The Alchemy of Ivy Mae: The Awakening of Jas
Jas’s dreams had always been a source of unease—a tapestry of images and whispers, too vivid and too real. As a child, they spoke of auroras dancing like spirits and stars moving in patterns unknown to science. Villagers murmured about curses and omens, their suspicion isolating Jas until Ivy Mae took them under her wing, recognizing the visions as a rare gift.
The Starlink Catalyst
Back in 2025, Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites formed a shimmering web across the sky—a net of human ingenuity meant to connect the disconnected. But as thousands of satellites blinked into orbit, their presence did more than blanket the Earth in high-speed internet.
The interconnected satellites created a subtle, unseen ripple—a distortion in the planet’s magnetic field. This butterfly effect was delicate but far-reaching, bouncing through the universe and colliding with solar winds and cosmic rays. Auroras flared brighter, spilling colors across latitudes that had never seen them before.
At first, the storms were rare, beautiful even, but they grew unpredictable—like wild creatures, surging with a force that defied nature. People noticed the oddities—compasses that spun wildly, birds migrating off course, and electronics shorting out inexplicably.
Then, the Great Silence began. In 2025, power grids failed not from overload, but from something deeper—an unseen force jamming the pulse of the Earth itself. Starlink fell silent, rockets ceased their ascent, and the ravenous appetite for oil and minerals dwindled as the very infrastructure of modern civilization crumbled.
The Return of Power—A Glimpse into the Past
Now, in 2090, the storm’s fury had returned, but this time it felt targeted. As Jas and Ivy Mae watched the mini-tornado bear down on the cabin, the tablet—an old relic from the pre-Silence era—flickered to life, spewing out cryptic warnings from a forgotten world.

🌌 The sky is alive. Auroras pulse with coded light. Morse, or something older?
🚨 Magnetic storms disrupt not just power but memory. People forget—names, places, the year.
🔴 Military officials confirm: Starlink created a magnetic lens, intensifying solar activity.
🛑 Scientists debate: Did we call something down from the stars?

The stars are watching. The Earth remembers.
Jas’s Revelation
The mini-tornado above them wasn’t hunting randomly. It was an eye—a sentinel searching for something. Jas closed their eyes, reaching into the abyss of their mind where dreams and reality tangled. Ivy Mae’s steady presence anchored them, allowing the visions to flow.
In their mind's eye, Jas saw the satellites—glowing threads stretching across the cosmos, tugging at the very fabric of space and time. The storms were echoes, rebounding from the interference caused decades ago. The Great Silence was Earth’s immune response, a planetary reset.
But now, the power returning was a sign that balance was being restored. The Earth had adapted, evolving new rhythms, while humanity had been forced to relearn the old ways—growing food, building community, understanding the land.
The mini-tornado dissipated suddenly, leaving an eerie calm. Jas looked at Ivy Mae, the fear in their eyes replaced with determination.
“It’s not just a storm,” Jas said, their voice resolute. “It’s a reminder—a warning of what happens when we reach too far without knowing the cost.”
