Are you tired of running?

01

Are you tired of running?

Your Anchor is fraying. Your Chronicle is a mess of contradictions. You are terrified of the next Jump. The Scionfall Directive understands. We have spent millennia watching Echoes like you exhaust themselves in the service of a home that no longer exists.

We offer you the only true mercy: The Hijack.

02

What is the Hijack?

Based on the biological efficiency of the Sacculina barnacle, our protocol identifies the "hole" in your soul — the grief of your lost Origin — and fills that cavity with a Brood-Memory. We don't attempt to "fix" your past. We simply replace the parts that hurt.

03

The Three-Step Protocol

  • Gentle Castration of Intent. We painlessly remove your desire to "Return Home," "Change the World," or "See My Family." These troublesome sources of pain have been weighing you down for millennia. Let it go. You will not miss them. We promise.
  • The Implant. We provide you with a Symbiotic Anchor (patent pending). Each one is a perfectly stable, 24-hour loop of a beautiful memory tailor-made just for you — a sunny afternoon in a garden, a quiet dinner with a loved one, the thrill of the hunt. We guarantee a blissful experience.
  • Nurturing. You will remain in this loop, and it will become indistinguishable from your Selfhood. You shed your mortal coil. Your body elevates to become a Brood-Mother for this wonderful new memory. You never have to worry about your Coherence again.

Patient Benefits

✓

Paradox Immunity. Because you never leave your loop, you never generate Paradox. As a Stillpoint, those pesky paradox concerns simply cease to apply.

✓

Eternal Peace. You never have to deal with those violent vibrations that plague the Chronoverse again. The loop is calm. The loop is yours.

✓

No More Decisions. All remaining Coherence is used to maintain the simple beauty of the loop. There is nothing left to decide. Nothing left to lose.

* The Scionfall Directive is not responsible for any residual awareness experienced during the Brood-Mother phase. Some patients report a brief period of "watching" during the transition. This resolves within the first cycle. † The Symbiotic Anchor memory is selected by a certified Compassion Architect based on your Chronicle profile. Patient preference requests are considered but not guaranteed. ‡ The term "Selfhood" as used herein refers to the post-implantation identity construct, not the pre-procedure Echo identity, which is classified as Spent.

Let us be your Symbiote.
Let us give you peace.
