[1717] Ouroboros

Sci-Fi

I am struggling a lot with the intro to this completed manuscript. In its entirety, it's about 100k words, and I am confident in a lot of it, but without a solid intro, no one's going to read past page 1. I have been back and forth between using this prologue or not, and it's hard to tell if it's necessary, or just a spoiler... Or out of place... I included a page of the second chapter to give an idea of how it is written (perspectives of 3+ different characters).

Anyways, I'd appreciate any feedback on this. Please dismantle.

UPDATE: revamped work is here:
