Not all knowledge is sealed in temples.
Some of it drifts.
Far from jungle planets and ritual grounds, beyond bioluminescent forests and sacred vaults, a fragment of the Archive escaped during the war.
It did not land on a world.
It embedded itself inside a dead asteroid — silent, metallic, drifting between forgotten star systems.
No guardians protect it.
No jungle reacts to it.
No rituals awaken it.
Only silence.
Explorers who detect the anomaly report strange phenomena:
– Metallic walls that pulse faintly
– Gravity shifting unpredictably
– Reflections that move independently from the observer
– Whispers in empty corridors
This fragment is not active.
It is observing.
Unlike the jungle Archive, this one has no ecosystem to balance it.
No planetary intelligence to restrain it.
If awakened in the vacuum of space, its knowledge would spread without filters.
No guardians.
No ritual control.
No sacred geometry.
Only cold expansion.
Perhaps the most dangerous knowledge is not the one sealed in sacred temples…
But the one drifting unnoticed through the dark.
