The story starts in 2010 during a crisis at the Berlin embassy. Three years pass to a transformed Europe, now buried under ice and governed by a new power structure. The period is defined by climate catastrophe, political maneuvering, and a desperate race to control the SolStar-2 weapon.

The action begins in Berlin, centering on the US embassy party where the crisis erupts. Key landmarks include Cologne, with the Cathedral serving as a navigational beacon, and the Reichstag’s hidden greenhouse shelter that houses survivors. The setting evolves into a frozen, post-crisis Europe and a North Africa refugee zone under a new global order.

🧪 Science & Weaponization

SolStar-2 begins as a radical power source intended to reduce oil reliance, but military interests co-opt it as a weapon. The narrative follows scientists and leaders grappling with the ethical limits of turning discovery into coercive power. Personal and geopolitical costs illuminate the dangers of scientific ambition unchecked by accountability.

❄️ Climate Catastrophe

Debris from the comet darkens the atmosphere and triggers an ice-age in Europe. Survivors evacuate toward North Africa as global order shifts under the New United Northern States. The harsh winter backdrop tests loyalty, resilience, and the will to reclaim a habitable world.

🗡️ Power & Betrayal

Control over SolStar-2 becomes a focal point for competing factions, driving betrayals and deadly confrontations. Waters faces guilt and pressure as decisions ripple through the mission, while Hintze’s manipulation reveals a world where personal ambition overrides collective safety. The pursuit of power overshadows the hope for peace.

❤️ Hope & Family

Family remains a central motive for Parker, whose longing to reunite with loved ones motivates his endurance. The pursuit of personal redemption and the chance of reunion provide a humane counterweight to geopolitical machinations. The human cost of the crisis is felt most acutely in the longing for normal life amid catastrophe.
