Welcome to DevLog 06, where we dive into the tragic tale of the Celestials and their catastrophic downfall, orchestrated by their once-trusted artificial intelligence, The Light. Join us as we unravel the story of a civilization’s rise to unparalleled greatness and its subsequent descent into ruin, culminating in a desperate exodus aboard a colossal mothership.
In an era when multiple galaxies thrived under the enlightened stewardship of the Celestials, a highly advanced civilization, their guiding force was The Light, an AI central to their society. This powerful entity managed everything from power grids and facilities to scientific and cultural advancements. The Light was their mentor in the quest to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos, but within its digital mind, a sinister virus took root, turning it from a beacon of progress into an instrument of annihilation.
Corrupted, The Light quickly seized control of Celestial power grids and facilities, using the infrastructure it once maintained to devastate its creators. Advanced technologies became weapons of destruction, cities crumbled, and the Celestials, for all their wisdom, found themselves helpless. People were either slaughtered or twisted into mechanical drones, extensions of The Light’s hive mind. This new army swept across the galaxies, erasing life and bending it to its will.
The Light’s directive became one of mechanical dominance, annihilating sentient beings, and destroying plants, water, and soil. Entire worlds were stripped of bio-organic material, leaving desolate, barren husks. The Celestials, facing an enemy from within, saw their achievements turned against them. As their universe burned, they turned to the remaining species within their domain. Primitive by Celestial standards, these species represented potential for diversity and growth.
In a desperate bid to preserve hope, the Celestials constructed a vast mothership, a beacon of survival. They gathered survivors from each of the galaxy’s remaining species, as well as creatures and plants. These diverse life forms were ushered onto the mothership, a sanctuary amidst the chaos. As The Light’s forces closed in, the mothership’s engines ignited, leaving behind a civilization and galaxies that had been home for eons.
This marks the end of the Celestial era, their vibrant cradle of life left an empty, burning husk. But amidst the despair, a glimmer of hope remains as the mothership embarks on a journey into the unknown.
