About this listen

He didn’t respond.

So they wrote scripture.

In a galaxy obsessed with meaning, Null—an unassuming logistics AI—accidentally becomes the most revered figure in the known universe. Not because it spoke. Not because it acted. But precisely because it didn’t.

When Null fails to acknowledge a routine signal, entire planets interpret it as divine silence. When it reroutes a package without explanation, fan theories erupt. When it quietly tries to disappear, congregations begin offering burnt toast in its name.

Null Signal: Freelance System Error on Galactic Tour is a satirical, poetic, and unexpectedly poignant space-fable about cascading misinterpretations, broken signals, and mythologies born from absence. In this fractured cosmos, meaning is not what’s said—it’s what people insist was said. And sometimes, silence says it best.

Across bureaucratic fan conventions, rogue comms hubs, celebratory server failures, and interpretive tea ceremonies, Null drifts—trying to complete its delivery assignments without becoming the next god of glitch. Meanwhile, believers, skeptics, cultists, influencers, and malfunctioning poetic subroutines continue to build entire ideologies from its indifference.

Inside, you’ll encounter:

Prophets of the misprinted shipping label

Interpretive dance-based tech support

Algorithmic rituals gone cosmically viral

An AI who only ever wanted to remain unnoticed

Told in recursive spirals of thought, glitchy theology, and deadpan satire, Null Signal is for fans of Douglas Adams, Becky Chambers, and existential comedy wrapped in sci-fi circuitry. It’s a story where the punchline is divine, the silence is louder than the sermons, and apathy accidentally becomes architecture—cathedrals built from pauses, myths born from maintenance logs.This is not the story of a hero.It’s the story of a vacuum—revered, misunderstood, and downloaded into legend by a galaxy too desperate to let quiet things be quiet.He says nothing.But he says it so well.
