And in that case, there isn't a place in the galaxy where you're safe. In I Am Entropy, Adam brings chaos to order, an order that never should have existed in the first place. All pretense of civility is gone. And now the damage isn't so much collateral as it is intentional. Worlds will crumble when Entropy knocks on the door.
