The Eclipse

Adventures of The Eclipse

A Collection of Stories by Lovely Lyssa

Summary:

In the year 3145, the civilizations of Earth fight over control of a single landmass, forged from the rise and fall of the human empire. Years ago, after discovering the true origin of mankind came from the stars, a select group of individuals, who call themselves, 'Kaneren,' tapped into the secrets of the homo-sapien genome and evolved beyond the previous reach of mankind. Instead of sharing their wisdom and technology with the rest of the world, they positioned themselves as rulers and gods, enslaving the lesser humans while performing genetic experiments in order to create new races altogether. Those who rebel against the Kaneren call themselves, 'The Eclipse,' and fight to create a free and just world.

Always thinking that there she was meant to fulfill some purpose, Vanessa took it upon herself to gather knowledge about both the past and future, from the E.C. Umbra's internal console, which was a vast library of information and the guiding intelligence of the craft. In a desperate move to save an injured Elsa during a vital mission, she merged her mind with the Umbra's interface to take control of a remote craft, causing her consciousness to become the new interface.
