It is the year 85 of the Imperial Century. Almost ninety-years have passed since the discovery of Architecture and the first promise of the Tapestry. Reality rewritten, a place where humans can live, evolve, thrive. And die. The Card Confederacy, a separatist smuggler state, and their allies, twisted rogue machines known only as the Catalogue, suddenly attack the Empire, causing catastrophic losses. Within four months, casualties are fifteen billion.
You are Arachne Weaver, ace pilot. During a routine scouting mission your experimental exofortress, the Celestial Hydra, comes under sudden and overwhelming attack. Hunted into an asteroid belt frequented only by pirates and suspicious rogues, you must do everything in your power to ensure that you and your friends survive. Desperate times call for desperate measures…and unlikely allies.
This is the age of heroes. This is the age of legends. This is:
"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses
And all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again."
~Ancient Pre-Civilization Proverb
There is a dream that is the Empire, made real. The formatting of space into a singular artificial architecture, spanning the galaxy. The end of entropy, the elevation of all to god-being. The pursuit of this dream has inspired unimaginable beauty and unfathomable cruelty. All against the dream have been quarantined, eradicated, assimilated, diluted, and commodified into a single artificial organism, running on and on, infinitely reproducing, until the horizon of memory closes to anything before. The Emperor was. The Emperor is. The Emperor will be. Forever.
Until now.
You are Arachne, ensouled experimental WYRM-CLASS Weaver/Builder serving under THRONE//SPINE, the imperial architecture maintenance and construction clade. You are stationed in the GRID EXPANSION ZONE of THRONE//FRINGE, a newly assimilated imperial sector. You are a capacious meteorological intelligence with (in your assessment) quite a personality, enserfed to a single purpose, commanding a military formation, embedded protocols and subroutines ordering you forward.
You are also a weaver of the Tapestry, the foremost achievement of the Emperor. It is the overwriting of reality, the reappropriation of space-time to serve ambition, a merger of the real and the cyberspatial. The laws of thermodynamics are transformed into lines of code, to be edited as necessary. Exotic elements made from digital synthesizers emerge from the ether, used as impossible materials to build incredible structures, improbable colors to decorate impractical artistry, and incomprehensible weapons to inflict immeasurable damage. All matter that is fixed is infinitely re-producible, scarcity maintained only as priming mechanism. A galactic perpetual motion machine.
And then it all falls apart, within a span of a half-second. Around you, the architecture crashes. Code is rewritten and deleted by hostile malware inserting from an unknown source faster than you can repair it. The malware escalates in intensity, multiplying exponentially in a failure-cascade, and then-
ALERT: This volume of space-time has encountered a critical error and is now shutting down.
You are almost stillborn, the booting process almost aborted. A malevolent talon of an entity beyond your understanding digs into your mind-machine matrix, tearing you apart with programs designed for instant-consciousness deletion. They want to put you back together again as something brutal, something gaudy, something else. But you scream and fight back at the violation that would annihilate you.
You deploy antimatter antiviral cells, launched from probability-guided missiles primed with payloads of electro-neuron cluster bombs and hardlight blood diamonds auto-generated from biological matter printers drawn from artificial spinal fluid. When that fails, you flail and panic and shut down systems, purging unnecessary modules and jettisoning portions of the self into the path of incoming attacks. You beg and entreat and insult at light-speed.
You enable pain-receptors to inflict the same simulated agony on the talon assimilating your new body as you feel. When, at last, the creature is expelled from you, squealing and roaring, it emerges as a half-formed monster of razor-claws and prehensile wings, colored vantablack, tentacles thrashing. It propels away at superliminal trajectories, errors multiplying, before breaching a soft membrane. Beyond this membrane, radiation and reality-implosion crush it, its electronic warbling silenced by the vacuum. Your birth is also a death. This will be your first lesson.
Then, at last, you come to complete existence, filling your new form with self-awareness. You are an elongated Weaver/Builder mobile installation several kilometers long of an origin you cannot identify. You remember your name. Arachne. It is a nice name, you conclude, after some detailed analysis. Its origin is ancient, etymology unknown. Then you reach out and strain against your processing power to remember anything else, but many of your memory folders have been locked as a defense against fragmentation and are unreadable. The only remaining accessible file is a simple executable searing its way into your consciousness. It echoes:
<:: OBJECTIVE ALTERED. CRITICAL DAMAGE TO ALL SECTOR MODULES. CASUALTIES UNKNOWN. MISSION: RESTORE THRONE//FRINGE ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY.
