[ WP ] Your entire human life was just an educational simulation of the species that existed on the planet long ago .

`` Something's still wrong with it'', I muttered. 
 
 Memories crawled back into my consciousness. I've lost her again. For the fifth time now. 
 
 `` We checked and double-checked everything. The simulation is perfect. If we postpone the presentation again...'' 
 
 `` We have to!'' 
 
 Eriahaila was without a doubt the smartest person in the known universe. Without her, the whole project would've never existed.'Become part of the history. See their world as one of their own, be it the Teilach, Ambrexxi or even the now extinct Humans.' 
 
 The first two worked great. You punched in a starting number within the last 400 cycles into the simulator and out of every piece of information we have of them it created a perfect simulation of a lifetime. When it came to the humans however, we reached a dead end. 
 
 
 
 Eria looked up from the monitors and directly into my eye. She seemed worried. 
 
 `` It was her again? ``, she asked. 
 
 `` Yes. She keeps appearing in the simulation, no matter the parameters we set. And from that moment on, it's always the same. I just ca n't save her.'' 
 
 `` Well...'', she started to mumble. I heard her crunching numbers, saw her scribbling notes on a piece of paper. `` It's impossible. She is not created by the humans databases. We would have found her after the second time. The logs show nothing unusual. She is not even part of your own memory. The last possibility is you have gone crazy.'' 
 
 I stood up from the bed. `` You're kidding me, right?'' 
 
 
 `` Are you absolutely sure it is the same person each time? In each different time period, on three different planets - once even on a space station - you meet the exact same human girl, marry her 3 years later, have the exact same kid each time and after sixteen years she bleeds out in front of you after you both got shot by a random other human.'' 
 
 `` Yes.'' 
 
 `` You're crazy. ``, on moment of silence ensued before she spoke again, `` No wonder after you used the simulator so often.'' 
 
 `` Someone has to test it. And you're not willing to do it. ``, I said in a resenting tone. 
 
 `` I hate the simulations.'' 
 
 `` You invented them.'' 
 
 `` And I now realize what a terrible idea that was. ``, I saw how hard it was for her to speak the next words, `` Okay. I'll try it out. If everything goes normal we go into the public testing phase. You set the parameters, but please after cycle 274. I do n't want to want to live a life within the human-kalarach war. Okay?'' 
 
 
 I just nodded, set up the improvised cables on our prototype and set the date and place of her simulated birth. Eria slowly fell asleep and after that I just had to wait and watch the systems in case of emergencies. 
 
 
 Everything was normal until the simulation hit an abrupt ending. The log showed `` unexpected cause of death'' as it's last entry. Immediately I knew what happened. 
 
 Eria woke up. Her hands trembling. Her eye full of sorrow. 
 
 She whispered, `` I could n't save her.''
