I am Xinghe, chief science officer of the Empire. While the entire fleet is obsessed with “psionic ascension,” I alone uncover the horror lurking behind the data: a sweet parasitic infection targeting all of civilization.
My warning earns me nothing but an order of exile.
They sneer, “Without psionics, you’re nothing.”
I turn and walk into a silent star system, where I build the last [Bulwark of Reason]. Here, mathematics is the only faith, and formulas are the highest truth.
As my former comrades are corrupted into twisted monsters, and the shadows of chaos engulf one planet after another,
I lead an army of “insulators” and AI against the so-called “gods,” launching a final defense of humanity in the name of our very nature.
