Not even ashes reach the ground. Three hundred and sixty degrees of global surveillance: something just took a snapshot.
And then… nothing.
The world holds its breath and waits for the Second Coming—and while it waits, it fractures.

Their crews can barely be called human, what they will face certainly can’t.
