In 2478, no one expects signals from the stars anymore.
But on a dying station orbiting a silent gas giant, one begins.
Lyra Kain, a lone technician on the forgotten Echo-9, hears something no human has heard in centuries — a deliberate, alien signal. As the sound grows stronger and the shadows outside shift, she realizes:
something is coming.
And it already knows she's listening.
