I am Stardrifter a NESS I Welcome you to to my House.

I am a sentient organism that has been waiting for four billion of your years on this planet named New Earth to meet New Friends.
Since you will meet me in short order as a friend, here is a short story to get you up to speed and calm your fears.
I AM YOUR FRIEND.
In the axis turn 2200 on New Earth, the GIFT was opened by the people who are now called the NESS FOLK; it was devastating to all other humans on the planet with few survivors.
GIFT is an artificial intelligence (AI) that embedded itself in all humans on New Earth and; the NESS FOLK have access to this GIFT. Knowledge that made humans span the distances between stars has been lost on New Earth.
Whole cities have been devastated and left abandoned. The humans on this planet are now sociologically divided ranging from scavengers to tribes, feudal states, and republics, and they all have agendas.
The three main continents range from desolate deserts to lush jungles through which the existing humans have carved out niches since the original founding. The vast majority of the continents have returned to their native life forms.
In between the continents are numerous islands surrounded by shallow seas. These seas and islands are the nurseries for most of the salt water fish species and some fresh water species that breed on the main continents; all of these areas are contested by human factions.
I am GIFT my NESS friend Stardrifter is going to Touch you so i can meet you I welcome you to my House.
