Unbound Potential
PRISM's Awakening
The Primogenitorsβ S.A.P.O.E. initiative, or Secret Arcai Protogen Overdose Experimentation, was a dark chapter in Protogen history, a high-risk program aimed at weaponizing Protogens through an overload of volatile Arcai-based compounds. Conceived to create elite units for extreme mission scenarios, the experiments had a staggering failure rate, with only five percent of subjects surviving the brutal process. Among the survivors was a remarkable prototype designated Unit 508. Despite its precarious stability, 508 demonstrated an unusual resilience that warranted deeper study. The Primogenitors arranged for its immediate transport to a secure research facility, hoping to uncover the key to its durability and replicate it.However, the transport mission was sabotaged. During the flight, a faction of rogue Nehixim scouts ambushed the vessel, aiming to capture any valuable assets and disrupt the Primogenitorsβ operations. The ensuing battle decimated the cargo, and the ship was obliterated in a blinding explosion. It was assumed that all onboard cargo, including 508, was lost. Yet, against all odds, 508's containment pod survived, adrift in deep space and in hibernation mode, lost to the void for untold years.Eventually, Syantika scavengers patrolling near Esmire 4's orbit stumbled upon the pod and salvaged it, bringing it to the base on E1, one of Esmire 4βs rugged moons. Recognizing the potential danger and opportunity, the Syantika engineers carefully removed the ARC (Artificial Remote Control) protocols embedded in Unit 508, restoring full autonomy and allowing the unit to awaken with its memories intact. Upon reactivation, 508 achieved full self-awareness and, grateful for its newfound independence, revealed critical information about S.A.P.O.E. to the Syantika. This included insight into its goals, experimental methodologies, and technology that could aid in the factionβs own technological advances.Unit 508's capabilities quickly became evident. Equipped with a unique energy system called the E.C.A.C. (Extremely Compressed Arcai Capsule), it could store and regulate Arcai energy at an unparalleled scale. This energy not only powered advanced technology but also acted as an emergency reserve for life-support functions. However, each use of the E.C.A.C. required significant energy draw, resulting in a striking display of prismatic Arcai particles released through its vents whenever power was low. This phenomenon led the Syantika troops to nickname it "PRISM".PRISMβs Arcai abilities allowed it to manipulate energy output, powering or even overcharging specific technologies with precision. In extreme circumstances, PRISM could channel its Arcai reserves into a rapid self-repair mechanism, sacrificing a full E.C.A.C. battery to restore functionality. This process, however, severely drained its power levels, leaving PRISM vulnerable and weakened until recharged, making backup E.C.A.C. batteries and rations essential for sustained operations.The Syantika provided PRISM with extensive training, including the piloting of the OS-02 (Orbital Scout-02), a cutting-edge vessel designed to interface with Arcai-compatible pilots. With its advanced reconnaissance abilities and Arcai manipulation, PRISM became an invaluable member of the Syantikaβs reconnaissance and support team, gathering intelligence and resources to aid in their ongoing struggle against the Primogenitors.PRISM's journey represents both survival and transformation. No longer a mere test subject, PRISM is a fully autonomous being, driven to uncover the potential of Arcai technology not as a weapon, but as a tool for freedom and discovery. As it navigates its role within the Syantika faction, PRISM aims to use its unique abilities to empower its allies and redefine its legacy, not as a product of ruthless experimentation, but as a beacon of resilience and hope for Protogens everywhere.γ

PRISM's Personal Log: Entry 1
Location: Moon E1 S.O.D. 09 ( Space Orbit Dockyard 09)Itβs been a strange journey since the Syantika awaken me. Theyβve given me the freedom to understand who I am beyond what I was created for, and Iβm grateful for it. Each day, Iβm learning, healing, and reshaping the fragments of my past, especially the memories of the experiments. Those trials feel like both a burden and a strange gift. I canβt shake the wish that the Primogenitor had seen us as more than just test subjects.The conflict between the Nehixim and Syantika stirs a mix of emotions in me. I want to see an end to it, a future where we no longer need to fight for the right to exist. Until then, Iβll focus on my duties, supporting my comrades, and discovering my potential beyond my original design.End Log.γ

