In the not-so-distant future, humanity had colonized several planets in the distant reaches of the galaxy. The United Earth Government (UEG) had established a program to explore and settle new worlds, dubbed "Project Cloud 9." The goal was to create self-sustaining colonies that could thrive in the harsh environments of the cosmos.

Their first discovery was a vast, crystalline cave system, which they dubbed "Onyx." The caves were filled with glittering, black crystals that seemed to absorb and refract light in dazzling ways. As they ventured deeper into the caves, they stumbled upon an ancient, alien artifact.

V062 and her team went into hiding, their whereabouts unknown. Some said they had retreated to a remote planet, where they continued to study Avtor and Decadence, safeguarding the secrets of the galaxy. Others claimed that they had been silenced, their research and discoveries erased from the annals of history.
