Awakenings
The birth system, the first steps, the log's opening entry.
In 2016, the log starts in « Misontaen 🏷️♦️ », « Euclid »: « [Vestige] Hadirium (historical log) 🐣 », planet 1, 690 000 light-years from the center. Nothing marks it as a beginning, except that it becomes one.
Not far from there. « Haddocka » takes its name in late summer, the same season the sky first felt like his own. A yellow sun overhead, and « Hadirium 🐣 » holds the memory.
Beyond the Cradle
What waited past the birth system: the path to the center, a wreck beyond the Atlas's reach, a derelict signal, a base grown from nothing.
Atlas Path
The main quest leading to the center of Euclid: Atlas Interfaces found and answered, one by one.
He crossed a small gap. The Atlas stands in « Misontaen », a yellow star: 1 planet and 0 moons bearing witness.
Every arrival ends the same way now: « La Fleche Bleue » overhead, hangar open, gravity optional.
Late summer finds him closest to « Euclid »'s center, 680 000 light-years out.
Journey's End
The final tally the save file keeps: systems, regions, galaxies, days.
The gap between is its own story. By the end, 53 systems, 9 regions, 1 galaxy logged, farther than three in ten of every journey on log. 26 deaths along the way, more than seven in ten of every traveler on file.
