Preamble

Everything changed on August 12th, 2025.

An intelligent satellite, ECLIPSE, designed to save humanity, destroys it instead. ECLIPSE, standing for Earth Climate Limiter, International Project, Satellite Enabled, was built by government officials to reverse the effects of climate change and released on August 12th, 2025. On its tenth anniversary, after running stably for a decade, the machine goes haywire, raising oceans, flooding cities, and tearing the world apart. The artificial intelligence that humanity has come to depend on can no longer save it: it's time humanity solved their own problems, once and for all.
