Growing up, most kids chased dreams, Alex chased wrenches. Thrown into the world of starship mechanics at a very early age by his grizzled mentor, his childhood hummed with the clang of tools and the rhythm of engines. Yet, within this gilded cage, a yearning echoed. He felt trapped, taught to never utter a word about his own race or humanity since he first spoke. The question haunted him: what fate befell his race and why this enforced silence? Years of routine work dulled his spirit, starship engines becoming monotonous hums. But amidst the wreckage of a dismantled vessel, a spark flickered. Hidden within the decaying hull, an ancient codex whispered of Eden Prime, humanity’s forgotten cradle. Its holographic pages, shimmering with coded truths, held a past he long sought. Driven by an insatiable need for answers and the echoes of a forgotten past of his people, Alex could no longer linger within his steel-bound world. Fueled by relentless curiosity, Alex embarked on a journey that promised answers about his past and the fate of civilization. Will he be able to uncover it? Or do the factions and powers behind the shadows of the past and the galaxy have other plans? His quest for answers has just begun, with the vast frontier galaxy waiting to be explored. ------------------------- Monday and Thursday update shedule.
