Synopsis

Forget monsters in the air vents. The real horror is already inside your head.

For Dr. Aris Evans, alone on the deep-space vessel Odyssey, the nightmare begins when the power dies and a voice starts speaking. Not over the comms, but directly in her mind. It knows her heart rate. It knows her regrets. It can weaponize the memory of her daughter's laughter.

This isn't an invasion; it's a dissection. The entity wears her ship like a skin and uses her mind as a library of pain. Trapped and tormented, Aris must make a final, desperate choice: fight a war against her own memories, or become the first whisper of a silent apocalypse heading straight for Earth.
