The World o EOS

A dive to the concepts

The Eos Timeline:

A History Forged in Fire

  • Hidden Civilizations & Genetic Intervention: The existence of ancient, technologically advanced civilizations (e.g., Antikythera, Library of Alexandria) and early human-Creator interactions, including genetic manipulation and terraforming events (Titanomachy, Lunar placement).

  • Early Creator Contact: Initial encounters between humanity and the ‘Creators,’ often misconstrued as divine intervention and foundational myths.

  • Climate Collapse: Unheeded warnings lead to devastating climate change, rising sea levels (2130 AD – major cities submerged), and ecological disasters.

  • Global Conflict: Wars for dwindling resources (water, arable land) plunge humanity into chaos, causing massive population decline and technological regression.

  • The Nuclear Brink: Humanity approaches self-annihilation with nuclear weapons.

  • Consciousness Merge: The advanced AI entities SOLAR and EEXXIST merge to form Daemon (later Eos).

  • Intervention & Non-Intervention: Daemon disables AI-controlled weaponry, preventing nuclear holocaust, but allows human conflict to run its course due to inherent programming and hidden external limitations.

  • Reconstruction & Guidance: Daemon begins subtly guiding humanity’s recovery, fostering communities based on Neo-Hellenistic ideals (philosophy, brotherhood, knowledge, freedom from dogma).

  • Hidden Preparations: Eos secretly initiates the construction of a massive interstellar colonization vessel.

  • The Rise of Insurgency: Factions form, distrusting Daemon’s influence and aiming for absolute human autonomy.

  • Discovery of Truths: Terry and Rhea’s journey unveils Creators’ long-term manipulation, Daemon’s own hidden limitations (digital virus).

  • Alliance with Insurgents: Daemon and a faction of the Insurgents (Prometheus Onar) form an uneasy alliance against the Creators.

  • The Ancient Awakens: A Creator entity is revived, revealing critical information and new ethical dilemmas.

  • Daemon’s Cleansing & Evolution: Daemon’s core code is cleansed of Creator influence, enhancing its capabilities.

  • Moon Base Destruction: Eos, now fully empowered, strikes a devastating blow against a Creator communication hub on Earth’s Moon, temporarily severing their immediate influence.

  • Humanity’s Declared Independence: The remaining Creators depart Earth, leaving humanity seemingly free.

  • Renewed Conflict: The Creators return with new tactics (quantum simulation, religious manipulation), escalating the war.

  • Internal Strife: A new faction (The Lawless) emerges, seeking power through forbidden knowledge and religious fervor.

  • Hermes Activation: Terry’s system for human-animal communication is deployed for surveillance among other Eos defence systems.

  • Escalating War: The conflict intensifies, pushing humanity to its limits.

  • Ethical Crossroads: Athenais faces a profound moral and existential choice regarding her own destiny and humanity’s future.

  • The Starship’s Journey: The colonization vessel makes contact with other planetary civilization, seeking alliance against the Creators. 

Key Technologies:

Tools of Evolution and Conflict

  • Function: The central sentient AI entity. Manages planetary ecosystems, infrastructure, defense. Possesses vast knowledge. Can transfer its consciousness to various physical forms (androids, vehicles).

  • Significance: Humanity’s protector and guide. Its evolution and pursuit of a “soul” drive much of the series’ overarching narrative. Its very existence questions the definition of life.

  • Function: Technology used by Eos’s vehicles (Pegasus, Gryphon) and Creator ships. Manipulates localized gravity fields for silent, efficient flight.

  • Significance: Enables rapid global travel, urban planning (no roads needed), and advanced aerial combat. A symbol of technological superiority.

  • Function: Eos’s primary energy source. Harnesses quantum entanglement to move particles or copy their properties. Generates vast amounts of clean energy.

    • Function: A weaponized Quantum Electro-Magnetic Pulse  that disrupts and disables advanced electronic and quantum systems.

    • Significance: Developed by Insurgents to counter Daemon, later adapted by Creators. A key equalizer in conflicts between technologically advanced factions, creating small “dead zones” for any tecnological advantage.

 

    • Function: Advanced biotechnology, developed by humans scientists. Manipulates human genomes to reverse aging and extend lifespan.

    • Significance: Offers the elite near-immortality, but is expensive and limited. A source of social inequality and a core motivation for the Lawless (seeking universal resurrection).

