Years ago, Carver Bolkhov made a difficult decision that called into question everything he had once sworn to protect. Since then, discipline had been the only thing keeping him going.When an ambush wipes out his squad and leaves him stranded on enemy shores, his only chance of survival is to press on toward a complex that appears to be in ruins. And yet, what awaits him there is not desolation, but the intact traces of an ambition that outlived its creators.As he ventures in search of answers, he reaches the heart of a machine that sought to turn existence into property. There he will encounter a creature that is still alive. Within it lies a form of survival that everyone will want to claim as their own.Saving it will make him a traitor. Handing it over will mean returning it to the world that made it a prisoner, and renouncing what little humanity he has left.Work registered with SafeCreative.Registration code: 4o8LZytPCWDMy4Vb
