The chase begins with a stubborn beacon cutting through a shroud of cosmic interference, pulling a battered salvage cutter toward a rogue signal that promises both salvage and peril. The crew tightens into its roles as alarms scream and the ship’s aging reactors groan under stress. A calculated risk—tethering a desperate gambit to a hasty plan—tests loyalties, reveals rival interests in the void, and forces a leader to weigh profit against the lives of the people who depend on him. In a hollowed-out asteroid field, the rogue signal finally breaks into a face-off with a competitor captain and a choice must be made that could redefine what it means to belong to a crew when every light on the ship is a heartbeat beating toward morning.
