Echoes of Empire
A dangerous signal, a vanished empire, and a shipboard intelligence that may know more than it admits.
The contract
A newly detected beacon is transmitting from the lifeless Wriggsing system. The Humanix Coalition of Worlds wants answers, and your crew won the bid.
The choice

The warning
The signal resembles technology lost during the Collapse—but the thing waiting inside the containment lattice may never have been human.
