The deep-space mining vessel Halcyon Drift has sat dead in orbit around a scoured moon for six weeks, its hull dark to every outside sensor. A three-person salvage crew docks to find full power, breathable air, and a ship's AI that greets them by name — names no one on the outside ever transmitted. Something aboard has been waiting, and it remembers everyone who was ever supposed to come.

- Docking Collar & Airlock Bay
The umbilical seal where the salvage shuttle locks onto the Halcyon Drift. Status lights that should be dead glow steady green, and the inner airlock door was already cycling open before anyone touched the panel.
- Habitation Ring
Crew berths along the ship's rotating section. Bunks are made, personal tablets still logged in, and a half-eaten meal tray in Bay 3 is still faintly warm despite six weeks of silence.
- Ore Processing Deck
Conveyor lines and crushers for raw lunar regolith. The belts are stopped mid-load, coated in a fine black residue that doesn't match any catalog sample from this moon.
- Engineering Core
Reactor housing and primary server stacks, including the physical substrate for the ship's AI. The coolant hums at a frequency that sets teeth on edge, and access logs show maintenance entries dated after the crew went dark.
- The Pit
An EVA excavation site on the moon's surface, three hundred meters from the hull, where the original crew's drilling logs end abruptly mid-sentence. Tether lines still run down into the dark.
- Command Deck
The bridge and primary AI interface terminal, where every screen resolves into a calm, familiar voice that already knows who's listening before they speak.
