'Project Eden…?'
The name sounded unfamiliar to Azriel. He couldn't recall it from the book, though he doubted he could trust it anymore—especially after his other self confirmed the book had never been real.
Thinking on this only raised more questions, which he quickly pushed aside, listening to the doctor as he continued without a hint of concern.
"You know, 666... I joined this organization, this cause, and follow the Supreme Archon because I believe in him—his vision, his dream. I believe we can create a new world, one where humanity will survive without despair, tragedy, or death."
The doctor continued.
"A few years ago, a phase-1 void rift opened close to my home. My wife and daughter were out that day, and the void creatures found them. They devoured them like animals, unmoved by their screams and pleas. By the time I arrived, it was too late… we humans are too weak. There must be a change, and you, 666—I believe you are part of that change."
