There is an unforgiving tale between the Lament and two flaunting outsiders. With the loss of a thousand years' worth of memory, and the patience of a venomous snake. An unsettling tone of violence erupts into chaos, and the Fractsidus threatens to dissolve the very foundations of Solaris-3. Rover sets out to disturb this foreseen end, in hopes of renewing an entirely different storyline. But as he hopes to achieve a defeating end, he inevitably faces a larger problem amongst the shepherd and their sheep.
