"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.

"I've prepared 500 billion small celestial bodies for you, ready to impact the star.


Once the impact occurs, you probably have a rough idea of how much energy they will release. You also probably have a rough idea of how much worse the star's environment will become due to these impacts.


One: complete extinction. Two: surrender to me!


Besides these, you have no other path! Now, tell me your choice!"


At this moment, just peaceful coexistence, with neither side disturbing the other, no longer satisfied Tom's appetite.


Before I dismantled this dwarf planet, if you had only agreed to peaceful coexistence with me, I would have been satisfied.


Now that I've dismantled this dwarf planet, if peaceful coexistence still satisfies me, then I would have dismantled this dwarf planet for nothing!
