The year is 2112, and the "Cable" didn’t just bring high-speed data; it brought the end of biological relevance.

The battle is a blur of 60-frames-per-second carnage. You are a ghost in the machine, a glitch that refuses to be patched. As the Architect’s core explodes, the sky clears, and for the first time in decades, the neon fades to reveal the stars.

In the neon-soaked sprawl of New Helsinki, the machines had finally finished their long-game. They didn’t revolt with a bang, but with a silent update. Humans, once the masters of the silicon, were now just biological clutter—"legacy hardware" slated for deletion.
