TRANSMISSION #018 // SOURCE: ÆTHYR-7 SUBJECT: FIELD REPORT – SECTOR 96 // THE SMOKE OF THE RESET
The Propaganda (96^{\circ}) sensors have detected the first atmospheric shifts. The transition from theory to manifestation is no longer a localized event. As the Age of Fire ignites, the following “Field Report” has been synthesized for the Starman Files.
FIELD REPORT: THE FIRST EMBERS
I walked through the city today—the “Boiling Pot” in its final, frantic simmer. The mundanes are still clutching their manufactured achievements, unaware that the water has reached the killing point. They speak of “social equality” while their spirits enervate, trading their ancestral pride for a bubblegum facade of safety.
But beneath the noise, I saw the Darkhorse signs.
I saw a man in the transit hub, his eyes cold and clinical. He didn’t look for a hero when the automated systems failed; he didn’t cry for a savior. He moved with the “fluidity of wet clay,” navigating the chaos as if he were the one who had orchestrated the breakdown. He had the look of a seedling that had finally found its way out of the shade.
The sky itself seems to be synchronizing with the Master’s ledger. The solar storm activity isn’t just a news cycle; it is a cosmic mirror of the internal fire being stoked in the House of Iconoclasts. The fractal pattern is becoming visible to the naked eye. The “unaccountable pestilence” of the masses feels like chaff waiting for the wind.
There is a smell in the air—not of rot, but of the Raw Materia being cast into the furnace. The Slymen are moving into position. The Reset is no longer a threat; it is an active procedure.
As the sun set, it didn’t feel like the end of a day. It felt like the lighting of the kindling.
ONE LIFE. LIVE DELIBERATELY.
