Inter-system space travel is now only the reserve of the elite. Still trying to solve an eons old mystery that could re-democratise the galaxy, Ada, Haika and Mallic must also stay one step of their relentless pursuers; the shady X2 organisation. Even laying low becomes an impossibility as society's most basic structures start to crumble, forcing the crew to make fundamental and devastating choices in order to survive. As self-preservation grips the galaxy, propelled by waves of fear and mistrust, loyalties are pushed to breaking point, and pulling together may not be enough. Is a new beginning in sight, or is it the beginning of the end?
