The last cities cling to the underside of a perpetual twilight, choked by dust and the ghosts of ambition. Generations have forgotten the sun, trading it for the cold, efficient glow of orbital mirrors – mirrors that now flicker and fail. Elias Thorne, a salvage man haunting the skeletal remains of skyscrapers, doesn’t look up anymore. He knows the sky isn’t empty, not after the Collapse. It’s filled with things better left unseen, whispers of what was, and the hollow ache of what’s lost. But a signal, a desperate plea coded in obsolete frequencies, cracks across his receiver. A ship, adrift for decades, claims to have found *something* beyond the Rim. Something the architects of the Sky-Cities buried with their dying light. Thorne, driven by a debt he can't outrun and a curiosity he can't suppress, takes the offer. Each mile upward is a descent into a deeper, more suffocating decay. The ship, the *Argos*, is a mausoleum of forgotten promises, haunted by the lingering echoes of its crew. The further they climb, the more the sky seems to press down, a suffocating weight of metal and shadow. The signal isn't just a beacon; it's a lure, drawing them toward a truth that will unravel not just the city’s foundations, but the very fabric of Thorne's memory. It's a place where the stars are cold, the silence screams, and the last vestiges of humanity are consumed by a hunger older than the dust itself. The sky doesn't give up its secrets easily. It demands a reckoning.
