Inside Base Thirteen, nothing moves. Doors remain closed, elevators are still, and shadows lie undisturbed. One by one the flickering lights sputter and go out. The few computers remaining on line mutter to each other in the growing dark, until finally they fall silent in the night.
In the silence, in the dark, something stirs.
A mining colony on a distant world has broken contact with the Empire. All transmissions are dead, like the planet itself. An investigation is imperative. Because something is still out there...reaching out to the living.
