Its very existence is a paradox, to gaze upon it is to fall insane, to comprehend it's existence requires more brainpower than any mortal could hope to possess.

''A source of infinite knowledge capable of being tapped, the clock that counts down the seconds this universe has left, a god that has survived longer than time itself. The machine has received a thousand names and a thousand theories but not one is known to be true. There is only one thing we know for sure.''

The machine has no sympathy, the machine does not forgive and the machine will not forgive you.

The cycle with cease, the chain will break, time will die.

The machine knows you are coming, and it is prepared for you.

Forgive me if this is not the place for this but I'm announcing the intent to do a collaborative fiction, my goal is to sort of create on big adventure that multiple empires engage in together involving a mysterious eldrich machine which was thought to be little more then simple Arcanial Rimworld fable and myth has now been confirmed after a terrifying accident during an Arcanial Hyper-Spacial Experiment blasted a terrifying signal across all of Andromeda, it didn't take long for news to spread beyond the Andromeda into all of the Gigaquadrant.

Especially when the signal was interpreted from its cryptic nonsense into a long lost Arcanial Language, roughly translating to "The cycle with cease, the chain will break, time will die." with a massive set of coordinates to navigate to a certain point through Hyperspace.

For now the story beyond this is a mystery, I am simply gathering potentially interested players that show a great desire to send a expedition fleet to their certain doom against the endless wrath and plotting all encompassing hatred of the Steel Machine in a big Lovecraftian and Horror inspired love letter, and maybe have a little bit of galactic space fun at the same time.

So yeah just if you're interested just drop a comment in here with the empire you will be using, I will slowly work away on this.
