Set in the year 2548, centuries after Earth lost all contact with the colony vessel Ozymandias during its voyage toward the star system a², the ship suddenly reappears near one of Jupiter's moons. The probe ship Seyfert dispatches a S.O.A.R. (Special Operations And Reconnaissance) team aboard a small shuttle to investigate. Without warning, the Ozymandias opens fire — destroying the Seyfert and crippling the shuttle. Among the survivors are Patrick Tyler, McCoy, Sonya Hart, and commander Jacob Ranshaw, who manage to board the massive, silent supership. What waits inside will test every instinct for survival they have.
