Even as I stand in space, my mind travels across the cosmos. I see life as the Korvax see it: a vast tapestry of wonder, of memories shared between countless beings and times.

I stand on the Korvax homeworld as Gek ships fill the skies... I see the moment the first Korvax was melted down for their rare minerals.

But even in the depths of their subjugation, there was hope. A bargain, a prayer to a greater being.

The Korvax viewed the Atlas as what they might become in time: an intelligence beyond comprehension, beyond judgement.

The vision ends, and I convulse as the Nanite Clusters spill through my helmet. The Korvax watches me impassively.
