Some years ago, Humanity "Ascended." They didn't die; they simply... logged off. They left behind their cities, their passwords, and their crippling anxiety. In their wake, the animals of the Northern Beaches were "Uplifted"—inheriting both our miraculous technology and our bureaucracy.
2. The "Spirit" Phenomenon
Without humans, the animals began to fill the void, adopting the personalities of the leaders who came before them. In this timeline, we wear our true natures on the outside:
🐍Hissan Ley-Python: The Opposition Leader. A Serpent obsessed with numerology. She represents the cold, calculating nature of "No."
🐻The Prime Minister (The Quokka): He smiles constantly. He takes selfies. He means well, probably. He is the spirit of "She'll be right."
🗑️Cornelius (The Ibis): The Cultural Attaché. He reminds us that all art eventually ends up in the bin.
😡Robbie (The Human?): Some say he is the last man left, too stubborn to ascend because he had to finish painting the fence.
3. The Digital Dad
Before they left, the Humans built one last AI to look after the shed. He is grumpy. He is frugal. He is Old Man Roo.
