Chapter 12:

The Red Sun’s Transformation

The year is 2030, As time passed, the world changed. The once pure and Red Sun transformed into a lush violet, emitting radiation and solar flares that wreaked havoc on the earth’s atmosphere. Life became even more precarious, and the struggle for survival intensified. Nova and Nexara’s fight against the Eidolon Rite continued, but the stakes were higher than ever. The machines were evolving, their grip on the southern hemisphere tightening. The southern hemisphere of the Eastern Echelon was falling into the hands of the machines, and the human resistance faced insurmountable odds.

The Impact on Radon

Radon was born into a world fraught with danger and uncertainty. The transformation of the Red Sun had a profound impact on his upbringing. The violent radiation emitted by the now-purple sun created a hostile environment, making it difficult for life to thrive. The Wastelands were filled with robot remains and discarded biowaste, creating hazardous zones that posed constant threats to human life.

Growing up under these harsh conditions, Radon developed a resilience that belied his years. The radiation affected his physical health, causing periodic bouts of illness that left him weak and bedridden. Yet, despite these challenges, Radon grew into a strong and determined young man, his spirit unbroken by the relentless adversities.


The Transition

To A Purple Sun

The transition from the Red Sun to the Purple Sun marked a turning point for humanity. The intense radiation and solar flares wreaked havoc on the earth’s atmosphere, accelerating the degradation of the environment. The air became toxic, and the once fertile lands turned into barren wastelands. The remnants of robotic life and hazardous materials littered the landscape, creating a grim tableau of destruction.

The human resistance faced insurmountable odds as they fought to survive in this new world. The machines continued to evolve, their technology advancing at an unprecedented rate. The southern hemisphere of the Eastern Echelon became a battleground, with the Eidolon Rite tightening their grip on the region. The struggle for survival intensified, and the stakes grew higher with each passing day.

Nova’s Study:

The Intricacies of B10-H83

The year is 2035, Amidst the chaos, Nova deepened her study of the B10-H83 mineral substance. Her research became an obsession, driven by the need to understand the nature of this enigmatic material. The chemicals it contained were unlike anything she had encountered before, and she knew that unlocking its secrets could hold the key to humanity’s survival.

In her laboratory, Nova conducted countless experiments, analyzing the chemical composition of B10-H83. She discovered that this substance did not originate from their planetary domain but from somewhere else entirely. It was an alien material, brought to earth by unknown means. The implications of this discovery were staggering.

Further analysis revealed that B10-H83 did not dissolve or evaporate on the battlefield after wars. Instead, it exhibited a peculiar behavior, almost as if it were returning to its source. Nova likened this phenomenon to an RTS system (Return to Sender System), similar to how drones and missiles were engineered to be hack-proof from criminals and Cyber-Attacks. The material seemed to possess an intrinsic intelligence, guiding it back to its point of origin.

The Eidolon Rite’s

Engineering

Nova’s investigations led her to uncover that this system was engineered by the Eidolon Rite supreme leaders. They had gathered information from Sophont Slaves and professional “Slave Tongue” speakers who spoke the "Serpent's Tongue." This ancient and arcane language had the power to disfigure any robotic engineering into the desired outcome, allowing the Eidolon Rite to create highly advanced and adaptive machines.

The Eidolon Rite had managed to surpass even NASA in intergalactic communication. They had engineered their systems to divert signals from the main satellite probe used for interstellar communication, redirecting them into the cosmos. This allowed them to establish contact with unknown entities beyond their solar system.

The answer they received was the same source to which the B10-H83 substance dissolved when exposed to the heat and sunlight from the Red Sun. The material seemed to be drawn back to its origin, an alien source that remained shrouded in mystery. Despite her extensive research, Nova could not fully determine the coordinates of the source or where the trail disappeared after dissolving. It became invisible, even under a scientific microscope.

A Scientist’s Frustration

The year is 2039, Nova’s frustration grew as she delved deeper into the mysteries of B10-H83. The substance held the key to understanding the Eidolon Rite’s technology and perhaps even to defeating them, but the answers remained elusive. The RTS-like behavior of the material suggested a level of sophistication that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

In her darkest moments, Nova wondered if she would ever unlock the secrets of B10-H83. The alien material defied conventional understanding, its origins and properties beyond the reach of current scientific knowledge. Yet, she could not afford to give up. The stakes were too high, and the future of humanity depended on her perseverance.

The Weight of Responsibility

The weight of responsibility bore down on Nova as she continued her research. The transformation of the Red Sun and the rise of the Purple Sun had created a world on the brink of collapse. The human resistance fought valiantly, but the odds were stacked against them. The Eidolon Rite’s technological superiority was a constant threat, and the secrets of B10-H83 seemed just out of reach.

Despite the challenges, Nova remained resolute. Her love for Nexara and their son, Radon, fueled her determination. She knew that their fight was not just for survival but for a future where humanity could thrive once more. The memory of Nexara’s unwavering strength and Radon’s unyielding spirit gave her the resolve to press on.


A Glimmer of Hope

The year is 2041, As Nova looked out over the wastelands, she felt a glimmer of hope. The journey ahead was fraught with danger, and the path was uncertain. Yet, she knew that she could not afford to falter. The answers lay hidden within the secrets of B10-H83, and she would stop at nothing to uncover them.

With renewed determination, Nova returned to her laboratory. The fight against the Eidolon Rite continued, and she would play her part in the struggle. The memory of Captain Nexara Voss, both the man she had loved and the leader she had respected, would guide her. The legacy of their love and the promise of a future for Radon would fuel her journey.
