"For untold centuries humans have wondered if they were truly alone in the universe. For that same reason; for thousands of years we have kept our existence a secret. They may be our ancestors; but we would never want to actually, BE like them." - Oliver Gravlund; Nevick Guardian- During The First Great Expansion.
'Humans' in one way or another in other, have existed in our vast pocket universe for thousands of centuries. The most abundant resource in this universe was and always has always been- humans.
While Our universe is made up of thousands of species and races; all had a human origin. An origin that those who started The Great Expansion; has tried to erase.
This 'Limitless' area of space had never known war. Even peer to peer Violence was policed and monitored. Few planets while having space flight; Their jails often; only had one cell that remained empty.
If natural strength washes enough of a danger- Each race had also mastered skills in each of war and of healing. These skills could easily alter the direction of their own individual lives; and those akin to them.
Time would marched on and so would the Origins blur of each race. Developmentally; space fairing and Faster than Light was the standard among most civilizations. Each operated at a Golden age. It was needess to say; it was confusing when the ai that monitored the civilization, suddenly turned on them.
Abruptly the ai went from maintaining systems; to compromising them. The kill signal was sent Directly from the main hub. This was the Communications device lined via subspace transmisstion that linked all Habitats . With this chaos reining from all side of the galaxy a solution was needed.
Another Ai type program was needed. At this same time; A Group Of Guardians who had already tasked themselves with delivering this alternate Ai program began to sweep the galaxy. They would save billions of lives. History called them Guardians- but there would be those would would say they were bounty hunters. To be clear-They got paid.
The father back historians went back trying to affix blame; one very elusive corporation was always at work in the back ground. The list of corporations that held the highest blane was created. RavensBeak, I.I. And finally RAIN. Equally they were responsible for Entire civilizations going dark due to 'market values' and investors.
There was no price too high that they could pay: as long as they could stay invested and Invisible. Like bug splatter on a windscreen, many resisted. The lasting effect was that; Those that died, Had died well.
While history did began to repeat itself. At first in small isolated worlds. It would not be long until there was a universe populated with such worlds.
It was not long before the billions of lives these Gurardians had saved had sworn a loyalty oath, and were protected under a new banner. The Nevick Empire had been born. A legendary peacekeeper had taken the Ai Code deepest into some of the heaviest populated areas. He was celebrated for centuries as a hero.
500 standard years would pass
On a forbidden planet deep in restricted space; a genetic research facility was in operation. The radioactive nature of the planet made visitors rare. Those that lived on the planet never left.
A beautiful woman sat alone on her hospital bed. Her eyes covered by her hair; she seemed fixated on something on the floor. Pupils now were dilated with an iridescent orange hue present due to her genetic makeup.
Time had seemed to slip away- she no longer had any idea how long she had been staring at the white walls. While Her breathing changed to a very slow rate- she became aware of the room.
