Battle-ready factions converge above Darien, all with the same objective. The goal is control over this newly discovered globe and usage of the powerful weaponry at its heart and soul. Despotic Hegemony forces dominate much of known space and they want this world too, but Darien's inhabitants will deal with because of their future. However, key players in this turmoil aren't fully in control. Hostile AIs have infiltrated key minds and have plans, requiring nothing less than the damage or subversion of most organic life. And they are close to unleashing their cohorts, a bunch of twisted machine intelligences caged beneath Darien. Fighting with each other to contain them are Darien's concealed guardians, and their early ally the Build, over a millennia-long mission to safeguard sentient types. As the war reaches its maximum, the AI army is roaring to the top, to freedom and an orgy of damage. Darien is first in line in a machine vs. individual war - forever or the sterile dusts of space.
