Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Aegir and Heimdall Goes Live

After Tyler had finished building Heimdall, he had brought it back with him to the hotel.

For those curious about how the custom computer, Heimdall looks like. It looks like normal gaming PC set up.

There’s nothing extra about the monitor or keyboard. The only part that’s different is the PC tower, processing unit, which is Heimdall itself.

The device wasn’t heavy when he carried it, but it felt dense and looked very unassuming.

It looked almost like any other gaming PC tower, vertical case, matte black finish, and front-facing USB ports.

But anyone looking closely would notice the subtle differences.

There was no visible side panel to reveal the internals. No transparent acrylic window showing off cable management or RGB fans.

Heimdall’s body was sealed with a smooth black shell laced with faint silver streaks that shimmered slightly under light. There was also no logos or branding.

The set up Tyler did was simple. He got the best gaming monitor, mouse and keyboard of year.

Since he will be working on Heimdall extensively over the coming days, it would be better for him to get himself the best of the best.

To anyone who saw the tower beside the monitor, Heimdall looked like a serious gaming machine and nothing more.

And that was exactly what Tyler wanted.

With a stable and minimal build of his OS, Aegir, ready, it was time to run on Heimdall.

He connected an external SSD to the laptop and began copying the OS instructions and files.

The whole process took over thirty minutes, and Tyler watched the progress bar crawl across the screen, byte by byte.

The total size of the build was staggering, even for a minimal version. This was one of the reasons he didn’t build the whole OS, because he won’t be able to copy it into any external storage device.

To do so, it would require possibly hundreds of terabytes and that was more than any SSD or HDD in existence could handle.

Tyler sighed heavily as he thought about how he’s so limited by Earth’s current technological advancement.

But then again, if there wasn’t such limitations, then the system might not have become as valuable as it is to him now.

As Tyler waited for Aegir to be copied into the SSD, his thoughts drifted to his mom and Devin.

He spoke to them last night and he felt how much they missed him. Tyler was also missing them but he can’t go home yet. He still had a lot that needs to be done.

Especially the sickness, more than seven months had passed and Tyler hadn’t even gotten started on finding the cure.

Yes, he hadn’t been idle either, as he had been building and putting everything in place but he had used up so much time.

From now on, he needs to hurry up with whatever he’s doing as the illness’ symptoms would start manifesting very soon.

The exercises that he had his mom do seemed to delayed the process but it doesn’t mean that it cured it. That was Tyler’s job.

"Soon. Soon, I will get the cure," Tyler vowed with a solemn voice.

He turned to his laptop and he saw that the transfer had been completed. He immediately disconnected the SSD, closed the laptop, and walked to the table where the gaming PC had been set up.

He stepped over to Heimdall and took a seat and inserted the SSD into Heimdall’s USB port.

He turned on the monitor and the screen flickered on, and he pressed Heimdall’s power button.

A faint hum filled the room immediately as the device came to life.

Just the smooth glow of power engaging, liquid microchannels starting to circulate coolant, and thermal equalizers activating. The fans didn’t spin—they whispered.

A few seconds later, text appeared on the screen:

{External bootable device detected.}

{Load Aegir_OS_0.9.2}

{Y/N}

Tyler clicked on the Y key on his keyboard.

The screen blinked, and a wall of text scrolled downward.

He watched it closely, reading every single line.

{Initializing Pulse Layer...}

{Loading PulseSync Protocols...}

{Detecting DRAM Banks... 64TB Detected.}

{Scanning Storage Matrix... 192TB Detected}

{Activating Valkyrie-X Cluster Nodes (10/10 Online)}

{Engaging ChronoFS Base Index...}

{ThreadGuard Integrity Shell ONLINE}

{Bootloader Execution Path Verified}

There were no delays, or hang-ups or any voltage errors. And every component responded in real time.

He had simulated this dozens of times, but he was finally running them live.

Next came installation.

Aegir was built with a zero-prompt deploy system, which means that there was no GUI installer, and no user agreement to accept.

Tyler didn’t need to be asked which disk to install it on or whether to create a recovery partition.

The SSD knew it was connected to Heimdall. Aegir had been coded to recognize Heimdall’s unique fingerprint, from its controller layout, GPIC lanes, to its memory segmentation, and even its casing temperature.

The OS initialized its installation routines automatically.

{Beginning Full Install of Aegir CoreOS...

Estimated Time: 22 Minutes}

While the system worked, Tyler leaned back in his chair and just watched the screen as progress logs streamed by.

{Installing Helm Protocol...}

{Mapping NeuraMem Segments...}

{ThreadGuard Kernel Embedding...}

{ChronoFS Index Root Creation...}

{Loading ConsoleNode Interface...}

{Applying Hardware Optimization Profiles...}

Yes, it wasn’t flashy but it works flawlessly.

At exactly 22 minutes, the screen changed again:

{Installation Complete.}

{Restart System and Boot into Aegir CoreOS?}

Tyler’s finger hovered over the enter key and he pressed it.

Immediately, the screen went black.

The next moment, text appeared on the monitor once more:

{Bootloader Initialized}

{Executing Secure Startup Path...}

{System Pulse Sync Engaged}

{All Valkyrie-X Cores Reported Online}

{NeuraMem Scan Complete}

{Logic Cluster Stable}

{Heimdall Environment Detected}

{ThreadGuard Integrity Scan: PASS}

{Entering User Space...}

A blank screen was displayed, then the home screen appeared.

It was completely blank with no icons, wallpaper or animations.

It was just a solid matte-gray screen with a blinking cursor at the center.

Seeing the OS and Heimdall running just as he wanted them to, a bright smile filled with pride and satisfaction bloomed on Tyler’s face.

Tyler tapped a few keys and launched ConsoleNode.

His custom command-line environment lit up in a second screen overlay.

He ran a quick system diagnostic to see if there was any problem anywhere.

{Valkyrie-X Cluster: Stable (Core Temp Avg: 41.3°C)}

{DRAM Banks: Stable (Latency: 2.1ns / Throughput: 98.7%)}

{NVMe DRAM: Mounted (ChronoFS Active)

Controller Activity: Normal}

{Logic Cluster Health: GREEN}

{Power Flow: Balanced}

{OS Stability Index: 99.991%}

{No Errors Detected}

Tyler nodded in satisfaction at the diagnostic results. They were exactly what he wanted to see.

Tyler was still relishing in the pride of achieving something so monumental when he started receiving system notifications.