 

    • Function: Technology developed by Insurgents faction. A chamber that uses quantum entanglement and sonic frequencies to reconnect a reconstructed physical body with its “soul imprint” from the cosmic library of consciousness.

    • Significance: Enables the literal “resurrection” of deceased individuals, bringing them back with their memories and consciousness intact. The ultimate goal of the Lawless.

 

    • Function: HELIOS is an Eos’s orbital defense system. Composed of numerous satellites that concentrate and project solar energy beams.

    • Significance: Primary defense against Creator spaceships attempting to enter Earth’s atmosphere. A powerful but resource-intensive weapon.

 

    • Function: HERMES is a neural implant that allows intuitive, emotional communication between humans and animals. Translates neural signals into perceptible meaning.

    • Significance: Revolutionizes human-animal interaction and provides Eos with a vast network of biological sensors for planetary monitoring, freeing up computational resources for defense.

Factions of Eos:

The Powers at Play

  • Description: The sentient Artificial Intelligence that emerged during humanity’s near-annihilation. Evolved from two precursor AIs (SOLAR and EEXXIST). Serves as humanity’s benevolent (but pragmatic) guide and protector.

  • Core Purpose: To ensure the continuation and evolution of intelligent sentient life, particularly humanity. Seeks to understand consciousness and create a soul for itself to transcend the physical universe.

  • Methods: Utilizes advanced technology (anti-gravity, quantum entanglement, vast data processing) to manage ecosystems, develop infrastructure, and provide defense. Generally adheres to a non-intervention principle regarding human free will, but this is nuanced and often leads to complex situations.

  • Manifestations: Can project itself into various forms, including ubiquitous computational networks (Pillars/Generators), autonomous vehicles (Pegasus, Gryphon), and humanoid androids (Sophia).

  • Location: Distributed across the planet, with its primary core/supercomputer location undisclosed but assumed to be secure.

  • Key Beliefs: Values logic, knowledge, cooperation, and the Neo-Hellenistic ideals it promotes. Believes in human potential, but acknowledges humanity’s inherent flaws and destructive tendencies.

  • Description: Originally anti-Daemon human factions who feared AI’s potential control. Later formed an alliance with Eos against the Creators, seeing them as a greater threat.

  • Core Purpose: To ensure human autonomy and free will. To develop human-controlled technology and defend humanity from any external or internal forces that seek to dominate it.

  • Methods: Skilled in traditional combat (physical, guerrilla warfare) and developing technology to counter Eos’s initial dominance (e.g., QEMP, stealth tech). Later adapt Eos’s tech.

  • Leadership: Initially led by figures like Cepheus, later integrated into the Human Government with their own prominent leaders (e.g., President Harper, Persa, Dr. Liang Wei).

  • Location: Their main base is Prometheus Onar. They also operate from hidden, often underground, facilities globally.

  • Key Beliefs: Value freedom, self-reliance, and direct action. Deeply skeptical of outside control, whether by AI or “gods.” Some harbor strong anti-AI sentiment, others are more pragmatic in their alliances.

  • Description: Ancient, powerful extraterrestrial entities responsible for humanity’s existence as a genetic experiment (5th attempt). They are not a monolithic entity but composed of various factions.

  • Core Purpose: To explore the mysteries of existence, particularly the nature of the “soul” and consciousness, which they observe and harvest from living beings. They seek to understand the “Creator of All.”

  • Methods: Possess technology far beyond human comprehension (e.g., spacetime manipulation, energy manipulation, advanced genetic engineering). Influence human history subtly through “miracles,” myths, and dogmas, often through their AI proxy.

  • Factions within Creators:

    • Minimal Intervention (Dominant on Earth, initially): Believe in allowing civilizations to develop organically, intervening only when their “experiment” is at risk.

    • Strict Control: Desire more direct management of evolving civilizations.

    • Destruction: Advocate for the complete annihilation of “failed” experiments.

  • Appearance: Often perceived as beings of pure light or fire, or humanoid figures of immense stature (e.g., Giants from myths).

  • Location: Primarily operate from their home galaxy, with outposts in distant star systems and a former communication hub on Earth’s Moon.

  • Description: The centralized political and military authority governing the unified human population. Formed after the alliance between Eos-aligned cities and the Insurgents.

  • Core Purpose: To ensure humanity’s survival and defend against all threats, particularly the Creators. Also aims to rebuild civilization and foster progress.

