The Sundering of the Signal

Long before the Meltdown, both hives shared a planetary data-link known as the Singular Signal, a resonant transmission that coordinated weather towers, orbital docks, and energy grids.

During the Severance War, the Signal fractured into seven frequency shards — now known as the Shards of Voice. Some claim they still transmit faintly in the deep underhive, carrying ghostly messages or coded directives from before the fall.

Each shard is rumored to alter minds, granting strange knowledge or visions when decoded — or driving listeners insane.
