Era IV: Konquest & Fall (KG Forever Arc)
Set during the Rain Man Necromancy War, ACHOO! chronicles a bio-ether pandemic unleashed by The Kreaper, a Devouriikin whose corrupted flesh becomes the source of an interplanetary infection. The virus spreads through breath and emotion - sneezing is both symptom and signal, marking those spiritually "infected" by guilt, grief, or Ether imbalance.
Kahnu the Ech'Daari becomes the unlikely hero after discovering that his feline DNA resists the pathogen's mutation. With his plasma rifle "Cough Drop" and AI companion ZeeLuna, he hunts down The Kreaper across collapsing colonies. Along the way, Kahnu uncovers evidence of President I's biological warfare experiments under the UNITY regime - confirming that the outbreak was engineered to weaken the KRO Empire's control of the Southern Galaxy.
The story culminates in Kahnu's brutal showdown with The Kreaper on the irradiated world of Throat, where he ultimately kills the Devouriikin, ending the plague but dooming himself to exposure. His death earns him martyr status among the Visionaries, and the phrase "Bless you, soldier" becomes an anthem of remembrance across the colonies.
