Ever since humanity discovered faster-than-light travel back in 2287, Sector 7 has been a strange place. Nicknamed "The Abyss", anything that went in, manned or unmanned, disappeared. Until now. In 2318 I, Lt. John Benning, became the first person ever to come back alive. My story about the horrific creatures that dwelled inside convinced the QUESO ( Quintessential United Earth Space Operations) to take action and attack. We lost. Badly. Now humanity is fighting a losing war with the unknown, a war the could very well spell the end for human kind.
