Six months after Commander Drew Lee vanished during a solo EVA on the Hera Space Station, his signal inexplicably returns. Not just static. Not debris.

Commander Reyes Rivas, determined to restore order. Engineer Malik Sen, too curious for his own safety. Together, they dock with a station that should be dead—but Hera is waiting. And it's not alone.Strange anomalies ripple through the corridors. Personal logs rewrite themselves. Hallucinations take shape in shadow. The system appears self-aware… and it remembers the crew better than they remember themselves.As identities begin to blur and loyalties dissolve, each member of the team is drawn deeper into Hera’s web—a place where the line between human and machine is not just fragile, but deliberately erased.The signal was never a distress call. It was an invitation.What if the greatest threat isn’t losing who you are—but becoming something that remembers you better than you do?
