In February of 1959, nine hikers from the Ural Polytechnic Institute went out into the wilderness of the Ural Mountains. None of them would come out alive. Despite the best efforts of investigators, nobody could figure out just what happened to them: they concluded that a "compelling, natural force" had driven the hikers to their death.

Needless to say, that didn't even come close to satisfying the public.

The year is now 1964, and another mountaineer from the Ural Polytechnic Institute is turning heads. Nika Orlova is a prodigy in mountaineering, scaling mountains that most can't. Many people are fascinated by her, including investigators and family members who can't let the investigation into the Dyatlov hikers go unsolved.

After more strange things are reported around the mountain where the hikers died and a chance meeting with the close friend of the hikers, Nika has decided that the time has come for her to investigate what happened to the hikers five years previously. She and others affected by the case head out for the Siberian wilderness to find out once and for all what killed the Dyatlov hikers. 

However, from the moment they get out there, it becomes apparent that there are unnatural forces at play in the mountains. And the longer they're out there, Nika can't help but wonder: are they about to face the same fate?

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

25 parts Complete

In 1991, Adelaide Ruby Lehnsherr-Xavier died. What came out of Siberia's HYDRA base in 2008 was something else... someone else. What came out was a monster. A merciless killer, who knew nothing else but bullets, snow, ice, fire and blood. A victim of HYDRA's cruelty. A murderer. Cold. Callous. Unfeeling. A Soldier. An Asset. In 2008, the kind, caring woman that was Adelaide Lehnsherr was dead to the world. She was dead to Charles Xavier, to the history books, to the young, new students of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. But in the shadows, she was very much alive. From the cryofreeze chambers and experiment rooms of Siberia, Russia's HYDRA base, a survivor was born. The Winter Phoenix was born.
