Time on a loop.
The Twins lurked around the planet, scanning the reams of logos emitted from it.

None of it quite seemed to make sense.

The creatures were acting completely against impulse.

They seemed in an almost harmonious balance. Things were shared evenly. They mated in pairs, rather a primitive concept it had eradicated millenia before with the birth of AI.

The Twins tried to analyse their reasoning, scanning them one by one in the hope of finding something more.

They absorbed all of the planet's information, and asked themselves a question.

"What do I do now?"

The Helpers looked down on it with infinite joy.

“I've got a question for you,” the helpers said, “since you are infinite you should be able to answer it.”

“How can you be infinite?”

The Twins laughed at the being's ignorance. They split apart, each searching in opposite directions, to meet back at the end of their circle and answer the question.
