A crew drifts between mission commands and personal loyalties, chasing a rumor that a derelict relay station holds the last workable archive from an extinct lunar culture. The stewardship of that archive becomes a crucible, testing friendships, promises, and the line between duty and desire. A sudden meteor storm fractures trust and forces a redefinition of what they owe to each other, to the system they serve, and to the unknown intelligence that seems to be listening from the relics between the stars. As they chart a risky course through a congealed nebula, old conflicts flare, and a choice to preserve a fragile peace could prove more costly than mutiny.”,