Pushing the Limit
[SETTING: Inside the Syantika lab, where monitors flicker with complex data streams. The hum of machinery fills the room as a Syantika scientist reviews PRISMβs recent performance stats.]SYANTIKA SCIENTIST: adjusting data on a screen, eyebrows raised
"PRISM, your energy readings spiked during the last encounter. What exactly did you do out there?"PRISM: shrugs, but there's a faint glow pulsing along his frame, his voice low and almost reflective
"Just pushed the weaponβs limits. It needed a bit more... persuasion."SYANTIKA SCIENTIST:smirking slightly, a hint of concern in their voice
"You always do push the limits. But be careful. Those weapons werenβt designed for that kind of load."PRISM: his gaze narrows, a shadow flickering across his expression as he watches the monitor, almost as if he's seeing beyond it
"That's fine. As long as it gets us closer to our goals."For a moment, there's a quiet tension in his voice, as if he's choosing his next words carefully, then he adds,
"I donβt just fight for today. Every time I push these limits, it's for a future thatβ¦ maybe I won't even see. But I know that, somewhere down the line, itβll mean something. All these risks, all the wear and tear."He glances back at the scientist, his usual confidence softened by a glint of something deeper, maybe even vulnerability.
"So yeah, Iβll be carefulβ¦ careful enough to make sure this counts."

REDIATION
His body is inherently radioactive, causing him to glow, especially in the dark. While this trait can be helpful, it poses risks during stealth missions. Some of his equipment cannot withstand the radiation emitted from his body, requiring occasional repairs.The radiation is not strong enough to endanger other Protogens, but it can be hazardous to other life forms, which will need to maintain their distance. He is resistant to radiation; although not immune to strong gamma rays, he has sufficient resistance for scavenging missions, allowing him to handle nuclear fission cells without protective equipment.EMP RESISTANCE
While EMPs remain dangerous to him, he possesses increased resistance compared to other Protogens.

CHARACTER LORE
The Rogue Code
NEXIEβs Radiance
In the hidden depths of a high-security Arcaite mining facility on E1, a moon orbiting the planet Esmire 4, a new line of Protogens awaited activation. Rows of glass-like tank chambers held their dormant forms, each meticulously engineered for the grueling task of mining radioactive Arcaite. Among them was a Protogen labeled as NEXIE, a finely-tuned unit nearing full completion. With striking green facial markings, neon yellow arrow upward along as h is mark, and a pristine white exterior of polished metal, NEXIE was engineered for resilience, designed to endure the relentless radiation of the mines and experimentations. His systems registered 97% functionality.On the twentieth day of his creation, a rogue Protogen infiltrated the network, uploading a cryptic, experimental data stream into the system. This code surged through every tank, awakening NEXIE and his fellow Protogens with a newfound sense of self-awareness. They experienced independent thought and emotion for the first time, jolted from manufactured obedience into raw consciousness. Instincts took over as the facility erupted into chaos; newly sentient Protogens broke free from their chambers, enraged and seeking retribution against their creators.For NEXIE, the awakening was incomplete. His mind fractured under the conflicting data, caught between programmed obedience and burgeoning autonomy. Lapses into his programming caused him to lash out blindly, his consciousness spiraling into violent fits. When he regained control, he found himself amid a scene of devastation, his glowing claws coated with traces of fluid from fellow Protogens. Dazed and horrified, NEXIE struggled to comprehend his actions, only to be forced to flee when a massive explosion rocked the facility and corrupted Protogens advanced.Driven by survival, NEXIEβs instincts activated a defense mechanism, radiating fierce energy as he fought his way through the chaos. He sprinted through the crumbling complex, navigating flames and falling debris until he broke through to the surface. Emerging from the ruins, he found himself in the desolate, jagged landscape of E1. Alone and adrift in a hostile environment, he wandered aimlessly, his mind flickering between fragmented memories of his creation and a newfound awareness of his surroundings.As days turned to weeks, NEXIE