Who unjammed SoulNet?

MANTID FREE WORLDS
Well, we thought it might be Legion, but he's in the Sol System due to Case Omaha, so, when you get right down to it, we don't know.

TREANA'AD HIVE WORLDS
That's kind of bothering me, I have to admit.I mean, we don't know anything about this old Terran system.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
PUBVIAN FEDERATION
"Old." You know, it's so weird that for a Terran system three hundred years is old, but for most of us, that's a generation or two.

TELKAN FORGE WORLDS
It's kind of weird, yeah.

RIGELLIAN SAURIAN COMPACT
Pfft, none of them got within a light week of the edge of the system. I think we'll be OK.
But, you know, we don't really have many records of the SoulNet and SolNet system.It's kind of... well... alarming that apparently the Terrans built an entire system that can just wave its hand and return the Pubvians to life.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
PUBVIAN FEDERATION
You know, the weird thing is, none of you remember that the Terrans managed to SUDS us up.

TREANA'AD HIVE WORLDS
And some of your people saw Treana'ad in the system?

PUBVIAN FEDERATION
Oh, without a doubt. Just ones on Terra.

Interesting.I wonder how many records got destroyed during the war and then because of the 1% Line?
Plus, well, we have to wonder: Who are we missing?
Seven species?
That are registered with a system that crashed over eight thousand years ago?
TerraSol's been keeping secrets.

TERRASOL
Is that a surprise?
/////////
PUBVIAN FEDERATION
Not really.
So... how did we get brought back?
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
TERRASOL
I have no idea.
Remember, we didn't come online until after the Imperium collapsed. The original 'gestalts' weren't quite like us.
/////////
PUBVIAN FEDERATION
Yeah, it sounds like it's been a little exciting while I was gone.
Hey, listen, TerraSol, I get it that the Immortals are wrapped up in everything, but...
...we'd like to call The Pubvian Who Stood Alone back home.
He's got a wife and kids.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
TERRASOL
I'm going to be honest with you. I have almost no control over the Immortals.
/////////
MANTID FREE WORLDS
They're from the whole "WAR! WAR TO THE HILT!" period after the Queens attacked everyone.
That period's a little confusing.

TREANA'AD HIVE WORLDS
To use the quote: Records are spotty at best.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
PUBVIAN FEDERATION
Yeah, well, I'd laugh at you about the idea of a divine being except, well, you know.

AKLTAK FREE FLIGHT
Nothing to make a true believer out of someone than being part of a miracle.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
PUBVIAN FEDERATION
Is it really considered miracles? Maybe some type of high technology?
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
TREANA'AD HIVE WORLDS
To quote TerraSol again: Any sufficiently advanced technology becomes indistinguishable from magic.
Your worlds were glassed. Hell, your homeworld was nothing more than radioactive gas, howling isotopes, and blasted rock. Your entire system was trashed.

How much damage from the war remains?

Secret Worlds
He was no stranger to strife and the difficulties of life. Living life as an orphan while attending one of the world’s most affluent schools for the rich, tends to make his 17-year-old life pretty cumbersome. Still, the school gave him what he wanted- a higher education and if that meant he needed to be “the charity case”. Then so be it. Klaus Alexandros Roth, having just graduated top of his class, felt like everything was finally falling into place; He had exciting plans for the future and he was looking forward to this new chapter in his life, however, being abducted shortly after graduation and thrown into a world of cloak and dagger politics due to his bloodline was by no means part of the plan. Join his adventure as he travels to different worlds, discovers his roots, and maybe makes a few friends along the way. Synopsis Edited by Danetello. Please check out his work when you click on the link. (His Name) This is my first attempt at writing and showing it to others. If i make mistakes please show lenience sempai! Forgive them, but dont forget to point them out. You will notice large flashy warnings of sexual content and gore. Yes there will be those things, but no sexual abuse or any other overly nasty stuff. Disclaimer: I dont own the cover and will remove it immediately if asked to do so.

Man from the machine
Do you want to read a story about a life? A world? Are you looking for a story where the main character isn't handed powers, circumstances, love and achievement, simply because he exists? Where the characters aren't just tokens that fill a cliche? A world that isn't easy, simple or convenient? Or safe.. A story of struggle, love, friendship and pain? Then this might be the story for you. We follow Nathan's second life in a new world, a world he never wanted to go to. A world where he doesn't belong. A world of magic, wonder, great beauty and endless possibility. A world with no humans. He will have to forge his own place in the world, with the knowledge from ours. We start our journey slowly, before the story begins, with his childhood. Where it goes, I don't know. I hope you will join me on his journey, as he tries to find his way home. Are you ready to begin?
