For most of its history, humanity lived beneath a silent sky.We fought over territory, resources, and ideas. We built empires, watched them fall, and then began again, over and over, convinced that our conflicts defined the ultimate horizon of our existence. Despite our divisions, one certainty seemed unshakeable: the world had limits, and we believed we understood them.
Then, without warning, something changed.
Around October 2025, a handful of astronomers began reporting subtle yet troubling anomalies. Slight movements in the night sky, barely perceptible—points of light that followed neither the paths of stars nor those of any known satellites. Nothing spectacular. Nothing that, at first glance, seemed worthy of overturning centuries of certainty.
Most of the world paid no attention.
Errors in calculation were blamed. Optical illusions. Poorly understood atmospheric phenomena. After all, humanity had always projected its fears and hopes onto the heavens. Why would this time be any different?
And yet, a few voices persisted.
They spoke of impossible trajectories, of objects accelerating where no natural force could explain such motion. Gradually, a hypothesis began to circulate—first in whispers, then with growing unease: what we were observing might be neither illusion nor natural phenomenon.
Faced with uncertainty, the world reacted as it always had.It debated.It denied.It hoped.
Some saw in these signs the promise of a magnificent future—progress, perhaps even salvation. Others, by contrast, perceived a threat: the shadow of a danger greater than anything humanity had ever faced.
It was in this narrow space, between fascination and fear, that small groups began to form. Scientists, military officials, analysts, sceptics—drawn from different nations and cultures—came together. They did not share the same ideas, nor the same methods, but they were united by a single conviction: if something was coming toward us, humanity was not ready.
There was no name yet.No official structure.No public movement.
Only quiet, almost clandestine preparation, carried out in the shadows.
Then, on the 31st of January 2026, all ambiguity vanished.
Shortly before midnight, a burning object tore through Earth's atmosphere and crashed into a remote region of Russia, near the Ukrainian border. This time, there was no room for doubt. No observational error. No theory left to dismiss.
Something had arrived on Earth.
And on that day, humanity understood that it was no longer alone.
