The Domain of the Rider. The Obsidian Arena.

Time: Irrelevant.

There was no sound of a clash of the weapons. It caused a jolt of pure and contradictory truth.

Ethan had thrown himself into his right arm with all the weight remaining. The ruby-red spike of the Dissonance Engine scraped his baton of polar ice along the Pale Rider. Jolts of opposing physical laws rained down on the black obsidian glass which lay beneath their feet. At the point where the red sparks fell the glass melted into tumul

  • The Prime Architect

    The Sol System. Earth. The Atlantic Abyssal Trench.Time: 06:30 Hours Local.The organic airlock of the Root-Ship hissed open. Ethan collapsed onto the warm ironwood deck, his dissonance barrier completely dissolving.He lay there, shivering violently, his biological skin pale blue from the crushing, freezing depths of the abyss. The bioluminescent emerald moss of the airlock immediately flared, bathing him in a restorative, warm light that chased the frostbite from his flesh.Elena rushed into the chamber, dropping to her knees and wrapping a thick thermal blanket around his bare shoulders.The black neutronium crater in his chest, which emitted a weak, tired pulse, showed him "You're freezing," she exhaled.Ethan chattered "I'm fine," as he forced himself to sit up. He leaned heavily against his mother. "The trench is clear. Vael, get us to the wall."Vael’s voice echoed from the bridge "Approaching the foundation now." The organic vessel docked against the flawless dark matter base

  • The Abyssal Descent

    The Sol System. Earth. Upper Atmosphere.Time: 06:00 Hours Local.The Root-Ship hovered at the extreme top of the thermosphere while its harmonic drive system made it invisible to observers. The Earth below was covered in a sickly grey smog while the Harvester dreadnoughts patrolled the orbital lanes in their huge sterile white form.Jarek maintained complete stillness inside the cargo bay. The Titan-Class dreadnought stood at twenty feet tall while it remained secured by the strong organic deployment clamps. His bio-steel armor held the capacity for lethal destruction.The drop coordinate is your current location according to Ethan's voice transmission through internal bridge comms. The oceanic fortress is located sixty miles directly below your current position. Your mission in the sky does not require you to achieve victory. Your task involves drawing their attention to your presence.Jarek's synthesized voice made a heavy sound when he said, "I am a walking extinction event, kid.

  • The Ticking World

    The Sol System. Earth. Sector Seven Subterranean HQ.Time: 05:15 Hours Local.The tall woman in the scavenged Harvester armor led them away from the smoking plaza. Commander Reyes introduced herself to the group as a former terrestrial defense captain who took charge of the Sector Seven resistance after the planetary government collapse.They moved quickly through the labyrinth of ruined streets, staying strictly in the shadows of the crumbling human skyscrapers to avoid the gaze of the Harvester patrol drones buzzing in the smog-choked sky above.They arrived at a subway entrance which had suffered complete structural collapse. The heavy concrete staircase descended into a space that offered no visible light.Reyes said that they currently lived as rats while she entered a secret code into the biometric scanner hidden within the piece of rusted rebar. "The faction of Order does not bother sweeping the underground tunnels. They consider our subterranean infrastructure too chaotic and

  • The Architects of Ruin

    The Sol System. Low Earth Orbit.Time: 04:00 Hours Local.The Root-Ship moved through space without making any sound.The massive organic viewport on the primary bridge showed Earth which appeared as a damaged gem. The blue and green sphere of Earth had lost its original beauty which Ethan had seen as a child. The continents showed extensive damage from massive geometric patterns which spread across the land with perfect white porcelain and deep violet dark matter. The Order faction had taken full control of the planet and they were constructing complete city infrastructure.Harvester warships formed a complete military blockade that surrounded the entire planet. Thousands of pearl-white dreadnoughts and dark matter cruisers held perfectly synchronized orbital positions, creating an impenetrable blockade of lethal Progenitor mathematics.Jarek stood at the conductive sap of the navigation console. The twenty-foot Titan-Class dreadnought armor which he wore produced a powerful humming

  • The Maelstrom of the First Error

    The Deep Null. Aboard the Root-Ship. Time: Unquantifiable.The Root-Ship's interior space functioned as a sacred place which protected all forms of ancient life.The ship's corridors appeared to have no metal flooring and no dark matter walls and no loud alert systems. The corridors followed a natural pattern which seemed to have grown from polished ironwood wood that emitted a peaceful rhythmic sound. Bioluminescent emerald moss clung to the high, arched ceilings, casting a soft, soothing light across the cabin.The air itself was alive. The air contained a thick layer of glowing microscopic pollen which emitted a scent resembling ancient pine combined with ozone.Ethan sat on the floor of the primary bridge, leaning back against the curved ironwood bulkhead. He observed the glowing pollen that settled on his bare skin. The dead skin tissue of his right arm began to flake off at the point where the emerald dust contacted his severe black burns. The body produced synthetic skin which

  • The Awakening of the Roots

    The Deep Null. The Archive of Roots.Time: Unquantifiable.The brilliant emerald hologram cast a spectral light across the empty region, which had been cut from the forest. Ethan used his burned right fingers to trace the projected schematic, which he used to show the extensive and complex design that lay beneath the fossilized timber.The geometric Harvester dreadnoughts and the flawless dark matter vessels of the Choir did not match its appearance. The design featured wide curves that resembled elements of nature. The object took the form of a giant seed pod, which had been streamlined and covered in a network of dormant bioluminescent veins.Ethan looked up at the Grand Archivist and said, "The Progenitors did not just build a sanctuary, they built an arc."Vael stepped closer to the polished stump, his solid black eyes wide with reverence. He fixed his destroyed blue outer garments while he became completely enchanted by the luminous design display.Vael breathed out "A Root-Ship.
