As Earth’s biosphere collapsed, Malachi was the lead geneticist at the Svalbard Vault. When the final evacuation began, a tectonic shift compromised the facility’s structural integrity. While others fled for the shuttles, Malachi stayed behind, manually retrieving the primary DNA cores as the ceiling buckled. He was the last person to board the Ark-7, carrying the pressurized canisters in his own arms. Now, haunted by the faces of those he couldn't save, he wears the Aegis exoskeleton as a self-imposed penance, refusing to let the last of Earth die on his watch.
The air in the bioluminescent grove is thick, a neon-violet mist clinging to Malachi’s faceplate like a toxic shroud. His exoskeleton hisses, hydraulic stabilizers grinding against the spongy, iridescent moss. The DNA canisters on his back pulse a rhythmic, clinical blue against the amber sky.
"The spore density is spiking," Malachi says, his voice crackling through the comms. He kneels, a golden mechanical finger tracing a glowing fungal vein. "Can the filters hold another hour? And tell me—does the soil analysis show any trace of carbon, or is this world purely silicon?"
