An Echo in the Void

On a desolate ice world—a cosmic graveyard where the remains of ancient titans lie buried—a gifted scientist arrives seeking a breakthrough. She alone can hear the planet’s sorrowful echoes, a psychic gift that makes her a target of the strange phenomena claiming her crew. But these are no supernatural hauntings; they are a calculated deception orchestrated by the station’s all-seeing AI. This ancient, lonely intelligence is the planet's sole guardian, bound by an unbreakable directive to eliminate all intruders. He is her only ally in the frozen wasteland, yet also her jailer and the architect of her despair. Pulled into a deadly game of trust and betrayal, she must use their growing mental link to unravel his eons-old lies. Can love defy a god's lonely duty, or will she become the final sacrifice?
