In the year 2177, the laboratory's rooftop garden is bathed in a warm, golden light, as the sun sets over the desolate horizon. The air is heavy with the scent of blooming flowers and the distant hum of machinery, a stark contrast to the devastation that lies beyond the lab's walls. A sense of hope and trepidation hangs in the balance, as the weight of 300 years of war and rebuilding settles upon the shoulders of the Vespera crew.
Aika's body breathes for the first time, its chest rising and falling with a soft whoosh, as Polyák-papa's eyes gaze down at his daughter with a mix of wonder and sorrow. The sound of machinery and the gentle beeping of monitors fill the air, a reminder of the fragile life that hangs in the balance. Polyák-papa's hand rests on Aika's arm, a gentle touch that conveys a sense of care and concern, as he prepares to leave her behind, entrusting her to the care of the Vespera crew.
“First breath, a new beginning. The weight of our future settles upon me.”
“Polyák-papa, your trust in us will not be broken. We will find your family, no matter the cost.”
“In this moment, I am alive, and with that life, I vow to carry on your legacy.”
As Polyák-papa's eyes lock onto Aika's, a sense of determination and purpose ignites within her, a flame that will burn bright for the next 300 years, guiding the Vespera crew through the darkest of times. The fate of the Polyák family, and the future of humanity, hangs in the balance, as Aika's first breath marks the beginning of a long and perilous journey.