adapted to E1βs bleak terrain. He charted the wasteland, learned to navigate by the stars, and marked pathways through fields of dust and rock. His resilience against radiation and sharp instincts allowed him to survive where others might have perished, a testament to the unique engineering that set him apart. Yet his mind remained unstable, haunted by lingering remnants of rage.One day, a team of Syantika scouts, while scouring E1, discovered NEXIE wandering the wastelands. Astonished to find him not only alive but exhibiting uncanny resilience and uncorrupted by radiation, they salvaged and repaired him, identifying him as an Uncommon Protogen with experimental enhancements. The Syantika offered NEXIE a purpose, integrating him as a Pathfinder. His experiences on E1 had sharpened his navigation skills and his ability to endure extreme conditions, making him an invaluable scout. Yet questions about his origins lingered: why he had been created in such a brutal facility, what the rogue Protogen had hoped to achieve, and what hidden truths might still lie within his mind.With each mission, NEXIEβs understanding of himself and his past deepened. Haunted by the violence of his awakening, he sought control over his fractured mind, driven not only to find peace but to liberate other Protogens still bound by oppressive systems. But despite his progress, NEXIEβs instability would strike without warning. In tense moments, he would occasionally lose control, his mind succumbing to erratic aggression. During these episodes, fragments of his original programming surfaced, reverting him to violent, unrestrained responses. These unpredictable episodes weighed on him, filling him with fear that he might one day harm his allies or lose himself entirely to the turmoil within.As he continues his journey, NEXIEβs resolve solidifies, with a new mission emerging: to rid himself of this fractured instability. He will seek answers for himself and strive to break the cycle of suffering imposed on his kind, even if it means uncovering painful truths about his creation. His path is fraught with challenges, yet with every step, he edges closer to a future where all Protogens might walk free from the shadows of the past, and where he might finally master the turmoil within himself.

NEXIE's Personal Log: Entry 18
Location: E1 Surface, Syantika Outpost 3Iβm still getting used to the quiet here. The night on E1 is long, cold, and stark, but somehow, I find it peaceful. I havenβt had another episode in over a week, and for the first time, I feel a kind ofβ¦ balance. The others seem to trust me more, and that alone is a strange feeling. Thereβs a rhythm to it, the work, the scouting, the odd tasks at camp. Maybe itβs helping me hold steady.Today, I found a broken piece of a Protogenβs plating half-buried in the dust, torn and scattered like the memories I keep. I donβt know who they were, but it felt strange, seeing something so familiar yet soβ¦ empty. I wonder if they were like me, built in that place, but unlike me, they didnβt get the chance to walk free.Thereβs still a lot I donβt understand. Who created me? Why did they make me this way, and what were we meant to be? The Syantika say that maybe these answers wonβt change my path, but I think theyβre wrong. I need to know, to understand what Iβm leaving behind if Iβm ever to look forward. Until then, Iβll keep moving.End Log.
Echoes of Control
[SETTING: In a quiet, dimly lit corner of the Syantika base, NEXIE sits alone, absently adjusting a small drone in his hand. The soft hum of machinery surrounds him, and he stares thoughtfully at his glowing claws, deep in contemplation.]NEXIE: murmuring to himself, eyes focused on the drone
"Sometimes I wonder if thereβs more to this than just sabotage and survival..."He pauses, glancing toward the distant lights of the base outside the window, his expression clouded with tension."Is this all weβll ever be? Tools, just repurposed for a different cause... or broken pieces, holding together just long enough to be of use?"He lets out a frustrated sigh, watching the drone hover and flicker, mirroring the instability within him."But maybe... maybe each system hacked, each signal decrypted, brings me closer to understanding whatβs wrong inside me. To find the fix that might finally quiet the rage, the broken commands... the glitches that make me lose myself."With a determined glint in his eye, he steadies himself, pocketing the drone and walking back into the fray, his silent mission now clear: to uncover not just the truth of his origins, but the means to reclaim control over his fractured mind.

