        2395, converted 2408-2472, launched toward Tau Ceti.
        Now called Marathon. Still yours.

     DURANDAL
     └─ One of three AIs aboard Marathon. Operations. Classified
        functions. Possible ally. Intercepted logs suggest awakening.

     └─ Post-2466. Decentralized. No leaders. No hierarchy. A
        frequency, not an organization. Everyone and no one.

     Phobos
     └─ The remaining moon. Fear. The witness. They considered
        taking it too. They decided to leave us our fear.

     Sekiguchi Genetics
     └─ Corporation. Cryo systems. Colonist selection. Keeps
        secrets. We've helped expose some.

     Stickney Crater
     └─ Impact crater on Phobos. 9.7 km. Nearly destroyed the moon.
        Phobos survived. Deimos did not survive the UESC.

     └─ Star system. 12 light-years from Sol. Destination of
        Marathon. ETA 94 years. Where Deimos will become a world.

        who don't look away. You, probably, if you're here.
