A routine Salvage job becomes a fight for survival - and a battle for Identity. When Jack is left for dead on a 4000 year old section of floating space debris, he thinks that is it - his short life comes to an end before he could even live a life as his - her - true self. the Root doesn't take prisoners, it just consumes and spreads. But a fortuitous meeting with an ancient, trapped, and highly illegal AI gives Jack a new chance at life, at escape, and at becoming the person they were always meant to be. Join Jack/Jax and Faust as they fight the Root, and fight to get home, to the River, and the Skully Gull. This story contains Adult themes, including references to sexual acts (no graphic scenes, or fades to black before things leave a PG-13 rating) and sometimes extreme violence. I use an AI assistant for editing and proofreading help, but all scenes are human written and mostly human edited. Release schedule will be 3 times a week, mon-wed-fri
