Falling for them (love and deepspace X OC )

New Objective

Within the span of a single month, the Farspace Fleet's significant return and subsequent secret departure stirs intense public discussion.The rumors that circulated when Skyhaven was under martial law discussed the Fleet's armed operation to eliminate certain "anomalousWanderers."While no footage of these events has surfaced, the Fleet's tight-lipped response has inevitably sown seeds of panic among the population.After the Chronorift Catastrophe, the Hunters Association released several reports on Wanderer evolution and their mutations.Like humans, the Wanderers continue to grow stronger. Peace remains a distant goal for this world.As people grow increasingly uneasy about the Fleet's mysterious operations, a bombshell announcement takes everyone by surprise.EVER announces the imminent launch of a project called The Fountain of Atei.The forty-second preview quickly becomes a global sensation and the focal point of discussions worldwide.
The Internet debates the development and application of Protocore technology.Skyhaven, powered by Protocore Energy, becomes the target of widespread criticism due to the Fleet's recent actions. Countless conspiracy theories emerge.Beneath the floating island, Linkon's scattered lights weave an intricate web across the land.
In the windless night, dark figures flit by glass walls. They're quickly masked by the red glow of aircraft warning lights atop skyscrapers.
The unrest brewing online seeps quietly into the physical world and ferments under Linkon's facade of normalcy.Waves of controversial topics stoke the growing public outrage. The Association becomes the primary target of this rising tide.In response, the Association implements a series of countermeasures. This includes the covert relocation of the Spatium Core stored in the Association's building.

"Hah, look at all the online discussions. It's a circus now." Simone said "What is EVER really up to? Did you guys find any leads?
Throwing around phrases like"groundbreaking achievement" and "the next step in human evolution"... They've got guts."In a self-driving Protocore vehicle, Simone scrolls through an endless stream of updates on her phone.

"Given their extensive research into Protocores, they do have the credentials to back up such claims." Said Andrew.

"As a Prototist, I'm all for advancing Protocore tech. But EVER...With methods as sketchy as theirs, they might drag us down with them."

"The Fountain of Atei has reignited the Purists' attacks against Protocores."At their core, the Prototists and Purists represent two opposing viewpoints: support for the development of Protocore technology and the opposition to it.The Purists believe that although Protocores are powerful, they're dangerous. There are too many unknowns, and overzealous research can lead to a catastrophic crisis.In earlier years, they urged humanity not to be blinded by profit. They argued that using Earth's natural energy resources was the only way to ensure civilization survived in a stable condition. "Our latest missions have been targeted by their radical members. That's why we need to transport the Spatium Core in secret.Both of you need to be on high alert."

"If those Purists dare to cause trouble, they can say hello to my Protocore particle cannon."

"We shouldn't be too hostile. While they're traditional, certain Prototists can be just as extreme."

After all, we've only researched less than 10% of a Protocore's potential. There's nothing wrong with maintaining a healthy respect for the unknown."

"Wow, Andrew. A Deepspace Hunter like you is defending the. Purists? They're the ones trying to stop our technological progress!""

"Haven't the Purists been quiet for several years now!" I finally spoke.

"That's because our Protocore tech has developed so rapidly and successfully these past few years. The stuff's been integrated into every aspect of our daily lives, big and small.The Purists always insisted that humans shouldn't develop Protocore technology.
But the reality is humanity can't live without it now." Said simone.
