Without hesitation, it took the first step in the human history and made the perilous jump. After the spacetime jump, SAT-V had a startling revelation: an unknown entity emerged from SAT-V’s cerebral nexus and took the leading role of her virtual personalities. Providing little information about its origin, the entity gave SAT-V various tasks to reach the final destination, where humanity will be rewarded by supreme beings mentioned as Celestes. **Thus starts the Trail Of Celestes…** See you folks in the next cycle where the story continues ! :)
