As per request/suggestion. I went with the first one because it was slightly more fleshed out and overall more interesting. I think Meyrin's bit is what counts as 'semi-con', is that about right?

I never watched Gundam (or at least not this one), so I have no idea how accurate I portrayed the characters. But I am pretty sure Devourer Swarms are not part of the Gundam canon. Instead they are a loose reference to the Oxygen Destroyer from the original Gojira (a.k.a. Godzilla) movie, born from the need to have a reason how there can be ruins left, but no food, nor other humans that could've scavenged the food, and I think it's a logical (for values of 'logic' approaching 'nanomachines') explanation.

The title is a reference to a song by Within Temptation, one of my favorite bands, that also evokes the imagery of a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Same thing otherwise: Feel free to leave your opinions, feedback, (sufficiently detailed) suggestions, characters for this one thing I'm trying (see >>5930), etc, pp And thank you for reading.
