THE ALIGNMENT ECHO III The Alignment Network Humanity has identified an ancient relay near the edge of the Oort Cloud. It is part of the Alignment Network-gravitational pathways linking civilizations across the Milky Way. Some are still active. Some have gone dark. HALO-1, humanity's most advanced probe, is sent to investigate. What it finds changes everything: Velocity unchanged. Distance decreasing. Space itself is not fixed. The network has been shaping spacetime-creating corridors where distance collapses and travel follows the curvature of reality. Humanity discovers the universe itself has been engineered for travel Some civilizations are participants. A few became builders. Long ago, one of the first builders left the galaxy... and never returned. The anomaly they pursued is now heading toward us. Humanity has been given a choice: join the network- or help build what comes next.
