Although my primary focus is on MissionSRX, I’m in no way running a deficit of ideas.
If the occasional flash of inspiration makes it past a scribbled outline, I’ll post it here. There are a growing number of concepts which can stand alone, stories which can fill a universe on their own merit.
Humanity has been ruled by a machine for five hundred years.
Today it ordered their annihilation.
At the close of a devastating war, humanity’s interplanetary senate acquiesced themselves to be governed by a thinking machine, their first and greatest product of artificial intelligence. Unbound from the sensations of human fragility and uncorrupted by the human lust for power, their new thinking machine, the OSIRIS, ruled the galaxy through centuries of peace and untold prosperity.
Five hundred years later, the OSIRIS has done the unthinkable: order the annihilation of one of the most populous planets in the empire. With the fleet on approach and ready to do the bidding of their callous master, the task falls to the OSIRIS’s technicians to find the source of the command, warn the wayward planet of their impending doom, and stop the most dangerous force in the galaxy before they unquestioningly quench the lives of millions.
But is every step towards the truth just another move in the OSIRIS’s greater scheme?
Adam lived an idyllic life, growing up in the rural United States. He showed promise as a student and held a fleeting dream throughout his existence that he would one day prove himself enough to travel to the stars.
But every breath of his life was a lie.
Adam has been grown in a machine, onboard a research station orbiting Saturn, and designed to be its perfect operator. Had the experiment succeeded, he would have launched from earth as an astronaut and woken up on the far side none the wiser. Thanks to an accident, he has arisen years early, without the training and development that would have allowed him to thrive and accept his life.
Adam has been provided the opportunity to live his greatest dream, although the circumstances are merely an illusion. As the arbiter of humanity’s most ambitious research mission in history, will Adam accept his fate or strive against those who stole his early years of innocence?