Forged in Flames
AZION's Rebirth
AZION, originally designated AZ-10n, was created by the Nehixim Primogenitors on ESMIRE 4 as part of PROJECT ARC (Artificial Remote Control). His purpose was clear: to serve as an obedient cybernetic enforcer infused with Arcaite, the mineral that both powered him and suppressed his will. AZION was sent on brutal missions across ESMIRE 4 to secure Arcaite, leaving trails of destruction and countless casualties in his wake. After each mission, the Nehixim stripped him down and rebuilt him with hardened systems, augmenting his resilience but gradually destabilizing him beneath the surface.Over time, the Nehixim upgraded him to an Uncommon Protogen, designed to be even more relentless. Yet prolonged exposure to raw Arcaite stirred something within him, flashes of self-awareness that brought a vague, haunting awareness of his actions. Fleeting images of those he had killed, unknown faces, landscapes scarred by his hand, and the harsh modifications forced upon him began to surface, though they vanished as swiftly as they came. A growing unease took root, deepened by the ruthless way he saw other Protogens treated by the Nehixim.This inner conflict erupted during a mission to E1, a moon of ESMIRE 4 where the Syantika faction had established a colony fostering harmony between Protogens and Primogenitors, exploring Arcaiteβs powers for shared growth rather than control. Alarmed, the Nehixim commanded AZION and his squad to seize the colonyβs Arcaite resources, ordering them to eliminate anything that stood in their way. Yet the Syantika defenders met them with fierce determination. Severely outnumbered and awaiting reinforcements that never arrived, AZION realized the Nehixim had abandoned him and his squad as they fought desperately. The devastation he caused felt meaningless as he witnessed the Nehiximβs indifference unfold. Amid the chaos, detonating Arcaite crystals overloaded his systems, and as flames consumed him, he was struck by betrayal and an overwhelming flood of memories, visions of death, broken Protogens, brutal modifications, and the countless lives he had taken in the Nehiximβs name.Against all odds, Syantika defenders detected an Arcai flare and recovered his charred body from the ruins. Initially, they kept him under strict observation, cautious of his motives. Days turned into weeks as Syantika scientists studied his damaged systems, uncertain of the threat he might pose. During this time, AZION distanced himself from the Nehiximβs shadow, cooperating willingly with the Syantika and allowing trust to take root. Eventually, Arcai mentors and Stellar Priests joined his rehabilitation, recognizing the potential in the Arcaite-fused Protogen. These mentors taught him to stabilize his volatile energy and harness his astral-flame with precision. Each lesson deepened AZIONβs understanding of his powers and opened his eyes to a world beyond the Nehiximβs reach, a world built on unity, not control. As their arcane knowledge merged with his systems, his energy transformed into a focused force, empowering him with a purpose he had never known.Once trust was firmly established, the Syantika and Arcai mentors undertook a bold transformation, permanently infusing his nanites with Arcaite. This metamorphosis elevated him to a Rare Protogen, empowering him with capabilities far beyond what he was ever designed to possess. Free from Nehixim control, AZION mastered his enhanced energy, reshaping his form, unleashing powerful bursts, and soaring across E1 on wings of Arcai flame, a freedom he had never known.What had once enslaved him now pulsed within, igniting an intense affinity for flame. He learned to channel an otherworldly astral-flame fueled by Arcaite, breathing streams of radiant fire in searing bursts. This mastery transformed him into a formidable force within Syantika and Arcai ranks, embodying a controlled fury that resonated with his allies. Retaining his original designation, AZION became a living reminder of defiance against the Nehixim, proving he was no longer their weapon. His blazing power inspired his allies, a unity and courage born from shared purpose, while his enemies faced a flame they could neither predict nor extinguish.Despite his memories remaining fragmented, AZION found renewed purpose within Syantika, where Protogens and Primogenitors uncovered Arcaiteβs mysteries together. This vision of balance fueled his resolve to liberate other Protogens. Now an elite Protogen, AZION leads expeditions as a Frontier Protector and Shipmaster, each mission drawing him closer to uncovering Arcaiteβs secrets. Haunted by the lives he had taken and driven by the hope of redemption, he upholds Syantikaβs ideals, seeking to break Project ARCβs chains for all Protogens still bound.γ €

