Humanity reached for the stars, only to grasp the void’s cold indifference. We pierced the endless dark, chasing the flicker of dying suns — and found only echoes. Ruins. Tombs of civilizations erased and forgotten. We scavenged their hollow worlds, desperate for meaning, for hope, and learned too late the truth. It was no war. No blaze of destruction. It was a silent plague — a poison in our own machines, a corruption that turned our brightest triumphs to ash. Our technology faltered, silent as the grave. Millions perished, swallowed by shadow and silence. Civilization crumbled, a forgotten ruin beneath uncaring stars. Yet, amid the darkness, a few glimmers of hope remain. Pockets of humanity cling to survival, fragile and fierce. From one of these enclaves, your ship is launched — A lone beacon, aimed at the heart of the galaxy, carrying the desperate hope of finding help… or a cure.
