Shadows Under the Endless Expanse

A shuttle crashed on the surface of Poseidus 3, a border world of the United Stellar Federation's sphere of influence. On its board, only one stasis pod had remained active. Only one passenger survived a 500 year old drift. Haul, a student in engineering for the Federation Academy, and his teacher, the professor Aurussium, find this sole survivor. A girl, with no recollection of her origins and deeply affected by her elongated sleep. Only her name remains in her memory. Haul and this girl leave for a journey throughout the galaxy. To find out where she hails from, why she survived, and who are her people. *********************************************** Submission to the WPC#262 Cover art credit goes to : - Terraform Studios - DHK Thanks to my friend Helgi for the photoshop work.
