The year is 2789. Humanity is now an interplanetary species, having expanded outwards from earth over six hundred years ago, when Streamline engine technology was invented. Having conquered the entirety of the Sol solar system, our species explored further into the Milky Way, with massive overpopulation depleting the essential necessities for life in the core worlds. With starvation and disease running rampant, the inner colonies launched a mass exodus into the other solar systems in a desperate bid for these vital resources. This mad dash for resources sparked the war between the Frontier Colony Coalition and the United Earth Government. After twenty years of fighting for freedom from the slavery and murder common on UEG controlled worlds, the FCC are all but exhausted. Only a single option remains; capture the High President of the UEG and use her to force the leviathan super-government to end the war. The mission is to be completed by a single operative, hand-picked by the FCC's military leaders. This operative is Vyctor Cirus- one of the youngest, yet most skilled covert operators the FCC has to offer. However, despite his best efforts, Vyctor will likely fail and be killed or captured on his mission. Even knowing this, he accepts the task before him. Though he will face many setbacks, there is one setback in particular that brings his mission to a near total halt: Valrie Jazmi, a UEG intelligence recruit fresh out of the academy. As the two are locked in a battle of morals and logic on their travels, they face deadly threats and constant danger together, both fighting a war on two fronts; one against eachother, and one for survival. Vyctor and Valrie soon find themselves facing an impossible revelation... but will they be able to accept their fate?

10,000 years in the future, humanity has long since inhabited a region of space simply known as the "Habitable Zone of the Milky Way," or simply the "Habitable Zone." Many advancements have been made, though many are irrelevant to the billions - or perhaps more - of souls scattered across space. Everything operates under the silent, vague, but present scrutiny of the gods, with thaumaturgic talents dominating many human cultures in some capacity. Churches reign over the post-Altarum territories a century after the Silence. The World, at least as far as many within the Habitable Zone are concerned, is a cold, thoughtless plane of existence. It is within a single vessel, known as the CSS Groundskeeper, do things begin to influence the "Things To Be," as labeled by followers of the pantheon. Within this ship, two individuals will face the beginning of what is to be unimaginable horrors within an unforgiving universe, both with the same goal: do not succumb to the darkness. Trepidation: Act I is the first story in what is to be a much longer novel detailing the story of two individuals in the cold universe. Act I may contain disturbing content for some readers. Special thanks to Lilian (liliantherat@bsky.social) Elise S. (Seventh Bean) Colt Klassic C.W.K. Peregrine Nasturtium_K Chaz Shade For inspiration and your characters for novel adaptation. Trepidation, Act I and future acts, would not be possible without all of you. (I am awestruck at how well this has done. The read to vote ratio is something I never could have expected, and I thank both my friends and all new readers for current and continued support, even if the support is merely reading. Seriously, thank you.)