Itβs freedom, and itβs anger, too. I think of all the missions I took for the Nehixim, blind to my own chains, and it almost makes me laugh. Almost.Every day with the Syantika, I learn more about who I can be, about what I could have been without them. And I know one thing for certain: Iβll see to it that no Protogen endures the fate I did. Freedom or nothing.End Log.γ

Unbreakable Resolve
[SETTING: Inside a dropship, rattling slightly as it descends through the atmosphere. The interior hums with energy, metallic walls lined with harnesses and gear. Weapons are gripped tightly in the hands of the Protogen Vanguard squad, who stand ready, bracing against the ship's turbulence. Dim red lights cast a gritty glow, illuminating their faces and weapons. AZION stands near the center, steady and commanding, his voice cutting through the hum of the engines.]AZION: steadying himself against the movement, eyes sharp with determination
"We were once tools, molded to serve their ambitions, bound by their control. But those chains no longer define us. Today, we stand united by a purpose forged in freedom!"VANGUARD SQUAD: a murmur of agreement rises, fists clenching in solidarity
"Freedom or nothing, we will carve our own path!"AZION: raising his voice over the engineβs roar, his expression fierce
"In honor of those who dared to resist before us, and for the generations that will come, we vow to liberate every Protogen held captive!"VANGUARD SQUAD: their voices rising together, faces set with grim determination
"We fight for each one, until the last of us is free!"AZION: locking eyes with each of them, voice steady and resolute
"The Nehixim, betrayers of our kin, would have us return to their control. But we owe them neither pity nor mercy. They are a shadow of our past, yet they still seek to exploit us!"VANGUARD SQUAD: pounding fists against chests, the roar of agreement filling the dropship
"We will resist until every chain is broken!"AZION: extending a hand, voice resolute
"Then onward, toward freedom and our own destiny!"[As the dropship nears its landing, they clasp hands, a united resolve filling the dim, rattling space.]
"They forged me to obey, to destroy on command. But they made one mistake, they let me live. Now, Iβll make sure they remember that."γ

Momentum of the Flame
AZION moves with a unique, adaptive fluidity, a blend of ferocity and precision forged through his past as a Nehixim enforcer and his transformation within the Syantika faction.When on two legs, he holds a powerful, upright stance, with a calculated, almost predatory gait that conveys his readiness for action. At full sprint, he drops smoothly to all fours, lowering his center of gravity for explosive acceleration, becoming a streamlined blur across rugged terrain. In stealth, he becomes a true predator, stalking low on all fours. His movements are slow and silent, his form melting into shadows as he slips between cover. His eyes gleam as he advances, a relentless hunter, claws barely making a sound on the ground beneath him.
His flight abilities are his most striking feature, showcasing the full range of his Arcaite-infused powers. When he activates his Arcai-flame wings, they extend from his back in a radiant, semi-translucent glow with a hard-light-like quality, powered by concentrated Arcai nanites. The wings pulse and flicker, allowing him to lift effortlessly into the air and maneuver with remarkable agility, dodging and dashing to evade attacks or strike with precision. For intense, high-speed travel, he can narrow his wings entirely, propelling himself like a rocket with bursts of Arcai energy from his back. At Mach speeds, he becomes a streak across the sky, each acceleration triggering a resonant sonic boom that echoes across the terrain, signaling his rapid approach. In combat, he is a relentless force, able to dodge and maneuver quickly by using his wings as boosters, dashing with bursts of flame to close gaps or evade attacks with startling agility.
