Summary
Yarrow is a simple sanitation worker aboard a simple research vessel that's collaborating with the insect-like aliens known as the Host. He wants to do his job, keep his head down, and avoid talking to other humans as much as possible. The scientists aboard the ship are working to create a self-sufficient star-ship. The Hosts are reclusive, but Yarrow finds himself talking to them more and more as the project gets underway. Despite wanting to keep himself from making any meaningful connections on the job, he finds one of the Hosts to be both fascinating and entirely too familiar for an alien race that looks so different from his own.
There's more to this voyage than either of them expects. Someone here knows Yarrow, or who he used to be, threatening to undo all of the work he's put into starting over.

During the Profit Taker fight, a Tenno loses connection to his Liset and his Warframe gets crushed like a soda can, causing the Operator to be stranded in Fortuna while he waits for a ride back to his Orbiter.
Mild Angst, lots of depersonalization, a bit of meta, and a peek into Operator Ares' view on life in the Origin System.

Briar Ortega is a mercenary with a whole lot of enemies. They're mouthy, rebellious, and wanted by nearly every major power in the Terminus. Recently, they've run to the Shadow Broker for protection in exchange for their expertise with tech.
Ilya Lakmi is a drell biotic, locked away for a murder she committed during the Reaper War under the influence of Indoctrination.

Something has stirred that had been hidden in darkness for aeons, just as the major races of the galaxy are moving towards peace, it threatens to send the galaxy into war. Artifacts of unknown origin are causing symptoms that are disturbingly similar to Indoctrination; Some monstrous thing is sighted leaving 2181 Despoina's atmosphere; more and more space stations and satellites are going dark with no real explanation why.
These two find themselves drawn ever deeper into the machinations of the most ancient being in the Universe, and must figure out how to stop it.
