Broken Horizons

Anja Ferguson wakes drowning inside a broken recovery cradle on Kestrel Station.She has no memory, no name she trusts, and a neural interface that keeps feeding her damaged survival prompts. The station is losing atmosphere. The doors are locking wrong. Drones are hunting through the corridors. Somewhere in the static, a degraded tactical system called N.A.T.E. is trying to keep her alive.At first, Nate is only a damaged HUD, a few warnings, bad maps, and fragments of procedure Anja should not know. Then her hands start solving problems before her mind can catch up: breach charges, pressure seals, weapons discipline, emergency medicine, containment rules. Every answer raises a worse question. Was she a patient here, a responder, or the reason Kestrel is dying?The survivors she finds do not have the luxury of waiting for her to remember. Life support is failing, Warden control is corrupt, and the evacuation pods will not launch while the station classifies Anja as both rescue asset and breach threat. To get anyone out, she has to trust the damaged AI in her head, the frightened people around her, and the instincts that may belong to someone she does not want to be.Broken Horizons is claustrophobic survival science fiction with neural HUD elements, a slow-burn AI companion, station-disaster problem solving, and an identity mystery at the center of the wreckage.
