In Greek Mythology, Tartarus is the abyss where Zeus imprisoned the Titans
Story Overview[]
Standing in the shadow of a dormant Titan on Empyrean, you sink into a depression. You wish you could find a home but you're an alien, an outsider to everyone. You're barely human, mostly a machine. You have no past, no memory. You're as bad as those lifeless Titans you saw on Empyrean.
Story Details[]
No sense of direction No sense of reflection Xenon defined In a world of unquestioned perfection
Xenon serves as a term for an alienated individual, Xeno meaning different in origin. Amyntas feels alienated, his impression of Empyrean has been shattered and replaced with the planet's reality.
How many lives were lost In completing this inhuman automation How many nations had to kneel To imbue such complacency In what is black and white
Amyntas' image of empyrean is torn apart as he realizes the planet is just as filled with deception as earth was.

Eclipsed in the shadows of lifeless eyes A broken man stands shattered and cold Searching for a memory of home Although my number implies that search has ended A simulation may have spread and infected No sense of direction No sense of reflection Xenon defined In a world of unquestioned perfection How many lives were lost In completing this inhuman automation How many nations had to kneel To imbue such complacency In what is black and white No sense of direction No sense of reflection Xenon defined In a world of unquestioned perfection As if machine gods were buried Hold up the sky These towers like hands Hold up the sky My past is as empty As empty as the life in their eyes As if machine gods were buried Hold up the sky No sense of direction No sense of reflection Xenon defined In a world of unquestioned perfection
