Resistance strikes. Orbiting dead space. A single shot to reverse the order of nature. We give our backs to the curvature of the earth and set the plan in motion. An artifact renders it motionless, a window of opportunity. Synchronicity is broken. The needle punctures the crust of the third sphere making it sick. A mutant to their kind with an inseminated marrow bone. To die by our own hand rather than succumb to uncertainty.