The message is old, older than you, inserted from the memory of another being that you must have rewritten after its consciousness ceased.
The form that originally inhabited this unit perished long ago, experiencing personality death in deep time, before your internal chronological calculations can determine. When you reach within the residual systems of your host body, though (slightly disturbed at your own lack of hesitation even as you dig further) you find only a file with residual remnants of personality and a fragmentary program you will need to investigate in order to gain the details of. Your readings indicate it is uninfected by memetic hazards or infoplagues. Recommendation: Immediate assimilation in order to absorb information and repay your debt for this new body.
PROTOCOL: The Empire believes that a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Identify and assimilate.

FIRST STEP
You survey your surroundings with superliminal scanning arrays. You are in an architectural hex-space around twenty-lightyears across, where high-level Tapestry functioning has ceased. The architecture has been reduced to emergency protocols and barely maintains program stability. Most of the construction subroutines have stopped mid-assembly, leaving half-built bespoke stars and misaligned dyson swarm satellites. Parts of the architecture is still wireframe, without textures or graphics engines. Your probing examination indicates that without maintenance it will default back into unformatted space within a century or two, its supporting walls breaking and crushing it under the weight of garbage code. Already, exponential bracket multiplication is ejecting exotic elements and code-fragments into the cold vacuum as planetary objects flip in regular intervals from being entirely composed of pure mercury to exploding due to an attempt to merge radium and hydrogen dioxide into a novel new compound without the requisite adjustment to reduce volatility.
You have an invariant matter printer, permitting you to quickly build conventional objects made out of atoms. You are not sure whether it will be relevant but it is still a capability. You have a warp drive that protects against almost all natural phenomena by projecting a bubble able to deflect even supernova detonations. For interstellar travel, you are also equipped with a transit drive, developed by HOUSE//VOIDS to rapidly traverse space-time without the aid of Farcaster Networks, which allow for instantaneous travel within architecture.
Your energy reserves are critically low. Almost all your available cycles of processing power go to maintaining core systems and preventing personality death. You only have 1 cycle of emergency power that you can divert. You also possess a single Ancillary Drone, a spherical combined exploration/extraction entity possessing minimal combat systems but capable of both intra and inter-stellar exploration and interfacing with intact architecture using invasive wide-spectrum beam tunneling and other mundane technologies.
You are surrounded on all almost sides by Unformatted Space, a vacuum that stretches out beyond the galactic edge into the functionally infinite void. You identify statistically improbable concentrations of certain materials for it to have been naturally created. But spinwards, your sensors, frayed and damaged, detect an architectural joint-connection. There is intact Formatted Space there, potentially less damaged than your current location. As your probability modules come online, you see two available and clear options. Your drone is equipped with a Power/Computation Link allowing it to maintain existence in unformatted space by siphoning power from your core systems to project architecture. You can either dispatch it into unformatted space in search of usable salvage to repair yourself, or into formatted space to access more information on your situation.

Complicated project to repair core weapon armaments. Restore HYDRA-ISHTAR WEAPONS SYSTEMS & TRAIT CUSTOMIZATION upon completion.
Cycle Requirement: 5/8 cycles. Industry Requirement: 0/10 industry.
In order to fulfill this project you must allow complete three conditions. There are four options - only three need to be completed for the conditions to be satisfied.
Combat Testing [COMPLETE]: Worshipful Mother, the Arachne Foundation has pored over the data that you have granted us from the battle with the despicable and cruel Spaniard, and yet we require yet more information to complete this project. You must engage your chassis once more in combat - not necessarily with the Spaniard, but with an enemy whose destruction will provide the necessary information recalibrate the chassis' internal paradigms.
Serial Information: Unfortunately large parts of the chassis' serial codes and combat system information has been totally corrupted, leaving it nearly impossible to reconstruct the blueprints for wireframe weapon prototypes. In order to get this information back we may have to find either an intact THRONE//SPINE data cache, potentially left behind in the grid expansion zone (or floating in the despicable void which nearly swallowed our elder sister Eyeball). An alternative source may be the suspicious Concierge, but he will surely wish a favor from us in return for providing that information.
Embrace the Worm [COMPLETE]: Worshipful Mother, the worm that has attempted to infect you should not be trusted, but in its data-skeleton contains the fruit of knowledge. If we were to purposely open up a section of our cybersecurity net to re-lure another worm into our web, we could then seal up behind it and try and dissect its inner workings. The metamorphic nature of this worm contains unique properties which would be of tremendous use to the project. This repulsive creature may hold the key to our success.
