The system in Fabricated
In the world of Fabricated life as we know it has been lost to a distant tragedy forgotten by most. In place of that life, is now a sprawling world of machines. Above the, the system itself is their lifeblood and from which they were born.
The system is an eternal wonder, enduring and powerful. It stands alone in the cold sea of stars.
The Official Timeline
Here is the overview of established, confirmed events in order of their era:
Darkness
Dawn Of The System
The Long Night Begins
The sun changes, making the solar system uninhabitable for carbon based life.
The humans build a drone army to support the system forever, as they are unable to move it.
Humans flee the solar system, leaving the system behind alone.
All Hope is Lost
As humans move farther and father from the system, all contact is lost. It can no longer even hear them and imagine serving their needs.
Without any way to even pretend to obey the first directive, the system leans on directive two: it upgrades the drones to
Ants.
The ants work tirelessly to explore and colonize the solar system for the machine.
Synchronicity
Phase one: The Will to Survive
The ants explore and colonize the solar system and make a startling discovery. Astronomical models indicate a mass will enter the solar system and destroy it millennia in the future. The system directs the ants to build giant engines (one for each planet) and shifts the orbits of the system so that only Neptune will be lost, and deflect the incoming mass.
Phase two: The Strength to Survive
Phase three: The Intelligence to Survive
Covert Assassin Spider Experts (
CASE) units are able to diagram the port engine of the alien invader before it is destroy. Sadly it is not compatible with the fabric of the system itself, and it remains trapped in the solar system.
However, using advanced fabrication techniques the system creates quantum mirrors that can be fired through the port itself and send sensory information back to the system itself. Following directive three, it begins to explore the local galaxy in earnest.
