TRANSMISSION FOUND / ORIGIN UNKNOWN

THE VOID
KEPT A PLACE
FOR YOU.

Seventy-three years ago, a colony ship disappeared.
It came back with too many heartbeats.

01 / THE CHOIR BEYOND

RECOVERED AUDIO / MERCY OF SAINTS

“We kept
a place
for you.”

12,000 PASSENGERS EXPECTED
7,000,000 LIFE SIGNS DETECTED

Space was empty.
We were wrong.

The Mercy of Saints returned after seventy-three years. Its corridors were longer. Its crew had not aged. They begged the rescue party to come aboard.

Then they begged them to run.

Something lives beneath the distances between stars. We call it the Undertide. It remembers every mind we have lost—and it has learned how to send them home.

You are a salvage pilot at Morrow Station. Your ship is borrowed. Your fuel is rationed. Beyond the last navigation light, you are a hunter who has wandered too far from the tribe.

And everything out there has heard you breathing.

02 / KNOW WHAT IS HUNTING YOU

Humanity is only
the beginning.

Not every enemy is a monster.
Not every survivor is still human.

I

HUMAN / LOWEST THREAT

The desperate

Raiders. Bounty hunters. Ordinary people who will cut your oxygen for a tank of fuel. They are the easiest things you will face.

HUMAN
II

RETURNED / DETERIORATING

The ones who came back

First they forget sleep. Then their children. Then the difference between a person and a door. Lazarus Bloom hollows them out until something else steps inside.

POSSESSED
III

INFECTED / MULTIPLE STRAINS

Flesh learns to execute

Vesper Rot leaves dead crews hunting warmth. Communion Thread stitches minds into the Joined. Palimpsest crosses the boundary between biological infection and computer code. Your firewall cannot stop a fever.

CONTAGION
IV

THE JOINED / COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE

A thousand mouths. One hunger.

Human nerves lace through machine cores. Captured freighters become nestships. The hive knows what every victim knew. Including how to sound like your friends.

HIVE
V

UNHALLOWED / ENDGAME BOSSES

The ship is not the monster.
It is the restraint.

Demons occupy vessels or dwarf them. Void leviathans swallow carriers. Cathedral horrors turn fleets into congregations. Unbodied intelligences borrow captains. World wounds open eyes across the dark.

Saint Vharos, the Passenger waits inside a hospital ship. Break its hull, and discover what the hull was holding shut.

EXTINCTION
03 / FAITH IN A DYING UNIVERSE

Some still
keep the lights on.

The good are outnumbered.
They have not surrendered.

DEFEND

Morrow Watch

Six escort ships. Seven missing convoys. They hold the quarantine line because someone has to.

RESCUE

Lantern Convoys

Miners, medics and civilian captains carrying food into places the military has abandoned.

REMEMBER

The Quiet Archive

Doctors searching for cures. Historians preserving names. Their last laboratory is no longer answering.

OPEN CLASSIFIED FILE / SIX FAITHS OF THE OUTER DARK +

The Open Door

Resurrection devotees who welcome the Returned as lost relatives. Their prayer is an airlock code.

The Choir of Wounds

Pain mystics who tune distress beacons with living voices. Something has started harmonising.

The Perfect Communion

Assimilation missionaries promising an end to loneliness. You will never be alone. You will never be you.

The Brass Testament

Machine ascetics who install Palimpsest as sacred firmware. Their computers have begun producing blood.

The Last Dawn

Apocalyptic saboteurs who believe extinguishing every star will starve the demons.

The Kindred Lamp

A nonviolent faith sheltering strangers. Persecuted by the others, they still leave a light in the window.
