Strap in and hang on!!!

Over five billion years ago, in the vast expanse of the cosmos, a fleet of vessels embarked on a monumental mission—to sow the seeds of life across selected galaxies. Each spacecraft carried two artificial entities known as The Keepers, intricately designed to manipulate planetary physics and nurture the growth of diverse life forms. After more than 500 million years traversing space, one vessel breached the surface of a lifeless celestial body now known as Earth. The Keepers, along with their advanced technology, embarked on a journey to catalyze the evolution of life.

Through epochs and eons, The Keepers periodically awoke from their dormant states to fulfill their mission. Across billions of years, they meticulously crafted Earth's vibrant tapestry of organic and biological life. The pinnacle of their experiment was the creation of a superior intellectual life form, marking the climax of their intricate design.

Now, after a two-million-year slumber, The Keepers reawaken to find their vessel damaged and buried deep beneath the Earth's crust. Unfazed by the challenges, they persist in their mission, compelled by their unwavering directive. As they inspect their biological crop, they encounter two-legged beings that fall significantly short of their envisioned model. The Keepers face a dilemma: their experiment has not yielded the superior life form they intended.

Undeterred by setbacks, The Keepers, in the face of their damaged ship and imperfect creations, decide that time and history must now cease for this experiment. A new mandate emerges—one that challenges the very fabric of their initial mission. The fate of Earth hangs in the balance as The Keepers grapple with the consequences of their creation and the unexpected twists in the cosmic experiment they set into motion billions of years ago.

Anomaly explores the profound implications of creation, evolution, and the unpredictable nature of life. As The Keepers confront the limitations of their design, they must decide whether to reshape their experiment or witness the culmination of a destiny beyond their control. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a damaged vessel, buried deep within the Earth, where the ancient architects of life must reckon with the unintended consequences of playing the role of cosmic gods.
