Chapter 1: The Signal
The silence wasn't empty; it was heavy. Like the air before a storm, or the split second before a glass shatters. Kael stared at the monitor, the green cursor blinking rhythmically, mocking his hesitation. One keystroke. That was all it would take to send the message into the void. To answer the call that had ghosted through the deep space network for three decades.
"Are you sure about this?" Mara asked, her voice barely a whisper over the hum of the cooling fans.
Kael didn't look back. He couldn't. "We've been alone in the dark for too long, Mara. It's time someone turned on the lights."