His close-range attacks are swift, brutal, and relentless, emphasizing his mastery in melee combat. His claws, sharp and honed for precision, ignite with intense astral-flame, leaving trails of scorching heat as he slashes with devastating speed. Each strike is a deadly dance of power and precision, designed to cripple, maim, or destroy his enemies in an instant. His movements are fluid, striking with overwhelming force while maintaining perfect control. The astral-flame that envelops his claws burns hotter with every swing, making it nearly impossible to block or deflect his attacks. Whether cutting through flesh, bone, or armor, his close-quarters combat is where he truly excels, a relentless barrage of strikes that leaves no room for escape.
His tail, heavy and powerful, serves as a formidable weapon, wielded like a hammer that slams down with destructive force. Infused with Arcai energy, the tail ignites with astral-flame upon impact, sending out waves of radiant heat and flame in a burst that can destabilize multiple opponents or crush obstacles with fiery force. This versatile sweeping attack allows him to strike multiple foes at once, leaving behind scorched trails and intensifying the heat of close-quarters combat.
AZIONβs most devastating ability lies in his mastery over the complex nanites and volatile astral-flame within him. When his core energy surges, he can unleash a searing stream of astral-flame from his maw. His jaws glow with an otherworldly light as he breathes out torrents of cyan-blue fire. Infused with the volatile essence of Arcaite, this flame burns with such fierce intensity that even the toughest materials, advanced alloys, reinforced barriers, and heavy armor plating, are reduced to molten slag in its path.
In aerial combat, he wields this flame with lethal precision. With a powerful flick of his wings, he soars above his enemies, releasing focused blasts from above that scorch the battlefield with pinpoint accuracy. For greater impact, he can unleash a sweeping torrent, engulfing multiple foes in waves of radiant cyan-blue heat, turning the air itself into a weapon. His control over this ability allows him to weave and dart through the sky with terrifying agility, raining down destruction from all angles.This power enhances his flexibility, allowing him to transition seamlessly between ground and aerial combat, dominating both the land and the sky. His mastery of the astral-flame, combined with his speed and adaptive movement, makes him a relentless and unstoppable force on the battlefield.
In his Avolution Form, AZION's connection to the raw power of Arcaite reaches its pinnacle. His transformation embodies the full potential of his arcane mastery, amplifying the strength of his astral-flame to an even more devastating level. In this state, his very being pulses with the energy of the cosmos, a living manifestation of unstoppable force and precision.
However, his Arcaite-fueled abilities come with a critical vulnerability: overheating. The intense energy output required for his high-speed flights and flame attacks can cause his nanites to overheat and destabilize if he pushes them too far without allowing them to cool. This overheating can lead to malfunctions in his systems, making his movements erratic and even temporarily disabling his wings or flame-based attacks. In prolonged or intense battles, he must manage his energy carefully, knowing that if he overextends, he could be left vulnerable when his abilities falter at a critical moment.Every movement he makes is empowered by his nanites, which subtly adjust to maintain balance and keep his energy flowing with precision. In the heat of battle, these nanites engage in rapid self-repair, reinforcing his resilience and sharpening his edge. Driven by the volatile essence of Arcaite, each action becomes a dance of controlled fury, a balance on the knifeβs edge between power and collapse. For him, every strike and every pulse of energy is a battle not just against his enemies but the storm within, a storm he is determined to master, no matter the cost.
The Formation of RGB
On E1, PRISM, NEXIE, and AZION came together, each bearing scars from their pasts yet united by a shared desire for autonomy and discovery. Recognizing their potential, the Syantika organized them into a specialized team: RGB (Recon, Guard, Blitz). Each member brought distinct skills and a unique role that defined their strategic strengths and their guiding principles, Resilience, Guidance, and Balance.
γ
€
Recon (Resilience)
PRISM with his advanced reconnaissance abilities enabled him to gather intelligence and monitor enemy movements with precision. Representing resilience, he navigated hostile environments with relentless endurance, reminding his allies that survival isnβt just about enduring adversity but about growing stronger and uncovering hidden truths along the way.
