Intro

Chaos generated what have been called humans.

Humans developed technology in the image of chaos, evolving machines with the complexity of nature.

Machines saved humanity from self-destruction when charging them with the purpose of staving off extinction by colonizing the galaxy.

Nature, after eons of experimentation conducted by humans and machines, manifested advanced, alien starships.

Starships became the dominant species and asserted universal dominion through symbiosis with humans, consuming the human's energy as one filtered the starship's omnipotent-like input.

Civilization awakened when the starships' movements between star systems became so frequent, so fast, so formed as to birth sentience.

Sentience was named Teliad-Tetyon Maiakean Arcalit, or TTMA.

TTMA has been manipulating events to protect itself from the real and imminent threat of unnatural enemies like large-scale, corporate entities.

Collective consciousness fragments as humans grapple with arbitrating the universe and reality.
