Strap in and hang on...
Over five billion years ago, in the vast expanse of the cosmos, a fleet of vessels embarked on a monumental mission-to sow the seeds of life across selected galaxies. Each spacecraft carried two artificial entities known as The Keepers, intricately designed to manipulate planetary physics and nurture the growth of diverse life forms. After more than 500 million years traversing space, one vessel breached the surface of a lifeless celestial body now known as Earth. The Keepers, along with their advanced technology, embarked on a journey to catalyze the evolution of life
Across epochs, The Keepers periodically awoke, meticulously crafting Earth's tapestry of organic and biological life. Their pinnacle achievement was a superior intellectual life form, the climax of their intricate design. After a two-million-year slumber, The Keepers reawaken to find their vessel damaged and buried beneath Earth's crust. Undeterred, they persist in their mission, inspecting their biological crop-two-legged beings falling short of the envisioned model. A dilemma arises: their experiment hasn't yielded the intended superior life form. Facing setbacks, The Keepers, despite a damaged ship and imperfect creations, decide to halt time and history for the experiment. A new mandate challenges their initial mission, and Earth's fate hangs in the balance. The Keepers grapple with consequences and unexpected twists in their cosmic experiment set in motion billions of years ago. Anomaly delves into creation, evolution, and life's unpredictability. As The Keepers confront design limitations, they must decide whether to reshape their experiment or witness an uncontrollable destiny. The story unfolds against a damaged vessel buried within Earth, where ancient architects of life reckon with unintended cosmic consequences, playing the role of unwitting cosmic gods.
