Endless Corridor 4600

Four thousand six hundred years ago, an ancient civilization known as the 'Star People' faced the threat of annihilation by 'Silent Pollution'—a nihilistic force that devours memories, history, and the very existence of civilizations. Seven mark holders, on the Ur salt flats, mortgaged the entire existence of their civilization to the 'Cradle Protocol' system, borrowing a 4,600-year reprieve. This was not salvation. It was a usurious 'promissory note.' Now, the note is about to come due.
