Large systems rarely fail with explosions.
They fail quietly — through deferred maintenance, softened reports, and decisions that seem reasonable at the time.
The Border Systems lives in that space.

I’m Alex Mercer.
I’m writing a science‑fiction space opera about border systems — places where authority weakens with distance, rules blur, and small decisions can destabilise entire regions of space.
The current working title is The Border Systems. 😊🚀
