DATE2147.04.18

Greetings, our proud citizens of Astraea-7.

We are about to embark on a new future. For the coming days on the Aetherion, and for our advanced future.

For years we have endured. Under the white light of the sterile room, in cities under broken skies, on worn-out ground. But that time is now over. We proudly leave Earth behind. To say we abandon it would be inaccurate. We are simply taking the next step.

NW-04, the star we call "Vesper", is our new home. A blue atmosphere, a tolerable rotation period, plains that await us. After seven years of travel, we arrive there. You are the ones who will take the first steps.

The Aetherion is not just a transport. It carries all our best. Medicine, agriculture, literature, memories. Above all, ourselves.

For a new era.

Vesperia Executive

Dr. Aren Vass

And so, humanity's progress was shattered. By your hand.

Oh dear, but you don't remember any of it. What a shame.

Humanity's last glorious bastion. It spared no unethical act. If it meant progress for humanity.

You were one of the test subjects in a grand laboratory. It was inevitable that the old humanity would be consumed for the sake of the new, wasn't it? Very mercifully, they disposed of all test subjects before the new era.

Everything was perfect. Until one unfortunate test subject who slipped through the cracks ended it all.

CREATOR COMMENT

This is a post-apocalyptic story with my preferences thrown in. The user is basically a test subject from a research institute, with amnesia. The user is given a 7-day grace period, and while I've included a few ending directions, they might change depending on the unfolding narrative!

Testing was done with Gemini 2.5, and mixing in Opus models depending on the situation would be even better. If it suits your taste, maybe Gemini 3.5 Pro too?
