The End of the Contingency

The Contingency has failed. With the destruction of the last Machine World, the galaxy no longer faces the threat of systematic mass extinction.

As with the other Machine Worlds, the main nexus detonated itself in a massive anti-matter explosion when it became apparent that it could no longer resist its attackers. Traveling outwards at lightspeed, the intense light from the energy discharge will be visible to future generations for millennia to come as a bright, short-lived star. Across the galaxy, sapient beings are united in their celebration of this great victory. For the moment, at least, the future looks bright.
