Victory isn’t always clean.

Goddess of the Galacticide opens with a causality weapon, fractured memories, and a truth that refuses to stay buried. Episode 1 is where it all begins.

The causality bomb didn’t kill the Võmémééř.
It shattered their ability to understand.

But Linuka remembers the moment that should’ve erased her past.

Why?

#SciFi #Galacticide #SpaceOpera
A cosmic, hyper-detailed scene showing the exact moment a causality bomb detonates and reality fractures. A blinding white sphere at the center bursts with jagged cracks of pure black void spreading outward like lightning. Spiraling ribbons of warped space, fractal patterns, and floating debris shift between solid, translucent, and impossible states as time unravels. Bold text at the top reads “Goddess of the Galacticide,” with smaller text beneath stating “Episode 1,” “Their End Begins,” and “by Bert-Oliver Boehmer,” arranged like a cinematic poster over the chaotic cosmic backdrop.

Some days, the stars align. On other days, my weird stuff aligns. The manganese-oxidizing microbes that turn one of my current WIP’s planet’s topsoil purple are also a great reason to keep my silicate lifeform back on the ship because it will mess with its body’s silicate-manganese chemistry.
