A Terraforming system to re-inhabit the earth after the war.” Silas looked up at Kael, and a show ran over my back. "The 'E' in E.D.E.N. is not for Earth, Kael. It's for extinction. Extinction Direct and evolutionary neogenesis.”

Broken electronics, lost texts, and food or water scraps that would have meant the difference between life and death were among the items discovered in these ruins. Under layers of dust and soot, the elaborate decorations on a broken urn were hardly discernible when she brushed her fingers over its jagged edges. Ash from the empire covered her flesh and clung to her clothing. The more she searched, the more she understood that the fire had just scattered the ruins of a broken world, even though she had previously believed it had destroyed everything. She had once been a part of a world that she had known.

"You break into my study, you keep your cool when live rounds start flying, and you looked at that forged ledger today like you already knew my signature had been stolen." "I told you why I'm here," Maya whispered, her heart hammering against her ribs, caught between the dangerous pull of his presence and the raw truth of her mission. "My family was destroyed in that fire. If someone framed you to start that war, don't you want to know who it is?" Julian stared deep into her eyes, searching for any trace of deceit.

I also noticed broken chains. I walked to the nearest door and looked through the space where the door should have been. I noticed green smoke filling the room.

My knees wanted to give in, making me fall to my knees, but I fought against that urge, as crying now would serve no purpose.