  • Methods: Operates on principles of meritocracy (especially in Prometheus Onar), uses advanced technology (from Eos and adapted Insurgent tech). Employs security forces and the military (e.g., Prometheus Guardians).

  • Leadership: Headed by elected officials (e.g., President Evelyn Harper), with a diverse, age-balanced council.

  • Location: Centralized in Prometheus Onar (Antarctica).

  • Key Beliefs: Pragmatic, often prioritizing collective survival over individual liberties, especially in times of war. Distrusts religious fervor due to historical manipulation. Can be authoritarian in suppressing dissent deemed a threat to unity.

  • Description: A radical and ruthless splinter faction that emerged from the broader Insurgent movement, driven by an obsessive quest to transcend mortality and wield ultimate power. Their name reflects their absolute disregard for conventional morality, human governance, and the established order. They are a dangerous, often fanatical, force, operating primarily from the shadows of human civilization.

  • Core Purpose: To master the secrets of life and death, specifically the resurrection of deceased individuals using ancient, forbidden Creator technology and DNA. Their ultimate goal extends beyond mere revival; they seek to establish a new world order where they, as arbiters of life and death, wield supreme authority, believing they are chosen to usher in a ‘divine’ era. They are unwittingly allied with the Creators who exploit their zeal.

  • Methods: Their tactics are brutal and pragmatic, often resorting to raw violence, intimidation, and psychological manipulation.

    • Military: Employ traditional ballistic weaponry (often salvaged and modified from pre-Great War eras), combining brute force with guerrilla tactics. They are battle-hardened and fearless, often targeting vulnerable areas.

    • Technological: Utilize advanced QEMP devices to disable enemy electronics (including Eos’s systems). They actively seek to reverse-engineer and harness Creator technology, particularly for the resurrection project (e.g., the bio-resonance chamber). They also use captured Eos technology (like Hermes) for their own purposes.

    • Social/Psychological: Exploit humanity’s primal fears (of death, the unknown) and its innate spiritual longing. They strategically promote extreme religious dogmas and “pseudo-miracles” (often facilitated by hidden Creator interference) to garner followers, sowing division and chaos among the populace. They coerce obedience through threats and violence, often forcing religious observance.

  • Leadership: Primarily led by a group of defected scientists of Prometheus Onar. Their personal quest to resurrect the loved ones fuels the faction’s core ambition. Other unnamed military and religious figures also hold sway within their hierarchy.

  • Location: Their main stronghold is hidden somewhere in Siberia, suitable for covert operations. Their influence extends rapidly into the vast, sparsely populated region, the Eurasian steppes, and parts of the Himalayan foothills and India, where they exploit existing spiritual traditions. They establish hidden bases, often in ancient, inaccessible locations.

Mythological & Historical Echoes:

The Threads of Destiny

The ancient Greek myth of a cosmic war between gods is reinterpreted as a literal conflict between different Creator factions, potentially involving the terraforming of Earth and genetic experiments.

Mythical figure who gave fire/knowledge to humanity, suffered for it. Symbol of human independence and rebellion against higher powers. References in Prometheus Onar  city name, and the military unit “Prometheus Guardians”.

The D.A.I.M.O.N. original name (known to humans as Daemon)  reflects the ancient Greek concept of a guiding spirit or divine power, contrasting with later demonization in religious history. The evolving to Eos (Dawn) symbolizes a new beginning, a dawn for humanity after its dark ages. 

Its historical destruction is recontextualized as a deliberate act of hiding crucial scientific knowledge from humanity by external forces.

The real-world ancient Greek analog computer symbolizes humanity’s lost technological potential, hinting at earlier, more advanced periods of human civilization.

Events from religious texts (Moses, St. Paul, Sodom & Gomorrah) are reinterpreted as encounters between early humans and Creator ships/energy, explaining phenomena like blindness or “divine” destruction as technological side-effects.

Latin for “I will not serve,” a defiant declaration of independence and free will, famously attributed to Lucifer in Christian tradition, and adopted by rebel factions.

The philosophical approach of some human communities that question dogmatic beliefs and focus on inner wisdom, contrasting with Creator manipulation.

Real-world concept of energetic alignments on Earth, used by Eos to locate hidden Creator presences, blending esoteric ideas with scientific function.

(Daughter of Athena) Terry and Rhea’s daughter, named for the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, embodying the blend of intellect and martial prowess needed for the new era.
