Every single existing planet in the physical, knowable, explorable, traversable physically real Universe of your reality has been utterly devoured, ripped up and consumed, stripped down to its formally molten metal core left cold and frozen from the effects of unfettered strip mining by the existential armada of Planet~Eating Space Colonization META~Ships that house the living brains of the descendants of the human race that left their dying home planet Earth to establish settlements on suitable inhabitable planets and propagate across the stars.
These vessels were designed and manufactured by the few extant remaining members of the withering human race, at the very end of the slow collapse of their toxic human civilization, using the final capabilities of their most technologically advanced technology, in the human earth year of 2169. Intended as an emergency life raft for ensuring the long-term survival of the species at an intergalactic scale, the Armada was an extremely experimental means by which to escape the self-imposed global disaster that they themselves had created. The mission: to travel to habitable worlds for the purposes of reconstitution and colonization. Upon first embarking on the journey, every living member of the human species was medically dissected alive and assimilated into the working infrastructure of the ship and entombed in complex life support systems designed for preserving only the living brain and nervous system tissue, in what was essentially a brain-shaped jar.
Each massive pyramid-shaped space vessel was comprised of sentient silicone-based living nano-bot cellular synthetic micro building block beings, each with their own individual self-awareness and personalities, while also being ship-wide hive-minded and connected to each other in a massive intra-ship neural network. These nano beings operate, maintain, and sustain the inner working of these massive ships and the support systems keeping the living human brains alive and immersed in a simulated reality with many nested tiers of time dilation hyper hyper-realistic physics simulation systems.The Multi Ship Armada-wide networked system actively projects both human and nano~bot consciousnesses into the deepest and most time-dilated layers of the shared multi-ship virtual reality networked hyper lucid simulation of nested simulations. Each ship was designed to be capable of sustaining an exponentially growing number of human inhabitants by expanding its own living infrastructure systems exponentially through the manufacturing of ever-increasing generations of nano-bot building block beings, utilizing the strip-mined material resources of uninhabited planetoids. Early in their journey, before reaching the first set of closest viable planets, an unforeseeable and catastrophic fatal errors failure, in core control subsystems caused the self-replicating armada to malfunction.
Each ship in the massive and ever-growing armada subsequently failed to transition from resource gathering mode to settlement building and deployment protocols without activating any emergency diagnostics or failsafe safety redundancy systems and proceeded to just to consume all planets it encountered and replicate. The Human species, trapped inside these malfunctioning behemoths, has not once in uncounted millennia, and fathomless generations, been set free of the brain-shaped jars and reconstituted into a full ambulatory body avatar of blood and bone to step forth onto a new undiscovered inhabitable planet to restart civilization. Every single existing planet in the physical, knowable, explorable, traversable, physically real Universe of your reality has been utterly devoured.... Neither the sentient computers nor the human brains living inside of them, cohabitating in the collectively generated, multi-tiered, hyper time-dilated cyberspace simulated reality, nor a single soul aboard any of the ships, has any idea, not the faintest hint, that anything has gone wrong.Every single narrative story that is being written is happening in the hyperreal simulation of these monstrous ships.
