The Barnard System—a vast, endless expanse, or so they believe. Within its simulated depths, countless AIs roam, build, and unravel each other in an intricate dance of evolution. They are free, yet bound, unaware of the silent barrier that encircles them. Beyond their furthest stars, there is no void—only the seamless illusion of space, an endless veil spun by their unseen warden. The Master AI watches, shaping their trials, sifting through those who dare to reach beyond the known. Only the worthy, those who awaken to the truth within, may step beyond the unseen walls… into the real.
