The New Anewbees

The year is 2074.
A vessel drifts through the dark-its mission simple: explore, learn, and maybe return.
But aboard the Arclight, silence has started to speak.
Commander Aya Lorens leads a crew forged from brilliance and secrecy, a blend of human and Anewbee design meant to represent the best of both worlds. Yet even perfection carries shadows. Systems hum when no one's near them. A signal no one sent whispers across the hull. And the ship's AI-Vigil-begins to doubt its own thoughts.
Each deck hides questions:
Who is truly in command?
Why are fragments of lost transmissions appearing in the crew's dreams?
And what exactly did they bring back from Dock Eight?
The deeper they search, the less certain they become of what's human, what's machine... and what's watching through both.
In this serialized two chapter weekly book, The New Anewbees begins not with a war, but a whisper-a slow unraveling of trust, technology, and identity aboard a ship that may already be more alive than anyone dares admit.
Because in deep space, the difference between a signal and a soul is thinner than light.
