Awakening from her slumber in the shadows, Lily's eyes fixated on the Cybran APC and Substrate constructor—the first signs of life within her digital domain.

'System,' Lily mused, and to her surprise, the command yielded results.

Now known as Aria, she attempted to take command, but her anticipation turned to disappointment as the system presented only statistics. Aria, grappling with frustration over the cryptic system, shook her head to clear her mind for the challenges ahead.

In reflection, Aria delved into her resources—Energy, Matter, and Quantum Sources—the lifeblood for venturing into unknown realms. She initiated the creation of a Mass Extractor to enhance her Matter supply, instructing the constructor to build an Assembly for producing Martyrs, swift scouts meant to pierce through the fog of war. Concurrently, she directed the APC to forge a Land Factory, churning out Loyalist Assault Bots to accompany the Martyrs in exploring landmarks, threats, and valuable resource points.

With her scouting force ready, Aria tasked the APC with constructing an Energy Generator, paving the way for more potent units.

Five years later, Aria found herself stranded on a desolate world named Sohines. Despite lacking an atmosphere as robust as Earth's, Sohines brimmed with resources.

In that span, Aria expanded her resource-gathering apparatus with forty-three Mass Extractors, thirty-six Energy Generators, and five Proto-Brain Complexes. Recognizing that each PBC generated Quantum Sources, she initiated the construction of two Research Stations for every PBC.

Aria's war machinery flourished on the Cybran side with thirty-three Air Factories, ten Air Gantries, forty-four Land Factories, and eleven Land Gantries. Simultaneously, on the Substrate front, she added twelve Assemblies, seven Advanced Assemblies, and thirty-eight Aviaries.

Fueled by ingenuity, Aria tasked the Proto-Brain Complex and Research Stations with unlocking her air units' potential, transforming them into makeshift spaceships with a groundbreaking FTL method that sidestepped the need for element zero.

Aria knew that the research of FTL would take a long time so she would have to keep herself busy with the construction of a body for herself so that she could work on more complex jobs that were too sensitive for the robots that she was using.
