An envoy works to hold a fragile political system together as an unknown external presence begins to press in, altering communication, perception, and trust. Messages fracture, authority strains, and every faction acts to secure its position before contact becomes unavoidable. Every decision weighs heavily, and a single exchange can stabilize the moment or accelerate it toward collapse. The situation unfolds through a series of shifting signals, contested information, and rising fear, as the conditions for first contact take shape before anyone can fully define what's approaching.
