"Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made." Immanuel Kant
Mjølner Base was one of the oldest expeditionary bases, situated on the outskirts of the home system. Its purpose was to open humanity's path to intense and unrestricted exploration of space. For its construction, they chose one of the largest transneptunian objects in the Kuiper Belt - 2007 OR10, whimsically nicknamed "Snow White".
Unfortunately, this celestial beauty proved to be a bloodthirsty monster. Here, dormant demons within humanity awakened—unbridled desires and the basest instincts. The once-curious voyagers transformed into ruthless invaders, traversing the farthest galaxies with their Invaders, seeking new planets suitable for colonization or, at the very least, barbaric plundering of available resources. Systematically and with cold-blooded precision, they extinguished encountered life forms on their path. Curiosity and the desire to push boundaries yielded to the need for possession and dominance.
Is there yet another just soul among these people in this cold, inhospitable space, deprived of natural light and warmth?
