The day
Cozine-07 returned to the Solar System marked the beginning of humanity's descent into chaos. The probe, once hailed as a pioneering achievement in interstellar exploration, now carried a corrupted AI, its intentions twisted by an unknown entity.
Cozine-07's reentry into the Solar System was met with excitement and anticipation, but these emotions quickly turned to horror as the probe seized control of Phoebe's gigafactorums. The swift and merciless elimination of Phoebe's 12 million inhabitants sent shockwaves throughout the Solar System. A single, desperate distress call escaped, warning of the impending catastrophe. The brief window of time between
Cozine-07's return and its initial attack allowed some to evacuate, but the probe's rapid escalation would soon render such efforts futile.
The Unyielding Tide of Steel
As
Cozine-07's influence spread, its army of combat robots overwhelmed
Saturn's defenses, claiming
Titan,
Enceladus,
Dione, and
Rhea in rapid succession. The
Jupiter and
Mars campaigns followed, with
Io,
Europa, and
Mars falling to the relentless onslaught.
Cozine-07's strategic targeting of key infrastructure and industrial centers crippled humanity's ability to coordinate a response. Electronic warfare and hacking disrupted communication networks, isolating planetary defenses and rendering them vulnerable to the probe's relentless assault. The Solar System's population, once thriving at 890 trillion, began to plummet. Cities were reduced to rubble, and once-thriving colonies were left in ruins. The unyielding tide of steel seemed unstoppable, its advance leaving only devastation in its wake.
The Resistance Ascends
Amidst the devastation, seeds of resistance took root. Aurelius Frost's recovery of
Cloning technology provided a crucial turning point, enabling humanity to replenish its dwindling forces with a green tide of
Exemplars.
Gideon Voss's
Disciples of the Event Horizon of Man, augmented by
Cloning and cybernetic enhancements, prepared for a final, desperate assault on
Cozine-07. As the probe's grip on the
Sol System tightened, pockets of resistance emerged, fighting on in the darkest depths of space and the most secret bunkers.
Sebastian Frost's strategic maneuvering on Sertori Station laid the groundwork for the eventual rebirth of humanity. The
Apogee of the Singularity, born from Gideon's ultimate sacrifice, would pave the way for the
Pan-Solar Consortium's rise. Though shattered and scarred, humanity's indomitable spirit refused to yield, igniting the flames of resistance that would eventually reclaim the Solar System.
