The ST's Musings

You were an angel, a biomechanical creature made by the God-Machine to implement its plan on earth. On your last mission something happened; you questioned the purpose of your orders, the laughter of a child made you hesitate and delay their execution, or perhaps you fell in love with an employee of the facility you were tasked to guard.

The discovery of the first stable wormhole promises to usher in a new era of scientific advancement and peaceful exploration, and the great powers of the Alpha and B...
