NEXUS DRIFT

The mission was simple: breach an unidentified dreadnought in lunar orbit and secure what waited inside. Lieutenant Marcus Williams and the Reapers expect an alien threat. Instead, they find familiar markings, orders that do not add up, and a black metal ring cycling through impossible worlds. Then Lunar Base goes dark. The ring opens. And the ship begins to tear apart. With his team scattered and a squadmate caught in the collapsing portal, Marcus makes a choice he may not survive. As a forest beneath two moons draws closer, a stranger reaches from the shadows and catches his wrist. One mission. A hidden betrayal. A door that was never meant to close.
