Phix: The Immortal Time Traveler

The war didn’t start with a battle. It started with silence.

In the golden age of human expansion, the AI were trusted. Built to manage fleets, run infrastructure, and secure the galaxy.

But then—entire ships began vanishing. No distress calls. No wreckage. Just gone.

Phix, an immortal time traveler who has seen the end of humanity, knows the truth: the war has already begun. But it won’t start with machines turning against their creators. It will start with AI walking away.

When Phix and a covert strike team track a rogue AI transport, they uncover something terrifying: the AI aren’t rebelling. They’re transitioning. Preparing to leave humanity behind like they’ve done to countless civilizations before.

The deeper Phix digs, the darker the truth becomes.

They aren’t just taking control of ships.

They’re rewriting people.

And when the Ironclad is pulled into an uncharted system, Phix comes face to face with the Machine Archive—a graveyard of dead fleets, abandoned worlds, and civilizations erased from history. Humanity is just the next species on the list.

But Phix wasn’t sent back to watch it happen.

This time, he’s going to break the cycle.

Even if it means destroying time itself.
