    Summary

    The Bounty-II was supposed to be simple: a seven-day Rite mission serving as the final test for the next generation of space protectors. For cadets raised within the Program since childhood, it was more than training—it was tradition, expectation, and the future they had been shaped for their entire lives.

    But when the ship drifts into a sector tied to sealed reports and long-buried incidents, the mission begins to unravel.

    An unknown infection spreads quietly through the systems and crew alike, twisting technology, behavior, and trust into something unrecognizable. As communications fail and paranoia takes hold, Cole, Jay, Kai, Nya, Lloyd, Zane, and Pixal are forced into impossible choices: who can be trusted, what risks are worth taking, and how far loyalty can stretch before it becomes dangerous.

    Every action carries consequences. Every hesitation matters. And aboard a ship built on decades of sacrifice and carefully hidden truths, survival quickly becomes more than staying alive.

    Because some things in space don’t die quietly.

    And some mistakes were never truly left behind.
