The Severed World
A civilization is running out of the resource it needs to exist.
Ameeba World is running out of Ameon, the finite resource that powers computation and continuity. The great Houses control vast reserves while compute starved regions begin to fail. Then people start disappearing.
When Max discovers a hidden pattern inside the Archive, he, Dev, Tanner, and Nova uncover a cryptographic trail left by an ancient civilization that faced the same crisis. The clues lead through forgotten Gates, abandoned cities, and worlds whose ruins preserve the history of the first war over Ameon. Somewhere beyond them lies a distributed Reserve large enough to stop the collapse. Every House wants it. Some want Max. And the deeper the team travels into the ruins, the more troubling the mystery becomes. The ancients survived their war over Ameon. Something else made them disappear.
If intelligence depends on a finite resource, who gets enough to continue?
