The Architects of Silence

Why has humanity always survived its disasters, yet failed to achieve lasting peace or intergalactic exploration? The answer lies beyond the limits of our knowledge: for thousands of years, a superior alien civilization, known as "THE SYNERGICS", has maintained Earth under a strict and controlled quarantine. They are not hidden in the shadows, but within the fundamental structure of reality itself. Through neural resonance fields and the subtle manipulation of key events—from crucial inventions to global conflicts—The Synergics ensure that humanity does not evolve enough to become a cosmic threat, but also avoids self-destruction. Everything changes when Dr. Elara Vance, an isolated astrophysicist, detects a bizarre statistical anomaly in the universal physical constants—a cosmic "errata". As she digs deeper, she realizes it is not a mistake of nature, but a digital signature left by a superior intelligence. Now, Elara must convince a world that believes in free will that it is merely an ant farm maintained by an invisible hand, before these Architects of Silence (The Synergics) decide that their human experiment has gone too far.
