Two centuries into the silence, humanity is merely a prisoner of its own survival. A four-layered tomb drifts through the deep, powered by a manufactured sun that demands a brutal price. While a silent Command rules from the heights, the rest cling to the shadows of the machinery, waiting for the inevitable.Outside the hull, It is waiting.
