"We call it a mission, but let’s be honest: it was an eviction. Earth wasn't a home anymore; it was a furnace. ARK Alpha was the first to scream into the void, carrying the 'Purists' who thought they could outrun time. Then came Beta and Gamma, packed with the dreamers and the chrome-heads who figured if they couldn't save humanity, they’d invent something better. We didn’t come here to conquer; we came here because the alternative was extinction. Now, we’re scattered across a dozen stars, and the only thing we have in common is the 'Original Signal' we’re all slowly forgetting."
