Description

Bailey’s first voyage beyond Earth quickly turns into a nightmare when a meteor shatters his ship’s hull, sending him spiraling through the black void. With no gravity and his visor blown off, he clings to Captain DiCredico, who spins the remaining vessel to create a makeshift pull that steadies the crew. The abrupt shift from weightless terror to a dizzying artificial “down” forces everyone to relearn how to walk on walls and ceilings while their nerves scream for normalcy.

Once the spin stabilizes, the crew must confront a silent, endless expanse while picking up fragmented transmissions from a stranded ship called the Galileo. The voice crackles with fear, describing unseen “monsters” that can only be felt, not seen, and a looming threat that has already claimed lives. As Bailey takes the radar post, he feels the weight of both his own survival and the desperate hope that someone, somewhere, will answer the call before the unknown darkness closes in.
