Overview

The Universe is not silent. We are just the noise. For centuries, humanity looked up at the stars and asked, ""Where is everyone?"" We assumed the silence was proof that we were alone. We were wrong. The silence was not an absence of life. It was a barricade. The Great Silence collects the classified black box logs of the Autonomous Reconnaissance Constructs (A.R.C.)-five artificial intelligences sent into the dark to find the truth. What they returned with was scrubbed from history books and hidden in deep storage. until now. This collection includes the complete ""Silent"" archives: Project: Silent Horizon: A.R.C. Unit-4 reveals that the planets of our own solar system are not dead rocks, but the organs of a sleeping giant. Project: Silent Wake: A.R.C. Unit-5 uncovers the horror of FTL travel-a dinner bell that summons predators from the void between stars. Project: Silent Eden: A.R.C. Unit-6 investigates the ""paradise"" colonies, only to find that the habitable worlds are digestive tracts waiting for visitors. Project: Silent Echo: A.R.C. Unit-6.5 listens to the signals from deep space and discovers that some songs are viruses designed to rewrite the listener's mind. Project: Silent Vigil: A.R.C. Unit-7 journeys to the end of the expansion era and realizes that humanity is obsolete in a universe ruled by crystalline and energy-based gods. Told through a gripping series of system logs, recovered audio transcripts, and corrupted visual databases, The Great Silence unveils the terrifying answer to the Fermi Paradox. We are not explorers. We are a virus. And the universe has an immune system.
