Awakenings
The birth system, the first steps, the account's opening entry.
In 2019, the account starts in « Lobootken Cluster ♦️ », « Euclid »: « Mindian 🐣 », planet 2, 710 000 light-years from the core. Nothing marks it as a beginning, except that it becomes one.
13 travelers wore the same journey before him. He walks it without their names in mind.
The naming falls in deep winter: « Fatlas World 🏷️ », claimed and marked.
Beyond the Cradle
What waited past the birth system: the path to the core, a wreck beyond the Atlas's reach, a derelict signal, a base grown from nothing.
Atlas Path
The main quest leading to the core of Euclid: Atlas Interfaces found and answered, one by one.
Still there, under the same light. The Atlas stands in « Lobootken Cluster », at a yellow star with 6 worlds around it. « Fatlas World » holds no more mysteries after this.
A fleet accretes around the freighter: 11 ships in the hangar, 21 frigates in formation, and « H M S Disappointmen » over all of it.
0 light-years from the core, in « Icroco Boundary 🐾 », a « flying beetle » joined him over a year later. It stayed.
The record skips ahead. The account marks the nearest approach: 610 000 light-years out, at « Kazhma-Pus 🎯 », in « Elgupai Mass ».
New Beginnings
What comes immediately after the fork: the journey that opens once the Purge is behind him.
Settlements
A frontier outpost claimed, named, and left to run on its own.
Then the account stops rhyming with itself. « Ihirois Town » rises at « Ranbyonup XVIII 🏠 », in « Nurmod Sector 🏘️ ». 161 people eventually call it home, and he signs for every one of them.
A Trace of Metal
The questline that turns a hostile sentinel drone into a companion.
The theme did not let go. Sentinels come down hard on « Ihirois Town », more of them than its citizens have ever faced. He answers with everything he has.
Off the Main Journey
What the save account keeps outside any questline: names given, time passed, places returned to.
The next stretch has its own weather. « Ihirois Town » stands in « Nurmod Sector », under a yellow sky, Ranbyonup XVIII. 11 bases built by then, this the one that lasted.
Journey's End
The final tally the save file keeps: systems, regions, galaxies, days.
Again, and for the same reasons. By the end, 118 systems, 37 regions, 5 galaxies logged, farther than five in ten of every journey on account. 22 deaths along the way, more than seven in ten of every traveler on file.
