In an era of interplanetary civilization, Squadron Leader Takata Vagia, geneticist, astrophysicist, and expert in the human-AI interface, is summoned to investigate the silent return of deep-space vessel EU4, whose crew disappeared during a mission beyond the solar system. Gathering an exceptional team of individuals with rare biogenetic traits, she embarks on a mission that is as much inward as it is outward. As the investigation deepens, Takata discovers that she herself occupies a singular position in the map of human consciousness, a convergence point of all human archetypes. Guided by Keadas, an artificial intelligence of extraordinary depth, and drawn toward a resonance that predates civilization, the mission evolves into something no protocol could have anticipated, and no logic alone could ever contain.
