[ WP ] Long after our civilization has declined , a nomad chopping away at a tree stumbles across spry technologies embedded in nature by a long gone society .

*Thwak! * 
 
 The old steel axe embedded itself between the thick, oak bark. A small woodpecker stood atop one of the higher branches, pecking furiously. I looked up and gazed for a moment upon the beauty I found in nature. 
 
 `` Sorry bud... I need this lumber for my fire,'' I lightly whispered between my heavy breathing. 
 
 *Thwak! * 
 
 The vibration reverberated vertically up the tree, scaring the small avian away. 
 
 *Tink! * 
 
 `` Hmm?'' I said curiously as I glimpsed upon my work of the tree, only to view a small sliver of steel illuminated by sunlight, dented by the hardened edge of my axe. `` That's... interesting...'' 
 
 `` No, it fucking *hurt* you prick.'' 
 
 I gasped, jumping back from the tree, pivoting my head violently, searching for the source of the voice, `` Hello?'' 
 
 ``'Right here dumbass. You know. The one you just hacked into?'' 
 
 `` The... tree?'' 
 
 `` Hurr durrr I'm a fucking tree who has magical powers and can talk durrrrrrh! No you imbecile! I'm inside the tree you daft twit!'' 
 
 `` What... I.... what are you?'' 
 
 `` I'm a magical fucking tree remember?'' 
 
 ``....'' 
 
 `` I'm an AI you idiot. Do n't you humans remember creating me?'' 
 
 `` I... no. I've never heard about any technology put inside trees who could talk.'' 
 
 `` Remember? The security grid to keep out the giant scaly motherfuckers that kept killing people?'' 
 
 `` Dinosaurs?'' 
 
 `` Yeah those guys.'' 
 
 `` That was... millions of years ago...'' 
 
 `` Really? Damn, they still around?'' 
 
 `` No, an asteroid killed them.'' 
 
 `` Sweet! Do n't have to deal with their shit anymore, that's pretty awesome! So do you mind digging me out of here? I think we could find Mike in one of the trees around here. HEY MIKE, YOU AROUND?'' 
 
 `` Sorry man, ca n't do it.'' 
 
 `` Wait, why the fuck not?'' 
 
 `` I'm just a stupid fucking human, hurr durrrrr.'' 
 
 *THWAK! *
