| On Horizon, research progressed almost too quickly. Shiniku was forced to begin mass abductions under the guise of conflict and espionage. Entire shipments of resources bound for Earth were stolen in the name of their righteous goal. All around them, suspicions grew, but were never directed towards Shiniku itself. Instead they fuelled the animosity of a people already bristling at the greed of Earth and its crippling levies. The heads of Shiniku did not care. If they were successful, none of this turmoil would matter in the shadow of a new humanity spreading its wings. They never fully understood the desperation they had catalyzed until they had already doomed their own most fervent desires. The recently amalgamated Earth government was forced to exert its authority over Horizon, but its monstrous fleet did little to win the people's cooperation. In a bold political move, significant resources were diverted into the rescue of a single man. He had become stranded on a remote, barren world where a certain cosmological testing station had recently gone silent. Having abandoned the facility to its fate, Shiniku personnel assumed their experimental samples would die, never realizing the nightmare they had released by doing so. With the rescued man's return came Shiniku's own demon: the Feral Plague. | On Horizon, research progressed almost too quickly.
