![]() He then ran the last scan from the satellite. ![]() After struggling with the recalcitrant satellite for hours, Jaraci regretfully gave the order for the satellite to self-destruct. A technician named Leykab Jaraci was tasked with bringing the satellite under control. In 1106 KDS, one of the Viin Cal satellites malfunctioned and spun off its axis, its scanning field turning to encompass Kharak. The scientists grew more frustrated even as they felt time running out for their world. The system went online in the year 1100 KDS.įor six years the satellites scoured near-Kharak space and found very little: some more debris, but nothing that would lead to a major breakthrough. The kiith constructed an advanced orbital satellite network, Project Viin Cal (named for the ancient Kushan god of hunters), which was to scour Kharak’s orbital space outwards for millions of kilometres for the slightest hint of the technology that brought the Kushan to Kharak. Pieces of the orbital debris had been studied for decades, leading to massive breakthroughs in fabrication techniques and technological development. Kiith S’jet, always the most scientifically vigorous of the kiith, turned its full attention to the task. If they could learn more, they might find a way of escaping the planet before the end. The Daiamid turned their attention to the metallic debris rings circling Kharak, believing that they might be remnants of whatever spacecraft were used to bring their ancient ancestors to the planet. ![]() ![]() But it also now hinted at an escape route: if the Kushan had come to Kharak from another world, then, if that world still existed, they could return the same way. The Xenogenesis Theory proved controversial, especially as it seemed to back up the religious fundamentalist view that the kiithid had been banished to Kharak for committing a sin among the heavens. ![]()
