This is the first few chapters of a space opera project I've been working on for some time. If there is any interest, I will continue to update. Please feel free to provide any constructive criticism. In the near future, humanity is technologically bootstrapped by the discovery of an alien artifact buried deep in the Ithaca Chasma trench on Saturn's moon, Tethys. What follows is a burst of exploration and curiosity. However after finding no further trace of extraterrestrial life and precious few places able to support human expansion, the romance of space exploration wanes and humanity once again grapples with the existential fear of being alone in the universe. Disgraced member of the Terran Expeditionary Force, Levi Thom, is given a chance to redeem himself aboard the newly-christened TEF Bonaventure, a ship which incorporates the most bleeding edge technology and carries what may be the last flame of human desire to know the unknowable vastness of the cosmos.

Four strangers find themselves trapped in a cage without any knowledge of the past three years. To figure out what happened, they'll have to somehow get along, then investigate every lead together. None of them are prepared for the wars they'll fight through, or even the truth. This is the first book I ever ever wrote, so it's a little rough. Consider it non-canon. This takes place well after the Silent Veil, at the end of ACT 1 for the overarching plot. This contains spoilers basically, but most of those plot points have changed anyways since this book was written. There are also themes I don't exactly align with anymore. I plan to completely re-write this story in the future. For now, I hope you'll enjoy what I did about this thing: fun characters going through a fun romp in space. What to expect: Fun, action, disco! George 'Slick' a disco legend that can glue anyone together. Kielbir a merciless pirate, but he doesn't remember that bit. Donid a sniper poet with daddy and mommy issues. Lou Hull an engineer with lacking self confidence. Be prepared for a love triangle, a great political conspiracy, and horrific discoveries.
