In a Distant Future

29 March 2190

"The Ryze Corporation is one of the most successful technology companies in the world. Famous for its incredible inventions, Ryze has been leading humanity towards a new and remarkable 23rd century.

Today, we will witness the live launch of their most advanced technology yet: a signal system capable of sending data wirelessly at the speed of thought, reliable even across the vast distances of the universe. This is not just innovation — it is a leap that promises to change the course of human history forever."

Humanity had reached heights once thought impossible. Cities stretched into the skies, technology connected the world instantly, and scientists explored the secrets of the universe as if they belonged there.

A wormhole had appeared near our solar system. From it came a signal — strong, deliberate, and unnerving. It was unlike anything humanity had encountered. Governments around the world watched in alarm. Scientists from every continent raced to decode the message, working day and night. Satellites scanned the sky. Observatories analysed every particle. Entire nations held their breath.

Weeks passed in tense anticipation. Finally, the signal was broken. And what it said chilled every soul who read it:

"Attack. Attack. Attack..."

Panic spread like wildfire across every continent. Governments around the world tightened their armies. Citizens lived in constant fear.

In the United States, the government refused to sit idle. They form an alliance with Ryze Corporation to develop a solution — a weapon unlike any before. A biotechnological weapon capable of granting humans chance to against something that they barely understood.

The project was classified, secret, and urgent. Scientists worked around the clock. Failures were common, and risks were deadly. Yet, hope persisted. And thus, in the shadow of panic and fear, the TerraSync Project was born — humanity's first true line of defence against a universe that had just declared war.
