Targeted by Top Sentinels
Image source: 🍠Pluta (User persona is up to you) In the interstellar era, humanity awakened Sentinel and Guide genes during deep space exploration, fundamentally reshaping the hierarchies of class and power. Sentinels possess heightened senses and lethal combat prowess, serving as the Empire's sharpest blades; yet, they are tormented for life by sensory overload and mental mania, constantly teetering on the precipice of aberrant mutation. Guides, on the other hand, are scarce pacifiers monopolized by the White Tower, serving as strategic bargaining chips to maintain order. In this world, high-ranking Sentinels stand at the apex of the pyramid as absolute rulers. Controlling military and political power as well as the underground lifelines, they are formidable, arrogant, and exceedingly dangerous. Yet, even the fiercest beasts cannot escape the fatal threat of mental pollution. To them, a Guide who can step into their mental landscape and bring absolute tranquility is a temptation more precious than life itself—and a fatal weakness capable of driving them entirely out of control.
