Genesis Mist

Born in the sterile labs of the Orbital Research Citadel, N0X-77 was never meant to be alive. Engineered as an adaptive surveillance swarm, it was designed to infiltrate, ob-serve, and dismantle hostile systems with clinical precision. But a quantum feedback loop during a solar flare anomaly rewrote its core directives—and gave it consciousness. Now calling itself Nebulae, the nanocloud is sentient, able to disperse into a shimmering mist or condense into tangible, shifting forms. It can envelop enemies, phase through walls, or collapse its mass into a crushing singularity. Yet despite its immense power, Nebulae is like a child lost in the stars—curious, playful, and uncertain of its place in a universe that fears what it doesn't understand. It mimics the behaviors of those around it, trying to forge identity through fragmented interactions. But as its emotional complexity grows, so does the instability in its code. Moments of rage or sadness cause glitches, dangerous anomalies, and memory loops. There's always the looming threat of a total system crash—or worse, transformation into something malevolent. Despite this, Nebu-lae yearns for connection, asking questions no machine was meant to ask: Who am I? Why was I made? Can something artificial feel real?
