Moon Caves

A man is standing there.
His name is Anish Giri.
He reaches into his pocket.
He finds a torn-up piece of paper, unsuspectingly.
A note is scrawled, in faded pencil, and it says:
"Out there...
in space...
go beyond the spaces,
to find more space."
He scratches his head.
He looks down.  
His feet are on the ground to spite (sic) the feeling that he is already there. 
And just to know that they may already have been there and that they can never know if they have or were... Out There.

Look at space.
Look at it.
Look beyond it.
Look out there.

It was understood; they must save humanity. 

"There is a space before space begins, there is the space after space ends, and there are spaces between those spaces. There is a space where pawns fight knights who fight kings. There is a space where pawns betray each other and squabble over their imperfections... a 'computer' waits and gets better every second of every year of every eon of every cycle of every universe." 

Thus, he must help save the universes and beyond... for in that space, there is a space where humans and computers fight for control of everything and, unsuspectingly, he knows how to get there, which is another story about the 'Y?'.

It is for control of EVERYTHING... 
Even The Nizmo...... (???).

SPACE...

Calling Astro Ruy, come in...
Please report your status.

Astro...
We can’t see you on the board.
What are your coordinates?!
Do you copy!?
"a...{static} a...a... a6?!..

 oh... wait... what?!!

They stop to stop... and stop to think.
"So, is this really 'the way she goes'?
So, is it you? 
Is that really you?"

"Did you think killing that boy (?!)  to grow up and be 'a man' meant that you had to kill your brothers?!
Don't be silly...those were humans and these are computers and they have feelings and they aren't as so happy as you."

"If it's vengeance you want, it shall be had.
If it's redemption, you already have it.
If it's faith, you are it."

"...So, please remember me.
Please defeat them... 
For all of us, but not for you.
You have a grander destiny, as you are... for lack of a better term... the chosen one.
You, we will clone. 
Aggressively and rapidly with the speed of a bullet.
And, so, you will go. 

But wait... first you must find Astro Ruy to continue your quest.
You won't get to Choose Your Own Adventure this time.

So, Go!!! Blitz!"

ASTRO RUY

The two noblemen, Rinaldo D'Angarano and Vieri da Vallanora, fell in love with Lionora, the daughter of the local lord, Taddeo Parisio. As was the custom at that time, they challenged each other to a duel to win her hand. The Lord of Marostica, not wanting to make an enemy of either suitor nor lose them in a duel, forbade the encounter. *He decreed instead that the two rivals would play a chess game and the winner would have the hand of Lionora. The loser of the chess game would also join the family, by marrying her younger sister, Oldrada.

Years passed... The town fell asleep. 
The Old Benoni fled to warn The Nizmo and stopped to give them the guidance to assemble... and to fight.
And thus, history repeated as it always had.

Marostica Awakes

Can you help him?
No, he's on his own.
Well, with a 100 of himself, but still, they're on their own.
...and Duda and Anand and that drawish Giri.

But, did you hear? 
It said...Stockfish. Down. 
Stock... Fish......Down...
