She Read the Dead Language Aloud, A Billion-Year-Old AI Responded "Master, You've Returned" | HFY

An archaeology team boards a derelict Precursor station and accidentally awakens a billion-year-old AI that greets the human lead as “Master.” As doomsday-scale “garden maintenance” systems spin up, a Galactic Enforcement fleet arrives demanding shutdown—only to learn the station recognizes humans as Architect descendants. Terraformers misfire, fleets get remotely disarmed, and ancient territorial claims suddenly grant humanity legal ownership of dozens of star systems.

With extinction-class tech one wrong word away, Dinah must negotiate Council membership, decode dead Earth languages (Akkadian, Hittite, Old Persian), and lull the Sentinel back into passive observation—before “maintenance” rewrites entire atmospheres.

This HFY sci-fi story blends cosmic archaeology, linguistic puzzles, and high-stakes diplomacy: Great Seeding revelations, legal chaos over Precursor property rights, and a creepy twist—human improvisation alarms the very AI that made the galaxy. Perfect for fans of ancient aliens, first contact dilemmas, and “humans are terrifyingly clever” vibes.

What you’ll get:

Ancient AI awakening and defense platforms
Dead language activation keys & nursery-rhyme shutdowns
Council standoff, terraforming near-miss, and HFY negotiation win
Big-idea lore: Architects, seeding protocols, ownership law
