THE STARS AREN'T YOUR FRIENDS
On Earth, the stars were the ones being discovered.
But on Atlas Omega?
Anyone who was within plain sight of the cosmos discovered their true nature.
“Don’t even think about it,” I said to my subordinates.
“The stars aren’t your friends.”
“I don’t see how this relates to us,” one said.
“Is everyone here cleared for Top Secret information?”
Everyone nodded.
“Two cycles ago,” I said, “We dispatched a team to Atlas Omega for intelligent life.
Upon arrival, all signals reappeared across locations light years away from here.
They didn’t answer our calls.
You’re the next cycle.
Don’t look up.”
