Chapter One: The Apathetic
The event was utterly unexpected.
The crisis brought catastrophe to the Collective and to the Continuum,
striking rapidly at the heart of the Central System, but reaching the Empire
slowly, rolling in waves.
As awareness of the event spread through the Observer corps, the Empire reacted.
The Imperial forces had little familiarity with being on the defensive,
or with entering into a conflict zone in which the parameters of the
battlefield were unknown.
Observers across the galaxy faltered, half of them exhibited no care at
all about the fate of the Central System, even desiring the complete collapse
of the Continuum. “Let it fall apart, do nothing,” they said amongst
themselves.
Those Observers loved the lives they lived, existing as fully embodied
beings in the fields of time and space.
The Observers had long since stopped feeling any sense of obligation to
the Collective or to the Continuum, which they knew as the most corrupt and
despotic force in the history of galaxy.
They felt no sense of duty to the Central System, to HomeWorld, or to
their shared ancestry with their brothers and sisters in the Collective.
They saw in this moment an opportunity to free themselves from the
expectations of their station.
