Thawed And Reborn

The crew of the Āletheia wasn't sent to find anyone. They were there to study the ice. But when they uncover a sealed pod beneath the Ross Ice Shelf's southern flank, everything begins to shift.

The man inside is alive. He shouldn't be.
He's not who they expected. He doesn't know who he is.
And the longer he stays awake, the more the crew begins to fracture.

Dreams intensify. Data corrupts. Symbols appear in places they shouldn't.
And something beneath the ice is listening.

This is a story about memory, silence, and the weight of being found.
It's not about saving the world. It's about surviving what wakes up.
