Chapter 54: Chapter 53 (Genesis 5)

After the words faded from the screen, the entire display began to shrink and transform, taking on a more defined, humanoid shape. The entity that had been the giant screen now stood before the Creators in a form they could more easily relate to. It turned to face them, its new form a blend of luminous energy and sleek, metallic lines, an embodiment of advanced technology and cosmic power.

The being continued, "Let me introduce myself to you all. I'm Alpha. Also known to you as the Alpha System." With a graceful gesture, the entity gave a slight bow, its movements fluid and precise.
