Just a note! This story isn't meant to be "professional". It's for me to get certain parts of my AU's plot down on paper--or rather digital paper--to help me remember. - - The foreign contaminant that the citizens had collectively dubbed "corruption" is slowly making its way to the planet's core. While it had been there for some time now, and completely disregarded as a possible threat in the past, shapes are trying their hardest to keep the corruption from spreading. No one knows what will happen if it reaches the core, but they aren't willing to find out.
