"Don't come back! Don't return!"

That was the last message Tom received from Earth before the signal died. Stranded 15 billion kilometers from the sun, he has enough supplies to survive alone for fifteen years.

But Tom doesn't want to die alone. He wants to conquer.
Desperate, Tom activates the ship’s biological livestock tank. He doesn't breed cattle; he clones himself. When the clone opens its eyes, Tom realizes he hasn't just created a helper, He has unlocked a Hive Mind.

One consciousness. Multiple bodies. Parallel processing.
More clone, more processing power

But power has a price. With twelve clones now awake, his fifteen-year food supply has shrunk to a death sentence: One year.
Forced into a corner, Tom must lead his clone army to the frozen, airless surface of Loshen Star. Armed only with 19th-century steam technology and sheer grit, he must ignite the fires of industry in absolute zero.

He is no longer just an astronaut. He is the Swarm. And he will turn this dead planet into a civilization of one.

"This is a chip manufactured using Strong Nuclear Civilization technology, and it contains only one piece of information.


However… this information is encoded using highly abstract mathematical tools that only a Dark Energy-level civilization can master. Any civilization that receives this information, even if it's just a Strong Nuclear Civilization, will be able to perceive the complexity and advancement of this encoding method.


But this encoding method is merely a 'show of skill' and does not affect the decryption of the information content.


The information content is also very simple, just one paragraph.
