Amidst the decay and neglect that define Entropy Estates, the Eco Guardians stand as a counterpoint to the pervasive entropy. These self-declared restorers of a past order and harmony work quietly but persistently to revive the vision of Adrian Vellor in their part of the world. With hands as adept at planting seeds as they are at repairing solar panels, they are weaving a tapestry of change that infuses the gray hues of the Estates with green.
The Eco Guardians are the gardeners of concrete, who see a potential bed in every abandoned corner. They are the engineers of life who recognize potential, not scrap, in the silent androids and decommissioned machines. Their community gardens and improvised sewage treatment plants are testimony to their efforts to preserve what was once taken for granted: clean water, fresh air, food from the earth.
The other residents of Entropy Estates see the Eco Guardians as a group of dreamers and naive idealists. They are the ones who speak of hope in a world that is often cold and calculating. Yet despite this apparent naivety, or perhaps because of it, they are largely left alone. They pose no threat to the fragile status quo; their actions are not aimed at power or control, but at restoring a piece of humanity.
Yet their existence is in subtle contrast to The Codex. While The Codex see mystical potential in ancient technologies and lost spirits, the Eco Guardians see technology as a tool to make real, tangible improvements in their lives. Their belief in the principles and vision of Vellor is concrete: it manifests itself in every tree they plant and every solar cell they make work.
The Eco Guardians may be idealists in the eyes of some, but their actions reflect determination and a deep connection to the earth. They are a living reminder that even in a world defined by technological progress and social division, the desire for renewal and respect for nature can survive.
