You try to get out of the coffin thing or whatever this place is, without much success.
Are... Are you actually trying to escape? I wouldn't advise that. If you break something, you might get killed. Or, to be more exact, cease to exist. You don't want to get erased from reality, do you? Besides, I see no point in breaking out. You've volunteered, after all.
So, your new name. You may want to choose it now.
"Nope, not doing that. You lost my name, you'll have to recite your ID"
Okay, but that's not how it works. Your name used to be Andy Wandy Robotcake Bryan Dumbledore Jr. III... Your parents had an awful sense of humour. But, anyway, you're the one who decided to change it. You just haven't decided what your new name will be yet.
"Oh. In that case, I think I'll go with Aezie Pavarotti."
Alright. I expected something more... Conventional. But whatever, this works. It's your name, after all.
Anyway, about your memory loss. We don't know what you do or don't remember, so actually explaining everything that you need to know won't be easy. I'll tell you about what people forget most often, hoping that you'll understand what I'm talking about, and if something's still unclear after that you can just ask what you want to know.
Our universe is huge. We don't know how big it is, but we estimate it's somewhere between mind bogglingly humongous and actually infinite. It's filled with islands floating midair and has a multitude of black pillars scattered everywhere. Those pillars, while not particularly thick, are huge and don't appear to have a top or bottom. For some reason, there are always many small islands around the pillars, and the further you go the bigger and less numerous they get. Islands always move away from the pillars, yet new islands always replace them. We don't know if the pillars exist everywhere or just here, but they're the base of our civilisation. Damage a pillar, and it will heal. Shatter it, and it won't collapse. They can't really fall down, they just float midair. We think that the fine pillar dust formed through their constant damage and repair clumps together into floating into islands which then form bigger and bigger islands. This explains the weird island phenomenon, but it requires pillar dust to differentiate into various different materials, which has never actually been observed. Nevertheless, it's the best theory we've got for the origin of everything... Aside from the pillars, that is. As you've probably realised by now, there's a lot we don't know, but we are definitely eager to learn.
So why am I telling you this? Well, because our curiosity drives us to explore. To boldly go where no man has gone before. As the pillars are the only part of this universe that doesn't seem to be going anywhere, we build around one of them. It is a literal pillar of our civilisation.
However, every resource we use we get from the islands, so we must constantly send people there to collect them. We're used to going back and forth, travelling around the islands, so that's where most of our exploration is directed. We hope to get to another pillar one day and expand our civilisation, but we're not there yet. While we may have reached another pillar, all attempts at forming a permanent colony or going beyond the nearest pillar have failed.
However, there is another type of exploration that's frequently neglected... Vertical. We slowly build up and down, so no one cares about it. Everything on our pillar is always "just something we'll reach some day". But exploring our pillar is quite important. We want to learn how to create colonies far up and down the pillar in hopes of one day using that knowledge to colonise other pillars. This is what you're supposed to do. You simply need to go up.
I'll explain the specifics when you get to your node. But until then... Any questions?
