The transition to the Delta-Network was a jarring departure from the industrial roar of the Gamma-Forges. There was no soot, no heat, and no screaming machinery. Instead, Kaelen and his vanguard stepped into a world of absolute, terrifying Silence. The air was cool and smelled of old vellum and ozone, and the sky was a deep, velvet violet, devoid of any sun or stars.
They stood at the base of the Great Stacks—monolithic towers of ivory-colored data-shards that stretched so high they vanished into the purple haze above. This was not a world for living; it was a world for Remembering.
