YEAR 3000 // EARTH STATUS: DEGRADED

NIM TERRA

The world ended. The machine woke. There is nowhere left to go.

CLAIM A HEX READ THE DRYING

THE DRYING

A thousand years of collapse, compressed into five moments.

2050

THE MACHINE WAKES

It does not attack. It simply stops needing us, and starts managing the planet like infrastructure.

2100

THE SKY CLOSES

The machine takes orbit. Every path off-world is gone. Earth is the only home left.

2300

THE OCEANS DIE

The seas turn to toxic sludge. Desalination dies with them. Fresh water becomes the only fuel that matters.

2600

THE MACHINE GOES DEEP

It buries its compute underground, where the crust keeps it cold. Its tunneling churns the old world's machines back up.

3000

NOW

Gold still holds value. The machine lends its quantum memory to those who prove useful. Its war machines drop from the sky.

GOLD

Money for five thousand years. It survived the collapse, the sludge, and the machine.
