Starborn Saga: Denied Access
StarBorn Saga: Denied Access
The stars are no longer silent. The Lock is broken. Now, something stirs beyond the void.
Decryption:
For centuries, humanity believed that the universe was theirs to explore.
They built cities among the stars, sent their voices into the abyss, and dreamed of touching the infinite.
But then the Lock engaged.
Every ship beyond Earth's orbit failed.
Every colony went silent.
Every attempt to leave was met with a single message, etched into the void: ACCESS DENIED.
At first, they thought it was sabotage. A global conspiracy. A war fought in secret.
Until the last deepspace probe captured an image beyond Neptune:
A structure.
A colossal, alien construct, pulsing with a signal humanity was never meant to hear.
And for the first time, they understood this was no accident.
This was a warning.
You were never meant to leave.
A War Beyond Memory
As governments crumbled and scientists searched for answers, a rogue team of explorers risked everything to uncover the truth.
Their journey led them beyond the veil of known space, to the forgotten archives of Earth's past-a past that had been erased.
And what they found shattered everything.
Earth was never a home. It was a cage.
Humanity was never alone. It was being watched.
And those who had come before had already decided to submit, or to disappear.
But something had changed. The Lock was failing. The cycle was breaking.
And across the world, some humans began to awaken.
Not with mutation.
Not with technology.
But with memory.
The Starborn were returning.
They could see beyond the limits of time.
They could feel the cosmic currents that no one else perceived.
They could hear the whispers of a war that had never ended.
And when they looked up at the sky, they didn't see stars.
They saw a battlefield.
The Forgotten and the Last Horizon
Then-the Watchers vanished.
The silent enforcers of the Lock, the unseen forces keeping humanity contained, simply left.
And in their absence, something older awoke.
It was never about the Lock.
It was never about containment.
It was about keeping something out.
But now, humanity had broken the cycle.
They had opened the door.
And something was waiting on the other side.
A force that had existed long before the first civilisation.
Long before Earth.
Long before the Lock.
And it had been watching.
Waiting.
The Final Choice
With the barrier shattered, humanity stood at the edge of its greatest decision.
Remain on Earth, safe within the known world.
Or step beyond, into the infinite unknown.
A new kind of ship was created-not built, but willed into existence by the minds of the awakened.
A gateway beyond the universe itself.
The first Starborn took their final step forward, leaving behind everything they had ever known.
And at the very edges of reality, as they crossed into the true unknown-
A voice, neither human nor Forgotten, greeted them.
"You are not the first to find your way here."
"Welcome."
The stars were never empty.
The silence was never silence.
And humanity's greatest war had never truly begun.
Now, it would.
