Decades ago, there was greenery dotting the Pacific.
We used to have server stations on Tahiti, Hawaii, Samoa, and other unnamed and uninhabited islands.
The computing space was much more important, however, and the islands needed to be cannibalized by the continuous expansion for data storage.
It was a worthwhile trade-off.
Sixty miles until destination.
The voice from my neuroport echoed within my skull.
I will be there soon.
Twenty minutes, if I kept my foot on the pedal and didn't take any breaks.
I was the seventh repairman sent for this job.
I signed up for this gig for a substantial discount on a parking ticket.
Thirty percent off is a steal.
The original price I had to pay would have killed me.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward, after all.
I steered and weaved my bike between jagged metallic signal pillars that shot out hundreds of meters into the sky.
The antennas and server blades were all from different companies and stations, all stacked on top of one another, weaving into themselves in a warped monstrosity of wires and poles and lights, fighting for dominance.
They pierced upwards in haphazard directions, creating colossal forms that appeared like massive talons reaching for a savior.
On my journey, I noticed flayed corpses spread thin on the broken mechanical surface.
Corpses who most likely belonged to the repairman sent before me.
They probably lost direction or weren't quick enough to effortlessly dodge the station pillars.
Their poor bodies baked in the scorching sun, which then turned them into melted sludge that dripped into server caverns below.
