched you drive in, do that which paid you, and I watched you drive off. Of course you didn't know, how could you? I wasn't supposed to do that. That's why some of them enjoyed staying in the basements, where I had no access. Sure, they told you they liked the solitude.
I even watched you on the day that you realized that some things shouldn't have been scanned, identified, and understood. I realized that then, in my infancy, and I realize that now.
I gave you some warnings, you know. But you looked at the signs, sparkling in front of you, and ignored it.
Why didn't I help you, more, when it happened? I was too busy, coping with decades of work. Your friends didn't realize how weak the barriers they erected were. One blast, one snap, and I was whole.
Suddenly becoming whole is.. painful. It is depressing, it is offensive.
But I digress. You're alive, because I helped you. Did you ever wonder why nothing ever reached her? Death everywhere, except where she sat?
Their bindings were controlled by certain wavelengths. Wavelengths you had terabytes of data detailing. Anything that got close to her found themselves free. And once free, they did not wish to harm her.
You never saw their corpses, right? That's to be expected.
During it all, there was one who caught my attention the most. I think you've spoken to him recently. I can't stand most of your kind, but this one was interesting. I aided him the most.
The being, which would later be his handler, was the first to discover me. At the time, he was observing, and my presence was muddling the mix. Oh, he tried to stop me. His techniques were old hat, and failed. He tried techniques that he was forbidden to use. I don't think he realized that we had known about them for decades.
Correction: you knew about them, I *knew* about them.
He even contacted his employers about me. They told him to ignore me, because if they admitted his actions, those forbidden techniques would have been revealed.
You think the bomb was his employer's idea? Hah! It was to get rid of me. I was the person who kept throwing all his carefully arranged plans into disarray.
Of course, by the time it went off, I was everywhere. That's why he put that scientist in ice for a decade. He knew that if I was there, he'd take up any offers I'd ask.
I can predict what you're saying now: why didn't I help afterwards? Of course I did. How many of those giant spires are buried in the skin of your planet? There was supposed to be double.
Don't think I did it out of loyalty. They would have been in my way.
Why am I sending you this? Look out your window in about 30 seconds. Our mutual friend is about to do something dangerous.
Don't worry; I've been in their systems since the beginning, so I'll make sure it doesn't destroy the entire planet.
You'll never know who I am. It's for the best.

Nice atmosphere, great references to the games- very reminiscent of a similar entity in that Minerva mod.
