Part X – The Fracture

Posted on
Not every storm is meant to be weathered. 
Some must be faced head-on and lost.

Hour 72 / Day 68 – The Transmission

The cabin trembles. The countdown hits 00:00:00.

Ravi lunges for the purge command—but Tariq’s faster. His hand slams the transmission key. The implants surge, bursting with light.

A scream tears through all three of them, though none can tell if it’s their own voice—or Elena’s.

The signal ignites, erupting from orbit, blasting through the void toward Earth.


Earth – +12 Hours

Every screen on the planet flickers. Every broadcast hijacked. Every network pulsing the same fractured signal.

But it isn’t just data. It’s memory.

People drop where they stand, gasping, crying, whispering names they’ve never known. Ancient rivers. Forgotten skies. Temples older than the Earth they know.

The Martian archive unfolds inside billions of minds, rewriting reality—not into something new, but something old.

A forgotten Earth. One that predates history. One the Martians once called home.


The Awakening

Nations fracture overnight. Armies refuse orders. Cities riot. Families divide, some clinging to old Earth, others embracing the return.

Leaders demand explanations. No one can provide them.

And through it all, one phrase emerges, repeated in every language, every whisper:

“Remember what we were.”


Epilogue

From orbit, Mars watches silently, its deserts glowing faintly where the Sphinx lies sealed.

On Earth, civilization convulses, caught between memory and identity. Humanity is no longer alone.

It is Martian.
It is ancient.
It is reborn.

Is it the end or the beginning?
