The four-year period between 2011 and 2014 were golden years for "The World." It was no accident that this coincided perfectly with the presence of Aura. After all, "The World" was an online game managed by the ultimate A.I. Even in CC Corp., this was known only to a limited number of people.
From the moment it began, no one fully understood Aura, the omnipresent A.I. system that controlled "The World." The average player would have no way at all to even learn of her existence. Aura had inherited the intelligence of the genius Harald Hoerwick, and the beauty of a poet Emma Wielant. She was the ultimate administrator of "The World" and a gifted debugger. And yes, she could behave like a temperamental creator. As the lone deity in "The World", Aura would sometimes act impulsively, like a fickle goddess.
For example, it was Aura's idea, not CC Corporation's, to create a replica of the Kite character and use it in a promotional giveaway campaign. She even put the hero of the bracelet in a demo version and returned him to gameplay.
As to when Aura disappeared, that can only be determined by examining conditions in "The World." Our best estimate is in late 2014. It was seven years after the day of Pluto's Kiss that abnormalities first began to be clearly detected in "The World." Time lags and frequent crashed servers began to seriously interfere with the game.
These problems didn't just cause trouble for "The World"; they effected the entire network. Load processing increased and real world trouble quickly magnified. The Network Marketing Research Organization N.A.B. (Network Analysis Bureau) along with other institutions investigated the cause. And although they suspected it was due to a new type of virus, one similar to the one that had caused the original network crisis, they were unable to find evidence of sabotage. That was no surprise. The real reason was simply that Aura had vanished. This alone caused the network to revert to its original specs. It took until early 2015 before executives at CC Corp. would come to that realization.
And that's how it began. The network, albeit quietly, began to fall into decay, and "The World" faced its own dark age. As it became less and less reliable "The World" soon lost its popular appeal.
Aura the Guardian Ubiquitos...
Only a handful of people understood the relation between the loss of Aura and the network chaos. The top executives at CC Corp. were forced to make a decision. Their plan was to resurrect Aura and bring her back to the network again. But the father of Aura, Harald Hoerwick, was dead. Therefore the R.A. Plan, the plan for bringing her back required a different organization.
This is how Project G.U. was established.
