On Khepri-9, Silas Vale is a Retrieval Asset.
He is deployed when people go off-script, become liabilities, or need to be corrected.
When a missing Systems Auditor surfaces twelve days late, the assignment is routine:
confirm deceased. quiet close.
But the body isn't right.
The face doesn't match.
The data has been rewritten.
And the man Silas was sent to find... is still out there.
Leading him.
Across a hostile world of red storms and failing systems, Silas follows a trail that shouldn't exist-one that points not just to a missing man, but to something buried deeper inside Eden itself.
Something erased.
Something controlled.
Something that may already be inside him.
Because the farther Silas goes, the more reality begins to fracture-
lost time, altered records, and memories that don't belong to him.
