2096: The Shrink Protocol: Silas Vorn

Before the collapse, Silas Vorn was a renowned archaeologist, known for unearthing forgotten relics of pre-spacefaring Earth. When overpopulation and failed Martian colonization forced humanity into the Shrink Protocol, he volunteered, believing smaller bodies meant larger worlds to explore.

Now, barely the height of a coffee mug, Silas roams the forests of grass blades and mountain ranges of fallen leaves, guided by his floating Memory Orb—an AI assistant that archives every discovery.

His goal is to locate the Neoscale Core, the legendary device rumored to reverse or control the shrinking process.

Collectors call him “The Miniature Pathfinder,” a rare asset in the Shrink Protocol saga—his lore intertwined with every major expedition in the micro-world.
