"Don't come back! Don't return!"

That was the last message Tom received from Earth before the signal died. Stranded 15 billion kilometers from the sun, he has enough supplies to survive alone for fifteen years.

But Tom doesn't want to die alone. He wants to conquer.
Desperate, Tom activates the ship’s biological livestock tank. He doesn't breed cattle; he clones himself. When the clone opens its eyes, Tom realizes he hasn't just created a helper, He has unlocked a Hive Mind.

One consciousness. Multiple bodies. Parallel processing.
More clone, more processing power

But power has a price. With twelve clones now awake, his fifteen-year food supply has shrunk to a death sentence: One year.
Forced into a corner, Tom must lead his clone army to the frozen, airless surface of Loshen Star. Armed only with 19th-century steam technology and sheer grit, he must ignite the fires of industry in absolute zero.

He is no longer just an astronaut. He is the Swarm. And he will turn this dead planet into a civilization of one.

Upon receiving this message, Tom smiled.


"Now, what conditions do you still have? Do you still want independence? Do you still want to leave in the future? Do you still want to maintain the name of Havilah Civilization? Do you still want autonomy?"


In response to Tom's reply, Havilah Civilization remained silent for a long time before answering: "No conditions, unconditional surrender."


"Don't force yourself. If you don't want to surrender, you don't have to. At worst, you'll die, right? The final choice is in your hands. I can't force you."


"There are really no conditions, really... we surrender unconditionally."


Tom said with a smile, "Then let's do as I say and transfer everyone to my spaceship."


Even before this, Tom had already modified tens of thousands of large habitation ships to meet the survival needs of the Havilahs—no, now the Viller People.
