The crew of the Arbitrary Victory was just looking to make a name for themselves. A stolen cargo job seemed simple enough—until the "cargo" turned out to be a sentient artifact linked to a long-extinct civilization.

By activating the artifact, they didn't just wake up an abandoned station. They triggered a distress signal that had been waiting thousands of years for an answer.

Now, something is coming. Something ancient. Something that erased an entire species from existence.

Sara, Marcus, and Dave have two options: run, or figure out what the Vaeryn left behind before their past becomes humanity's future. But surviving means outwitting not just an enemy that warps reality itself—but also the smugglers, cults, and bounty hunters who would kill to claim the artifact for themselves.

Because some things were meant to stay lost.

And now? They've been found.
