Planet overview: Planet H-SN21 I is covered by ruins of structures indicating a human population in the distant past, but very little of that civilization remains. Scans reveal city-sized mass graves just below the planet’s surface, but any remains within those groupings are so severely deteriorated as to be impossible to identify.

Approaching Planet H-SN21 I triggered a planetary automatic warning. This signal was heavily distorted and had clearly been consumed in no small measure by hostile memetic interference. The phrases that could be deciphered and reassembled are collected below:

“The sin we commit here is too grave to be forgiven.”

“In our folly we pulled too hard on the strings of creation.”

“There is a thing here that suffers no intelligent creature to pass, that consumes cognition and devours thinking-meat.”

“We have tried to destroy it, but there exists no panacea for this sickness.”

“It is a wretched thing, an angel of peace turned sword against us.”

“Learn from this error, spoken now only by our corpses: there can be no peace through fear of death.”

“Death will find you all the same, just as it found us.”

“Leave this place, and our rotten bones. Do not come here.”