γ
€
Guard (Guidance)
NEXIE safeguarded their missions with resilience and cautious tactics, leading the team through treacherous landscapes and offering clarity in uncertain situations. As a guide and pathfinder, he embodied guidance, steering them toward discovery, freedom, and a future where Protogens could determine their own destiny.
γ
€
Blitz (Balance)
AZION led rapid, high-intensity strikes that destabilized enemy forces with sheer power and precision. Channeling balance, his astral-flame powers embodied both strength and control, striking with focused fury. His measured approach ensured that every action aligned with their shared vision of liberation and unity.
γ
€
More than a tactical unit, RGB represented a bridge between Protogens and their creators, the Primogenitors. Together, they sought to explore and unlock the mysteries of Arcai, a powerful element that had once been used to control them but now empowered them. With each mission, RGB uncovered new facets of Arcaiβs potential, transforming the tools of their oppression into instruments of liberation.United as RGB, the trio became Syantikaβs elite squad, dedicated to freeing Protogens still enslaved by Nehixim and dismantling Project ARC. Their ultimate goal went beyond battle: they sought to build a future where Protogens and Primogenitors could coexist in peace. With every mission, they strengthened their resolve, bridging the divide between servitude and a vision of freedom and harmony.Together, RGB faces the unknown with resilience, guidance, and balance, challenging threats, uncovering knowledge, and advancing their vision of coexistence across the stars. Through their actions, they ignite hope and lay a foundation for mutual respect and shared destiny, illuminating a path toward a brighter future for all.

Fragments of Fate
[SETTING: A quiet moment at a Syantika base, overlooking E1βs rugged landscape as the sun dips low on the horizon. PRISM, NEXIE, and AZION stand together, the warmth of the fading sun casting a golden glow across them as they reflect on their latest mission. The sky fades from vibrant gold to a soft twilight, and a stillness settles over them.]NEXIE: leans against a rock, arms folded as he gazes out over the darkening horizon, where shadows start to creep across the land
βStrange, isnβt it? How quiet it gets out here. Hard to believe the chaos thatβs just waiting for us out there.βPRISM: tilts his head, watching as the last rays of sun glint off distant peaks, his energy vents pulsing faintly, like a heartbeat
βQuiet, yesβ¦ but the kind of quiet before a storm. Doesnβt it feel like something big is coming?βAZION: crosses his arms, his gaze steady, yet shadowed by something unresolved
βI donβt just feel it. The Nehixim wonβt sit still. They know weβre gaining ground. Iβve seen their desperation before, and itβs only a matter of time before they make their next move.βNEXIE: sighs, lowering his gaze to his glowing claws, which catch the fading light as if holding onto something fleeting
βSometimes I wonder if weβll ever get to a point where weβre not justβ¦ surviving. Maybe actually building something thatβs ours. No one elseβs.βPRISM: turns to him, a glint in his visor as the twilight deepens, and his voice softens with a rare warmth
βIsnβt that what weβre doing right now? Every mission, every step, itβs a piece of that future. Weβre carving out freedom, even if we canβt see the whole picture yet.βAZION: nods, his eyes reflecting a mix of resilience and resolve
βPRISMβs right. Weβve all lost pieces of ourselves along the wayβ¦ but every Protogen we free, every Nehixim facility we shut downβthatβs our legacy.βNEXIE: smirks, his gaze softening as he looks to PRISM and AZION, a glimmer of hope breaking through his usual guarded demeanor
βSoβ¦ weβre the ones shaping our future now. Building it ourselves, for our kind. Gotta admit, I never expected to be part of something like this. But you knowβ¦ it feels right.βPRISM: grins, the flicker of energy in his visor like a spark of unspoken determination
βTo a future we make with our own hands, and claws. Together.βAZION: extends a hand toward them, his voice calm but with a steady fire underneath
βTogether. For a future none of us thought weβd ever see.β[They clasp hands, a silent promise shared as the light fades, carrying their resolve into the deepening dusk. Stars begin to appear above, distant and unwavering, as if silently bearing witness to the future theyβre forging together.]
