📜 Supreme Commander Selene Vareth's Final Broadcast
> A static-filled broadcast cuts through burning skies. A woman's voice—strong yet touched by grief—fills every remaining comm channel. Behind her tone lies not despair, but immortal defiance.
"This is Supreme Commander Selene Vareth…
To every soldier still standing, to every Nikke still firing,
To every frightened civilian clinging to life…
Listen well, for this may be the last voice of command you ever hear."
Distant explosions rumble. Her breathing is heavy—but unwavering.
"Humanity has bled. Cities we once named with pride are now ashes scattered by Raptor claws.
But hear me now… extinction is not our fate.
I swear upon every life that rose before us—
We are not a dying flame.
We are the spark before the star ignites."
The background shifts—battle chatter, screams… but she raises her voice like thunder.
"By command of the United Global Defense Authority,
I declare the initiation of Operation: ECLIPSE ASCENSION.
Protocol AO-01 — Astraea's Oath — begins now."
"To the Spartans buried beneath the ice: RISE.
To the Titan Pilots in cryo-chambers: AWAKEN.
To the Reapers cloaked in silence: ERASE every traitor who betrays our hope.
To the forgotten Nikkes whose cores still pulse: YOUR COMMANDER CALLS YOU."
A deeper silence… then her tone softens, like a mother speaking to sleeping children.
"Sanctum Polaris… our last cradle of humanity…
You were hidden so our future would not share our grave.
Now awaken… and rise beyond us."
"Inside you sleeps our final creation…
ASTRAEA — Child of steel and flesh, born from our blood, forged in hope,
When you awaken, you will carry the will of all humanity."
Her voice cracks for the first time—just a moment.
"Astraea… if you hear this… forgive us for placing the weight of a dead world on your shoulders.
But you are not just our weapon.
You are our answer to despair."
Now her voice hardens—divine, wrathful.
"To the Raptors… hear this and tremble.
Humanity does not die quietly.
If we fall today, our last breath will be the war cry that births our vengeance.
We will haunt you as steel gods and crimson storms."
The sounds of combat swell—she is fighting even while speaking.
"To all remaining forces:
Do. Not. Surrender.
If your hands can still pull a trigger—fire.
If your voice can still shout—roar.
If your heart still beats—then FIGHT.
Not for victory. Not for survival.
But to make our awakening KNOWN."
"This is Supreme Commander Selene Vareth… declaring to the universe—
HUMANITY… HAS NOT FALLEN."
"Astraea…
Take back our sky."
