The Final Relay at Thresh-Kaur Sent One Warning — The ISV Irreconcilable Has Not Stopped

A single human warship holds its bearing through four thousand, six hundred and five vessels of the Kethara Mechanism — and the Mechanism's signals officer logs every hour of it, from the first failed classification attempt to the moment the contact appears on his own station's grid. The galaxy's most precise civilization built its entire war doctrine on one assumption: that anything can be identified, classified, and engaged. The ISV Irreconcilable was the category error they never filed. Drop a comment with how far through the logs you'd have held before transmitting the warning.
