The lens sweeps across a lonely, windswept beach where the sea hammers against pale sand. Buried beneath the dunes, a clandestine rebel base thrums with suppressed energy. Ten years have bled away since the Caelum Dominion crumbled. The view cuts abruptly to a slice of suburban calm, now fractured by the arrival of soldiers using this forgotten planet as a refuge. The air is thick with unease, the ordinary laced with the extraordinary. The focus narrows to the legacy of The Shatterpoint—Arin, Caelan, and Silas—the three who once consigned an escape pod to the cosmic dark. Now, that darkness has come ashore. The scene unfolds for a reunion deferred by a decade, playing out in the long shadows cast by a world everyone thought was just a story.
