When Rusty, a rugged human on the Denari ship Nogala, notices something is off with his otter-like crewmate Perg, he digs into a mystery that runs deeper than he expected. What starts as a simple dispute escalates into a power struggle involving the ship’s AI, a looming political coup, and the survival of their captain, Vo’ohn.
As tensions rise, the Nogala’s AI proves to be more than just a machine-its loyalty, logic, and unexpected quirks become the deciding factor in the ship’s fate. With alien traditions clashing against human stubbornness, can Rusty prevent a disastrous leadership change?
💡 What to Expect:
✔️ Intelligent AI with a mind of its own
✔️ Intergalactic political intrigue
