When freemen shall stand
A wartime laboratory experiment releases a strange gas that paralyses the researchers and precipitates a sudden, disorienting shift in their surroundings. An enemy agent's interference precipitates the accident, leaving the survivors incapacitated and transported into a transformed, degraded world where carved faces on a mountain are venerated. Survivors grapple with cultlike rituals and a centralized mythology that repurposes relics of the past as talismans of resistance against extraterrestrial conquerors. The narrative interweaves speculative technology, wartime fear, and reflections on faith, community, and the ways symbols sustain hope under occupation.
